DISCERNMENT OF THOUGHTS
And All This… To “Become Clear”. To “Live, Speak, & Honour My Truth”. To “KNOW & Live By my Priorities & Values” is – for me – beautiful and good intentions. Though as well it is – an expression that continuously revisits me– “Easier said than done”. And it requires Dedication & Commitment in the manifestation & actualization of, in, and through physical action.
How to “Become Clear”? How to “Know”? In my experience, only experience can teach me.
Stemming from a will of “wanting something else” derives an intention which directs my attention.
Wanting to “figure things out” sets me on the path, and the work becomes a process through life.
What serves me and what does not? The question is a beginning but merely words are not enough.
Because what might have served or seemed to work for a period or moment in time suddenly does not. And a choice or an action might feel good in the moment, but does it serve, transfer into, and align with the next?
And so and as such, from experience untouched may I understand what was and know what is.
Feeling… Listening… Allowing… Accepting…
Discernment of Thought: Defined by google as: “The ability to judge well” –> “Taste, sense, discrimination & discriminate” –> “Refinement, cultivation, and deep contemplation.”
In religious or spiritual contexts it is the: “Perception in the absence of judgement with a view to obtaining spiritual and higher guidance and understanding”.
Discernment for ME – as I connect to and understand it in this moment, based on my current person, process, experience, and level of consciousness – is the ABILITY to distinguish between what serves “The greater good of the all” – “The Totality of what I am” and what does not.
What (Thoughts, Attitudes, Actions, Behaviours, Values, Beliefs, etc.) benefits my overall health, wealth, vitality, and strength? And with that, My Potential to be Alive & Prosperous, Share & Create.
And as such I am LEARNING to live in Accordance with what benefits my life’s purpose and chosen path and recognize what does not.
Releasing patterns, attitudes, beliefs, behaviours, thoughts and ways of thinking which doesn’t serve me nor this world. Thus by default, nor the divine field of Spirit and God.
And again. NOT by FIGHTING the old or what no longer serve me but by being honest and recognizing what does NOT benefits and aids me NOW and “SIMPLY” NOT Give it strength by not FEEDING IT.
Ceasing in “paying any (more) attention to it” – Which happens by default when I place and pay attention to what DOES serve me – NOW – aligned with my current intention. What I am grateful for & What I want.
As I continuously and consistently focus on red, suddenly at a moment I forget about blue. And it fades into pale and transforms into grey . Something that was so strong, urgent, pressing, and convincing, suddenly is no more.
Like a furious storm which by its violent force seems to be able and determined to be raging on forever. And then at a point the outlet has been reached. Emotions released and calmness arise. The sun revives and the symphony of birds arrives.
Honouring what was by letting it go when its time has passed. In the releasing allowing for the wind to sweep away what has been while its brother in the east may bring the new.
“Does this serve me and my life?” Or “HOW does this serve?”
In order to be in peace and harmony with myself and the world. To BE Free to “BE” “Myself”. The current version of myself and the privilege to discover what that is.
To live a life of integrity and authentic expression. With beneficial, constructive, and creative thoughts. With a loving mind and open heart. A playful Being with a Mind that is set.
To be happy and content. To be present and appreciate.
And with and from there being ABLE to multiply, share, and radiate THAT with the World.
Again and again I remind myself…
PRACTICE
And so “Discernment of Thought” becomes and is a Practice of Skill. Which develops into an Ability and Beneficial Habit. Grown and cultivated by Deliberate Intention to live and be and honour my life.
It begins with intention, grows with continuous attention, and manifests through consistent action. By and through living and being.
LISTENING
To cultivate this ability and habit of attuning to this “inner knowing” and “higher intelligence” comes also the Practice of Listening.
Of learning to listen from a deeper space within myself. A New Way and Manner of Listening. Which is not based on superficial impulses, urgent demands, and immediate desires. Which lies beyond preconceived ideas, beliefs, and current “personal preferences”. Attuning to a communication which is beyond persuasion, manipulation, and personal interests.
Transcending the frequency of good and bad and the inclination of agreeing or disagreeing and entering a realm of feeling and knowing.
And so in SILENCE I Listen in order to RECEIVE – The Voice & Guidance of the Previously Unknown.
Void of Personal Preferences. Having accepted that I do not know. I am Open & Available to Receive Something New.
Void of Pride & the “Need to be Right” – By Free Will I Chose to KNOW. Welcoming the Word whatever the current message may be.
And so throughout the day as I Welcome Experience I Feel. With Curiosity Being Curious about what each Encounter with Life may Contain.
In my experience, through encounters and in events, divine intelligence express and speak. In each situation a “hidden” message dwell inside. A golden treasure in each moment to be found.
Everywhere and all the time. Often through subtle whispers and gentle clues. And sometimes when I have gone too far or when the stakes are HIGH, in a Loud & Clear Voice.
“It may be something that I see or some thing that happens to me. It may be the words from a stranger or the sharing with a friend. Suddenly in a moment something seems so real. The flight of a bird or the thunder in the sky. The cry of a child or the tumult in the street.
Attentive throughout the day, of what may catch my eye, of what may pull my sleeve, of what attracts my ear. A tickle in my bones. A nudge which gently shows.
Aware of where attention in the moment is being drawn. When something seems so special and pops out from the crowd. Without apparent logic. It may be because it is.
Being careful not exaggerating and creating what is not. Though when something at me pulling it’s not by random freight. Hidden is a message beyond discerning thought.”
And as preconceived ideas are washed away and how I used to view the world are being disproven and dissolved the mind is OPENING to SEE.
Reality is expanding and what wasn’t even thought of suddenly is HERE. And the more I see the more I let go and the more I become open – by effect – to the new.
