The Matter With Mind Over Matter

I sometimes find it interesting when it comes to writing that I flow with whatever comes into my mind. In a way it becomes a cathartic release of sorts and allows me to move what was beforehand in my mind onto paper, or e-paper, so to speak and in that way get it out of my head.

I know I've written about this subject before in another of my blog articles, but it's a good thing worth repeating. That is, each of us needs time to process whatever it is that we need to process, and using whatever medium we can or do have at our disposal is usually one way to go about processing the electrons firing in our head, and making them productive in some outer way.

Usually and hopefully not at the harm of another though. That's not productive. But find a way that allows for the release of whatever it is you find in your head and you'll do fine.

I'm tempted to begin with whatever comes to mind when it comes to writing this article. But that's okay as this is what needs to be raised at the time it needs to be written. There is nothing wrong with saying what needs to be said, especially when that saying is something that needs to be said and shared and expressed.

Expression is the will of the One and that is what one needs to know as for the expression of what is necessary. There is nothing sacred about expressing what is on one's mind. It is in there for a reason and the expression of it is what needs to be maintained and used to allow for a clearing of sorts from the mind and out of the head. This release is good for the mind and the soul overall. It is something that one needs and should be using to ensure that whatever is being said is what needs to be expressed.

You see, there is a certain way in which the mind works. And when we allow it to have its say then it shows us what it is that we need to see but heretofore were not allowing ourselves to know about. There is amazing potential and latent power in what is stored in each of our minds and in our heads and when one allows oneself to come in contact with that power, that energy, the using of it can prove just as powerful and useful to a larger extent.

Don't let what is going on inside your mind scare you. It wants to help you. It wants to show you that there is another way to exist in the world and if you'll let the expression of the ideas and thoughts that are up in your head be expressed then you'll know what it is that you need to see to help you with whatever it is you might be struggling with now.

You see, we might think that we know it all and that whatever we see and know is all that needs to be known. But that simply isn't the case.

How many times have you woken up from a sleep and found yourself just not feeling quite right but not knowing why? You went to sleep the night before feeling rather good and prepared for the coming morning. But then upon waking you realize that there is something that feels out of place inside.

That is what is speaking to you and desires expression. Something happened between the time you went to sleep and the moment you woke up. What was that happening?

'You' weren't there, that's what was happening.

You weren't in the way to not allow your mind to process whatever it was that it needed to process. Your mind spoke to you through the night and perhaps helped you see things and dream things and remember things that you don't want to or can't remember during your waking hours. And now that those seemingly unpalatable realizations were stirred around during the night, you wake up feeling disturbed and 'not quite right'.

But this is perfectly normal - as long as you know that your mind is trying to tell you something. It's speaking to you. Or rather, Spirit is speaking to you. Only it's not using words. It wants you to know what it is that it is sharing. If only you'll listen you'll do yourself a world of good.

You see, what happens during sleep is the ego, the overinflated sense of self, is no longer there. We're all raw, pure, and mentally naked so-to-speak when we're sleeping. There's no 'I' getting in the way of what it is that we truly need.

And because that mental clearing occurred it's best that you do what you can to process what it is that is happening each night. And by processing it I mean listening to the space inside of you that feels not too right upon wakening. It's speaking to you. It's telling you that you have been working on something that is happening irrespective of your mind. Spirit is speaking to you.

And your work is to listen to that telling.

That's key to reducing the amount of days that one wakes up feeling out of sorts. That is how to start the process of no longer wakening to that feeling that something isn't right.

That is how to ensure that those mornings where you don't feel on top of your game are reduced.

I don't think they'll ever be eliminated because that is part of the lifelong process of living. But, I believe they can be reduced. But only by listening to the speaking that is being spoken while one sleeps.

And then having enough wherewithal to heed the words that you are telling you.

You are dreaming. You are processing what is in your mind. It's your sleep time. No one else's. You have to honor that process and allow it to tell you and show you what it is that you need to work on.

Are you willing to do that? It doesn't take much work. Just go to sleep tonight and don't resist what you remember tomorrow morning. Think about it. Remember it. Hang onto it and let it show you the golden nuggets of insights that you're being given each and every night in your mind.

Eventually your days will become more golden too. Sweet. So sweet.
