The mind is weak but the body is willing?

We want to talk about thinking. Thoughts. They start where the body ends. So is it, that they are two separate things? "A healthy mind dwells in a healthy body?" Do they belong together? Who restricts whom? Who controls the other? That leads us to an entirely different question, that is related. How do you define yourself? You, as a conscious being? What are you? Mind or body? Both of course, you say.

Our life structure is just an idea?

And as for the restriction ... clearly the physical abilities, just like physics, restrict the mind with the body. And so we are firmly anchored in life. A life in a described structure. But ... let's take a closer look at the structure of this solid anchorage. It is nothing more than an idea. Your thought. How did you get this structure? Does it even exist?

Is the ego structure fleeting?

Consistency would be essential for a good construction. You are constant. Yes. In the perspective of your structure. But this structure is changing all the time, there is nothing, you can find, that is in any way of real durability. Nothing to rely on. You can feel it yourself, when you look at the structure. And, that is what makes this quiet discomfort. Because, how can a trustworthy meaning lie in something, that is constantly changing?

Knowing about impermanence?

Well, you are basically not looking at this structure, you are living it. Because, that is the life picture of your ego. You accept it, the decay of your body, the transience around you, the suffering, the war, the disease, the helplessness, the hunger, the epidemics. Try to keep your body out of there. As long as possible. But you know about birth, life and death. Such an obvious fate. Who would want to doubt it?

God is playing a cruel game?

So. Doubt! Doubt! How can the divine mind lie in such a cruel, so unalterable sequence? How to stand behind this perfidious game like a loving creator? People's thoughts invented it and made it a reality. You have turned your thoughts away from your loving father, have entered this terrible nightmare of your own free will. And free will was given to you, as an indispensable, divine premise.

Live in constant decline?

Well, free will means freedom of choice; you can choose between reality and appearance. Between truth and illusion. Between dream and awakening. You can choose between the thought system of hate and discord and, that of ever-expanding love. You can continue to operate in this structure of constant decline, or you can see it as completely insane and look to the truth, that will inevitably reveal itself to you. Because time doesn't exist. And what you think, you are experiencing, is not the loving creation's plan for you.

Loving thoughts dissolve the ego structures?

But what is the key to this reality, this truth, created out of creativity? Very easy. It is the loving thoughts, that are in complete contradiction to the doctrine of the ego, that makes this thought dungeon, which it calls the State Palace, your life. Love dissolves the ego. It cannot stand before the truth. But be aware, that truth and love are absolute. They can only be fully present at any time.

Too big a job?

You would never be able to cope with this gigantic task, as you rightly recognize. It would not be possible, not even with the knowledge of the world, to reach a state of perfect truth and love. But creation itself cares about its beloved children. Each of us holds the key in himself, has this altar in his heart, which he only has to clear, in order to prepare a place for the love of creation. It will come, it is already there. And it is your wonderful quality to expand.

Hear the call?

So if we are in a position to see another thought system of transience, greed and death - only very vaguely it may appear through - then let's opt for this other thought system of love - and creation takes care of the rest. Love expands. We just have to choose her, hear her call, let her in, prepare an altar for her, welcome her. Our free will. , that is the great power of our thoughts. Which actually changes things.

Barbed wire barrier?

It is the thought system of dualism, from which the terms of judgment, guilt, and sin are causally and irreversibly mapped. Creation mutates into a punishing God, who gives us nothing, but a life in fear of the indefinite. The separation among humans is manifested in this structure. So also the separation from creation, from love. This wall of thought barbed wire is dissolved, when we turn to the thought system of creation, the truth. If we just want to hear the call of love. A little bit of free will.

The ego in disintegration?

And this is the liberation of that stale uncertainty about the meaning of life in the chaotic world. Because what is opening up there, piece by piece, is so great, that the premises of the ego never existed. And, that is exactly, what the ego is afraid of. Rightly. Because it is in the process of dissolution. Creation does not even know the ego, but this ego has blindfolded our eyes with black rags, which love now gently removes, one after the other.

Summary

If we strive to understand, with just a little bit of will, begging to hear the call of love, it will respond. On the spot. Quite specifically. A call out of truth, to recognize her, no matter how tiny it is, the softly whispered request, is answered by love with a gentle embrace. And so, it is only necessary to change the thinking, that completely shapes our world towards loving ones. Only our loving thoughts can free us from the power of the ego, the power it draws from our fear in its structure, its system of thought.
