STILL GOT A HANDFUL OF UNWANTED RECURRING THOUGHTS?
Here’s an exercise to turn every one of them into a major blessing and get the “recurring” to take a permanent hike. Let’s make up a list ranging from annoying to downright nasty self-accusing thoughts to practice with. Take your time and answer each unwanted thought below thoroughly and finally (give details):
● You did [it] again – you can’t do anything right.
● You’re a murderer.
● You’ll never achieve that, you’ve tried so many times. Give up!
● You’re just a thief.
● You’ve got to do better: that just won’t work.
● Your worst enemy is ahead of you in [that].
● You’re only fooling yourself.
● You’re sick.
● You never should have trusted [them].
● You’ll never stop hating [them].
DID YOU SPEAK TO EVERY “THOUGHT” WITH AUTHORITY AND FINALITY?
Step #2: Repeat answering the above even more strongly. Make it real and personal.
DONE ? Great, now I DARE any actual unwanted thoughts of yours to try to torment you again! They can only make you stronger if you face them down like you just did on the made up ones above. After all, that’s all unwanted thoughts really are – made up and ready to go!
[Example: “You’re sick”.
Level #1: NO, I AM NOT. I’M THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD SO I CANNOT BE SICK. I DON’T EVEN LIVE IN A MATERIAL BODY BECAUSE I AM ENTIRELY SPIRITUAL.]
Level #2: Never born, never dying, I’m not a human being. I know nothing of sickness or any disharmony or harmony of the flesh. You want me to deal with aspects of an illusion?? That’s ridiculous! There is no me and there is no you. All that there is is God.
