The power of mind lies within all of us. Through the medium of thought every person alive has the power to access incredible experiences, insight and understanding, to find answers to their problems and to find their own well-being.

One widespread infection that plagues us all at one time or another is fear. What is fear and what brings it alive in us? Consider what it would mean if there were a way to neutralize the effects of fear. What if fear originates within our own mind as a cluster of thoughts that bypass our common sense. All that is necessary to make the mind pure is to undo the negative conditioning to which it has been subjected; then we will be left with pure, unconditioned awareness.

I invite you:  don't look at the pat answers to your life questions - the ones formed from memory or "learned" thinking. Look at what it means to have the ability to think at all. Consider the function of Thought and the ability we have to use that function to be as creative as we want in designing, developing and living out a reality that can offer us a consistency of contentment, calm, joy and love. Whether you are struggling with weight management, having issues with family and friends, or are not satisfied with your work environment - look to your own inner wisdom for the answers to having more calm and control in all areas of your life.

The fear that we experience in life is not "out there"; rather, it is "in here". It is your state of mind that is causing you to hold onto that fear. We have the means and the ability to extinguish that fear and replace it with any and all of the positive feelings that we want to be experiencing. Gain an understanding of state of mind and you have the tools to decide your life experiences - not have outside circumstances be the determing factor. Maintaining serenity and calmness is not freedom from the storms of life but the ability to have peace amidst the storms.
