KNOWING SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE II of II


. KEEP the mind always in a positive state by thinking of positive thoughts (positivism mantra).
. TRUST in God and all things will be provided to you. (christian belief system).
. ALL things, dramas and situations are illusions coated by the egoistic mind, so detach and do not hold on to them. Attachment causes suffering (eastern mysticism)

The most efficient technique is an increasing mindfulness of one's self and a certain degree of discipline to keep the mind steady and alert. All our conscious/unconscious actions and reactions that cause us to suffer stem from the mind and how it perceives the outside world. The thoughts that occupy our minds trigger and fuel our emotions; create the kind of life we have, the kind of person we believe we are.

Be aware, mind creates thoughts plus the quality of our soul equals Consciousness. The kind of consciousness we have gives us a hint of the quality of our minds. The kind of person we are, our approach to our relationship and the world and the expression of our life give us a hint of the kind of consciousness we have.
