Direction of Thought
Realizing that the finest equipment (your mind) is valueless unless applied intelligently for the purpose it was intended. Following is a brief instruction to get the most out of “Thoughts for each Day”.
Let us consider Meditation to be the door in the temple of highest thought each day. This door, within each of us, is the door to the Holy of Holies, designated often as “The Silence.”
It is suggested that one choose a regular time of day, if possible, for a short period of Meditation and Silence. It may be best to pick a time of quiet in your personal world, but it also has been found that your intention can very well quiet the surrounding conditions, whether physical or mental.
A positive attitude, intention, is essential as your first step, followed by a few deep breaths, Sacred breaths we call them. The entire process or exercise should be a brief, concise, complete and comprehensive thought, such as those provided in our Daily Thoughts. Planting the thought well into one’s objective mind, directing that mind toward its highest possible analysis is the next step. As this is received, absorb, with all it’s shades, until the super conscious mind is penetrated and no other thoughts float through. This is sometimes called “One mindedness”
Now we are ready to enter The Silence, which is brief , as it appears to be the space which lapses in consciousness while it is switching from the objective to the super conscious. Much like the space between anything living. Brief and powerful, but never extended, because we may tend to “imagine” not to know the Truth, our truth from our Meditation, regarding that particular Thought of the Day. Our Statement of Being is useful to reconnect to the Silence any time during ones busy day. (To be continued)
