Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
When you find yourself not in a state of peace in your mind, then you are in distraction. We are here to experience “peace of mind”. In this place we can rest in real wealth, real love. We allow our minds to be open to the possibilities of something new. The stories we share with each other our agreements we have with ourselves. Stories are interpretations of the now. The now, is endless, infinite, new, yet we seem to be scared of it. So we keep our selves distracted with thoughts, we find that we may be, if honest with ourselves addicted to thinking. Yet how do we learn? How do we grow? In world excited by the show, theatrics, loudness of life, the mind wants to know how can it defend and protect itself from the world it created through stories.
Peace of mind is a practice. In my book, “THE BOOK OF LIGHT: THE HEART OPENING,” I describe the storyteller, which I also reference is “foolish”. It is foolish because it fails in its interpretation of life now. It can’t comprehend the boundless, vast, infinite love you are in now. Because of that it creates systems of beliefs. You are not here to believe anything. You are not here to talk so much. That is what the unaware mind does constantly. It loves to create drama, chaos, which we call roadblocks, then go through them. Once you realize that it is doing this, then you will begin to laugh. Laughter is the first sign of finally giving up your way in the world, your view, which you take so seriously. Beliefs cause war internally and externally.
Our call is to simply shut up, and listen. Listen to the silence. In listening to the silence, you learn how to strengthen your faith. In the silence you will be shepherded moment by moment and instructed breath by breath on your purpose here. Love is patient, love is faith, love has no story. Your breath in Faith will never stop breathing, because thinking has stopped, or slowed. When you think, you hold on to your breath. You are here to listen, respond, and move in loving action.
Today, contemplate Psalm 23. Each line. It has nothing to do with the world. It has to do with you being safe now. Love now, you are loved now. No religion owns God. God is love. So let yourself be loved and safe now. We are a family.
PSALM 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green [1] pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest [2] my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. [3]
