My mind is a centre of Divine operation (Part 1)

“My mind is a centre of Divine operation. The Divine operation is always for expansion and fuller expression, and this means the production of something beyond what has gone before, something entirely new, not included in past experience, though proceeding out of it by orderly sequence of growth.

Therefore, since the Divine cannot change its inherent nature, it must operate in the same manner in me; consequently in my own special world, in which I am the centre, it will move forward to produce new conditions, always in advance of any that have gone before.”

— Thomas Troward, The Dory Lectures; Thomas Troward (1847–1916) was an English author whose works influenced the New Thought Movement.

This rule of “ever expansion” very much applies to human beings as an inherent part of the nature and the universe, so at any point in our life where we are moving against the flow of expansion, we are experiencing some sort of pressure, because we have to use more energy to move to the opposite direction; it is the same when we want to swim upstream or run in opposite direction of the wind. I like to say that whenever we are experiencing any pressure or when we feel some sort of suffering, it is most likely because of the same reason, meaning we are not in harmony with this natural flow of nature and somehow resisting to our circumstances. This does not mean we should not take any action to change the circumstances and should accept all our non-preferred situations in life as is, though it means how to improve the situation using the universal laws and the natural divine support. What kind of thought we hold in mind? What approach do we take? And what is our attitude in the period of transition between the non-preferred status till we get to the preferred status? And most importantly how we are impacting ourselves and the world while we are going through this transition.

We are in constant communication with the universe and our vibration is the language we are using in this communication. Our attitude and approach are hugely impacted by our vibration, in fact it can also impact our environment and know this that a positive vibration is always stronger and more impactful than a negative one.

This is proven scientifically that our thoughts have huge magnetic power and we can use them to our interest or against it.

Words are the manifested form of our thoughts and is another powerful tool that we have in order to impact our world. We know that our world is not separate from the others’ world. We as human beings are not separate from the rest of the universe or from other beings in this universe, so whatever we do with ourselves and our world is impacting the universe, it is impacting every being , we are contributing to the consciousness of the universe with the level of consciousness, with our vibration and with the love we are giving to the world, this includes our thought and words in interaction with ourselves and others.

So, if you want to know what one good thing is that you can do to positively impact the world, it is for sure your increased consciousness and your vibration of which you are offering through your thoughts and words.

Think twice next time your mind wants to complain about something, even if it is weather, economy, politicians etc… which might be considered habitually normal, specially if you are saying these to another person! Complaining, nagging and criticizing even pity are not in harmony with love, they are not aligned with expansion and empowerment which are the divine qualities. Such thoughts and words are neither impacting you nor the world around you in a positive manner since they are contracting. It is easy to recognize your state when someone around you is saying negative words versus when they are speaking positively or constructively. I don’t mean to be superficial and unrealistically being positive, what I mean is to at least try to sincerely find good in any situation or remain neutral holding this thought that there is goodness in everything, and I am yet to discover it.

When we start living more consciously and more mindful, we start to see the changes in the world and we find more meaning in every interaction, it is very awakening to observe and watch your thoughts and consciously changing their direction or at least neutralizing them.

I think most people agree with this Quote “You get what you give” this is mostly applicable to our vibrations. The kind of vibration we give to the world, we will receive, however the way it works is with the average of our vibration, hence if there are major fluctuations in our vibrations, we most likely get back an average of what we have emitted; that is why it is very important to keep our vibrations high at most times despite what is happening in reality. If we have control over one thing around us, that is our vibration of which will impact our thoughts, feelings and the whole world.

Ways to increase our vibration:

Some ways that to increase our vibration are: being nature, harmonious physical activity like most sports, dancing and walking; High vibe music (mostly instrumental music); meditation; service to others; good read; expressing your love; appreciation and gratitude, writing, a meaningful deep and empowering conversation.

And things to avoid in order to keep our vibration high are: Judgement, comparison, complaining, sorrow, shame, nagging, argument, disrespect, news, most of messages from the media and anything that is not aligned with love and expansion and is spreading fear or lack.

That being said, I don’t mean we should not be sad or affected by circumstances at all, yet I mean we should become aware of our feeling, observe it and consciously taking a step to change it when they are not expansive. This step can be one of those mentioned above or something that we develop by ourselves; whatever it is, it starts with a change of thought around that topic and moving in the direction of expansion. The questions we want to ask ourselves in every situation is:

1- Is this thought/word expansive and empowering to me or other person?

2- Is it helping me or others with that specific situation?

3- Is there any better thought/word I can think/use to improve my state of being?

Keep in mind: our vibrations and our thoughts are the only things we have full control over!

What we need to do is to know and believe these facts with our conscious mind, contemplating on them and hold on to them, till they become a predominant thought and approach in our mind.
