We are what our thoughts have made us. Take care of these thoughts. The lake of mind on which these thoughts arise continue infinitely as a ripple - tinier as it flows outward, yet still present and ready to rise again when right conditions prevail.
We often hear new seekers complain of having unpleasant thoughts during meditation. Once they realise thoughts rise on their lake of mind has a source cause in their conscious thinking at all other times, they begin to view thoughts as a means to mend their ways.
So how do we make a conscious effort in moulding the thoughts at all times? We have to make the thoughts that make us at this very moment in the lake of our minds - feeding, purifying, stilling and constantly attracting the love and care it needs. Other practices like Rejuvenation, Inner Connect and sitting for meditation with trainers and the guide will aid in the proper moulding of the thoughts.
How long one needs to continue these conscious efforts? When love in the heart develops, the deliberate actions become automatic, and the seeker starts to look forward to the connections that deepen the experience - observing unpleasant and pleasant thoughts as being part of a spectrum - ventures beyond both as a traveller guided by the light of love in the heart.
simple, and not easy
