unwind the mind from the ego with service, using inspired projects as a backdrop for communion with the holy spirit, prayer & collaborating in selflessness
When you think of projects in terms of the world, the purpose underneath is always to achieve a form goal that is always future based. In regards to experiencing a renewal of mind, whether it is washing the dishes, cleaning or talking with family members, everything of the world can be used as a backdrop to watch what emotions and thoughts are arising in awareness—mind-watching.
The goal now is taken off of the world—achieving or finishing something in the world—to mind-watching for the purpose of forgiveness. With the Holy Spirit, you look upon the false voice of the devil in mind, that seems to obscure the experience of God’s Peace and Joy. Only through looking upon and seeing the falsity of the ego, a complete surrender of self, is when you accept the Self in Christ and experience the Stillness and Love of God.
“When I was over in Mexico, at La Casa de Milagros, we would contribute to the projects that were going on there. At this time, not knowing what mind-watching was, the projects and collaborations seemed like hell because they were flushing up the ego. I was helping with the video editing, and I remember I was experiencing an upset because the ego was suggesting to me, “Look at the size of these videos, you’re going to run out of internet.”
The false effects of these thoughts always resulted in upset, and unknown to me at the time, this is what the projects were being used for—to flush the ego in mind for the purpose of seeing it as false and overlooking it. The upset, in regards to running out of internet, was there for me to eventually see the underlying false belief of lack that was in the mind, being projected out by the ego onto the world.
Looking at these false thoughts and belief of the ego in mind, with the Holy Spirit’s Wisdom and Discernment, where it is seen as false and overlooked, allows the Peace of God to reveal itself as the only experience.” Dylan
The Foundation of Peace: Interior Forgiveness
“How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?“ Matthew 7:4
The mind, when led by the voice of the adversary, projects a world of fear, lack, attack and conflict. It projects the Peace of God, experienced through surrender and Grace, into a future worldly goal where it is never found. It makes God’s Peace conditional upon external circumstances.
At One Silent Mind, we approach this by shifting the focus from the world back to the level of the mind, which is the only level of causation or where healing can truly occur.
This work involves:
- No Private Thoughts: Learning to be vulnerable to expose the voice of the enemy in an environment of non-judgement. How can a liar be exposed if one is not willing to expose them?
- Mind-Watching: Learning to observe “the great deceiver’s” frantic whispers with the Holy Spirit, recognising them as mere shadows passing before the Light of Christ.
- Prayer & Forgiveness: Using prayerful questioning to challenge the falsity of the voice of the adversary, allowing the Truth of the Holy Spirit to set us free.
- Following the Holy Spirit: Moving from the voice of the adversary’s need for personal control to the quiet, intuitive direction of the Holy Spirit, that is always available in the present moment.
The practices we share are designed to aid in the renewal of the mind by the Holy Spirit, so that you may live as a transparency for the Divine, allowing the Joy of your true Self in Christ to shine through without hindrance.
“Opening to A Better Way” – Carol
“You are not a victim of this world. This was the sentence that hit me so deep that I could barely imagine all the unfolding that would come after that.
I was going through another cycle of wondering what I was doing here. What was my purpose here? I wanted to have a “calling,” a purpose, a sense of I was doing something good here in the world, and I felt so frustrated as I was feeling so sad not “finding” it.
I believed I could not have peace of mind if I was not doing anything in the world, if I was not productive as I “should be.” This helped me to question many beliefs. The awareness to watch the mind during each single event and perceive the situation without the ego brought much of a cleansing and clarity.
The fact that nothing outside of us can bring us happiness is a life changing experience. To take responsibility for my mind changes it all. It goes all the way back to the initial sentence: you are not a victim of this world. It’s up to you to decide what you want. Do you want to perceive peace or fear?
Joining here with Dylan and friends reinforces the mind-training and the unwinding. I no longer want to live under pressure or under goals from the ego purpose. The only purpose for me is to release limiting beliefs, and using projects as a background for that work is wonderful.
To have mighty companions with you along the way that can hold the space with no judgment and only love is a precious gift.
As I write this and watch my mind I can still see thoughts of judgment and criticism, and I thank this opportunity to be aware of them and choose again. Let’s hand them over and forgive myself.
Let’s join forces in Love and serve the Spirit for the Whole, practicing mind-watching and forgiveness in every activity we are asked to do. Be only Love, choose only Love and, above all, the Peace of God.” Carol
