Thoughts
become things.
Any thought
-- anything we are conscious of persistently -- will eventually show up and
become real and true in our lives.
Believe me, I
have experienced the worst of what I thought!
This is why
it is important for us to stop for a moment each day and NOT have thoughts.
Why?
Everyday, our lives are filled with both negative and positive situations and
feelings. Every thought that we have is an energy arrow, an infra-red signal
which joins with other similar energy frequencies.
Therefore, the moment we stop thinking about something,
we switch off that energy frequency. We then have a chance to switch to another
frequency.
The moment we
stop thinking about something, we stop shooting arrows. If we are busy
shooting, how can we receive our blessings?
That moment
that we stop actively 'thinking' -- I call that 'meditation.'
It may oppose
the popular notion of "doing" the meditation act, that of sitting
like a monk in a lotus position to meditate.
Meditation is not religious, even though it is expounded by major religions
followed today. Even Christians who don't believe in meditation are defying the
very statement in their holy scriptures that says, "Be still and know that
I am God."
For the act
of being 'still' is what meditation is about. Not thinking, not worrying, not
wishing, not fearful, not concerned, not ecstatic.
The stillness means not thinking.
But it is not
a statement that God (most think of God as a figure in the sky) is telling to
us. It is in fact our TRUE NATURE telling us that when we are still, we are
consulting 'I' -- our inner self -- our higher being -- the
God in us.
For God the
creator, the infinite intelligence is in us, and IS us -- all smelly, lying,
foul-mouthed, hating us. God and I are ONE and the same.
God is the
HQ. We are the branch offices. We ARE the God that is living life thru me, thru
you, thru each and everybody and every thing.
So when you
are NOT thinking, but focus on the task at hand, whether it's sitting quietly
and watching the ocean, listening to the birds, looking at children play, or
singing, making love, yes, that too... sewing, washing the dishes, sweeping the
floor....
...when you are doing something WITHOUT thinking about
the bills that are not paid, or resenting your spouse, your car that's broken
down, the family member in the hospital, being angry at someone else...you get
what I mean...
..then you
are in meditation. You are in the now. You are not somewhere else, shooting off
complex thoughts and feelings. You are here...doing this thing...now.
That moment
when you are in meditation, it is the moment you hand over to HQ to act,
orchestrate, organize and execute.
HQ can't
reach you if you are busy. HQ can only support whatever you're doing. It is the
blueprint of existence. HQ has empowered us and authorized us to run our own
branch office, our own lives, the way we want it. HQ will support us WITHOUT
fail.
HQ just supports you whatever you are thinking and feeling at every moment.
Yes, even when we are thinking that we are the most stupidest, most
unconfident, most ugliest, most broke, most out-of-luck bloke. HQ just supports
us if we want to live that way and be that way.
It is called
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
So, now,
really think and act consciously the kind of life you want to have, the kind of
person you want to be. Meditate.
Don't worry
about how, don't fret over the bills that are not paid, don't be afraid of
someone stopping you...
Be conscious
of what you are thinking everyday. What kind of energy arrows are you shooting?
Then stop. Meditate. Let HQ do its part and send it over
to you to run at branch office.
