The experiences of the past several days have reinforced my belief that life - all life - is energy, influenced, caused and directed by consciousness. Thought - both conscious and more importantly subconscious thought - is all that exists.
The Buddha said: "All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts; it is made up of our thoughts."
If our thoughts truly create and form the foundation of our life, and as we think approximately 65,000 or more thoughts a day, what determines which thoughts manifest themselves as embedded beliefs? It has also been scientifically proven that we think basically the same thoughts (or the same flavor of thoughts) over and over and over again. These patterns become literally embedded pathways of our brain, much like water flowing over time wears away stone to form a channel.
Experiences have a direct impact on this flavor of thought by informing our body (primarily our nervous system) as to whether the experience is life-affirming or life-threatening. (Fight or flight) To remain in a life-threatening thought pattern over long periods of time "traps" the energy within the body and can create negative physical sensations or dis-ease.
Due to the release of my old life-threatening thoughts which had formed an energy block within my physical body around this 40-year old negative relationship, today my body feels light and relaxed, free of any tension at all. During my meditation this morning, I could literally feel the flow and openness of energy in my body - and how very grand!
Even though I have been teaching this for almost 20 years, to have it reinforced by my own life-altering, energy-altering, conscious shift in thought is truly astonishing. It reinforces in such a positive way the Truth of this teaching.
To those who are skeptics or who dismiss and disregard the ever-growing body of evidence supporting the new sciences, I encourage further study. The wisdom of the sages, Shamans and mystics over centuries is being revealed again and again by people just like me.
Blessed be,
Lynn
