Hi. This is Francisco Bujan from VitalCoaching.Com. We are talking about spiritual power and the topic for this video is how to use your mind wisely. This is one of the key questions of almost any spiritual seeker. When you start for instance, maybe, dating you hear very often that you have to stop your thoughts and stop your emotions. Suppress all that and bringing in peace and silence in your mind. So, the key question that rises are thoughts and emotions about things about your spiritual evolution. And, this is the question I want to answer here.
The key idea when we talk about the mind, I mean, this is at least my opinion than something that really worked for me in my spiritual development and in the teaching that I am giving. It is that you need to master your mind, right. You need to position yourself from spiritual perspective and put the spirit in the center or core of your life. This means that your mind becomes a light, it becomes a health, it becomes a tool, and it becomes a vehicle that you use. And this vehicle is the vehicle of your personality.
Very often within spiritual circles and especially within the Eastern Cultures, you will hear that the ego is a bad thing that the thoughts and emotions are the hindrance on your spiritual quest and on your spiritual path, not in my experience. It is not that it is different than that, in my experience thoughts and emotions are very positive thing, they are very good thing. They are the architecture that sustains your personality and if it was not for them you will not be able to function within this world. Now, yes, you can tune your personal vehicle and kind of tune in to a higher octave of existence when you realize that there is a perfect synchronization between your spirit and in your mind. It means that your mind not only becomes a force that works against you with emotions and thoughts you do not control at all that it becomes rather something of a force and a tool which is totally synchronized with the long-term goals of your spiritual evolution.
And, this is the moment where you feel within that empower of your life. If you work within a system where you try to suppress thoughts and emotions and you know anything that has to do with the ego or you just start fighting a battle which is ongoing and it is really a terrible battle with a part of yourself that you want to get away from. And, it might be it does not really work that way.
In grace of all aspects of your personality and use your emotions as a source of energy which is going to help you progress on this spiritual path. Something like spiritual ambition for instance, it is something that originates within the mind, right. It is a desire that you have an inert desire to progress on your spiritual path. Now, this desire is a force that it is going to help you conquer these territories with lots of passion and a lot of excitement. If it was not for this desire, you would stop straight away, right. There would be no need to move so you would stop then your life will stop. So, what keeps you going is really the fact that there is a quest, there is a desire, there is a need and this need comes at least in part from the mind on the mind level. This is the tool or vehicle which has been triggered by these questions and it is because of this quest and this desire that rises within the mind and within the emotions that you start searching for answers. So, all that when you put in that kind of conflicts it totally makes sense and it is totally powerful thing and it is a positive thing.
So, when there is the idea that the ego or the mind is a bad thing. I think it has to do with the fact that when you are meditating, if you feel like you are trapped within thought patterns, you know. Thinking loops, like I describe them earlier in all the videos. When you are trapped within this thinking loops that eventually you do not manage to really break through so what you have to do is to be able to function with your mind and adding different qualities than just thought patterns because if you function within this reasoning circle and actually you can get stock. So, what you need to do is access other ways of using your mind, which is manifesting peace at will for instance or using your instinct or power more or you know tapping in to this sense of knowledge and experience just by touch. There is a lot of ways of using your mind which are extremely sharp and extremely powerful and thoughts and patterns are only one aspect of the mind which is only way of using it. So, there is much more of this stuff. I will be back soon with more answers. Take care and goodbye.
