Today I was somehow directed to read Regina Dawn Akers' website and there in the Gospel of Mark, as explained by the Holy Spirit, I was given the answer:

“But, Master,” a disciple asked. “Surely a man who sins and breaks the law is unclean, and he must make a sacrifice to our Lord before he is permitted to worship Him.”

Jesus looked at the disciple with gentleness upon his face.

“Nothing a man does can make him unclean, for his cleanliness comes from within, beyond the unclean thoughts. If a man believes the unclean thoughts within his mind, he will act on them. But if a man does not believe the unclean thoughts in his mind, he will not act on them. If a man has a choice about his thoughts, these thoughts cannot be the essence of the man, for no man has a choice regarding his essence. The essence of a man simply Is, without his choice or his action. And his essence cannot change, for his essence is given him by God.

“This essence of which I speak is within every man, beneath the thoughts that seem to be clean or unclean and beyond the actions that seem to be clean or unclean. It is a man’s essence that worships God. It is this essence that defines who he Is.”

I might as well put this in he miracles-section! I hope Regina won't mind I quoted from her site, which is really something to read!!
Paula

You know?
 
I most surely agree with Master Jesus on that one!
So true!
Perhaps thoughts are things, yes, but doesn't each person have control over his/her own individual thought, something that is a matter of his/her own conscience on whether to act on it or not?  The way I see it, there should never be such a thing as a "thought crime."

Kirt,

It is said that the monkey mind runs amok in all of
us. I think that the reason for this may be that we
live in a multidimensional universe (superstring
theory) that maybe contains mental as well as physical
dimensions. This last is my own idea of extra
dimensions. Thoughts are very difficult to control as
you well know, and this might be because they all have
lives of their own and flow unhindered through the
brains of human beings. This idea also gives support
to the Buddhist idea of Mind as being the ultimate
creative source.

For meditation I do TM and like it a lot. But almost
any meditation can work. But each individual most
likely will like one over another. From my own
experience I found that within a few months of when I
began I could not sit still for 2 minutes. My mind
fought sitting still like a wild stallion. This lasted
for several months or more, but it eventually
subsided. Throughout this process I was very gentle
with myself, which seems to be a key. Teachers of
meditation stress that we gently come back to whatever
mantra we use when we become aware that we are
thinking again. Never force the issue. Kind of like
loving ourselves as an expression of God's Love
directed inwards.

This process has taken many years, but it has been
well worth it. In the meantime following the Loving
advice from heavenletters gives the mind something
powerful to focus on that also helps one find the
deeper meaning in life. Following both paths at the
same time, meditation and Lovingness, is supposed to
speed the process up.

In mindlessness, but with heart,
Robert

Fantastic post Robert! If a master still has an
immense amount of thoughts, then what chance does
this weekend warrior have?
Does anyone have an effective meditation technique
that they'd care to share? I think my monkey mind is
on cocaine or maybe speed!
Robert FitzGerald wrote:
From my own research on the subject, there seems to
be several layers of mind. The shallowest level of
everyday thought is said to take up all of our
awareness daily. This is what Indian philosophy
calls the monkey mind. It is all over the place.
Deeper levels of mind are open to spiritual
processes, such as the ability to create miracles,
to understand the basis of creation, indeed to
become God, or a son or daughter of God. In order to
accomplish this state of being we need to quiet
the monkey mind. This will reveal entire new
vistas of thought and experience.

In order to quiet this mind all oriental
traditions have created various types of
meditation as mental techniques. These are supposed
to quiet the shallow thinking mind allowing us to
access the creative mind. And this is not easy to
do. I remember one very famous Indian saint who
recently answered a similar question by one of his
disciples. He said that the amount of thoughts
that still went through his mind, even as a master,
was immense.>

Maybe instead of thinking we have to change our thoughts, we can just choose different thoughts.
 
My feeling is that all of this isn’t so serious as we make it out.
 
Maybe the thought we want to think is that God loves us right now just as we are. He has said that we don’t have to get dressed up for Him. I believe He has said that we don’t have to “earn” Him. We’re the ones who are discontent with ourselves, and we try to become overachievers. God isn’t exactly asking us to perform for him. He’s not holding an audition. He wants us to accept His love.

Thankyou Serge!
This is the one question I've been wanting to make to God in these days:
Why can't I change my thoughts, when I know which ones I should let go and which ones I should keep? Will I get stuck on my path because I can't change my thoughts, o will You leave me behind, because I can't change my thoughts?

You're a sweetheart, Gloria,

I am thinking about the website thingy. Should do it.
I am having a book signing at 21st Century on
Saturday, Feb. 4th at 2 pm. If you are interested. And
don't hang on to any negative thoughts about 21st
Century. Time to forgive, remember? Cahi at
Revelations? Sounds good. Let me know when might be
good.

Hi Paula,
Visualization can be very powerful. The more you can

visualize something, down to specifics, the more
real
you make it. That reality creates physical reality.

What I used to do, a lot, was when negative thoughts

came to me, I learned to visualize them burning to
ash
and smoke. The smoke rose up into the heaven to be
washed away by God. The more I did this, the quicker
I
became at seeing my negativity almost before the
thought completed itself. After a while all that was

left were the good thoughts. I still use that
technique on occasion.

When I read Gloria's heavenletters my heart expands

and keeps my mind free from most possible backward
steps. Is getting to that state possible for most
people here on the physical plane? Way Yes!!!! We
are
all already pure. We only have to polish the mirror
to
see the truth of who we are. That's a traditional
Buddhist image. I also wonder if a quiet mind means
a
mind free from all thoughts or whether it simply
means
a thinking mind that is also able to access our
creative/miraculous deep mind. Perhaps a thinking
mind
full of compassionate and loving thoughts as well as
a
mind that takes care of daily activities.

From everything I have read, and how I personally
feel, You are already on that path to freedom. Your

questions regarding this indicates that you are
deeply
aware of the next steps on your path. That is a huge

step towards Love and enlightenment. To be aware is
a
powerful prerequisite to anything important
happening.
With awareness comes the ability to pray for
guidance
as well as inner help. The path to God opens wider
with awareness.

You WILL succeed,
Robert

Hey Joe,

Mantras are considered to be powerful sounds, and from
what many masters say you don't just come up with some
word that you might like and find that it works that
way. Mantras are derived from names of God. One master
says that the mantra Om, spelled O M, is a very
powerful mantra that carries the process of
transcending or leaving behind the physical world. He
says that it should only be used if you are in a
monastary and wish to leave the world behind. Other
mantras are designed more for finding one's spiritual
core while also remaining engaged with worldly
concerns. Ah is considered a powerful creative mantra.
It is found in the names of most gods and goddesses
throughout history. Our Christian name of God, Jehovah
ends in Ah. Allah has two ah's in it. It can be argued
that our human physiology responds to stress and
fatigue by sighing, Ahhhhh. A natural built in mantric
response to life. Ah stimulates creativity.

A traditional Jewish mantra is the name of God spelled
out. Yod He Vau He. The four letters that make up the
Jewish name of God. Yod and Vau are sounds that
connect with God the Father. He, pronounced hay,
repeated twice connects with the Shekinah, the Mother
aspect of Divinity. This name of God combines both the
Mother and the Father aspect of creation. Yod and Vau
are said quietly on the inbreath, while He is thought
on the outbreath. This connects the mantra with the
breath of God.

The Rosary is a traditional Catholic mantra repeated
108 times, a number that is sacred to many cultures
and might mean completion in some manner.

The Bible stresses over and over again that it is the
Name of God
that will bring salvation. Repeatedly it is stated
that belief in the Name is the active part of
spirituality. The Name. And a name of God acts as
mantra in cultures all over the world.

Christianity has devalued meditation for various
reasons, perhaps due to mistranslations of the
original text, or for other reasons. I don't know, but
I find wordy prayers to be unsatisfactory for me.
Being Protestant by birth and upbringing, I have
created my own prayer that I have found feels very
good to me. It is also a mantra. I repeat it over and
over again like a mantra, a chant. It goes like this:
Jesus Christ, Fill me with Love.
It can also be used with the name of the Mother
instead of Christ:
Mother Mary, Fill me with Love
I say this right after I said that the masters tell us
not to make up our own mantras. Silly me. But it seems
to be connected somehow to the Loving messages of
Gloria's heavenletters. Maybe this prayer came to me
in order to open me to heavenletters.

I use a traditional mantra for meditation twice a day
and this prayer to fill in at other times whenever I
feel the need to connect somehow, kinda like my own
Church service. There are some very good books on
meditation and mantras if you are interested.

Dance on in Freedom, Dude,

original text, or for other reasons. I don't know, but
I find wordy prayers to be unsatisfactory for me.
Being Protestant by birth and upbringing, I have
created my own prayer that I have found feels very
good to me. It is also a mantra. I repeat it over and
over again like a mantra, a chant. It goes like this:
Jesus Christ, Fill me with Love.
It can also be used with the name of the Mother
instead of Christ:
Mother Mary, Fill me with Love
I say this right after I said that the masters tell us
not to make up our own mantras. Silly me. But it seems
to be connected somehow to the Loving messages of
Gloria's heavenletters. Maybe this prayer came to me
in order to open me to heavenletters.

I use a traditional mantra for meditation twice a day
and this prayer to fill in at other times whenever I
feel the need to connect somehow, kinda like my own
Church service. There are some very good books on
meditation and mantras if you are interested.

Dance on in Freedom, Dude,

: Thanks Gloria and Paula,

This message made me think, and man, that's an odd
thing! The word Freedom just popped into my head.
I am still back thinking about suitable montras,
hope you guys didn't leave me behind? The word
Freedom, pronounced holding the e and ah souns,
"Fre-dah-om! I love it and will be trying it out
tomorrow. It also incorporates the OM, ahm sound
which is so popular!

LPL,
Joe

P.S. Try it Paula, you'll like it!

Dearest Paula,

My understanding is that God leaves no one
behind.

Quote:

Maybe instead of thinking we have to change our
thoughts, we can just choose different thoughts.

Quote:

My feeling is that all of this isn’t so serious
as we make it out.

Quote:

Maybe the thought we want to think is that God
loves us right now just as we are. He has said that

we don’t have to get dressed up for Him. I believe
He has said that we don’t have to “earn” Him. We’re
the ones who are discontent with ourselves, and we
try to become overachievers. God isn’t exactly
asking us to perform for him. He’s not holding an
audition. He wants us to accept His love.

God says we are always with Him, and He is always
with us.

With love and blessings,

Thankyou Serge!
This is the one question I've been wanting to
make to God in these days:

Quote:

Why can't I change my thoughts, when I know which
ones I should let go and which ones I should keep?

Will I get stuck on my path because I can't change
my thoughts, o will You leave me behind, because I
can't change my thoughts?

God bless you!
