All the whys and wherefores put you on a treadmill from which you can never get off. So long as you look for reasons or THE reason, you go around in circles. You race nowhere. All you know is what appears to be. There is the sense in which you need to accept that there is no cause. B does not always follow A or lead to C. This acceptance can free you to move on in a new direction of thought and life. Reason lies on the surface and does not go beneath.

Even if you could trace all the reasons why, what would you have gained really? The cause would be as inexplicable to you as that which you wanted to find the cause of. You might be right back where you started from, thinking the cause wasn't fair either, or that there was a mistake, and you didn't get the right answer.

You can know how important your thoughts are. That much you can know. Your thoughts have a timbre. Let your thoughts resonate with the timbre you want.

With music, you don't listen to drums unless you like drums. Nor do you listen to violins when you prefer drums. You choose the music you will listen to for the effect it has on you. Choose your thoughts the same way. You can do it.

Positive thoughts by and large reap positive results. Negative thoughts the same. The use of the God-given power of thought created the flight to the Moon. Thought invented ballpoint pens and the conglomeration of the Internet that gives you access to My words now. Certainly, you didn't think your thoughts were powerless, did you? Your thoughts may be bound, but powerless? Never.

Do you think the notes of music are more powerful than the thoughts of man? The power of your thoughts can break glass, so to speak, or put it back together. Let your thoughts be a high note that reconciles the world to its truth and beauty.

You may think you are powerless. But right now your thoughts are contributing to harmony or they are contributing to disharmony. Or sometimes your thoughts are neutral. Yes, there is a turning-point called neutral. Your thoughts and the feelings behind them lie on a scale of benevolence. There is quite a range. In actuality, there is no limit, there is no top, but for the sake of description, We will say there is a top.

Make up an imaginary range from zero to whatever number you want. Color code this thermometer, and what color do you want your thoughts to reach?

Your thoughts can reach as far as Mine. Your thoughts do reach as far as Mine. I hear your thoughts, and I hear your pleas for peace, and I hear your doubts and your fears. I hear your arguments, and I hear your despair.

I have to ask you, what kind of thoughts do you want to have, and what keeps you from having them? Can you not reach the imagined top of the scale when there is, in truth, no limit to the scale?

If you cannot reach higher in your own thoughts, then take Mine. Pull down My thoughts the way you would a branch in order to reach the rosiest apples from the top of the tree. Reach higher for the apples on which the sun shines most easily. Reach higher to My thoughts then and bring them down. You really do know what they are. You know My thoughts. You know My heart. You know My love. Come, I would give them to you.
