The life of a holy person ' a mystic or saint ' is a lesson
in ending the control of the parasitic mind and accessing
the spirit within. No matter the belief system '
Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, or any other
spiritual path ' the best-known mystics of each cosmology
are said to be in a continuous dialogue with the essence of
spirit, living in what some refer to as "non-ordinary
reality" ' they are open to perceive much more than what
they are observing through their eyes. They have traveled
the spiritual path to attain a level of consciousness and
clarity that is uncommon. That path is not easy, but no
matter what they encounter along the way, none of them have
ever desired to return to their previous level of
consciousness.

If you study their lives, each one of these mystics
encountered their parasitic minds (awareness), exposed the
illusion of their parasitic mind's creation
(understanding) , and changed how they were in the world
(reconditioning) , resulting in a higher level of
consciousness in which they transformed their lives.

You have the same ability as any of these mystics. Like
them, you have the power to control your parasitic mind,
canceling unsupportive thoughts and embracing
self-empowering thoughts. All of what we have been talking
about so far leads to one simple reality: You can choose
consciousness.

So, if you can choose consciousness and it takes less
energy to have positive thoughts than negative, why would
you want to be focused on the negative aspects of life or
anything that detracts from being conscious? If you are
aware and understand the illusion you have been creating,
and still aren't having the results you want for your life,
mostly likely the parasitic mind is still in control. This
is because being unconscious is a habit. To stay conscious,
you have to continually exercise new habits.

As you question the mind and are able to free your energy
from fear, you will see incredible changes. Your health
will improve, you can resist illness, you can heal
yourself. When you are inspired and enthused, every moment
becomes a wonderful experience. The more you question the
parasitic mind and remain open, the more the energy flow
builds. Eventually that energy will start to pour out of
you, through your skin, radiating out of your heart and all
your other energy centers. You start to see the change when
you walk into a room and other people notice something
different about you. You are feeding them your flow of
energy. You are a source of light for those around you; you
are becoming the change you want to see in the world.

You don't have to wait another moment to decide that your
life would be better if you choose to adopt new thinking.
Take back control. Become the leader of your consciousness.
You no longer have to listen to the parasitic mind. Create
new thoughts to replace the stories the parasitic mind has
tricked you into believing.

Through facing your fears, developing awareness,
questioning the parasitic mind, and creating new habits to
replace the old, you will learn to stay open to all that
life has to offer. Once you realize there is nothing worth
closing your heart for, you will stay in the flow of love,
joy, and happiness.
