“The
more you think, the more you're creating outflows, which makes it
more difficult for you to see, when you are self-honest and when you
are deceiving.”
This
is an interesting point as I often do not know what to write about on
my daily writings because I simply cannot 'think' of anything. Could
it be that I am thinking too much and therefore am not able to see
where it is that I am being 'self-dishonest'? I, of course, do know
the answer to this.

“So it is critically important within the point of the secret
mind, that you have to walk through a time-period, where you are
cleansing yourself”
Does
this mean that I need to go through a period of time where I stop my
thoughts as much as possible?
3.
“That means, you're stopping your participation in all forms of
creations or thoughts, that may have outflows of desire, so that you
may see, what you have already created”
Wow,
this is cool. Its not just stopping all thoughts, its stopping my
participation on all forms of creations or thoughts that may have
outflows
of desire. It
is interesting to note that just the idea of me trying to identify
thoughts that have 'outflows of desire' strikes a bit of fear in me,
as I fear that I cannot even identify these thoughts and
'creations'.
While some I can identify, I
fear that I cannot
identify
them all
because I am not sure
that I can see all the out-flows
of desire
associated
with each thought,
especially in the moment as they are coming up.

“...So that you may see what you have already created” -
So,
back to my first point: I go 'blank' very often when it comes to
writing self forgiveness because I just cant 'think' of anything.
Then I go into fear because I know there are things to write about
(and when I say write, I mean any form of self-honesty/self
forgiveness, IN practice, whether it be writing or speaking, etc),
but I cannot come up with anything. So, then I go
into fear
of
myself,
or fear that I am too-far gone to be able to stop my thoughts and my
self-dishonesty. And the fear is then further proven to me as this
seems to continue.

“Stop it (thoughts and creations that have outflows of desire),
and that you can see what influence your world, that you are not
creating and also so that you can create only that which you are
going to stand by and for which you will be accountable”
-
I would love to be in that position!

“You cannot play on words, or on movements, or on thoughts of
desire to deliberately deceive and tempt other beings – please stop
doing such things, because you're not harming them, unless they give
permission
for it – but you do harm yourself in being unable to trust
yourself because you are creating more and more distrust within
yourself because you're playing games to apparently have some form of
outflow that you Desire”
–
Ahh, this must be a 'creation' that he made reference to earlier. In
this case, creating distrust in myself because of deliberately
deceiving or tempting other beings because of my own self-interest
and self-dishonesty. This
is definitely something to explore.

“Now – in observing the secret mind, understand that the Secret
Mind is your opinion about things that you think about – the
opinions you form, is Secret Mind. You are basing your opinion on
various inputs: experiences, words, things you've read – all kinds
of things. But if you really look at the opinion that comes up –
the opinion you form. It is judgmental, in nature. I has the
principle of 'good' or 'bad'
Again,
another area for me to have a look at.
I probably need to carry a notepad with me and write things done as
they come up because my opinions, thoughts, judgments, 'creations'
come-up during the day and then I forget by the end of the day.
Ok,
I will pick up later...
