The human mind is a creative process which we experience as a seemingly endless
flow of sensations and images, feelings and emotions, thoughts and words.
Sometimes this creative process will manifest as a single word such as, for
example, the word "love", and sometimes it will give rise to a whole sequence of
words such as, for example, "I am that love which is the power to transmute
discord into harmony through forgiveness".
It thus becomes clear that the human mind is a creative process which is capable
of organizing relatively meaningless fragments of experience into complex
patterns which are so meaningful that we make the conscious choice to remember
them, collect them, and value them as priceless treasure for the wisdom they are
able to convey.
Other times the creative process takes the form of a sequence of spontaneous
images that we call a dream, which may seem to make no sense and is soon
forgotten.
Some people make the choice to entertain their minds by passively watching the
mental creations which have been produced by other people such as, for example,
a newscast on television that is laced with propaganda or a movie at the local
theater that conveys a particular message by means of a vicarious experience.
Other people make the more empowering choice to exercise their minds by actively
producing their own original mental creations
such as, for example, this essay, which they may or may not share with others.
However, the most empowering choice that one can make is the choice to relax
one's mind and to open one's heart so as to allow
the spontaneous feelings of forgiving love to flow forth from the source of
one's being, which is beyond all words and beyond all
images.
This is the choice to awaken from the wondrous world of illusion so as to
remember who we really are.
This is the path that leads to enlightenment and mastery.
This is the way to enter what has been called the kingdom of heaven and to claim
for oneself the reality of eternal life.
