Benefits of Sorting Thoughts
|
It is interesting & rather fun, as I get better at sorting the
thoughts I have. There are infinite possibilities of what kind of
thoughts to entertain. It is truly a paint brush to canvas, or a pen
to paper. The method I currently use to sort thoughts has been
beneficial. A metaphor of thoughts that are treasures to be kept
& cultivated; as well the other thoughts of trash to be thrown
out. I hold a thought up to the light in a way. If it is a thought
based on Love I work with it. If the thought has no
characteristics of Love, it is not worth entertaining. Any
encouraging, positive, inspiring, & love based thoughts can
create miracles. The thoughts of doubt, worry, or fear, only take
me away from what I truly want. Sometimes it is reaching with
faith to get to the point of complete trust in Love. Other times it
could seem like a battle to not look at negative thoughts, but
even that is a thought. I don’t underestimate the clever,
deceiving, & fear based thought; they can seem very
convincing. I see no reason to have a battle in my mind, for it is
not of peace, grace, & kindness. It is a process of progression to
grow into letting go, to discern with wisdom what I want, &
what I don’t want, on a psychological level. Within the text of
A Course in Miracles, it states, “Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.”
