My thoughts are sometimes what drives me, my thoughts are really who I am most of the times.

It says "as a man thinketh so is he". I try to weed out the good from the bad, although sometimes I'm not successful, it's still a work in progress, but for the most part I've been VERY happy with my recent thoughts and I know that the Good Lord have nothing but goodness stored up and waiting for me.

Now I just need to do my part and get a lot of negativity out of my life.

How on earth do we deal with such things as our "Thoughts"? Can they be controlled? This Heaven Letter tells you this:

"You are more thoughtful when you have fewer thoughts. Let not your mind be full of thoughts like weeds. Pluck the weeds out and let beautiful flowers grow tall in the garden of your mind. Let flowers of thoughts blossom. Too many thoughts are wasteful. Thought after thought runs into another, and you don't even know what you are thinking. Let wholesome thoughts thrive and let go of those thoughts that would rattle you. Let your thoughts be respectful of you. You need not be subservient to your thoughts."

Read each Letter that you can find about how to choose the THOUGHTS that you want and how to discard the ones you don't want. Yes it takes a bit of thought but the results are living a much higher life.

"Worthless thoughts are ruthless thoughts. Worthwhile thoughts bring peace."

So simple. If a thought does not give me peace, it's a worthless thought, a ruthless thought. No exception. Ruthless thoughts that bring no peace are what keeps up dissension. They are ego's most finely honed instrument it uses to go on grinding out explanations, theories, suggestions, injunctions, plans, separations et cetera, all that has been keeping us busy, too busy to pause and look. Pausing and looking we would have long since found out that this is what we really want: "You want to be free to think, not encumbered with thoughts that would take you over and leave you no peace."

But turning around softly now, the world swiveling past you and disappearing into itself, there is "a backyard where thoughts do not enter." If you have ever been in this yard, even for a mere second, you know the depth of happiness that is possible for us. We all come from there, of course, and we are free and even able to renew ourselves there any time we want to. It's just that thinking has become too big a part of what we wrongly consider to be our identity.

"Here the grass is long, and yet you don't have to even think about mowing it. Here you just let everything be." Do these words take you there? Almost? Lying in the long grass for a moment or just gazing at the wonder of it, it becomes quite clear that this is what God's messages call our responsibility. To "just let everything be" is the great work we are here to accomplish while doing all the everyday things our lives seem to consist of.

What pictures, what a world! Does it not bring on dearest memories? "Let your thoughts be like birds who are free to fly." Just look now, just watch them take flight, perhaps to return, perhaps not. "Let thoughts graze quietly in the pasture of your mind." Yes, I remember, I remember huge stretches of green lands on misty early mornings with a milky, low sun and only the soft sounds of horses grazing and breathing. This is it, no doubt. How did I come to imagine there are more important things to take care of? Put differently, when did my thoughts become disrespectful of me, pushing me around, harassing me? Imagine, if you will, what a thought that respects you would sound like and feel like. "Let your thoughts be respectful of you." What a vast suggestion.
