What is really healthy in the mental realm?

Let us ponder the thought “What is really ‘healthy’ in the mental realm?”

We can be certain that it’s not pharmaceuticals prescribed by doctors to heal all kinds of inflictions. We hear about the side effects and wonder why one drug supposedly heals a certain illness but at the same time destroys our organs. The ads on Television tell us to take a drug and then warn us about the dangers. It seems that the negative effects of taking pills outweigh the positive ones.

We can also attest, that in most cases, home remedies, quick fixes, organic juices, lean food, diets, and all the other advertised cures are only short term solutions.

However, we can be sure that real health comes from healthy, wholesome thoughts; a shift in attitude and mental stamina. Real health is our ability to discern between right and wrong, always choosing high quality thoughts and feelings. Thoughts and feelings that are virtuous, wholesome and good for all concerned. This change in attitude will alleviate worries and stress, anger and resentment, and many more negative emotions which contribute to ill health. Just look at what stress, worries, or anger can do to people! These are just some examples; we all know there are many more uneasy thoughts entertained by each and every one of us on a daily basis.

Today, I’m asking you to make a commitment to yourself and your health, your most precious gift. Promise to honor yourself by not allowing negative and destructive thoughts and feelings to enter your mind. You can stop them at the door of your consciousness by saying: ‘No, I will no longer allow you to enter my mental realm.’
Please know that a shift of Consciousness to a higher dimension is inevitable, because Progress is a Law of Life. Spiritual transformation might be subtle, but it is also certain. It’s all part of the Universal Plan - and so are we.”

Spiritual Food

We’re talking today about spirituality, not religion. A spirituality which connects us with our awareness, inner calm, strength and faith. Faith in the Allness of Good.

So we must ask ourselves: am I hungry for more spiritual food? Or, am I content with the daily fast-food I am providing for myself? Am I content with chewing down some lesser than good thoughts or do I want to be a gourmet diner, and feast from the delicacies of true Spirit only. This banquet of healthy nourishment is already waiting for us, ready to be served.


If we stay closed with fear and doubt, we will never grow spiritually. All of our thought patterns and characteristics will continue the same. We will continue to just stuff ourselves with what’s easy to grab, without thought and foresight, but if we want to grow and unfold our understanding, we must muster up courage and be receptive to all possibilities. We must push our imagination; push our boundaries and capabilities. Allowing our creativity to shine from within and choose the best mental attitude is what will keep us well-nourished and healthy. Right thoughts and feelings are the right spiritual food we shall eat from now on.

Our responsibilities

When we talk about responsibilities, what comes to mind? Work, bringing home a paycheck, our children of course and their education, caring for an elderly parent and things of that nature. But in order to be able to provide these loving services, we must understand that our foremost responsibility is to ourselves and our spiritual unfoldment.

Why? When this sense of conscientiousness and reliability to our own psyche is in balance, we will naturally do the right thing for others. The truth is, that we can only do what’s right for others when we are whole within ourselves. There is no ego attached to this view point; self always must come first when healing is necessary. Healing not only from physical afflictions, but healing from mental dispositions and emotional pain.


What else can we do for our fellow brothers and sisters? It is our duty to contribute to the awakening of the masses - the awakening to a better more blissful life, that is joyful, plentiful, and harmonious. The journey has begun. It is a journey of self-discovery. So, let us be good, act good, do good, and be a factor in this Universal awareness that is growing and blossoming. We cannot force anyone to understand or to want to learn about the Truth, but we can live and teach by example. I am grateful for this gift that has been given to us by the Allness of Good.

Attachment to "things"

10/8/2016

Are you attached to everything around you? Your house, your car, your family photos, and all of your earthly possessions? Or can you look at them in a more spiritual sense: your house as a temporary abode, your car as a convenient means of transportation, and your family photos as a collection of fond memories for example?
 
We cannot take any earthly objects with us on our journey to our next state of being. We can only enjoy them here and now while practicing to reach and refine our higher Consciousness. Yes, we can achieve all earthly blessings—a lovely home, a great family, the perfect job—and still gain spiritual knowledge. It all depends on our priorities; what is important to us at this stage of unfoldment.
 
Eventually, however, the longing for material riches will subside. Only our sense of comfort will remain, and even this sense of comfort will have evolved to a higher level of understanding. At this point in our unfoldment, our focus will be only on gaining more understanding of Universal Truth, spiritual awareness, God.

The signs of time

I was thinking about our beloved sons and daughters – so-called millenniums, and how they were mostly raised in prosperous conditions compared to other nations. They have been nurtured and cuddled by us baby boomers and I’m sure we can agree that no matter what the circumstances were, we raised a smart yet sometimes selfish generation.

I’m certain that evolving technology had and has its share of influence, considering that our smallest children are put in front of a computer screen before they can speak. They grew up with the experience of instantaneous “getting” by the push of a button. The result? Our culture wants everything right now, instant gratification.

Of course, all of this isn’t necessarily bad if viewed correctly. It’s actually a wondrous, mostly beneficial and necessary part of our individual unfoldment.  It’s a natural outcome or visible reflection of the progress of life.

Let us not forget, however, that life is comprised of conscious awareness and consists purely of the unfoldment of each individual Soul. The spiritual process is tremendously important, but it is not instant. This process takes more than the acquisitions of material things. Life requires a mental and spiritual component. It requires diligent thought and reason. It necessitates a loving sense and kindness, caring and a passion for the good. It is an ongoing, evolving process with many ups and downs. Errors and Corrections.
So maybe, we as parents can look at the ‘right now syndrome’ and start living more patiently, which in turn will reflect onto our off-spring. Live and teach what helps this progress: Personal growth and Thoughtfulness. Advancement and Values. Success and Compassion.

Let God, the Universe, the almighty intelligent power, know that you are happy and grateful to be alive. Why not say, ‘Thank you, Father, Universe, (or whatever your name for this almighty power is), I have everything I need’. This grateful attitude will bestow more good onto us. Let us trust in the Allness of Good and start every endeavor with the knowledge that if we think correctly, positively and lovingly, about all that we do on a daily basis, we will see patience as it should be seen. A virtue not a hindrance.
