Morning Pages

Introduction

In 'The Artists Way' by Julia Cameron there is a practice called 'morning pages'. Write 3 pages every morning for so many weeks. I can't remember the exact number, 12 weeks seems to be in my mind, but that may not be correct. It doesn't matter to me the detail of timings, it matters that I have set an intention to write in this blog every morning. I won't get to 3 pages that often as I type slow and I have a busy schedule, but my promise to myself is to write here each day, allowing my creativity to flow and letting the Divine presence work through me in ever greater expansion.

The thing Itself

"Thoughts are things, so pick good ones." This is a phrase I hear often. I also experience peoples reaction to that quote, some of whom agree with it and know it in their daily lives, some of whom utterly disagree. Ultimately it may or may not be true but if you had a thought that supports you and your life goals versus a thought that doesn't support you, which one does it makes sense to select?

We live in an age where quantum science, cell biology and neuroscience all provide evidence for this quote. It is also an underlying truth in all ancient wisdom traditions. In the Christian Bible Jesus said, "It is done unto you as you believe."

Yet, regardless of any perceived evidence, still we are each at choice in every moment regarding what we believe and how we think. AT CHOICE. We are not robots who must follow the programming put into us by those who have raised us, or educated us. We have free will and choice in any moment. From a young child my father would tell me that no one 'makes' me do anything. I am always at choice, even with a gun at my head, I have choice. It may not seem like much of a choice to some, that depends on your view of death (not for today's conversation), but it is still a decision making point. As a younger person I never really understood what Dad was on about, especially when he was 'making' me do home work or cleaning. But here I am, older and wiser with a clear understanding of the choices I have in every moment of my day.

Today I chose to live from unconditional love, I honour the Divine in everyone I meet and I am overjoyed to have met the first day of my commitment to me in writing this blog.

Be love. J x
