Why the Mind is Detrimental to Your Journey

“Nothing Can Harm You as Much as Your Own Thoughts Unguarded” ~Buddha

There are certain quotes that just hit me the moment I see them, and this was one of them.  This quote packs so much wisdom and power into 11 words, it’s remarkable. Before awakened, I would have thought that this quote meant something more general like, have a positive outlook on life. Now that I’m awakened, I realize there is so much depth to these few words. 

The first way this quote rings true, is by the power of our minds manifesting through our thoughts. What we visualize and the stories that mind creates, are essentially the gateway to creating our futures.  All our thoughts have power within them to manifest the reality we see in five minutes from now, in one year from now, in ten years from now... If your mind is constantly believing in thoughts or stories that are keeping you in fear vibrations, well that is the energy you are going to continue to manifest in your life…harming you, like Buddha said. Think about when you’ve heard stories about someone getting sick…maybe they got cancer and you hear how they had such a positive outlook and their treatments worked and they got rid of the cancer. Thoughts are powerful.  If someone gets sick and they allow the fears of mind to dominate their every waking thought, the universe will bring them that vibration.  It’s simply the Law of Attraction.

We need to visualize and use the power of our minds to create the lives we want.  That’s how we were made.  We were made to be magical and powerful, yet we release our power to the mind and let those low vibrations do the manifesting for us.

What about this quote and its relevance to the twin flame connection? Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded…well this connection is based on your energy.  Your mind dictates your energy by the stories it tells.  Are you in fear, are you pushing that energy onto your person? Because if so, it will always keep your connection separate in the 3D. Despite being one soul, you will not allow them in your energy, if you cannot watch the mind, observe it, and come back to presence.  And the suffering, addiction, and obsessiveness will continue.  This is the thoughts unguarded harming you.  This is a process and something you must do repeatedly to make it a habit.  When you spot the mind, watch it.  Don’t participate in the thoughts.  Remind yourself that you are not your thoughts.  You are not the mind.  You are merely the observer of your thoughts.  And try to always bring yourself back to presence.  Don’t let your mind be harmful, use it for good!
