Something to Think About
HAVE YOU SWALLOWED ANY SNAKES RECENTLY?
There's an old Zen parable about a foolish peasant who was sent to visit his master's house. The master brought him into the study and offered him some soup, but just as the peasant was about to drink it, he noticed a small snake in his bowl. Not wanting to offend his master he drank it anyway, and within a few days fell so ill that he was brought back to the house.
The master again took him into his study and prepared some medicine in a small bowl which he then gave to the peasant. Just as the peasant was about to drink the medicine, he noticed another snake in the bowl. This time he pointed it out and loudly complained that this was the reason he was sick in the first place. Roaring with laughter, the master pointed to the ceiling where a large bow was hanging. "It is the reflection of the bow you are seeing," he said. "There is no snake at all."
The peasant looked again and, sure enough, there was no snake in his bowl, only a reflection. He left the house without taking the medicine and regained his health within the day.
When we accept limitations about ourselves and our world we have swallowed imaginary mental snakes. And they always real... until we find out otherwise. Once your subconscious mind has accepted a belief or idea, whether true or not, it will continually feed you thoughts to support that belief.
Our mind will distort our perception of reality to make it conform to our beliefs. Think you are worthless? Or that it's hard to make money? Believe you are susceptible to poor health? Your mind will find irrefutable evidence to support those beliefs and will work overtime to manifest those realities. On the other hand, if you believe that you are a winner, or that there's money to be made everywhere - if you believe in your own vibrant health - you'll find yourself surrounded by equally strong evidence supporting those beliefs.
SO CHOOSE YOUR BELIEFS WISELY!
