Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hi April You're right - I really didn't explain myself too well. Your comment below " Nothing wrong with this, but if we realize it, then we realize that everything we do is perfect. " , is what I was trying to say. The " other " part about " thoughts " - thoughts just all by themselves have no power. This is correct (in my opinion). I have proven this with a particular exercise over and over again. But, to go on what I had more or less left out except when I used the word " intention " is - what seems to have the power is the " intention " , " emotion " and " importance " one places on the thought(s). To me this is what is trying to get across with the inspection part. We are so busy with the emotional package aspects that we forget we can change our minds - in a blink of an eye. The reason we cannot get away from being perfect is because we manifest who we are being, our stories, etc., no matter what. If one really wants to dig around, there is " always " a reason why something happens. Something terrible happens in someone's life - well, it was perfect. Who knows why - maybe there's a bigger picture involved, maybe it was a weird solution to a problem, maybe it was that person's turn to experience something - who knows. But it was " perfect " because that's the way it was created or thought up or done. If anyone can disprove to me that before ANYTHING happens in this universe (or any other universe) it had to have been thought up first by a someone (even if its a God) or group with or without a body, let me know. Was I somewhat clearer, or did I muddle it up again. (Not always good in the " word " department).
