4. The forces of life are volatile; they are composed of our thoughts and ideals and these in turn are molded into form; our problem is to keep an open mind, to constantly reach out for the new, to recognize opportunity, to be interested in the race rather than the goal, for the pleasure is in the pursuit rather than the possession.

The last couple weeks have been, a ebb and flow. One day is going really good then, followed by a challenging day. Listening to the chatter in my head, backing off and being the observer, then recognizing, that I am creating all that is happening. One moment I want to run and hide the next I want climb up on a mountain and shout. I see the cement attempting to creep back on and cover up the Golden Budda, then realizing that is just the old making an attempting to not let go. One step at a time, one conscious thought at a time. I am whole, I am perfect, I am strong, I am powerful, I am loving, I am harmonious, I am happy.

I always keep my promises.

The analogy of human life process being  made up of the taking in of  nutrients necessary for the construction of healthy cells and then the breaking down and excreting of the waste material. We find that most of all disease is caused by the failure to properly eliminate the waste. So I see a very good visual of the challenge we have with the primary essence of life “thinking”. It seems that our challenge is not so much the taking in of good thoughts, it is the elimination of the negative or bad thoughts. Then I see that it is choosing and being aware of the choice, to think good thoughts, or thoughts of what we want, not what we do not want.

Our exercise this week, really brings to the forefront that the mistaken thoughts we have that God, Omnipotence, or Infinite is some where out there in the either, is a big mistake, it is closer than our breath, closer than our hands or feet, it is in us, we are it, or a small part of it, however, one and the same. WOW

I always keep my promises.
