Tranquil Spirit, Northwich, Cheshire, UK - Spirit Communications: Peace of Mind

Spirit Communications through Trance Mediumship/Channeling:

Peace of Mind

A recent postal question prompted a follow on discussion regarding the possibility of achieving a calm and peaceful state of mind:

Q: Is it possible do you think for all thoughts to cease to exist and the human mind to be peaceful. Is that possible for a human being to achieve?

Hai: But you need your thoughts, you need your mind, as you know. But it is a matter of keeping them in balance like a three horse chariot. We must allow the middle horse, the wise horse, the balanced horse to hold the day, to run the race and pull the others in it's track. If we can achieve balance in our thoughts, balance in the mind; this is what is needed, this is what is needed. But we need our thoughts, we need our mind. For we are living in the ephemeral world and even in the spiritual world we need thoughts. Thoughts are our power, are our means of communication, are our connectivity.

Q: Do you think the human mind spends too much time going over the same points again and again and again?

Hai: It is like you walk along the street and you step on some chewing gum that some kind soul has deposited there on the pavement and you cannot get rid of it. You feel it under your feet, you feel something under your feet. You scrape and you shake. You move your feet around, but it will not go, for it is stuck to your foot. It a bit like that with thoughts, the negative thoughts which people have. For they become obsessed with a particular thought, especially perhaps with a 'what if' thought. A "what if this?"; a "what if that?", "what if I had dome that?". These thoughts are very sticky. But this is not helpful, not helpful. It is best to examine these thoughts then put them to one side, for there will be no end to them. You could become so obsessed with one of these thoughts that 20 years later it would still be rattling around your head.

Q: I knew someone who was like that.

Hai: Well is this not great pain? Is this not great torment? It is like as if we say to ourselves: "Oh what an awful day that was! The sky was thick with dark clouds which threatened rain and threw rain on us all. What an awful day that was!". And their friends says to them: "Ah, yes indeed, it was, but that was one day many months ago and here we are sitting in the glorious sunshine of the blue sky". But you see my point? You can become so fixed on that one bad day, that awful day, that you loose, you miss the Now, the glorious Now.

Q: If people did have more controled minds would it add to the peace on the earth? Would we be more peaceful?

Hai: It would be more peaceful if people could have calmer minds. But reality is people come to this earth to learn things. If everyone could have calm still minds when they came there perhaps would be no need for them to come. It is by living the life of this world that they learn such things, hopefully. And therefore we must live our life, we must learn from our life. We should not be too worried about our mistakes. For if we were to make no mistakes what would be the point of being here? We are put here, we are sent here, to be refined in the furnace, into glorious precious metals. But what would be the point of putting pure gold into the furnace? To what purpose would this have? None, yes? And so with us also. We must make our mistakes. We must have forgiveness for our mistakes. We must accept our mistakes. For we came here to make our mistakes, to learn through those mistakes and to grow through those mistakes. Therefore, we should also not be too quick to point the finger: "Ah look what he did"; "Look what she did". For we hope they are learning through their mistakes and we also through our mistakes, which perhaps we are not so quick to see, to recognise. I have made you all quiet.

Q: I was just thinking about the quiet beautiful mind.

Hai: Quiet mind reflect the beauty of all around it like limpid clear pool of water, unruffled by the interaction of the scene.
