TRANSCENDING THE MIND

11/3/2018

The mind is in a hurry. It wants answers and it wants them now. "When will such and such happen?" "When will I get that?" For the mind the present moment is incomplete and unsatisfying and it continuously and desperately seeks completeness. It believes that completeness will come at some point in the future when a different emotion is experienced, when certain information has been attained, when a particular status has been reached or when material gain has been achieved. "When will I feel differently?" "When will I finally be happy?" "When will I know my purpose?" "When will I meet my life partner?" The barrage of thoughts never ends and if one question is answered, another appears. If one desire is fulfilled, another appears.

The only way to end this vicious cycle of seeking and to experience a true and lasting sense of completeness is to transcend the mind by totally letting go of all thoughts and surrendering fully into the present moment. Letting go of thoughts doesn't mean that thoughts stop appearing. It means that they are noticed but not believed in. They are observed but they are not given any power and they are not identified with.

Transcendence of the mind cannot happen in the future. It can only happen in this moment, regardless of how this moment presents itself. Become still right now and notice how this moment feels. Simply perceive whatever is here without any judgement. Observe the thoughts, notice the breath and feel the body. Open to the completeness that is already here. Accept this moment fully, exactly as it is without trying to change anything about it. Maybe that means feeling sadness or heaviness or anger. That's ok. Feel deeper and deeper into the sensations in the body and gently welcome whatever is here. This moment is not a mistake. This moment is perfection. It is only the belief that this moment is flawed that prevents us from experiencing the perfection that is here. When we release ourselves from the grasp of that belief by recognising it, and we have the willingness to embrace our experience fully, we naturally open to the completeness that is already here. ~ Louise

If thoughts are not ours, why do we have them? Roman

Although thoughts are ours, originating within ourselves, we can never be certain why these thoughts are forming.

Is it an unconscious delusional belief, or an irrational fear driving them?

I have learned that just because I have a thought or emotion, doesn’t mean it’s right.

I have found that mindfulness..... to always think about what you’re thinking about, especially if it disturbs you...... is key.

God through Louise is guiding us gently with the power of divine love through purgatory. The purging of all that is not true and causes suffering. The movement from hell to heaven. Our true Self awakening Itself to Itself in us. That also we have the peace and joy of God.

How fortunate we are for being Who we are. For Who it is given us to really Be thank God. And to have Who we really are be willing to appear also in the appearance of Louise, to hear our Self speak through her to Itself in us.

I'm getting the words: "Presence transcends." I'm new to her work though I appreciate how present Louise is when she speaks, even if the content is simple.

The mind is quite compulsive in seeking what it believes will lead to completion. So often (perhaps always?) it does not see all that is already here, so no wonder there's a belief in a need to find something else. It may be a matter of persistent partial perception?

Yes it is my experience, the more I resist to what is right now, may it be a feeling or any situation, suffering increases. sometimes a lot of courage is needed to fully accept what the present moment brings forth. But I donˋt know how to handle informations that we receive these days about the immense suffering of thousands of people because of an earthquake.

I also experience much concern for the suffering of so many people in this world.
So I spread around information that the main stream media keep hidden from the public. While in between sit and pray for God's awakening in increasingly more of us.

Jimmy Dore knows that God is our Self, yet also goes around in an effort to stop the suffering:

I've posted information like this all over the place, so people stop supporting lhe proxy war the US is waging in Ukraine:

My current prayer, that it may resonate through the collective unconscious:

Thank You infinitely good God,
that in order that also I may enjoy having Your Self,
You have given up Your infinitely great enjoyment of Your Divinity,
experiencing being but me the human,
compared to Your infinitely great happiness the crucifixion in hell,
and compared to Your glorious Self, being like a worm and a dog,
so that it is You Who are now experiencing this out of pure Charity, even of having this imperfect illusory human 'I', 'me', 'myself', and 'mine', while still being Who You Are; my True Self.

How intimate God is to us. God is experiencing everything we experience, as each one of us:

"He who confesses his sins, and accuses them, now does the work with God. God accuses your sins; and if you also accuse, you are united to God.”
~St. Augustine Tractate 12 (John 3:6-21) paragraph 13.

"Those who are already spiritual, and those who are still carnal have You made;" for so the Son Himself says, "Your Eyes have seen My imperfect being. That which is imperfect in My body, Your eyes have seen."
~St. Augustine, Sermon 85 § 6.

“This is the work in which we may be doing the works of Christ, for even our very believing in Christ is the work of Christ. It is this He works in us, not certainly without us.”
~St. Augustine, Homilies on John, Tractate 71 (John 14:10-14)

"I will restore you to yourself, when I shall have restored you unto Me."
~St. Augustine, Sermon 73 on the New Testament
https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/160373.htm

"He rightly returns to himself, because he departed from himself. For he who returns to God restores himself to himself, and he who departs from Christ rejects himself from himself."
~St. Ambrose, Catena Aurea, Luke 15:17

"Blessed be God, for so bountifully providing for us that He even bestows on us His very Self."
~St. John of Avila, Finding Confidence in Times of Trial: Letters of St. John of Avila (p. 139). Sophia Institute Press. Kindle Edition.

"Father God,.
I would like to realize that the divine Self you gave me as my real Identity freed me from the illusions of human imperfection, and equally see the divine Self in my neighbors.
Let my true Self utilize my mind and body but to share Your peace and happiness with my divine equals who appear in this world as imperfect humans, while really being God thanks to You.
That You and Your Son also have Your divine life, peace and joy in us, I ask You for the Holy Spirit in the Self-awareness of Your Son, remembering: 'Peace to my mind. Be still and know that I Am God'."
