I love this quote from Tut (http://www.tut.com/). It is so true. I am reminded of this as I write my talk tonight. Whether we are imagining, envisioning, remembering, or projecting - our thoughts and feelings determine our reality. Even our physiology is altered by the thoughts we entertain – or that entertain us. When holding on to a resentment, or recollection of a frustrating experience, our bodies react as if the offense was before us rather than behind. We become tense, our blood pressure and pulse can change, and different parts of our cerebral cortex are activated. There are no idle thoughts – as A Course in Miracles states.
Tonight I feel tense in my back and shoulders. I can either relax in a hot bath, do some stretches, or begin to soften the thoughts I am thinking. If I choose the physical approach, it will affect my thoughts. If I choose to move my thoughts into a more pleasing place, my body will follow suit. I love that we are such a reliable system. Who invented us anyway?
