There is Nothing Outside of Yourself That you Want

What is out there that you want?

What is out in the world that will fulfill your needs and desires?

Where is it?

Can you pinpoint it?

Can you touch it?

Can you see it?

Taste it?

Feel it?

Where is it exactly, this thing that you want?

In the world that we live in, we get caught up.

I myself included, with beliefs that there is something out there that we want.

And we come to want it so much.

We want and want and want and crave and want some more!

But where is this wanting?

And what happens when we get where we want!?

Well, where is it?

Deep inside, our wants spring forth from us.

They form into desires and shoot off into the world.

But our wants come back to us.

They come back to us in the form of love.

Light, money, education, knowledge.

But where do all these wants take place?

It is here, inside us.

Our wants are really things we want inside of us.

Isn’t it so?

When we want to be beautiful, we want to feel beautiful inside us.

We want to feel the attractiveness, we want to feel loved and excited and wanted.

But all of these feelings are happening inside us.

They are always inside us.

This made me wonder.

If everything we want creates a feeling in us, whether it be joy or love or peace, do we really want the stuff outside of ourselves?

Or do we just want the inner feeling?

Do we want the inner joy, the inner experience?

The inner revelation?

The inner peace?

The inner love?

The inner connection to God?

Isn’t everything really inside us?

I invite your comments, let me know what you think!

Our Radio Station of Thoughts

Where do negative thoughts come from?

I often find myself asking that very question.

I’m sure I’m not alone by the surprise of a negative thought that seems to come out of left field.

It can be a bit odd and startling sometimes.

I used to think it was random.

But now I have a different perspective on thoughts.

I like to think of thoughts like this:

Think of ourselves as having a big radio receiver inside of our heads.

And using this receiver, we can tune into different radio stations that can play any number of ‘thoughts’ we can imagine.

As humans, we can tune into any station of thought that we want. Some of the stations we are more accustomed to than others.

Other times it may even seem like we’re channel surfing, going through station by station to sample thoughts, to get an idea of what the station is like.

Using our inner radio receivers, we tune into the vast array of stations available in our universe.

This begs the question, which stations are we tuning into the most?

For instance, stations that make me feel good, or connected and closer to the Source, are a top priority to learn to tune into more often.

But from time to time I seem to get some quirky or otherwise strange stations.

While it may seem over whelming at times, I’ve come to a simple conclusion.

What I’ve learned from these ‘other’ stations is that you needn’t worry too much when you tune into the stations that might not be uplifting; just remember that you are merely tuning in, and you can change your station at anytime.

One easy way to change the station is think of anything that is uplifting. Or ask your mind, or guides or however you gain guidance, to show you a better or more uplifting station.

And merely tune into that station and enjoy the new lovely thoughts!

For me, the effects have been palpable!

So when you think you’re becoming overwhelmed by negative thoughts, you can change your station anytime you like.

Just flip the switch. So to speak. :)

Let me know how this works for you!
