Sacred Enclosure

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Your own mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by your promotion."... Ralph Waldo Emerson

This I believe is true... but on bad days things may cross the threshold of even the most well guarded brains. Unwanted notions that take root, build a nest, and raise a family do so by invitation only. Positive can totally fill any depression that negative digs, but we have to man the shovel with all the strength we can manage.

Humans are bundles of nerve endings and offence is easily taken were none is intended. Hell, there are so many variables into every event that occurs in our lifetime. I know what flips my switches and what happens next if I allow human nature to take its course. And knowledge is power.

Knowing the limits of loved ones helps us to separate what should get our goat and what cannot. Teaching them our own limits helps avoid misunderstandings on their side of the relationship. Mind control is the exercise of processing thoughts in a way that eases our soul. Wounded animals are dangerous and the same can be said for humans. We can be satisfied to be simply a blind reaction to events, or we can get hold of ourselves and aim for loftier territory.

It's really our choice. When we truly take responsible for whatever calm or war is going on inside of our own core, we police our brains much differently. The best thing you can do to guarantee a sacred enclosure is to redecorate the temple then don't invite any more squatters to your church. Think about it... Let it ride... Then decide!!!
