To experience expansion and growth in a New Year, you must believe in your heart that you can. No surface, casual, simple wishing will make it so. The mind responds to the power of your belief because belief becomes faith when the basis of belief is enforced by a spiritual premise to give its possibility credence.
It requires a newness of spirit to sublimate the uncertainties of old patterns of thought into a new dynamic energy able to lift one beyond what has been to what can be. In short, the need is to be fueled by the fire of one’s own spirit or, more specifically, the Spirit that is the Presence of God within oneself.
If we are to be rescued from a jail-like existence in our own mind, we must receive the inspiration of God from the sanctuary of our heart.
Dr. Paul Leon Masters, Starting Anew: The Metaphysical Dynamics of Beginning a New Year
Can it be that simple? If you want to make a change, you must believe in your heart that you can. Notice Dr. Masters logic…the heart is what informs the mind. The mind responds to the heart…the home of belief and faith…the home of the Presence of God.
The heart is the place from which love and compassion and all things good and true and right come. But too often we get stuck in the mind…the mind that looks out into the world and decides what is good and right and true based on that view.
The heart, however, takes no direction from earthly conditions and situations. When we drop our busy mind into the calm center of the heart we are able to discern with clarity and declare with certainty that which the Universe Itself has already prepared for us. We need only to become aware of it…and believe it…with all our heart.
My prayer is this: Let the inspiration of the Divine overflow from your heart and guide you effortlessly to your highest potential.
All is well
Paula
