Minding the Soulful Self
It is easy to distinguish between the voice of the inner spirit and the voice of the mind. As the mind speaks one feels immediate agitation..............and within each word of the spirit one finds peace and the strength of truth.
The mind has a tendency to control the degree of truth..................the inner spirit shows to you the whole picture of the truth and frees you to choose the good and the right.
The mind offers the solution to a problem and then questions its solution....................the inner spirit fills you with faith and then makes you question if there really is a problem.
The mind rests in planning its desire.....................the inner spirit rests in following Gods word moment to moment and in waiting for His Master plan to unfold.
The mind wishes to follow the truth..............the inner spirit simply does.
The mind hurries and creates its fears....................the inner spirit waits for the Divine signal and creates the miracle.
The minds seeks the answers to its fears................the inner spirit speaks to God in prayer.
The mind uses anger as its tool to accomplish its work...............the inner spirit takes the flame of love and lights Gods world with kindness.
The mind is dependent on the inner spirit but it denies its dependence......................the inner spirit is free of the mind yet it gives the mind moment to moment the strength to be the inner spirit!
