What do you want to come of this?

What do you want to come of this? That is the question that needs to be asked each day and at the beginning of each thing you do. Once you are clear on the goal, is your thinking in alignment with it?  Is your behavior in alignment?

Most of us have numerous distractions in our thinking and behavior. Distractions cause us pain and discomfort, because they put us in conflict with ourselves.

Notice your distractions today.  Mental fantasies, conflicted thoughts, adversarial behaviors, eating too much, obsessing about things. When you catch yourself being distracted, stop. Give your thoughts over to Spirit (God, Universal Mind, Higher Self, whatever you call It) and let the Inner Voice guide you. Clarify your goal and refocus your thinking.

Your thoughts are creating your experience, and your experience reinforces your thoughts. It may take quite an effort to dig out of the mental holes we fall into. Knowing what you want helps to motivate you.

Nothing to defend

There is nothing to defend. There are no conflicts except the ones in my mind. There are no battles to fight unless I choose to invent them.

 What if someone attacks and I don't defend? Is it still an attack? If someone gives me their criticism and hatred, but I don't receive it, who does it belong to?

Let me see clearly today. Where there seems to be attack, let me see an opportunity to help. Someone else's pain doesn't have to be mine.

Defensiveness makes me weak. Defenselessness makes me strong. Listen and understand. There is nothing to defend.

In the flow

Spiritual Intelligence puts you in the flow. When you lose yourself in creating, performing, serving or teaching others, or even fishing, something greater moves through you. Spirit expresses through you. Choose activities that put you in this state and you feel complete. When Spirit moves through you and your ego is in check, you are complete. In the flow state creativity and miracles increase in frequency.

Practicing Spiritual Intelligence

The ego is the false self, the self image that you hold. The ego is fear based.

Spiritual Intelligence is choosing the Voice of Spirit (God, Universal Mind, whatever you name it) over the voice of the ego. You always have access to the Voice of Spirit. Fearful thoughts tend to drown out the Inner Voice.

Be aware today. Check with yourself hourly. How do you feel?  Fearful? Threatened? Angry? Joyful? Relaxed?  If your emotion is negative, that's a signal for you that the ego is running things. This is an excellent time for prayer, or for meditation.  Consciously release the thoughts that are causing your negative emotion, even if you don't know what those thoughts are. Ask Spirit for guidance for what to think and what to do. Get quiet and listen. Proceed with confidence that all is well and that you are receiving the guidance you need.

Thank you

Whatever happens today, say "Thank you." Whether it feels good or bad, it's for your good. Say thank you and ask your Inner Voice how to perceive what happens. Ask for direction and then move forward with confidence. Nothing can harm the essence of what you are. Live full out. Smile. Laugh. You are a blessing to the world.

Spiritual Intelligence

The root of the word "intelligence" means to "choose between. Spiritual intelligence is the willingness and ability to choose between the inner voice of spirit, or the many voices of ego. It takes practice to discern between, but it only takes intention to ask, get quiet, and listen. What is your purpose?  What do you want to come of this day? As we learn to trust in the Inner voice (intuition, inspiration) and act, life unfolds in ways that are often miraculous.

Be willing not to believe.

Assess your thinking. Dive deep into your mind to contemplate that which you claim to believe. Be willing not to believe.  Open yourself to insight and inspiration. How can you learn and grow spiritually if you already know it all?  Be open, or else you are only practicing religion, not spirituality.
