What Is Highest Thought?

In a few recently written posts, we have detailed some ways in which you can cultivate the habit of thinking your highest thought. If we are to raise the consciousness level of the world, we will all choose to practice even these simple habits.

Many different authors have expressed their thoughts and feelings on what Highest Thought is, although I felt that this quotation from Conversation With God worded it in a way that is easy to relate to.

"Mine is always your Highest Thought, your Clearest Word, your Grandest Feeling.
Anything less is from another source.... The Highest Thought is always that
thought which contains joy. The Clearest Words are those words which contain
truth. The Grandest Feeling is that feeling which you call love." -
Conversations With God, Neale Donald Walsh


Since all paths lead to the Truth and Knowing, this is only one way of framing highest thought. Be honest with yourself for a moment, and consider that you already know what this is and more importantly what your highest thoughts might be, if you allowed them to light. Personally, I relate to my highest thought in other senses also, in the way that it lacks ego. My highest thoughts, even those that are highly personalised and individual, always contain benefit for everyone, not simply myself. An easy example is my favourite "default thought", in those rushed moments when I must consciously kick my self to think highly and lift my head from distraction is "I love me". Simply that.

"Where's the benefit to everyone in that thought?" you say. It can certainly appear to be selfish depending on your perspective. Let me ask you this. Are we not all one? Are we not all of the same race? Coming from that aspect, my loving myself, loves all. It's all encompassing.

There is a fabulous breathing excercise I learned for healing some years ago which I will write on some time, which gives some very tangeable ways of connecting with the greater consciousness and thinking of others.

Until then, what is your highest thought? I invite you to leave it as a comment, for humanities sake.

Peace,
