Your Diamond Mind –

The condition of my mind

My mind is conditioned by many factors.

The atmosphere I grew up in, my career choice, becoming a parent.

How all these factors work together determines the condition of my mind.

When things align, there is no problem.

But what happens when I cannot meet all the requirements for the society and culture I am living in?

The breakdown between the requirement and my resources causes unrest, fear, and personal disruption.

How do I bring myself back into alignment without those resources?

I have to find new resources.

I have looked for new jobs, tutors for my children, and skills training.

I have arranged transportation, meal planning, and schedules.

All of these resources are on shifting sand.

The way back to poise comes from listening within.

The answers which come to me may result in jobs, tutors, and transportation.

But the calm within creates a different condition for my mind.

Acting from clarity creates a relaxing flow.

It is tangible.

I can observe it.

I can feel it.

I am no longer disrupted or fearful.

I feel the presence of Guidance and resources.

I am connected through listening within.

This creates a completely different condition for my mind.

I am returned to poise and effective action.

It helps me build a new foundation and different expectations.

Your Diamond Mind –

Insight gives me the idea for solutions

When I am stuck for a solution, I can listen within.

There are more resources available to me than my training and experience can give me.

There are even more resources than the experiences other people can give me.

A new direction can come from insight.

A new way to use resources can come from insight.

A new way to connect with others can come through insight.

Insight provides a jump to the right connection.

It may not make sense, but it works.

It is fun to test out the answers which come through insight.

Suddenly we find that something works better than could be expected.

Sometimes things working at all is a delightful result.

Insight provides ways to use materials.

Insight repairs relationships.

Insight resolves disputes in ways which benefit all parties.

Insight provides compassionate solutions.

Insight is a dependable way to approach a project.

When we are seeking a solution to something which has never come up before, insight is the surest path to an answer.

Insight is the tangible experience which comes from inner listening.

We apply all our resources, all our knowledge, and then we wait to see how we are inspired to proceed.

This process makes room for inspired action.

It is uplifting to see the ideas roll in to move the project along.

Insight releases the heaviness of confusion and indecision and creates a sure path.

Insight provides delight with the solutions which appear.

We can trust insight and the sound solutions it provides.

Your Diamond Mind –

Listening for the best idea

The best idea supports a project in the most uplifting ways.

The best idea is complete, open to improvement, and achievable.

The best ideas support well-being for all.

The uplifted thought realizes there are no limitations.

There are always solutions and resources when we listen within.

We open our connection to the Infinite and Its’ resources.

With consistent practice, we always receive the best idea.

We know how to take our tiny steps to bring it about.

We are able to include everyone through detailed consideration of needs and unlimited resources to fulfill them.

This desire opens thought to receive the best ideas.

Impossibilities disappear as imagination tunes into the Infinite.

Solutions present themselves and are accessible.

The best idea is never limited to one thing.

The best idea for one thing opens us to the best idea for everything.

As each step is taken, there is a best way to take the next step.

This is what we are listening for.

Our action is not based on our opinion or on any opinions.

It is Guided in every detail through inner listening.

Each day and each moment present opportunities to listen for the best idea.

Sometimes we are not aware of what is available because we are focused on the past.

When we move ourselves into the present moment, a different kind of opportunity becomes available.

This opportunity uses the resources at hand in the very moment.

Connections are made.

Expectations are exceeded.

Listening for the the Infinite activates the best idea, far beyond what can be imagined.

Your Diamond Mind –

Where harmony takes place

Harmony takes place in thought and in action.

Harmony takes place in the moment of one deep breath.

We open ourselves to harmony when we pause.

When we consider what is within and what is on the outside.

We can be a bundle of nerves or a bundle of harmony.

We are the ones who inform ourselves.

Are you focused on the world’s chaos and harassment?

Are you focused on your own inward peace?

I am cultivating a new habit of turning away from the news.

I guard what I let into my day.

My inner peace is precious to me.

It creates harmony for my day.

Moment to moment, I can add peace to my day.

Its adds up into a harmonious household.

It expands into a harmonious business.

It includes harmonious relationships.

I find my expression through listening to the Infinite.

I love having access to the unlimited resources that I find there.

When I listen within, there is always an answer.

This adds harmony to whatever I am doing.

I am moving into thoughtful existence.

I am able to consider where my move to action comes from.

Is it the tiny step from Guidance within?

If so, I am in tune with the Infinite and it will increase my harmony.

Your Diamond Mind –

Thoughtful gifting

The gift that I want most to share is the gift of inner peace.

It is the most important gift I have discovered, and it is always available.

It has been my privilege to work my way up through layers of despair and depression to find inner peace.

The spark of light which kept impelling me, was the desire to feel better, to heal.

I was desperate to fix my life.

As I moved in the direction of the spark of light, I began to discover what was within me.

I became amazed at what is available through the resources of the Infinite.

As I began to gain hope, I was arrested several times by what I thought was my direction and led to take another way.

This has led to the most satisfaction and happiness I have ever felt.

In fact, it is beyond anything I knew to expect.

I am so happy to learn practical ways to share my gift of inner peace.

I am so grateful for the ways to demonstrate its’ availability.

We can bring inner peace into our lives by a simple practice of listening within.

From that first deep breath which allows us to slow down, we can gain a sense of inner direction.

This direction is always right when we continue to listen within.

Each step we take allows us to see more of inner peace.

It is tempting to add in our opinions and the opinions of others, but these are not based in the Infinite.

They do not offer a sure course.

One step of peace leads to another peaceful step.

The steps may feel intimidating at first, or even the opposite, like they are too tiny to be taking us anywhere.

Our willingness to follow them builds a foundation for both inner and outer peace.

We create a consistent, peaceful structure of listening within, and it shows up in the most  practical, peace-giving structures without.

This constitutes the harmony of our lives and is the gift we can share with our communities.

Your Diamond Mind –

Responding to Light

As I go deeper into my spiritual life, I realize that I am not here to fix things for myself.

The things which needed fixing and which brought me to my spiritual search are long gone in the past.

My children have grown up.

I am not desperate for work so I can feed them.

I am not dealing with the daily hassles of transportation, my own work issues, meals, laundry, and all the myriad details of running a household.

I have discovered what I love to do and I am doing it.

So what happens next?

There is more spiritual depth for me to discover.

The Light which brought me out of depression and anxiety has not stopped.

Its work is not done just because I feel better now.

I am grateful for deeper and deeper discoveries about my relationship to the Universe.

I love that It is all around me and through me and present throughout my day.

I love that I can turn to Its’ unlimited resources for uplifting ideas.

I love that I can translate these ideas into words and meditations and art.

I love that there is a wonderful, peaceful feeling when I am immersed in Spirit.

I love feeling the power that is Light and Love and Spirit.

Light led me gently and persistently and has not left me.

It will never leave me.

I am too convinced of the value of Spirit’s transforming Light, so I continue my inner listening.

I keep responding to Light so I can share it.

My new life continues to build and expand.

I am so glad to discover this.

I am not just recovering.

The same Light which brought me this far is compelling me to continue to go forward.

Your Diamond Mind –

Trust the ideas to appear

We each have a spiritual identity which is characterized by what we love to do.

Even if what we love is not popular in the world around us, it is still a sure guide to happiness and prosperity.

Our ability to supply a unique need connects us with those who appreciate it.

Our devotion to our unique skill sets up a frequency which leads others to find us.

Only that which comes uniquely to us will have that kind of attraction and the success which goes with it.

Our ability to trust our inner guidance is what connects us to the Infinite.

We are attracted to a particular expression through what we love to do.

As you notice what you are drawn to over and over again, this may be an indication of what you love.

During your quiet time of inner listening, you will observe what ideas comes to you.

This is the direction you are to pursue.

My direction, when it appeared, was a complete surprise to me.

I have gained new skills in order to express it.

There is a deep satisfaction, which I have not known elsewhere, as I express my unique identity.

I have gained deep trust in how my life is connected to the Infinite.

I have patience with how I am being guided.

The long term effect of moving with Guidance is deep calm and trust.

As long as I am doing my unique work, I have access to other things that I love.

Without the deep work, I lack the same feeling of harmony in the rest of my life.

We have millions of thoughts each day, and only a tiny percentage of them are new.

Tuning into the Infinite is refreshing as well as restorative.

Each new idea requires steps to bring it about.

Even if these are steps we have performed in the past, they have a new application.

We can trust the ideas which appear as our deep work to have the support of the Infinite.

Your Diamond Mind –

Support of Character

When we build a strong character through the uplifting qualities we express consistently, it supports us throughout our life.

We naturally avoid disturbances or interruptions.

We are able to brush them off and return to our steady course.

We listen within and this always directs us.

We become so accustomed to this inner, spiritual direction, that we move persuasively throughout our day.

We are able to work in a complete and thorough manner.

Anything which does not fit this model is discarded.

We attract the integrity and honesty in our clientele that we express in our business.

We project excellence and include timely completion in what we do.

We exult in the encouragement we provide through our strength and fluency.

We are grateful to fine tune our reception of good ideas and how to execute them.

As we keep taking our timely, tiny steps, we see results.

We are able to work more and more effectively as we communicate our ideals.

We attract others of like-mind.

Our embrace of what is good communicates itself naturally.

We attract uplifting elements to our business.

We spend less and less time figuring out how to do something, and instead, keep taking the next tiny step.

We are able to rest and relax as we complete each stage.

We can trust the Infinite to guide us in the best way.

This becomes a habit, and we are able to release worries and concerns.

As long as we continue to shine and to cultivate our best characteristics, we will continue to attract what is needed in a timely manner.

We can trust that we will see and experience the good in life as we continue to express it.

Your Diamond Mind –

Moving back into now

Trying to reconstruct or reconnect with the past is futile.

You are a new person now.

Live in the joy and satisfaction of who you are today.

You have taken the rigorous steps of reinventing yourself through your new connection with the Universe.

You are feeling a new sense of being loved, cherished, adored, appreciated and recognized.

You have taken the steps to move yourself to a new place, mentally, emotionally, and even, perhaps, physically.

You belong in your new, beautiful environment.

Of course you can look back to the past and make comparisons.

But do not spend very much time there.

Where you are is the important thing that is happening.

You moved away from your pain and replaced it with joy.

You moved out of your anguish and replaced it with appreciation.

You moved out of your frustration and despair and replaced it with fulfillment and happiness.

These are your new companions.

With these qualities, you attract those of like-mind.

They, too, are in a state of appreciation and recognition.

They are happy to greet you here.

They are the ones who surround you now, and make your transition one of completeness and happiness.

The old style feelings belong to an old style of living.

The new present style is your present reality.

Live fully and embrace where you are.

Let this feeling fill you completely.

You have done the work to move outward and upward.

Enjoy your new view.

Your Diamond Mind –

Lift up

Within your life, within your mind, you have the capacity to lift up.

Wherever you find your focus and attention, you move in that direction.

By practicing the qualities of good character, you naturally draw to yourself uplifting ideas.

These are practical and lead you in the direction of valuable service.

Your inventions expand the capacity for others to do valuable work.

You put the value of your highest characteristics into the uplifting work you do.

If you are a scientist your discovery will uplift.

If you are an inventor, your product will uplift.

If you are a dancer, your expression will uplift.

It you are a teacher your interactions will uplift.

If you are a parent, your commitment will uplift.

If you are in business, your service will uplift.

This approach tips the balance toward happiness and well-being for everyone.
