Be Careful Which Spirits You Allow In

Acceptance is the key that opens the Gates of your heart and mind.

Before we begin, please let me explain this concept. Most look at spirits as some unseen, but influential, energy or presence. Some call them “ghosts.” I’d imagine a lot of people associate their concept of a spirit to either some religious book, a movie, television show, or cartoon. I’m not here to say your dumb or that’s totally wrong or you’re grossly missing the mark. What I want to attempt is to give a different perspective. A perspective that may help you moving forward.

A spirit is an idea, concept, or mental construct. These energies come from a Mind. We can debate over if it’s from the conscious mind (Ego) or subconscious mind (Universal) later. No doubt, they come from SOMEWHERE. They are formless, nobodies with no physical flesh. So since we are dealing with the Unseen World, these notions are hard to measure or even qualify. We end up venturing into the world of fairy tales and make believe. What you cannot disregard is that you DO have ideas. That you DO have “things” that come to mind out of the blue. That you DO have thoughts that are hard to get rid of and seem to haunt you. Let’s speak on those.

You — yourself — are a spirit. You are an idea. You were imagined, first, before given physical form. You are a prime example of this notion. Now, whether you want to say your parents thought of you first or something greater is up to you. Everything you see and touch and experience with your five senses is a spirit. It was conceived in a Mind first and then made into matter. That cell phone? A spirit. That truck you drive? A spirit? That tree you sit under to read? A spirit. The poet that expresses themselves in a short poem about the ocean waves crashing onto the seashore is being led by a “spirit.” It is a thought so moving and touching that they want to give it life by invoking a pen and paper.

Up until now, I’ve only spoken of the spirits that YOU create and express. But what about the spirits you don’t create? How do they gain access to YOU and your Mind? That’s easy and complex, at the same time. The answer is “Acceptance.” Thoughts, concepts, ideas, mental constructs from OUTSIDE OF YOU must be rejected or accepted. There’s no inbetween here. It’s the vampire standing on your doorstep trying to glamore you so you allow them into your home. That vampire can’t come in otherwise. You have to allow it. Then as the movie goes, you are FOOD. LMFAO. It’s not about belief. It’s not about what you BELIEVE. I can accept a notion, but not use my Belief Power to further its cause. Accepting a thought and allowing it inside of your mind (your holy temple), allows that spirit to perpetuate. To Live. Example; If I told you that compasses are mostly wrong and that they point to a magnetic north pole but not the true north pole, you then would immediately accept or reject that thought. You would either be amazed at this new “light” or irritated and dismissive. If you accepted this notion, at some point you would follow-up on the idea. Why? Because it exists in you now.

Yes, I know this is somewhat of a novel thought. You can either accept or reject. You’re standing at a fork in the road and what you do with this information will lead you to two different places.
