I realized I always used to think aloud
It was wrong I was told & felt at times
I realize now what was right about it
Over the years I have started taking responsibility for what I think!
Aligning thoughts to higher truths
The freedom it brings is amazing
For now what I think is what I say
What I say is what I think aloud
Not a care but know it very well
Thought and word of intention
Is how I contribute to Creation
That which I call my world and reality
Emerges from thought, word & beyond
As if built brick by brick
One wonder & one moment at a time
This habit of mine I think served well!

Thank you very much Laura for taking the time 🙂 Yes the freedom of saying exactly saying what we mean and think, translates into confidence. Often we are also tied down to our conditioned mind and that is not in alignment with our higher truths.

I think this is really a problem for people who are used to be always in company and always talk together with others what is right and wrong. It surely takes time to find his own inner truth. But this does not concern youur original post, that you do what you think and say what want to do, or?

It takes awareness and practice to align your thoughts to words and to what you speak. Most times one is caught in the web of differences in thought and speech. Happy is a person who has both in sync with each other!

Curious as to your thoughts as to whether thoughts are a null of stillness, maybe productive thoughts keep you still, but its our ability to know when we’re sinking into ‘noise,’ instead of simply being compassionate with ourselves. Hmmmm… what do you think 🙂
LikeLiked by 2 people
I love your choice of words here!
I think awareness of when we are sinking into ‘noise’ is the key here. Those thoughts are mostly not in alignment with our higher truths but a product of our conditioned mind. Compassion to ourselves is even more important here because judgment doesn’t serve us.
Yes, thoughts are an activity of the mind so can be the null of stillness. Productive thoughts that give us peace are in alignment with our higher truths and that is why to be able to access them and speak them continually is so much freedom in living.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment 🙂

Taking responsibility for his thoughts and pronouncing them aloud is a great thing, but it must first be learned. It is difficult for me to put my thoughts into words, as the thoughts fly and the incentives for the thoughts overwhelm you in a number of ways. You probably have to first find a good filter, what you take as information, otherwise you are overwhelmed and rushes busy only with information. Processing is thus out of the question, not to mention to bring your solutions into your life.

I love your words – have to first find a good filter – that is the key! We are usually processing things through the filter of the conditioned mind and opinions of others. The filter needs to be continually cleaned to align more clearly with our own truths. Awareness itself can eventually lead you to ways of slowing down your thoughts so they become less overwhelming. Thank you very much Anie for sharing your thoughts!

Well, if we have basic ‘truths’ within us: honesty, integrity, fairness, kindness, etc…. and this is where our thoughts are centered, and we speak from these truths…then what we say, what we ‘do’, should align us to being an honest, fair, kind, etc kind of person. What we say matches what we do. What we do matches what we believe. What we believe we, we truly are.

Thanks Colleen, yes that’s right, what we think and pronounce we also should do. There is no doubt about that. Sometimes, however, the statements are general: actions are always very specific. Therefore, of course, must always be considered exactly what special action to the general statement fits, right?

It sure takes a lot of practice to align your thoughts and words for there are those little weeds of negativity that creep into our being and slowly and gradually make its way into our words and thoughts. A very thoughtful message, Pragalbha.
