Blog Entry 10 of 22 The World is in the Eye of the Beholder

Through the Window of Mind Syntropy: A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean", she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap!" Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Everytime her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments. About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?" The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows." And so it is with life. What we see when watching others, depends on the purity of the window through which we look. At 18mind.com, our motto is "The World is in the Eye of the Beholder!" Thus, it is very important that the "windows to our world" are as clean and clear as possible. The Mind Syntropy Program and the 4 Steps to Freedom that we offer at 18mind.com will "clean these windows." By noticing and neutralizing all negative, feelings, emotions and thoughts, the blocks to the Truth, and Beauty of our world are removed. This makes our Reality

"As We Thinketh" - ARE WE OUR THOUGHTS??

From "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen
1. Thought and Character
The aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man's being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

It is a common idea that we are our thoughts. That is, what we do, how we behave, & what is produced in our world, is what we think about. This is the major premise behind the 'Law of Attraction,' and the recent movie-book, "The Secret." However, this idea can be traced to the Bible, and even to ancient times!

But, is this accurate? Are we what we think about? If so, where do the thoughts come from?
Can our brains think for themselves? Or do thoughts arise from an ephemeral, invisible source, that is frequently called "inspiration"- Spirit - Soul - Consciousness - God?

Or are we not our thoughts? Given that we can point to, and describe our thoughts, doesn't that suggest that we are not just our thoughts? We must be more than our thoughts if we can recognize them, point them out, discuss them with ourselves and others! If so, what is the entity that can identify our thoughts, as well as be our thoughts?

That must be us! But who are we? What are we? AND, WHO WANTS TO KNOW????

"I" think if we find out who wants to know, we will find out who we are!

What do "you" think? Leave a comment!

That which allows you to be aware of your own existence is.....

David Hawkins, M.D. PhD:
"Radical Subjectivity, then, is the very essence of experiencing the Presence of God as that which says I. That which allows you to be aware of your own existence is at all times present, never absent. It's the first thing you become aware of when you wake up in the morning. The first thing that happens before thinkingness even starts, is the awareness of existence. There is an awareness as you wake up that one exists. You don't even have a name yet. If I catch you the very first instance you open your eyes I say, what's your name, you say gimme a second while I wake up, give me a second, are you a man or woman, go ahead, give me a second, while I wake up, are you American or European, what are you? Give me a second to wake up. So, Consciousness if there before even content. Consciousness awakens, then, with the awareness of existence. That which allows you to say I is presumed as you wake up to be the personal I, because reality seems to have to do with form, and facts, and, physicality. One presumes that knowing that I am, that I exist, being aware, the sense of I is coming from a personal I, and that's the only illusion we have to jump. The sense of I is not coming from a personal I at all, it is coming from an impersonal I. Consciousness is an impersonal quality. That Consciousness which arises as you awaken is not personal at all, you have it focused on the personal, but it's essence is not personal. It is because of the Infinite I, that which is not different than Divinity, Reality, Truth, all the things its been called throughout the ages. It illuminates the awareness that shines forth as the awareness of your own existence, but its source is the Infinite I. Is that clear? (Doc laughs). That which knows that you're here this second is not the personal I, because, if we oblate the personal I, you will still be aware that, (pause), ones quality is that of existence." --
