Good Morning, all! A nice day here...70 mph winds last night!!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spa, wonderful sentiments! The idea that it is mind that is the key intrigues me. It is so much like what I have been saying! When one understands that we are what we think, we learn such wonderful power. To be noble or "godlike" is a direct result of continued effort in right thinking. It is the effect of long-cherished association with godlike thought. By the same process, we tear ourselves down and create a bestial, ignoble character through groveling thought. 

So many people look to some supernatural explanation or power for their life, future, condition or destiny, never realizing the answer lies within, not in the sky or in some all-powerful deity. In fact, just as you said, we are Creators! It is true. Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the soul which have been brought to light in this age, none is more gladdening or fruitful of divine promise and confidence than this:  Man is the Master of Thought, the Molder of Character and the Maker and Shaper of Condition, Environment and Destiny.

Although I've been reading a work of fiction, which at times I've been disappointed in as I had "figured it out" before the big reveal.  This next entry is something I find very interesting. Do with it what you will: Our minds were Created in the image of God. This is the great gift, and God is waiting for us to understand it. Alll around the world, we are gazing skyward, waiting for God.... never realizing that God is waiting on Us. We see ourselves as helpless sheep buffeted around by the God who made us. We kneel like frightened children, begging for help, for forgiveness, for good luck. But once we realize that we are truely created in the Creator's image, we will start to understand that we , too, must be Creators. When we understand this fact, the doors will burst wide open for human potential.  Just a late night thought from a bookworm. One I find as refreshing as what DF said a few weeks ago. Enlightenment.
