Human Beings are multidimensional. We think we’re just one dimensional – maybe two. We don’t see that there are hundreds of dimensions – all a part of the transitional process we call humanity.

One of the dimensions that defines our humanity is thought. Thought is always in transition. You can’t stop it, age it or hold it.

No matter what conditions exist in your life, you have an element of control over them. One of the mysteries for most people is how to make things outside of themselves work better. You can improve the outside circumstances through your thinking capacity – your ability to think.

Thought is an endless energy that goes on and on. And, once you know that thought defines who you are, I would suggest to you that you think about everything that’s ever happened to you up until this moment. And understand that all of it, up until right now, in this moment that you are alive, is in the realm of thought. You can’t touch any of it. You can’t have any of it back. And yet, it’s very real for you. You can get very emotional about it. You can even have experiences through that thought. But you can’t ever have it. You can’t ever touch it in the form sense. So that the whole experience of your past up until this very second is all in thought…and nothing more.

And yet, it’s very real. Then, I suggest that you think about everything that’s going to happen to you from this second on. And to understand that that’s also nothing more than pure thought. You can’t have any of that either. You can’t touch tomorrow. You can’t take hold of your goals. You can’t have those and dissect them and treasure them. You can’t take tomorrow’s BMW and drive it. That’s all just thought.

Since your whole past and your whole future are all thought, that only leaves you with now.

Now is how you think and what you fill your thoughts with. If your thoughts are harmony and ease and serenity and love, and that’s all you have to give, then that’s what you will be giving.

If you can learn to be a constant observer of your own thinking, you will reach your higher consciousness. This is the part of you that is able to stop yourself in the middle of anything that you’re doing. Say to yourself, “This isn’t the only me. This is just what I have to go through at this time.” I’ve got a glass of water and you say to me, “Is the glass of water real?” I say that the question is, not whether it’s real or not, but, “Does it slake my thirst? Does it serve me in the way that I want it to?” If it does that, then I don’t care whether it’s an illusion or not.

In other words, whatever helps you to make your life work, don’t argue with it. Don’t fight it. Don’t do anything with it, just stand back and have one little corner of your consciousness that says, “I’ve put myself into this act. This is the play that I am in. This is the role that I have chosen. There must be a reason for me to choose it, so I’m going to go through the role but I’m never going to let the role destroy me.”

That’s the key.

I truly believe that you can transform yourself. Transformation means the ability to go beyond your form. Trans-form-ation.

When you can see that, you’re much more than just form. You are able to pretransform what you are in this moment and what you may become in the future.

A lot of people think they are their packaging. And they believe that the package is more important than what the package contains. What the package contains is your ability to be anything that you want.

That’s what’s important.
