I recently read this quote (it didn't say the author)- written by a man who was told this by a spiritual teacher. He said that it was life changing for him and when I contemplated this simple statement, I too realized the potential impact.

To me, the statement "Be of Pure Mind" means to be reliant upon the inner source of peacefulness that lies within you. It means to be cognizant of how you feel in any given moment and to follow what is resonant to you. It means to keep your mind free of judgment, attachment and emotions. It also means to keep your energy free and clear of the opinions, expectations of others. When you live in a state of acceptance, love and gratitude, you give that out to the world- and that love flows through you. When you operate in this flow, you will draw to you the experiences that you need, and you will continue to create the life you desire. We know that we are now increasingly responsible for our outer creations. All one needs to do to test this theory is to pick up the "buzz" that is out there in the news about the economy, the environment and other things- mix that with the negativity from co-workers or family members and then see how you feel.

Now, imagine this alternative scenario. While being aware of the outer world that is indeed experiencing upheaval- you continually stay tuned to your inner world which functions in peace and solitude. Knowing that the daily news may directly or indirectly affect your life in some way, it is only an external event. Staying in a place of non-judgment about these events will help them pass through without attaching to you. Knowing the TRUTH and staying connected to your inner source will be the key for transcending the events that are and will be playing out in this world.

What has typically been your pattern of response, when faced with the barrage of external noise? Becoming very conscious of your energy and being in a heart centered state is something to strive for. Look deep and you will discover where you are still giving away your energy. Call back all of your energy- with love and visualize a permeable membrane of the vibration of love surrounding you.

Think of your inner world as a portable sanctuary- one that remains within you and is impervious to the outside energies that are serving to distract you. Your inner world is the doorway to the source energy that seeks to emerge more into the physical world. Retreat into this sanctuary as often as possible during the course of your day and allow it to be bathed in love- where you can weather the storm.

Remind yourself to Be of Pure Mind- to not be in judgment of yourself or others, to allow clarity and focus to be part of your experience, to be calm and centered, to breathe deeply, to allow stillness to envelope you. Be of Pure Mind- it will allow your heart to guide you along the path. Attach not to the goals and motives of others but simply be attuned to your own heart at every turn.

Instead of tapping into the fear vibration that is out in the world, make the CHOICE, consciously, make the choice to tune into the LOVE vibration that has been increasingly been filling your heart. It is by turning away from the extraneous noise that will help guide you through the next transition phase for humanity.

By choosing to BE OF PURE MIND, you learn not to engage in the emotions of others, you are more self-aware, you become more conscious of your own energy body and you can make choices not to attach to the thoughts and feelings of others. This is life-transforming when you embody this in the everyday life as you constantly stay in touch with your inner source. There is such purity, joy and deep calm in this inner state and nothing can ruffle you.

Stand tall be in the full radiant magnificence of your own Presence. Allow the light of your pure mind to transform your world and the world all around you.
