A message from a friend

I read this yesterday and thought it deserved an A+

Our thoughts don't come from the brain, just as music doesn't originate in the circuits of a physical radio. The brain is an antenna ­ it picks up a signal and rebroadcasts it into the conscious mind. When we can distinguish thoughts that come from our opponent, we can reclaim control of our lives.

As you go through your day, become aware of those thoughts that originate from your darkness, and those from your light.

Wow! K. Want to think about the message... who is signaling the brain, do you suppose? Know you don't want a question, you want a comment!:) Is the act willful? Is brain just a transmission device then? R U suggesting it is an agent or that it is being used by either light or dark? What is it's relationship then to us if it operates to transmit signals from an entity unknown to the persona? Is the personality passive here ...

This is great
BUT just thinking I dont think we would be that in tune with an opponent!

I believe our unconscious has an inbuilt protection. Of course we pick up challenging thoughts as well as conducive ones. But it would be dangerous to assume that what we pick up is not somehow important.

Whatever it is; it is picked up by our antennae for a reason be it for protection; guidance and/or information.

A serious form of self denial could operate if we suppress thoughts or information that actually we need to address.

The key is the repetitious pattern;when we get repeat thoughts, information or challenges.

I think this is God's way of prompting us to DO (or acknowledge) something (as opposed to resist something)...

Interesting thought. The brain is ABSOLUTELY capable of picking up the 'signal' from God ('your light') or Satan ('our opponent' or 'your darkness'). It's up to us to determine what to do with that information. Do I believe the lies that over accentuate my weaknesses, my faults, my guilt to the point that those things define who I am and thereby CONFINE me to repeat those actions - a Pygmalion abattoir for the soul. Or - do I choose to focus on those 'signals' that come from a source of light. Those signals that at first create great discomfort of cognitive dissonance, but that over time begin to fulfill in me a longing that has been ever present. The longing to know, to be part of, to be in relationship with - love.
