Words From the Self: The Mind

You are the Will of the Father. The mind is the Sword of the Will, the Sword of Life that brings all things good and beautiful into being. But you have allowed your sword to grow dull and flat, heavy and uncontrollable, so that it is a danger to the wielder. Indeed, the Wielder--being the Will of God--has forgotten that it is he who wields the Sword, for he thinks it is the Sword who wields him.

Would you give a sword to an untrained boy, trusting him to use it for a righteous purpose? No you would not, for fear that the boy would harm both himself and those around him. But your Father has given you a Sword, because He trusts you, and knows you cannot be harmed, neither can you truly harm your brothers, for they are as eternal as he is.

But you have tried to use your Sword while forgetting who you are, forgetting that you are the Will of the Father. And the world you see testifies to your power, for it is a world of suffering, of anguish, of separation and of loss. Could this really be the creation of the Father? Is it not rather an illusion of your making, having forgotten that you are from the Father?

Let not your Sword grow dull, but remember your identity as the Will of the Divine Mother, and let the Sword of Mind be sharpened in meditation. For it is in meditation that you will learn peace, and when the part of your mind that remembers peace springs forth, the ego will follow quickly behind and assail you with thoughts and distractions. Fear not the attacks of the ego, for they are nothing. You are called merely to stand by as a holy witness and observe its meaningless screeches. And as you, the holy observer, witness the so-called machinations of the ego without judgement and without fear, you will see that the ego's source is none other than your own mind. It is you who calls it forth and gives it power.

You are not at the whim of your thoughts, but you have believed this in error, and used your own Sword to wreak havoc on yourself. Cease this insanity and use your mind for good, for that is why it was created. With your mind, you have the power to call down the power of the Father, for you are his Power and His Will. In this knowledge, find peace everlasting, for you are His peace and His joy.
