Yesterday’s tip ended with this statement:
As previously mentioned, we let go of a thought by realizing we don’t want it, and the best way to realize what you don’t want is to remember what you do want—your spiritual aspiration.
Today’s reading is about the importance of remembering what you want by focusing on the heart instead of on thinking.
One advantage of Gentle Healing is that we take time each day to focus on the heart through reading, contemplation and meditation. Without this daily focus, we would most likely be slaves of the head instead of servants of the heart.
It is just as Jesus taught when he walked on the shores of Galilee:
Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
Dependence on the mind is like building a house on sand. Dependence on the heart is like building a house on a foundation of rock.
Note: The next tip will be available tomorrow morning after 3:50am ET at this link.
