Is Your Mind Your Best Friend Or Your Worst Enemy?

We have the power to choose our thoughts. This is so important because thoughts are electromagnetic charges that clarify to the universe how we want to express ourselves in this incarnation. We are here to express ourselves creatively. That is the ultimate purpose for being. And we live in a world of free will — that is, there are an infinite number of possibilities of how to live and look and act and dress and speak and… Be. Prior to incarnation, each person choses all of this in order to have the specific experiences one needs for one’s own soul growth.

Over the course of human life on this planet, free will has been tamped down by Judgment. Judgment says, “You and I cannot both be right. One of us is more right.” Life experiences teach us to form opinions about ourselves and the world around us. Opinions come from our personal preferences and are, therefore, results of our personalities. Judgments, on the other hand, stem from a fundamental fear, the fear that we are separate from each other and from the Divine.

Diane is a successful businessperson. She functions well at work, has received many promotions and is running her own division. But Diane has a form of social anxiety. That is, after she attends any kind of group event, such as a party, book club or other social gathering, she begins second guessing herself. She chastises herself for what she said, how she spoke or what she was wearing. She dreads the thought of the next social function.

Diane’s thoughts turn on her, but in essence they do so in an attempt to keep her safe. Her mind was trained at an early age to be wary in social settings and so, in a misguided attempt to help her, her mind warns her that she is putting herself at risk.

The mind is a composite of everything we have ever experienced in this lifetime. It consists of parts that are positive, successful and supportive. It also consists of parts that criticize, victimize and condemn. All of us have this dichotomy existing within, sometimes more consciously aware of it than we are at other times.

Our mind seems built to form judgments, and in fact, does so in a misguided attempt to keep us safe. Discerning the appropriateness of our actions, words and appearance helps us feel accepted socially, which, in part, leads to our survival in society.

Are you waking up as well?

All of our lives we have been living in a world of third-dimensional perceptions. That is, our physical world is real to the eye, to the ear and to the touch. Our five senses pick up information and relay it to the brain in a way that seems actual and authentic.

However, there is a shift occurring in the way our minds understand the world around us. This shift is allowing us to perceive beyond the physical. Perhaps you have noticed changes in yourself already, changes that may include: a deeper desire to connect to the Earth; noticing messages in your dreams; a potentially sudden discontentment in your job or relationships; or becoming aware of as your intuitive insights, suddenly “knowing” things you never knew before.

This shift that all of us on the planet are experiencing is an awakening that encompasses an expansion of the finite understanding of our world as merely physical. Our awareness of ourselves and everything around us is growing to incorporate an understanding that we are all energy beings, connected to everything and everyone.

All of us who are alive on the planet at this time have agreed to this expansion prior to our incarnation. We agreed — on the soul level — to be here at this time to support each other as we awaken. The process of awakening is specifically to fulfill the purpose of our experiment here on earth, which is to remember who we are, in spite of living behind a veil of forgetfulness.

This is an exciting time! The Earth is shifting her energies as well, rebalancing through environmental changes. Think of the extreme weather and natural disasters as the Earth taking a deep breath and stretching her sore, achy muscles. She is reclaiming lost parts of herself. She is releasing and transmuting heavier energies of eons of human negativity and fear. She is healing.
