I hope I can put into words the thoughts I had today while cleaning my garbage disposal as it became an interesting experience! You might wonder, how can cleaning a garbage disposal be interesting? Interesting because of the thoughts I had while cleaning. Food that sometimes has been refrigerated too long and goes bad goes in the disposal. Sometimes good or left over food goes in the disposal similar to good thoughts put into our mind. Turn the disposal on and instantly it is gone except for what we don’t see. There is a guard protecting your hands from being injured at the mouth of the disposal. This guard also protects the food that molds and gets under the underside of the disposal guard that we cannot see similar to the guard or “the watchman at the gate” of the great subconscious domain guarding from mistaken impressions. The garbage disposal looks clean on the outside but it’s a mistaken impression! We can only remove the mold with Clorox and paper towel continuously wiping and cleaning away the molded food that is hidden and throw it away. As I was cleaning, my thoughts were thinking about the mental diet. The good food we put in our thoughts and the molded food that may be surfacing from others and even ourselves can accumulate if not guarded. “I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.” Just like the mold that can build up on the under side of the guard. It becomes contagious and grows underneath the guard! The mental diet is like the Clorox removing the molded thoughts so clean pure positive thoughts can be replaced. My thoughts were that if my Mental Diet is in order, everything else will be in order also and that the Mental Diet is more important than a food diet!! So, as I went back and reread the Mental Diet, it was confirmed. “The most important of all factors in your life is the mental diet on which you live. It is the food which you furnish to your mind that determines the whole character of your life. It is the thoughts you allow yourself to think, the subjects that you allow your mind to dwell upon, which make you and your surroundings what they are.” Past thinking, like the mold, can surface, but we have the POWER to choose our life. We have the POWER to create. Create? Who? Me? You? Our Environment? Yes, everything will change! We must train ourselves to choose what we are thinking always! We must clean the mold daily, hourly, minutes, seconds.
I’m so grateful for the tools I’ve been learning through the Master Key Program. My thoughts are even positive when cleaning the garbage disposal!! Not that I don’t have to use the Clorox often, but I can do it! I’m grateful for linking and connecting words when I see them that I haven’t noticed before. I’m grateful for my grandchildren that are OBSERVERS as they teach me. Mia,
my three year old granddaughter knew I had misplaced my keys with the automatic door lock remote. I had been using a key without the door lock. I found my keys and when we were driving, she noticed the keys with the door lock in the ignition and asked, “Grandma, where did you find your keys?” Without the Master Key I probably wouldn’t have thought about this, but I thought about how observant children are. After school, they like to go get a cookie. As it took me longer to help Mia put her shoes on before getting out of the car, Havyn was at the door of Kneaders to go in. She was waiting for me and Mia. As they were eating their cookie, a lady came over to us and thanked Havyn
for holding the door for a very elderly petite lady with a seated walker. She expressed how hard it is to help and hold the door at the same time. She appreciated Havyn, a thoughtful five year old. As we left that day, there was another lady there. Elegant in appearance, white hair and dressed in a black long skirt and jacket. Havyn said to her, “You are so pretty! I love your dress!” The lady talked to her a moment and thanked her for the compliment. Walking out, Havyn kept telling me how much she liked her hair and her skirt, and jacket in great detail. Children are so open. No cement!!
Great day! Great thoughts! To become as a little child like the child’s birth we celebrate this month and have faith of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen to guide and determine my actions that I may receive more inspiration. PecorelliPower to believe my desire has already been fulfilled and that its accomplishment will then follow!
