Your Conscious, Friendly Mind – Day 13
When we start worshipping the Divine and opening the heart in prayer, we begin to continuously expand. In that expansion, all of the constrictions, all of the narrow energy within, and all of the consciousness begins to move and flow. We are working to open the floodgates, to allow conscious connection to the Divine to happen spontaneously.
This is the Peak that we were born to see provided we resolve with greater determination to consciously work in the plane of the mind to transform and transmute instinctive surrender to these Five Afflictions. Intuitive understanding of their fallacy will transcend them to the world of birthless, deathless reality of the Universal Self.
- To practice developing a positive, befriending mind, sit in meditation. Open yourself to the Divine Presence. See yourself encircled by the light of the Divine. Know that light is always protecting you, guiding you, informing you, uplifting you. See Divine light forming a protective shield around you, a shield that allows no negative to penetrate. See yourself moving through the coming day within this circle of divine light. Surrender any negative that comes to you, any negative that arises within you, into the light. Feel it being burned away. Feel the joy in that. Feel yourself returned to an ever-deepening awareness of this one, ultimate reality: you belong to the Divine; you are held in an eternal circle of Divine light; you walk in a universe of Divine love. You stand forever in the circle of Divine energy.
- Affirm your willingness to learn from every life experience and to gain the full measure of its contribution to your soul’s consciousness. Resolve to redirect every negative thought by holding it and the situation that gives rise to it in the light. Be assured, your devotion to God’s light and love will take care of all the negativity. You will be in the body, free of fear of death, celebrating moment to moment.
