An Empty Mind
Jewels V forum of Way of Mastery I have been witnessing something interesting that has not occurred in my life before, but for fleeting moments here and there. For the past few weeks now, my mind seems to be empty. There are no thoughts cruising through, my mind is not ‘hooking’ into anything – it’s just ‘being’... empty. It observes things that go on around me, things it used to ‘hook’ into, things that used to irk it, and it always had plenty of opinions on everything! Not so, however, in the past few weeks. I have wondered about this and asked the Holy Spirit and all I get is – ‘you need do nothing’. The only thing I do need to do, is to let go of all things that my ego ever created, plus to let go of all things it wants to create now, because I cannot ‘serve two bosses’:

Either I serve the Atonement or I serve the ego, but I cannot serve both at the same time, as they pull me in opposite directions. Serving the ego never worked, serving the Atonement is working and a lot more rewarding and fun!
I am feeling that things are being done for me – someone else is doing the organizing of my life – and it feels like I’m being rewired in the brain and at a cellular level. There are times when I am undecided as to what choice/decision to make, but while I’m wondering about it, I know that the decision has already been taken for me and that that decision will serve the Atonement. All I have to do is wait for the outcome to manifest itself and make itself known to me and Trust that it is indeed the best outcome/decision. From time to time I get a hint of what is going on or what will be transpiring soon, but not always.
Then it occurred to me that an empty mind, is an open mind. It almost feels like my mind is indeed busy, but with different things than it used to be. It feels like it is busy tapping into the Universe to see what is going on in the ‘Bigger Picture’, though I am not always aware of or told what that is - I just get snippets of it now and then. As an example, the Holy Spirit through me is currently building a house - a sanctuary for the Atonement - here on island. People ask me details as to what it will look like and I have to tell them - that I have no idea - that it’s a surprise for me too, whereas in the www.wayoftheheart.net
past I would have made it my business to know all the answers/details and if I didn’t, I’d have an opinion about it! I trust that all is in divine order and that I do not have to know what makes things shake and move in this world. It’s a wonderful state of being – why was I not aware of this so many lifetimes ago???!
The other interesting thing is that my body seems to be operating separately from the mind and spirit. The mind seems to be more in alignment with the spirit now, which is another first for me – never observed that before! I also seem to be living much more in the moment, even if the mind is empty in the moment – I often forget what I did yesterday, yet if I were having a conversation with someone now, I can tell you exactly what has been said. For someone who has been ultramental all her life, this empty and open mind is wonderful – I highly recommend it! b
