Day Seventeen: Transcending Thought “Love transports mortal beings to the existential plane of spiritual eternity transcending the emo-tional, mental, and physical limitations of an inaccurately perceived finite existence.” ― Ken Poirot Self-love is really a return to self. Not the self that represents the beliefs, material possessions, and identity we accumulate in mindless incessant thinking but the self that is like God, mysteri-ous and eternal, free from mental labels. It is awakening from learned unconsciousness and ex-pressing your true divine nature. Self-love is not acting lovingly towards yourself, it is not even making decisions or thinking in your best interest. Those things are simply a demonstration of self-love. Actual self-love is acknowledging, accepting, and expressing the truth of who you are, unapologetically. During my morning meditation, I experienced a moment of true thoughtlessness. It was a mo-mentary glimpse at life through the lens of infinite intelligence. A disassociation from all that I consider myself to be, without judgement or criticism. I disconnected from my expectations, worry, fears, accomplishments and relationships. Only me without thought, present in being, not doing or desiring. I experienced a level of peace far beyond anything I've ever known. Who I really am revealed itself in the most powerful way, far beyond what my best thoughts could ever create. It was a moment of elation. I realized that there is really nothing I can’t do, have or be. In fact I already am those things, although resistance has not allowed me to experience them. False ideas like guilt, shame, unworthiness, and inexperience have obstructed the flow of love, empower-ment, infinite wisdom and intelligence. My willingness to fearlessly let go of myself created a pathway to every possibility. More incred-ibly, it was the realization that I am every possibility. We are unbounded potential, free to ex-plore every option or not, it is completely our choice. There is no way to have a full existence without thought and used properly, it is key to limitless experiences. My mind is creative in nature, able to manifest whatever it can contemplate, howev-er there is much to experience beyond thought. What you are able to know through intellect is a tiny fraction of what actually is. In the state of thoughtlessness, infinite creativity, balance and harmony, love, ideas and organizing power flow freely. Mind and thought are simply the door-way. Beyond that door is an energetic sea of consciousness that creates and sustains all that is. Whatever you desire can be created when non thought directs your thoughts.
