What State Are You In?

What state are you in? No, not California or Florida but what mental and spiritual state of mind are you in? Do you realize that your state of mind right now is creating your life experience tomorrow and the day after and after? It's true, the state of mind in which you habitually find yourself determines the course of your life. You are the creator of your own personal reality.

The Bible speaks in Matthew of "In my Father's house are many rooms - if it were not so, would I not have told you so? I go to prepare a room for you." (sometimes "rooms" is erroneously translated as mansions). The rooms that Jesus is speaking of are not in the next world, they are in this one. They are your states of mind. Your mental state is like a room that you inhabit in your mind. It can be a room of plenty or a room of poverty. It can be a room of joy or one of sorrow. You can be in the room of struggle or the one of ease and grace, the room of spiritual peace or the one of the ego that knows not God. The outward facts or circumstances of your life are the residue of your past states!

There are thousands of mental rooms that we may inhabit. You hold the key. No one makes you rent out space in your mind to poverty, negativity, sorrow or illness. You make the choice to believe in these things or to deny the truth of their existance and therefore move out of that mental state or "room" in your mind. The cure for poverty is not more money - it is to think abundantly regardless of your bank account. The cure for illness is not only medicine but a belief that regardless of current facts, health is your natural state.

What you focus on, what you think about, what you speak about, what you expect to happen will happen. This is the operation of Divine Law. We call this Law the Law of Cause and Effect. All things begin with Cause, in this case, your thinking - your beliefs. The experiences of your life are the Effects of your beliefs, thoughts, words and actions. It is that simple.

Want to change your life? Stop thinking about what you fear, what you do not want, about all the bad that has happened to you or that you have done to others. Put you mind on what you want, who you want to be - your best self. Expect the best and watch it begin to appear in your life.

God is not your parent - God is your Creator and there is a big difference. God loves you as She loves Herself but She gave you free will that you might learn and grow as a soul and a human. You have the Divine Right to live in the Dark or the Light - it is your choice and God will not interfere. You will have to live with the consequences of your choice, so choose well!

If you want to change your life, change the way you think, speak and act. Change comes only at the level of Cause and you are the Cause of your life. Trying to change your life by fiddling with the physical facts of your life (new job, new city, new spouse) is like trying to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic. You are fiddling with Effects and only a change in Cause can create real change.

What state are you in? Imagine yourself as an airplane. Do you fly through sunlit skies of bright blue or do you constantly scud through thick clouds and storms? Change your altitude and come into the sunshine. Change your attitude and change your life!
