he country is getting ready for the presidential debates. This reminds me of the debates constantly going on in our heads.
Some of your topics may be: "Should I ___?" "Why can't I___?" "Will this work?" "Have I got enough?" "How can I do this?"
Your mental debate is off and running. At the end of the day, is it a surprise that you are stressed and tired? Debating takes a lot of energy.
Keep in mind when you are engaged in these debates, the voices you hear inside are based on memories, which is the past, and perceptions which are usually wrong. Perceptions are based on looking at life through our colored lens, which includes how we were raised and experiences.
The egoic mind loves these debates because it keeps you spinning around, and it stays in control.
So how do you deal with these hard life questions? You don't.
When you start trusting your Higher Self, Spirit, or whatever you may call your Beingness, you won't have to engage in debates.
It works like this.
You ask Beingness a question like, "Which way should I go?" or "What should I do?" Then you release the problem and know that the right answer is on the way.
Your mind which engages you in debating an issue, doesn't know. So it's a waste of time rolling around trying to figure out the best of both sides. If it knew, the answer would come instantly.
The famous study of average people and geniuses is a story I love to tell.
In the 1960s there were two control groups. One with average people, the other with people testing in the genius category.
Both groups were given a problem to solve.
The average group sat up all day and night trying to figure out the answer. They were debating among themselves and in their heads.
The genius group all did different things. Some went to take a nap. Others went to a show or out to eat.
When the time was up. Both sides came back with their answers. The genius side was correct. The average group didn't have an answer to the problem they were given.
The lesson here was this. When you relax and let go, instinct from your Higher Self thinks through you. It can't do this when you are tensed, stressed, and trying hard to find solutions. You block not only the answers, but your own good.
Let go, and let God, then you won't have to debate.
