My most wonderful insights, stabilizing clarity and glimmers of Truth have come to me through thought, pondering, wondering, imagining, thinking, contemplation exploring ideas....

I don't meditate, so I know that is not a requirement to 'Greater Understanding'...or seeing The Big Picture (which could very well be a good way to say it) Meditation or 'mentation', either way, we all seem to end up at the same Truth....Well, of course.

Also, this: I know we always hear that in Truth there is no choice...and that is true; The Living Truth is Being All That Is, therefore It is Choiceless, It is Supernal Isness and as Total is Choicelessness Itself....However, this does not mean that I have no choice.

I do have a choice in the matter...I have a choice of what thoughts I want to store, nurture and reinforce. I can choose which thoughts to harbor and which to kick out or pay no attention to, it is a choice for me

When you do not give certain thoughts any credence or validity then they just die from lack of nourishment, they just go away because they do not get fed the attention.

You make a choice to either give room to 'not truth' and foster the lies and the 'unreal' and pretend that God is not All in All and All There Is.......or you Accept and live by and make room for The Living Presence of Light Itself, The Truth That Is Always Here, and give That your full attention. You say to yourself, Is God All? If the Answer is Yes, then you know and accept that 'there is no other' therefore Everything is all right, Right Here and Now.

Stay with The Light; this is the best thing I can I do for myself...and It works Wonders...I watch and see....Eventually it becomes very easy, it is not a struggle to choose 'which master to worship'.

Eventually Real Identity grows stronger and stronger...the 'old separated sense of identity' looses its hold on us.

You know how they clean the bottom of a ship that has grown heavy with barnacles? They sail it into fresh water and then the barnacles fall off all by themselves....

So, sail your ship (your mind and heart) into Fresh Water when ever you feel like the barnacles are weighing you down...Stay There, do not leave the Harbor. Allow the Waters of Life to do their job. They do it naturally.

Stay with The Light of Truth, It Works Wonders and Miracles upon your Spirit. It refreshes your soul, and invigorates your mind to think for yourself and thus not be mislead by the clamor and chaos of the worldly view points.

It is up to me which thoughts I put forward and nurture and water with my adoration and love...It is up to me to give more attention to The Light of Truth that I Am and Live That Light.

I have a choice as to which thoughts and concepts to let go. I make the choice which words and actions I will feed.

I choose Good Thoughts, as trite and unsophisticated as that my sound. I choose thoughts that are mingled with and live around things of the highest order.

Contemplation is for me far better than 'meditation'. Contemplating This Blessed Wonder that is Right Here, Right HERE, This Beloved One, Life Itself, Life, God, Living Truth, Divine Hereness and Nowness, The Living Presence of God's Awareness and His Infinite, Eternal Allness. I awake to this Fact of Isness; The Is That I Am which is Infinite and Eternal and It is What I AM...

Ah, Sweet Grace, This is such a marvel to see...If the sea of life gets stormy and rough, I can take myself to This Presence, Here and Now The very Truth of Who I REALLY Am and I stay Here.

The Blessing Is this; I can think 'about' this Extraordinary Presence of Light and Beingness, Grace and Wonder that Is Right Now, Always Present and always My True Identity, and by 'thinking about It' this very doing so beings me Here and Now.

There are times when I need to remind myself of Who I AM and I do that via 'thoughts'...

Thinking and thoughts are not be gotten rid of, we are not to be empty minded or have a silent mind. We are one with The Infinite Source of All That Is,and This is the Deep, Infinite, Unseen Silence Itself...We could not think or create or even exist without The Silence That is Being All That I Am...It is the very Source of my thinking and ideas and the sense of self I am, awareness and the ability to contemplate the Marvel of Being. I steep myself in the Depth of Silence, and find an infinite expression of That Silence in the world of time and matter.

What thoughts we cater to and feed, those are the ones that live in us and 'become' the way we live our lives...I choose my thoughts, and that creates my attitude...My thoughts bring me Uplifting, they are tools to remind me of True Identity. It is my thoughts that bring me back to My Right Selfhood.. As much as we hear that we are not to think, it is by way of thought that I find Myself Here in the timeless One where all thoughts arise from.

My thoughts are little bee lines that connect me to The Higher Self or the lower self...I choose which way to go.

I can say to myself "is that really true? Is God having trouble understanding Itself?" or is God worried, or is The Infinite All in a struggle to find peace? No, of course not....If I have thoughts that come that are not established in Truth, then I simply say, "no, of course that is not true, then why am I saying I cannot 'do this or that' why am I saying I am incapable of 'this or that' why would I tell myself I am not 'a part of God's Living Presence'....Why would I perpetuate a lie when I know full well it is a lie?...I would not!

You know you have to bring in that inner dialogue that gets us back to the Living Light and The Absolute Truth of Who We ARE...It is a choice....

Then, choosing which way to go, choosing the honest choice; knowing our True Identity and Living It...well, that changes our attitude about everything...

Then we see that it all becomes very much about our attitude...With Right Attitude Everything changes. Watch and see.

Stay with the Light, It is all a very real choice that I can make any time I want to...I can choose to stay with The Light, See My Eternal Selfhood That I Am, Always Was and Forever Will Be...or I can choose to be what 'what I am not and never was' ...If I choose the lie and accept that I am a separate little pea brain me-sense that is in the dark and does not know his True Selfhood that attitude that comes with such lies and liars will be reflected in the world mirror of life around me......

A Joyful Recognition of Who We REALLY Are allows us to let go of the lies and untruth of 'who we are not and never were'....We accept and Live that we ARE 'part of Something Divine', We are The Sons of God.......If we just stay with That, it seems to permeate everything we do and be and see...That is The Fresh Healing Waters wherein the barnacles fall off without having to do a thing about it.....Choice....I choose, it is up to me and no one else.

Much Love, Sandy
