some notes on obsession

Spiritual resource to share: Spirit as the only attraction

Have you ever had ruminating conversations in your head or obsessed over a situation or individual?

I have found these ideas helpful when working to free myself ( or others) of this hypnotic pull.

I always start prayer by reaffirming what I know about God, and in this case, I track with the idea that God is Mind. This Mind is all-encompassing, all-inclusive, and all-acting. I take this further to reason that Mind demands expression. Just as the sun doesn't shine with out the rays, so Mind doesn't exist without its manifestation.

Mind is self-creating and self-assertive.

Because Mind is synonymous with the gentler quality of Love and Soul and the foundational qualities of Truth and Principle, I grow to trust the Mind of God. I see that I am the idea - or manifestation - of Mind.

There is a natural attraction to Mind - and all that God represents: Soul, Spirit, and Life. It is natural to see the expression of Love grow and bloom everywhere and every time I am conscious of this, I feel a release. I learn to trust this power of Love and trust it to be made manifest in the way that will bless others.

I see that there is really one attraction and that is of Spirit. I can only be attracted to spiritual ideas. I can affirm that all God's children can only be attracted to Spirit's ideas.

With this understanding, it is easier to see that I am not attracted to ruminating arguments or cyclical reasoning, or the pull of the thought of personalities. As these ideas only lead to themselves and are not productive (only destructive), I am alert to detect their unauthorized entrance into my thought and can dismiss them.

I affirm again, that the only real attraction of a spiritual idea (me) is to other spiritual ideas. I understand and follow the leadings of Truth and Love.

My role then is to yield to the omnipresence of good, trust its self-asserting nature and let my thoughts and actions be governed by Truth and Love, by God.
