Ever heard the saying, ” Seeing is believing?” It’s really more like believing is seeing. Your mind creates reality out of thin air. The ideas and expectations that you visualize today become your lived experience tomorrow because you imagined those plans into reality.
Remember when you planned that road trip with two of your best friends. You took the actions to save your money, rent the car, check gas prices, secure hotels and even look around for amusement parks on your journey. The week arrived and you took the trip with no major problems. In fact, you all had the time of your life and took way too many selfies. Three weeks later, as you smilingly reviewed all of the photos, you realized that your past vision and efforts made that week happen. Those experiences could never have materialized unless you created them out of thin air. Those memories are forever stored in your mind until you stop caring.
Remember when she left you for another guy, but lied and said she just needed space? Remember how he told you not to tell anyone and you did so the police came and got him? Remember how sweet cherries taste when you pick them from their tree on early June mornings in the summer? These memories exist because you mind or care for them; they matter.
Someone once told me that the Arabic word for “forgetful” or “losing one’s memory,” is also the same word for “human being.” That word is “al sana.” Sounds like the root of insane, yet when you lose your mind, you lose your life. The memories you create exist in the ether (the mind of God) and the mind of others who value those moments. People you see, by their nature, are mental creatures and are subject to forget. It’s the forgetting that is the reminder you are human. By caring and loving, you are able to rely on God’s great mind to guide and support you; you are not alone.
You can release the hard memories and cherish the ones that bring you and others joy. If you do not care or are in a state of constant denial, you do not mind. Your mind becomes disengaged and forgetful. The ether, the heavenly matter, no longer resonates with your thoughts. It doesn’t matter.
If you do not mind or take care of your thoughts, like depigmentation of the Substantia Nigra which follows, the etheric connection dissipates and memories no longer not matter.
Never stop caring, loving and taking risks. Always try to work just a little bit harder, faster, slower, smarter and try to play the same way. Your life is the walking, talking lotto ticket that you won (there was a million-to-one gamete ratio that day; you won) so live every day like the alpha-zillionaire that you are. Keep your mind well-nourished, active, and up-high. Mind over matter because if you mind, everything matters.
