Quality Thinking
We have heard so much about the quality of our thinking and how much of an impact that it has on the quality of our life. We know about positive and negative thinking but how do we catch the quality of our thinking while in action.
Opinionated thinking is not good quality thinking as it has a fixed based. It is positional thinking which is ego based.
Limited thinking is connected to the influence and indulgence of our senses, with limited experiences. It has a deep connection with the way we relate to our body.
Good quality thinking is very fluid energy, very flexible and detached. It offers an insight into a situation without being opinionated or critical.
Check: What is the quality of my thinking?
Om Shanti
Perspectives
In every scene we face in life, we take a standpoint, a perspective. We may not always be aware of it but what and how we see things will be coloured by that perspective. It may be the influence of the role I am playing, my relationships, or my desire for a particular outcome.
When we stop challenging our perception it stops us from being able to offer something new to a situation.
We forget our own impact on a situation.
We need to examine the basis of our perspective so that we can be objective, and offer a detached insight or a solution to a situation. The moment I change – my perception, my attitude – that is the most powerful shifts in a situation.
Sit in a space of peace allowing the mind and body to relax and allow the peace inside to quietly emerge and offer a new perspective .
Om Shanti
I Believe
Our intentions stem from our belief about who we are, where we are and why we are here.
If we believe we are physical and mortal beings, we will believe we are here to survive as long as possible. This creates a competitive mindset. It will drive us to get what we think we need before others, leading to competition and perhaps even the fear of not getting.
If we know we are souls – immortal and imperishable energy – then survival is no longer an issue and our intentions expand to include, connect with and enlighten others. Action will embrace the ability to help others and will be fully free from fear.
How do I live my life. Who do I believe I am?
Om Shanti
Is that Knowledge or Wisdom?
We live in an information society. Whatever information is needed can be obtained with the press of a button.
With all this information we are able to gain so much knowledge on almost any subject. Information or knowledge is seen as a sign of power. One who knows is a master and can thus lead and control – direct and even mis-direct.
But when does knowledge become wisdom?
When we contemplate knowledge, then apply and integrate it in our lives: our awareness, attitude and actions. When it is used in relation to the wider truths of life, it is then that it becomes wisdom. Knowledge on its own may be useful and give temporary gain, but it is only wisdom that transforms knowledge into power – spiritual power
Wisdom is the power of experience that gives internal stability. It is the deepest ‘knowing’, based on experience, which then allows one to be internally free.
Am I wise?
Om Shanti
