The Practice of Ascention
Saturday, March 29 from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
We have in our possession the most incredible machine in the Universe, capable of experiencing any reality, competent to discover any truth, equipped to accomplish any desire. What is typically being done with this magnificent machine? The standard mode of operation is to switch between mutually contradictory thoughts and desires dozens of times every minute! If the mind was a radio receiver, it would be as if it were being switched between channels every second or so -- it would make for a noisy, unpleasant reception, hard to follow. It would, in fact, be so hard to follow that you would feel exhausted after trying to listen to it for few hours; you would be forced to turn it off and just listen to nothing at all for a time.
This is the experience of the majority of individuals on this planet. As research has shown, the body experiences everything that the mind thinks. If the mind reviews a traumatic experience from five years ago, the body experiences it all over again. Research has proven the body cannot tell the difference between the thought and the event. The same hormones, same nervous reactions occur from the event or the thought.
The quality of our thoughts is directly responsible for the state of our well-being, our progress and our longevity. Change the mind and the effects will change. It is interesting to note that another meaning of John the Baptist’s word, "repent" in the Greek was "change your mind." If you desire a glorious future, transform the present. There is actually no other choice. What control we have over our environment is strictly limited. But we do have complete control over how we use our own minds.
Trying to hold back thoughts is not a valid option. These events have left an impression on the nervous system. With the connection between the mind and body, these thoughts may continue until fully healed from the nervous system.
The alternative is to Ascend to the Source of all thoughts. By touching the Source, the energy contained in the Source automatically moves to purify the nervous system. Said another way, the perfect orderliness contained in the Absolute disallows the continuance of any disorder: the deep stresses of stored impressions dissolve; the inherent, self-destructive tendencies automatically fall away; action spontaneously changes to be in harmony with Natural Law.
