We hear that question quite often. But taken literally what does it really imply; to lose one’s mind? We usually use this expression when we are in disbelief or in shock about one’s behavior, action or reaction concerning a particular situation. But in truth one may wonder has the human race gone mad or insane? Have we lost our mind or the right use of it?

Just when you think you have heard it all, you would soon hear something crazier or more insane than what you have heard from the day before, whether it is through the media or a friend, whether it is about someone you know or some total stranger we hear some unbelievable news and you wonder how could it be? Than we generally leave it as that as we attempt to move on with our lives. But that does not really change anything, does it?

In our inner core we know this is true. Every negative thing we may have heard or experienced, if not dealt properly, will eventually create fear in our lives. Subconsciously we will begin to feel apprehensive about making certain decisions, going to certain places or doing certain things which can hinder our joy, freedom and peace of mind.

This is why we must learn to properly or righteously treat our own mind so we may become unaffected by the things we have heard, imagined, or seen. In doing so we are also sending positive vibrations to the world collective’s consciousness, thus helping it get rid of some negative vibrations that are the roots of many evils.

There are many situations around the world and some even in our own personal lives and surroundings to consider that one may get a feeling of disempowerment and discouragement. And one may wonder is there any hope? Can anything really make a difference? Or is it even worth making any attempts in helping to make the world a better place to live.

But yes you can make a difference by touching one’s soul at a time, beginning with your very own. And it all starts with the mind and learning to make the right use of it.

Have you thought what is the mind, or what has been on my mind or what have I been thinking? We make several references about the use of the mind each and every day, but yet have we stopped to ponder on what it is and how we can make it work for us and not against us.

Yes there maybe a lot going on around the world as we watch the news, or reading the newspapers. Maybe you are presently facing some challenges in your personal life due to some unfortunate situations or conditions. Perhaps you are concerned about a loved one. Maybe you are trying to make sense of everything for yourself and do not really know where to turn to or what to do anymore with your life. Maybe your relationships are not going as well as you would like them to.

If so, it is probably a good time to focus your mental energies inwardly by escaping the external world thru prayer and devotion. There is a quiet place within your heart and you can escape there anytime you would like. This is a place of refuge or a secret place where you may commune freely with your Father who knows you and loves you and is eagerly waiting for you.

There is a whole new world within that the Light of Christ is able to reveal to you if you are willing to make the shift inward.

Today, better yet right now take a moment, surrender it all, trust the divine life in you to lead you and direct your every step. There is a fountain of unconditional love, support and goodness within you, make that step and believe in the power of God in you, thus making the right use of your mind by giving it all to God and starting over with renewed strength, determination and courage.

Peace be with you,
