1030 TWINKLE TWINKLE—REVISITED 24

14G

Once I learned how quickly fear bends a mindset toward negativity, I began to resolve inner conflicts by identifying my own negatively focused trains of thought.  Each time I identify a darkly focused mindset, today, my think tank shifts toward seeking insight into creative solutions to which I'd previously been blind.

Each time fear is set aside, my sights widen to take in the layout of the entire field, and as thoughts shift from dark to bright, I find myself contemplating brand new possibilities, which strengthen my sense of hope.  As a heart full of hope re-energizes my spirit, my smile ignites.

Once my mind shifts from fear toward a positively focused attitude, time spent in solitude sparks creative solutions that brighten my view of whatever had seemed impossible before.

If you ask how a hopeful sense of creativity resolves inner conflict born of fear, I'd reply:  Time and again, creative thinking takes me to second base.  And once I've made it half way home, all I need is a power hitter to take me the rest of the way.  In short, two heads prove better than one when both take turns coaching each other to brainstorm on a positively focused track.  This fails to take place when both minds feel fearful at the very same time.

While reading my posts, you watch the intelligent portion of my brain re-examining mind sets based in fear until intuition identifies which mindset proves in need of reconsideration.  Example?  During the early sixties, I'd not dared to sleep with a man I'd loved until we were married. I dared not consider that because it was commonly considered immoral.  Currently, common sense suggests the wisdom of taste tests before vowing to connect with a person for a lifetime.  With a quick glance back through history we notice this shift in a mindset which had been written in stone for thousands of years.  

Please make no mistake, I'm not advocating sleeping around, quick divorce, committing adultery or open marriage.  What I am strongly advocating is this:  Upon identifying subconscious guilt trips, acquired during childhood, we can figure out how to satisfy our needs without allowing the haunting nature of unresolved guilt trips to beat us up.  As history proves that my bent toward creative reasoning has not yet taken another person to an unhealthy place, I believe intuition will continue to guide my path toward making decisions which will offer my spirit sound reason to thrive as the future unfolds.

Wouldn't it be great to free your adult mind of a guilt trip that has held your sense of existential freedom hostage ever since a godlike super hero caught you in the act of breaking a rule when you were a child?

Gosh, I sure do hope that this week's cornucopia of creative thought has injected my mind with the heartfelt sense of courage necessary to strengthen my resolve to sweep inner conflict, born of fear, out of my mind, so the adult I prove to be can gather a terrified, good little girl into the safe haven of my loving embrace rather than watching my adult mind regress into that fearful place of traumatized terror, which had rightfully usurped control over the minds of every adult who'd understandably focused solely upon the terrible truth of what Grandma was about to discover in the buggy, thus causing my entire support system to lose sight of a small child's need to feel reassured that she has always been and always will be worthy of love, and thus will she continue to develop a self assured mindset whereby she'll feel naturally safe to be true to herself both at home, at school and whenever Fate offers up a fork in the road.

Needless to say, that very last thought could only take place in a perfect world.  Since the world we inhabit is far from perfect, it makes sense to 'reraise' yourself while you're raising your kids—and if it's too late for that, you might want to make haste, reraising yourself, because life is short, suggesting sound reason for reconsidering certain mindsets, right now …
