MENTAL ASSENT

As a man thinketh. What and how we think out pictures in our lives. To think that we can entertain certain thoughts; ones we wouldn’t say aloud, and not have them influence us is not only foolish but spiritually deadly. What we think on becomes part of the mix. Thoughts of vengeance, assenting to anyone’s suffering, reveling in schadenfreude all mark us. To be clear: This is not about casting a value judgment on criminal, destructive or harmful actions or behavior, only that we can not fool ourselves about the effect these thoughts carry with them. What we think on becomes part of the mix. Whatever ingredient we place in the mixing bowl will be in the finished cake. The lesson is to be aware of what we are thinking and saying, what we invite into our consciousness. No one does this perfectly, the key to freedom is awareness, so Living on the Spiritual Basis we cannot fool ourselves about the cost these thoughts carry with them and to never compare our insides to others outsides. Those who appear to get away with negative thinking and actions don’t. The mills of the God’s grind slowly but ever so fine. We all reap as we sow. To be free, we can no longer keep score for the world.
