The Tools of Self-Validation

 

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…" Proverbs 23:7

The thoughts of a person are powerful. We create with our thoughts. We create joy, sadness, pain, and delight... nearly any emotion. Any level of reality we can conceive began as a thought. It is when we learn to control our own thoughts, that we effect our reality. It has been said that nearly every event in our lives becomes a matter of perception. The fact from two eyewitness accounts may be the same, but one’s interpretations of those facts are coloured by perception.

It is our perception of reality that enables us to function in this world. We are constantly bombarded with events that serve to change our perception of reality. It is when we are grounded that we do not allow these influences to change our reality.

For this present reality is but an illusion. It is an after-image of things happening outside of our immediate line of sight. If the mind were not the center of the being, the wellspring of the soul, then, why else would there be such verses about our mind, and the mind of Christ?

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds: ) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" II Corinthians 10:3-5
