The Master of My Pure Thoughts - Part IV
Let me start by saying that I have added the word PURE to this series because that’s actually what we need to master. All of us have a whole array of thoughts that we have gathered over the years and most of them are lies and illusions but our real peace is found when we are awakened to the reality that PURE THOUGHT has been with us from the beginning and will never leave us. I become the master of my pure thoughts when I believe this and allow my pure thoughts to reign.
I also have come to believe that for any of us to be the master of our PURE THOUGHTS we must understand our unique relationship to this universe.
Is it possible that absolutely nothing we think has any merit whatsoever? Is it possible that our thinking process is nothing more then our ego’s need to believe we really matter? All of us want desperately to believe that our individual lives have meaning that has everything to do with us and yet could we be totally and completely wrong about this?
Maybe the human race has far to great of an opinion about their place in this vast universe? Maybe we are nothing more then a colony of ants working feverishly to build something of greatness that is destined to be destroyed by the next great storm.
And so, What shall we do? I know for me the answer is certainly not to look to the world of religion for any answers. Religion offers the great pie in the sky, a place in heaven where all our dreams come true and yet look what religion has brought to earth……….war, hatred, division, pain, suffering, judgments, condemnation, & a portrait of God that brings fear to the hearts of all that will believe.
For me the answer is to be found in believing that I was created from THOUGHT and within me is the same pure thought that holds all of this vast universe together. I don’t own it, I didn’t create it, and this wonderful thing called pure thought that lies within me has nothing whatsoever to do with my ego. When I think it does I find myself lost. When i see myself separate and apart from who I am as an individual then I find life.
Luke 9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
What part of my life do I need to lose? For me it’s about losing my individual identity with the thought that I am suppose to do something great, or be something great, or think something great. It’s about realizing that something great has already been inside me from the beginning and that same something great is inside every single part of all of God’s creation. We are one because that’s what we ARE!
I don’t believe it’s WHAT WE THINK THAT MATTERS, but rather what we believe about our thoughts that matter. I know that seems kind of a contradiction but allow me to try and explain.
When I believe that PURE THOUGHT WAS, IS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE the true ME it changes how I reflect on everything I do and believe. When I see others with this PURE THOUGHT (even if they don’t) it changes how I see them. When I realize that this perfect part of all us can never be threatened, harmed, or destroyed, it removes all fear.
This PURE THOUGHT I am talking about is not something you can learn about or even teach yourself. All you can do is acknowledge it which will always bring PEACE. Or you can go on living in the illusion of your own ego thinking that YOU can make a difference——YOU WILL FAIL. Unfortunately the organized church always plays to your ego and that’s why you will always be left wondering in the dessert of unbelief.
Being a TRUE BELIEVER does not gain you PURE THOUGHT but it does gain you a PEACE that is beyond understanding.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
The "WORLD" Jesus was talking about in that verse was the religious world. The PEACE he gives to us comes from trusting in THE PERFECT PLAN OF GOD.
