"Mommy, what am I made of?"
 
Little one, you are made of subtle stuff, in the image (for want of a better word) of the divine.

You can feel Love and express Joy, and when you are really still to your core, your deeper characteristics will mature.

You have the ability to be Honest with out fear and Tolerant in the face of anything, you are Gentle by nature and without any need, for you are also Defenseless.

You have your Father's Spirit of Generosity so Patience comes naturally to you, and of course there is your deep and abiding Faithfulness that will see you through all your tribulations.

Most important of all though, my little one, you are Open-minded, you are free not to judge your brothers and sisters and by so doing, all that which I have already told you shall come to pass.

Be still now my little one and rest, you are perfectly safe Now and always in the arms of Love...

"What is it YOU really Think?"

There are two ways of thinking, there is our mundane thinking in the world, thoughts like "What time is it" and "What's for dinner, I'm starving".  Then there is our higher thinking like "My interests are your interests" and "We are all One under the sun"

So, we could look at the former or mundane thinking as horizontal thought, and the later or higher thinking as vertical thought. Horizontal thought makes our physical world and vertical thought Creates our Spiritual Awareness.

In a way when we are thinking horizontally we are not doing anything any goat in a field cannot do, but when we think vertically we are being like God, we are thinking like God and we are Creating like God.

Spare a moment to think about HOW you are thinking, it doesn't take long, just five minutes a day where you decide to clear your mind of all the minutia of your life and search for something you have in common with another.

You will soon find you want to have a clear mind more of the time, and as you are elevated in your thinking, miraculous thought discoveries will start occurring to you.

We are "wanting machines" that's how we accumulate possessions and ideas, we simply "want" them, imagine if you decided to focus your ability to "want" when you were stilling your mind? Imagine the power of God "wanting" you, and you "wanting" the power of God, WOW!

So, just take a few minutes now and "want" something you can share with the world, Peace, Happiness, Joy, Love, there are many worthy attributes that lay dormant within us that will come alive if we
"want" them to...

"What is Open-Mindedness?"

What is Open-Mindedness and why is it such a sound posture on which to base our decisions?

To understand open-mindedness we need to look at it's opposite, closed-mindedness, close-mindedness comes from an unwillingness to over-look that which we are fearful of. We refuse to examine new ways of thinking because they may not fit with accepted moral or social norms, we don't want to be seen as straying from the flock.

Old ideas and superstitions about God and the nature of creation are rigidly held onto even though they are obviously false to anyone who personally examines them. The idea that one can expect salvation simply by believing certain things held to be true by religious groups is a perfect example of the irresponsibility of organized religion and its followers.

On the other hand, open-mindedness leads us to question everything, how does salvation really work, is it just simply a matter of bowing ones head and uttering a certain promise to some imaginary deity, or is there something else involved.

The open-minded leave not their lives or their minds, in the hands of others, they take the initiative in everything and they are willing to stand alone, outside the flock if that is what it will take to reach Truth.

I quote here from A Course in Miracles - Manual for Teachers, on the subject of open-mindedness:

"How do the open-minded forgive? They have let go all things that would prevent forgiveness. They have in truth abandoned the world, and let it be restored to them in newness and in joy so glorious they could never have conceived of such a change. Nothing is now as it was formerly. Nothing but sparkles now which seemed so dull and lifeless before. And above all are all things welcoming, for threat is gone. No clouds remain to hide the face of Christ. Now is the goal achieved. Forgiveness is the final goal of the curriculum. It paves the way for what goes far beyond all learning. The curriculum makes no effort to exceed its legitimate goal. Forgiveness is its single aim, at which all learning ultimately converges. It is indeed enough."
