It wants what it wants when it wants it – even if ‘it’ is a plan for 10 years in the future. It is a master manipulator, hell-bent on destroying you, its sponsor!
Practice discipline. Be very, very skeptical of everything that little yapper tries to tell you. It’s always gonna try to get the best of you because – did you forget? – it’s the heavily hypnotized world mind! It’s the flesh mind in all its seductive glory!
Three words written or uttered with a small letter are suspect: mind, soul, self. Watch out for them in your mental atmosphere. They breed contempt, fear and discouragement.
But with a capital letter they signify God!
You could take all synonyms and attributes of Spirit, God, and give them that lower case (small letter) spin and the fleshly machinations will be disastrous! But keep them unsullied and pure as the driven snow and they will serve you perfectly.
So, how do we distinguish and dismiss the demands of the body’s mind (contrasted with the divine mind)? At first, suspect it every moment and stifle it. Listen extra hard for the still, small voice until it takes over. Keep after it till the last vestige has returned to its native nothingness and you’re free, thrilled and soaring!
