Guiding Thought

Through my physical body, I bring Divine Light and Love to the physical universe. I heal unresolved issues through loving thoughts, words, and emotions, and I become lighter and brighter. I bring light to all I have denied and heal my past-present-future NOW. Every day I am lighter and lighter!

Reflection

I spent 6 minutes contemplating the Guiding Thought (I’ve been watching a clock recently, to make sure I stay focused for a minimum of 5 minutes, to fulfill the minimum “requirement” for the Journey.)

I was able to stay focused in my head, but with residues of yesterday’s panic/guilt/unworthy/fear, I was not able to get into a corresponding emotional state.

Fortunately—and this is where I now see the value of “the work” and of the Journeys over time—I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I absolutely have accomplished this Guiding Thought to a very respectable degree–just not today.

I know that:

• Through my physical body, I bring Divine Light and Love to the physical universe, because I have been doing meditations for 2 years on precisely this. I have also changed my diet (with the occasional relapse), to assist my body in receiving and anchoring these energies. Even though I do not feel it emotionally today, intellectually, I know I’ve been doing it—and I have the Journey entries to prove it to my doubting-mind.
• I heal unresolved issues through loving thoughts, words, and emotions, and I become lighter and brighter, because (again), I have been doing this through meditations for the past 2 years.  
• I bring light to all I have denied and heal my past-present-future NOW. This one may be tough to understand—I mean, after all, how do you heal the past and future now? What came to mind for me was the article I wrote about how energy comes back to me.

The idea is that right now, I put energy out. That energy is influenced by any past emotions or impressions that still have a hold on me. Whatever I do now goes out into the collective consciousness influenced by all those emotions or impressions from my past. That energy mingles with everyone else’s energy, and I attract back to me similar energy to what I put out—but when it comes back to me it also has the “flavor” of other people’s energy (so I may not recognize it as “mine”).

Every moment, I have a choice about the energy I send out into the collective consciousness. Unless I actively do something in this moment to change emotions and impressions from the past, they will come back to me as I sent them out (and usually increased). But, if I change what I send out now, it’s like both erasing the energy from the past, as well as guaranteeing a different (*new! improved!*) energy coming back to me. That’s how anyone can change the past and the future now.

 If I am happy with how my own energy comes back to me, then there’s no problem. But if I should want more love, light, peace, harmony, and etc. in my life, then it’s in my best interest to pay attention to the energy I am sending out, and do my best to send it out with as much love and light as I possibly can. (This is –imho- the basis for Jesus’ admonition to turn the other cheek—it’s not about forgiving the other person for their sake; it’s about what energy do you want coming back to you?)

• Every day I am lighter and lighter! This is true! I feel it (except for my few “relapses” into foods and thoughts that drag me down—yesterday as a case in point…my recent binge on Mexican food for dinner several nights in a row, as a second case in point.)

In the view of these Journeys as experiments, today has brought forth a new result, one I have never experienced before: I do not feel the Guiding Thought, but my experience in feeling it over the past two years increases my trust and faith in myself and in these Journeys!
