From Where Love Comes
Don't mind so much that thoughts flit in and out of your mind. That is their nature. They will be gone soon enough anyway, and others will fly in to take their place. You don't have to keep your train of thought.
Sometimes you think that your thoughts hold you and the universe together, but it is Being that holds the universe together. It is Being that holds everything together.
Thoughts are not something you have to hold on to. They are butterflies that alight and move on as they will. Thoughts do not belong to you. They present themselves for a while and then travel somewhere else. And yet you try to hold on to thoughts, all of them. All the thoughts you write down and make lists of, as if your very life depended upon the remembrance of thoughts of one kind or another.
Better not to crowd your mind too much with thoughts. Better to make room for new thoughts. You are not intended to be faithful to past thinking.
If your thoughts from the past hold truth and serve a purpose, they will come back. Even nonproductive thoughts come back. Surely productive ones will.
When life is movement, thinking is a rest along the way. Yet you tend to feel that through thinking, you will recoup imagined losses. Thoughts bring more of themselves, and may overly occupy your mind. Thoughts are only thoughts, but you are Being. Being isn't really something you can think about, try as you may.
We could say that Being occupies the space between thoughts. Of course, it occupies nothing. Being is not a tenant or a writing on the wall but rather the white board upon which everything else rests. Now you can rest more between thoughts.
Your Being, seemingly ephemeral, is solid. Being is the ocean your boat rocks on.
Hearing Me comes from a nonthinking process. Hearing Me is opposed to thinking. I cannot appear under the auspices of the thinking mind. The ears of the thinking mind do not hear well enough.
My messages come from a receiving of impulses that convert themselves into language. Before they appear as language, they are not thoughts. They are impulses from higher than thought. The impulses originate with Me. Therefore, they are impulses of love, passed along to you. Before words, before thoughts, there is love. These impulses are the energy of love. Swished and swirled, the impulses become thoughts. Where they stop, no one knows, but that does not mean that your thoughts are undirected.
The heart is close to the original impulses that transform themselves into thought. Issued through love, before the impulses appear as thoughts, they are filtered in the heart. They go through the heart before the mind pounces on them. The thinking mind grabs an impulse from the heart and thinks it has made a coup. "Aha," the mind may say, "now I can prove something. I can make logic of it."
Logic has its place, but the mind has more to offer than logic. Presupposed on the past, superimposed on the past, logic reduces, yet the mind is meant to expand. Your heart will expand it. Let thoughts rest awhile in the heart.
All great discoveries are founded in love. You are founded in love. From love, love comes. Love comes in many forms. Everything is issued from love. Even all the disdained emotions originate in love, love shaken, love turned upside-down, love ravaged. Rest your mind, and more unmistaken love will pop up.
