Beginnings

 
It's Time
Time to take a JOURNEY of Self discovery

Time to go back to the BEGINNING to find out more about this MARVELOUS creation of
BODY   MIND  &  SPIRIT  

-------------------------------------------------


Beginnings      

So where do we start our journey. All cultures have folktales. Stories around the fire given by the wise ones to give meaning, purpose and advice to help others on their life journey. The images behind many of these folk stories are lost. 

So let us write our own story.
In this story “Great Mystery” is the source of the mystery of existence. As in the ancient tradition just let the story wash over you, it is a story to awaken the heart. 

Let me just go back to before you came here.
Just imagine for one moment that you are in the higher realms as part of Great Mystery and you make a choice. And you choose to have an experience here on earth plane.
Imagine that, so you make that choice. Your light softens and begins to fall away, you seem to become aware that others have also made this choice. But that is their story.  You decide you are going to experience in separation  a lifetime here on earth plane in a certain culture, in a certain environment, with certain parents and so on. But you find you cannot fully diminish your light and you see that part of you will remain as the watcher. You imagine taking a blank sheet of paper with you and then you become earth bound and you become in separation. This becomes your journey.

​So begins this journey with a blank sheet of paper. Now as you grow you fill in the details by making choices and by being given opportunities. You have all sorts of influences as you grow up with your parents, your siblings, your friends and so on until you reach adulthood. By now this blank sheet of paper has become filled with a myriad of experiences and choices, thousands of them, millions of them. They are shaping your life here on earth plane.

At any point of this journey you may be given opportunities. And you can choose which to take. You are under no obligation to take any of them. There is no judgement just opportunities for experience. So choosing these opportunities and taking those which you feel would serve you best, or not serve you best, and that's what maps out your journey here on that blank sheet of paper. 
Of course it is no longer blank. So where are we now?

We get to a point to see an awareness of who you are. Now very few people here in separation will do that. Perhaps you have chosen to do this, and found your way to this story.. There are many people of your planet who are on this path. Now these journeys that many take are so significant in the growth of your planet, of your universe. It is all experience for Great Mystery.

So Great Mystery, if you like, has given out all these millions of pieces of blank paper and is enjoying watching them being filled in.
​
That is just the story of course, but you may see where we are going. The watcher is always part of that blank piece of paper the whole time. Great Mystery is part of your experience. Well that is the story simply to illustrate to you how the watcher is part of you. It is you, but it is the part of you that is hidden while you begin your journey. But gradually it will become clearer who you are and reconnect again.

Path Light Wisdom - is just that;  wisdom for the path.

Beginnings        It began with a Thought        Amazing Mind        Foundations
It all began with a thought
 

  In the beginning was the thought
And the thought was energy
And the energy was creation


The common phrase is, "In the beginning was the Word", but as we seek our self discovery we are very aware that thought precedes word, - well in most people. Thought is energy, it creates. This is something we do not consider in any depth mainly because the result is not usually instantaneous. Fortunately there is an inbuilt modifier that averages out these thoughts we have. This underlying control is our primary thought.  Its purpose is to govern the outcomes. It subsists in our subconscious mind so it is not easily changed.  Just think of the damage it would do if every thought happened!   We underestimate the power of our thought.  

Our thoughts create our reality. The great purpose in life is to be able to shift our direction by changing our thoughts. 


'And where do we go from here'. It begs the question of our thoughts creating our reality. If this is so, how much influence do we have in creating the world around us. And how much influence do we have in bringing positive, happy, joyful thoughts into the community that we inhabit so it can create a better place to live.

​It falls back on the choice we make for ourselves  and this falls back on our amazing MIND





​"The great purpose in life is to be able to shift our direction by changing our thoughts."

Our Amazing Mind
The mind is our thought tool
Our mind is amazing. It is constantly creating the thoughts that form our reality.  Not only do these thoughts come from our mind, they come from our spirit and body as well.
The mind is the tool, and it is so powerful that it is producing all of these things that are part of our life.

It is not really relevant whether it is a negative or positive thought but as it is creative, then we want to produce the best possible outcome for ourself and creation

Unfortunately we can feel powerless. But these thoughts are creating our part of the universe all the time, every second. Every thought we have is an energy of creation. Many of the thoughts we think we are not even aware of! We may or may not believe this, it doesn't matter, it happens anyway!
​
There is another mechanism that is part of our mind and that is often called the gate keeper.  The gate keeper has a special function and that is to allow only the thoughts that fit into our ‘story’ to pass into our consciousness. 
To some extent we can allow new thoughts to arise. This can be called being open minded. Even so the thoughts will still be restricted so they do not up-end our story.

If we can accept this or even part of it we give ourselves power to make changes, So why not think of ourself as a power-house of creative love. Thoughts come from deep within us and are shaped by how we see ourselves and how we respond to our world. This is our attitude, so it governs the way we think. It it is a circle but it can be a spiral to better things.  In other words we can change the way we think, change the world.


Our thoughts are creating our reality even now!

Old Stories shape our Attitude

It is time to change



​In other words we can change the way we think, we change the world.

Choice - The amazing gift of free choice
Choices
"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:"  
Ode, Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood, William Wordsworth.


We have forgotten who we are, but all is not lost. We can begin a self discovery journey which could be quite exciting.

It is impossible for us to fully understand the purpose of the choices we made before entering separation. Also because others also make their pre-separation choices there are bumps and distractions along the way. Then there are the many variations that make us all so different. No physical body is perfect. No parent is perfect. No culture or up-bringing is perfect. Somehow in all this is the purpose we have chosen. A bit of a challenge but the good news is we have freedom of choice!

By now our blank sheet of paper is very full.  It is shaping our attitudes and definitely the way we see ourselves and the world around.  To stop ourselves from falling to bits, the myriad thoughts and ideas that pass through our mind keep our story consistent. Think about what life might be like if we never knew from moment to moment who we were!

So let's sort out this myriad of thoughts. We are only aware of some of them. We have an in-built filter that allows thoughts that support our story to come into our conscious mind. These are then arranged into a story of our identity which is built up from the many experiences that we have. So our blank sheet of paper is filling up and creating the way we stand in life - our attitude.
