Question:
What do you have to do if you get a cut on your hand?
How do you make your hand heal?
We all know that the only thing we need to do if we get a cut or a scratch is…
Nothing.
It heals all by itself.
At most, we might put a plaster on it. But the plaster doesn’t really heal the cut. It just stops other things infecting the cut. All we really need to do is sit back relax and within a few hours or a few days, the cult will begin to heal and before long…
…You may not even see the remains of it.
The body has an in-built immune system. It’s a self-healing system.
Almost everybody knows this.
What most people don’t know is that the mind is exactly the same.
The only thing we need to do for the mind to heal, when it falls into illusion and limiting belief and self defeating thinking is…
Nothing!
It will heal all by itself because a quiet, connected-to-God mind is our natural state. Thinking changes all by itself, from moment to moment. That’s the nature of the mind. The problem is that we normally don’t leave it alone. When we face inner turmoil, we try to fix it. And the first way we try to fix it is we try to find something outside of us that made us feel bad.
This creates the “Psychological Illusion” that we need something outside of us to feel better again.
But we don’t.
The only thing we need to feel better again is…
Nothing.
We’ll feel better again automatically, even if nothing on the outside changes.
(But only 100% of the time.)
We even say to children when they cry: “What’s the matter?!”
And the moment we say that to the child, the child looks around for something that they can attribute their upset feelings to. The truth is that nothing caused the child’s feelings.
They may project their feelings onto the ice cream that they didn’t get or the toy that another child took, but the truth of the matter is that as soon as their thinking changes… as soon as their attention goes somewhere else… as soon as they have fresh new thinking, they let it go and…
…the whole mind goes back to its baseline of quietude and clarity and before long the child is more joyful than before.
No matter how dark your thinking gets, you are literally only ever one thought away from ‘switching’ back to normal again.
This simple psychological fact has tremendous implications for our lives.
Deeply understanding it necessarily deepens our connection with Allah turns us into the best version of ourselves and has a dramatic impact on our relationships.
