So I decided to add onto my journey "The Power of Now"...My first lesson was interesting, essentially I learned that my sense of self-worth and identity are not tied to my mind. I've been working on putting the exercise into practice of a) listening to the voice in my head, but being impartial, not passing any judgement, but just observing the voice aka "the thinker", b) focusing my attention on living in the now, intentional attention to what I'm doing it and seeing it as an end of itself...It's wonderful how the teachings re-emphasize those in the bible...inorder to live we must die to self or carnal man, and allow the spirit-man which is connected to God to live in us. It is a battle for the mind-my mind...and it's great that i've already decided the winner...sorry flesh buddy you gotta go :o)
I'm a new creation, the old is gone and the new has come. I cried out over a year ago for You Lord to fill the void in me and you heard me just as You promise over and over again in Psalm 34. You're nearer than I feel, you know me, you watch over me all the time. I thank you Jesus.
