First Thought, Highest Thought

How do you know if you have mastered thought?

I don’t know, simply because in my estimation I have not, but I can tell you more about the process of mastering your thoughts. In an earlier article today, I spoke of methods to become more conscious in your thought. If it is not already a habit, practice will make it so.

While thinking on this, I had the thought that I will create a booklist of all the resources in my real library, meaning books that you can touch, feel and smell. I enjoy the smell of a good book, even though the Internet is my biggest source.

See how easy it is to become distracted? Focusing and paying your thoughts attention may seem like a thankless task, in some ways it is. You only have yourself to thank and most of us are not too great at that. The payoff is in the results.

Another habit to cultivate, especially after you have practiced higher thought and are able to “think highly” at will, is to then extend your ability to thinking these thoughts, first. When faced with a situation, in that moment between the action happening “to you” and your mind selecting from its menu of pre-determined responses, simply insert the question “What is my highest thought right now?” . Stop time and ask it of yourself, you will be surprised at what may come out of your mouth. Sometimes this can be quite humorous.

Practicing and fostering this new habit will ensure that your highest thoughts become your natural responses to everyday situations, leading you to think more consciously about the smallest things. I admit, for myself its challenging at times.

Let me ask you this though, if you knew that cultivating your highest thought would get you closer to knowing and experiencing the Ultimate Truth of Life, intimately and personally, would you do it?


What is your next highest thought? Add it as a comment, there is no judgement here.

Awaken,
