The posts on this blog are designed not to give you everything, but to spark a line of inquiry into you that will propel you to search for the truth about life.
Or have you carved out original thoughts and dwelled on it with knowledge and faith based on an understanding of your inherent power?
Begin to hold yourself responsible because you are actually responsible
Responsible for the shape your world takes.
You are not powerless in this world and have only been thought to think so. From today, do away with the victim mentality and wake up to the realization that you are a co-creator on this magnificent plane of existence.
Everything on the outside world fluctuates and changes but there is something within the depths of your being that never changes and that’s your awareness of BEING. That quality that knows itself to be “I AM”
I AM
I AM
I AM
CONGRATULATIONS to you and cheers to your magnificent creation.
In life, two things are constant. The first thing is that pigs will never fly and the second thing is inner conversations.
There are many names for inner conversations. Some call it mind chatter, others call it self talk but you get the gist.
Inner conversations are the conversations that go on within ourselves as the word inner betrays and it is unfortunate that most of us are clueless about these conversational patterns.
Self-talk is the way you talk to yourself, or your inner voice. You might not be aware that you’re doing it, but you almost certainly are. This inner voice combines conscious thoughts with inbuilt beliefs and biases to create an internal monologue throughout the day.
All day long, we carry out conversations within ourselves without being aware of it therefore this post is a wake-up call.
Since this is a short post, I am calling your attention to the voice in your head!
Today, try to take notice and become aware, try dey listen, and try dey observe my dear.
Upon close observation, you will realize that your self-talk like most people’s is repetitive and very patterned.
Patterned after what you know yourself to be. Nothing but inner conversation separates the king from a slave and the Pius person from the thief.
You see, you will repeat patterns of thoughts that are in line with who you know yourself to be therefore the first step to any lasting change is a change in inner conversations which would, in turn, change your self-image.
The assignment, for now, is to become aware of the voice and try to listen in on some of the conversations that are going on in your head. When you get used to listening and observing, then you can work on changing these repetitive patterns and installing a new desired pattern of mental conversation.
The goal is to be aware at all times of what kind of chatter you are engaging in because this chatter always finds a way to manifest in the world. For now, become aware and observe what you have been creating.
Many still think that we are dealing with two polarizing forces at once; that to attract good, we must eliminate the bad.
I.e they believe in the power of God and at the same time, the potency in the power of the devil. Thereby throwing away in the same breath the fact that God is omnipotent.
This notion is flawed and false and I will prove that to you in this post if only you will keep an open mind.
Consider this analogy. If we are cold, we do not work with the cold and heat alike to get warm. Or do we?
Nooooooo
Common sense tells us that all we have to do is build a fire. So basically, we work only with the heat.
As we gather ourselves around that fire, we automatically begin to enjoy the heat extended from it and become warm.
We become warm and the cold of its own accord disappears.
As we focus on, contemplate and resonate with the ideas we are seeking to manifest, there is a generative magnetic frequency that goes out into the universe.
Essentially, you are broadcasting a frequency and this frequency will attract to itself what it is like. Like attracts like.
You do not need to fight conditions or complain about them. Simply change the frequency and you change the conditions. Conditions are but effects and cause come before the effect. The cause is the current frequency.
If your predominant mental attitude is one of deep gratitude, constant joy, grateful expectation and zero attention given to fear, worry and anxiety, you would begin to attract happy and joyful circumstances into your life, that would correlate with your inner state of consciousness.
When good things then begin to happen to you as a result of either a conscious or unconscious change in mental attitude, the general public would start to say God did it! Jesus did it! Allah don run am! Buddha don finish work! All praise to shango for he reigns supreme 😂
We are quick to forget or are all together ignorant of the basic fact that there is a universal principle at work here that cuts across all these gods or religions. What is this principle? It is the the law that thought is creative and any metal picture held for sometime, would seek to objectify in conditions and circumstances.
Thoughts are therefore cause and conditions and circumstances that we would meet with in life, are the effects. This is simple to understand when we come to the realization that since any thought is creative at all, all thought must be creative.
A slightly deeper analysis would reveal a great truth to us.
What is this great truth? It is that since we have the power to consciously choose the thoughts that we hold in our minds at every point in time, we have readily at our disposal, the tool and power to change any unwanted condition and environment.
This sage quote “as a man thinks so he is” therefore bears the mark of scientific exactitude!
In conclusion, my small advice for you is that from today, spend less time in aggressive prayers aimed at killing any demons of your father’s house.
The only demons you need to conquer are the demons of unguarded negative thoughts going into your subconscious mind.
Instead, do more of observation. Watch the thoughts as they come and go. Do not fight anything. Simply choose what thoughts you will entertain using the things you want to experience in your life as a yardstick.
This would be difficult at first but understand that knowledge without practical application is dead and it is only through constant practice that an athlete will become strong. So practice practice practice!
Now that we know and understand fully well that there is a spiritual plastic receptivity that is evenly distributed in all places and at all times ever waiting and ready to receive the impress of our thoughts, and swiftly go about it’s externalization, it is therefore very important to to begin to watch our thought processes and patterns.
The reason it is very important to watch theses thoughts processes and patterns, is that it is our predominant mental attitude that has been shaping, and will continue to shape our reality.
I want you to come to the urgent realization that at this very moment in time, there is a central conception that you have of yourself and all the facts of your life are arranged in accordance to that central conception.
So the question for you is what is the central conception that you have of yourself? The answer to this question should explain better to you why you are were you are, why you have the kind of people that you have around you and your very place in life. It cuts across all things i kid you not!
Your thoughts are actual spiritual things and the spiritual controls the physical. When you come to this realization, it is logical that you should begin to take special care of the thoughts that you let into your mind.
Knowledge is useless without a practical application. This knowledge can do nothing for you until you start to practically apply it to your life. There is no way around this. The way to move, is to start to monitor your thought processes and patterns everyday, all day. There are no off days.
Now it is understandable that this would prove to be a very difficult task to execute since this is a new way of thinking.
So my advice to you is to Just try to concentrate and take note of all your thoughts for five minutes… Notice how many stray thoughts tried to get hold of your attention? Now you know the kind of work you have to do.
There are no two ways about this. Cause will always be equal to effect and action and reaction will forever be equal and in opposite directions. Your thoughts are the cause and the effect is whatever you can see in your life.
You are constantly in the process of creating and recreating your reality. Everything on the screen of your life is a mirror representation of the inner state of your consciousnesses.
In this period of devastating uncertainty, the best thing you can do is to shut yourself out and go back within and you will find all the answers there.
In conclusion, this is still a way to introduce the kind of messages I’ll be sharing henceforth and there is no point in rushing. If as a result of this post, I’ve made five people more aware of their thought processes and patterns then I’m completely fulfilled for now.
