How much easier would my life have been if I always took the time to stop and think before I took action or spoke?  

What if I could have found the answers in Spirit rather than in my perceptions? 

How often have I pushed ahead trying to impose my will on a situation? 

How often have I been convinced I knew best when I really hadn’t stopped to examine things from a higher perspective?

One thing I know for certain is that my mind can either be a wonderful asset or my biggest liability depending on whether I’m thinking with my heart/Higher Holy Spirit Self or with the ego.  Over-thinking and getting into the analytical mind can often be a form of self-sabotage.  Don’t I know it!

I can think my way into a disconnect from my heart, or I can use my mind that’s in the heart to connect into the Presence of Love.  My heart intelligence brings a profound connection with Spirit.

Sometimes I’ve been so distracted by becoming analytical that I’m thinking about my thinking without getting into my Heart/Spirit connection.

What I’ve found is that connecting to the heart is the way to tap into Divine Intelligence and Wisdom that is profoundly helpful. When I’m tuned into Divine Intelligence I move well beyond my ability to simply process information and into the flow – the true Freedom of the Spirit.  A key is to intend to be tuned in all of the time.  

The more we stay tuned in, the more we find the answers to even the most difficult questions.

Eric Butterworth says, “In the face of delays and obstacles it is well to think twice before you willfully seek to force a solution according to your predetermined plan. The closed door may indicate that the divine law of adjustment is pointing to another door through which you can go to meet your greater good.

That’s such great advice!

Today let’s examine our lives for any areas where we might be trying to impose our will through over-thinking and analyzing from an ego perspective. Today let’s allow ourselves to invite higher insight to be heard through connecting with the Divine Wisdom of the Higher Holy Spirit Self. 

In this way, thinking takes on a new level of consciousness and awareness.

In this, we can feel a deep and profound connection to all of life and be grateful.   Our personal practice of nonviolence moves the world in a direction of Peace with ever-increasing ease and grace.  Wonderful!

Unforgiveness and judgment keeps us playing small, living in lack and limitation.  If you’re willing to make a leap, my Stop Playing Small online retreat is on a super early bird special right now, check it out before the price goes up.

LATEST PODCAST EPISODE!  The most recent episode of my podcast’s topic is Having Neutral Thoughts. ACIM tells us that we’ve given everything in this world all the meaning that it has for us and that in order to align with the divine we must surrender the attachment to that meaning and recognize that everything is actually neutral. This can be super challenging, and it is extremely fruitful.
