The Mind Miracle
1. Consider emotions, don’t make emotions the determining factor of a decision. Look at what emotions have done. They almost destroyed my life. Of course it isn’t smart to make a decision solely on them.
2. Identify the different views of the mountain when looking at a feeling. This is covered under the headings, “The View of the Mountain,” and “Types of Thought.” This is a very important concept, part of the package of ideas that allowed me to overcome the emotional scars. I feel invigorated when I think about this concept.
3. Identify what influences your thought. View the sky inside your mind. Make sure you know why you think what you think, and feel what you feel.
4. Remain diligent. I’m not saying be paranoid about thoughts, rather try to keep an open mind and always consider other views. To be fixed on one way of thinking is a sure sign that you may have to re-evaluate your position, both in terms of thoughts, and issues in the outer world.
5. Distrust assumptions. Remove the clothes from the king. An assumption can be a road block. Assuming things will be a certain way and not examining to find out the actual facts is always a danger. Make sure you know why you believe what you believe.
6. Nothing within can harm you, unless you let it. Analyze condemnation and find its source. Never condemn yourself for a thought. Gain power over thoughts by examining them and finding out why they exist. I freed myself from thoughts by loving them.
7. You can not free yourself from a thought by avoiding it. Just like in #6, don’t avoid thoughts, examine them.
8. Use anger like a tool. Don’t let anger use you. Anger is like fire. Use anger to your advantage. Don’t burn the house down. Be smart with anger. The proper use of anger was one of the concepts that helped save my life. Don’t forget what was written about anger under the heading, “The Metal Weight.” Without anger, I couldn’t have gotten far.
9. Keep the light burning and believe in yourself. Remember that self improvement pleases God. Find meaning in your thoughts, because meaning is there.
Installing Love
TechSupport: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer Disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off?
Customer: I don't Know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased. I loved this!
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error - Program not running on internal components." What should I do?
Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?
Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.
Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before We hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.
Customer: Thank you, God.
