The Promise

There is only the I AM Presence in all of creation, there is only that. There are many ways in which to contact the I AM Presence. Possibly the easiest way is to control your thoughts. If you do not control your thoughts, your emotions will run away with prize and leave you shattered on the ground wondering what on earth happened. This reminds me of a song by the Bee Gees called Emotion-

In the words of a broken heart It’s just emotion that’s taking me over Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul And if you don’t come back Come home to me, darling You know that there’ll be Nobody left in this world to hold me tight Nobody left in this world to kiss good night Good night, good night, good night Good night

Now this is obviously not the truth but you get the drift of the things it describes. This is a really important point and it goes to the warring in the members of which you are aware. Perhaps you are not so aware of the protagonists, namely the thoughts and the emotions. How could this be you think. It is very easy as the thoughts backed with emotion is how you create any thing.

This may be new to you, so let us slow down a bit. You have a thought, it arises in your consciousness. What do you do with it? Do you ignore it and hope it goes away – because it will not, your emotions fill it and then you find things coming into your life that are not that pleasing, like flies and bugs of one sort or another. This is the sort of thing that happens with those things you do not give a lot of attention to.

If you dwell on the thought, let it roll around the head and while you are doing that your emotions are fueling the thought and as you stop thinking about it, they, the thought en-filled with the emotion go out into the world of form and bring into your form what you were thinking of. Then suddenly your friend calls and you say I was just thinking of you.

True, you were. Those sort of things are fine since they reinforce the fact that you are creating but are you paying attention? More than likely – not too much. You go home from work after what you call in your mind, a hard day at work. Why was it hard? Perhaps that run-in you had with boss did not go so well and if you had stopped to take a deep breath, you know you could have done better.

Instead, you let that hurt revolve in your mind for hours and your emotions added fuel to the fire because unless you control them that is what they do – they fill the thoughts in your mind. No wonder it seemed like a hard day – what with your emotions churning your stomach and your mind whirling about, it is a wonder that you got home. Now do you see the connection? If you can slow down your thoughts and control them to only let them do what you want them to do, your life would slowly start to slow down.

It really is that critical. Either you control your thoughts or they control you and you control your emotions or they run away with your life. You may think this is an exaggeration. Look around at the world. You are only one person and all you can work with is yourself BUT If you do the work, gradually your whole world will come into harmony and peace. It will not happen in a day but then if you do not start to control your thoughts and emotions, your world will get harder and harder for you.

The promise is if you hold your mental body and your emotional body in check, you will reap the rewards. If you do not keep them in check, they will take over your life and run it into ruin because as they are, they have no real need of you as long as they keep you fooled that you are in charge. That way they can keep taking your energy and use to create what they want.
