Hello Ethan,

Just take a look at where you are right now at this moment. This is indeed a fractal of the greater Creative Expanse of Space. This moment, the state of being Right Now and being aware of that Being, is part of a repeating pattern that goes on for infinity into the past and present. The gears shift one second. Creation is totally remade again from top to bottom in that one moment. Because Creation is always changing, it is a constant fluctuating mass. Not really good or evil, just what happens and what comes as a result of what happens again and again forever.

But you don't have to worry about moments of the past or the future because all you need is this moment right now. It's where all your power is and all your potential. If you can meditate, meditate on the awareness of thinking. Realize you are the observer watching your thoughts. You are not your thoughts, and you are not your body, and you are not your mind. The True Self is the Observer that watches these things and everything else outwards into the world, from one perspective at a time. The Lord looks out through every single sentient creature's eyes (I say from every atom's eyes) so he can perceive the lived experience of all matter.

So, gripping the Present Moment tightly in your awareness and having emptied the mind of human needs and wants (just for a moment) you can allow yourself to imagine anything at all. I say it is Imagination, full and totally, that is tool God uses to shape our world. Every calculation of energy and matter possible dwells within the mind of God, and everything is possible in this Imaginative Creative Field. You only have one perspective at a time in your imagination. In God's imagination, every possible perspective is seen simultaneously and perfectly because He is present from every other possible angle in existence.

So learn who you are now, the self that watches, crucified to a body you aren't sure you asked for but have now anyway. You don't have control over what happens to you but you can control what goes on in your head. Most people don't but it's important to see what thoughts are running through your head all the time. Dirty water leaves up gunk in the pipes, so too do harmful negative thoughts in the mind gunk up the spirit. So be mindful of your thoughts and correct them like a loving parent.

Usually it goes like this: You are presented with a desire or opportunity. You think about it and consider what needs to occur for that opportunity to be successful. Your self worth is what's going to define how that situation plays out. How that situation plays out is a fractal of the larger portrait, from your perspective. What happens in real life is a permanent occurrence in that point of time, but to God everything is malleable.

I've been going to therapy and the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is straight Buddhist mindfulness or a science of observing the mind. The thoughts that go through your head are the echoes of your spirit in you. If your spirit in you is bad, then your thoughts will be bad. You can change this and it's usually the result of being mired in the world, getting caught up in desire and losing faith.

So, literally, use your imagination and think about anything you want or are worried about in life. You are allowed to imagine a scenario where you have everything you want and everything is going good. When you are not in control of your thoughts, you are usually automatically imagining awful futures for yourself or full of doubt and constant recalculations. 

You are a potted plant and you are watering yourself with poison when you are not monitoring your thoughts and letting hate or doubt slip through unchallenged. No, water yourself with happy futures and success. If you commit sin through adultery in your heart, will you not be rewarded for good things done in your heart as well? So pray for yourself and pray for others earnestly. 

It's God first, Love second. People don't know who God is. I tell you God is the Ever Present Awareness behind Creation. If he is the Seed then our Imagination is a fertile field for him to die in and bring forth 100 fold yields of harvests. You reap what you sow. You become what you think about. Trust me, the ones with eyes to see can see everything a person has been mentally eating. It makes up your being like a mold that you grow into.

at the point where you start becoming aware of the nature of the mind, I believe you should stop consuming external media or limiting it based on what you actually want to consume. Like an experiment, you don't know which factors in your life produce which effects on the mind. You can only learn this with practice and experience, but it is not hard to do.

Earlier I was doing some chore and messed up and said something like 'I'm so stupid' and then I told myself 'wtf did you just say to me' Like you can be actively hurting yourself if you don't get a hold on the thoughts in your head! An argument with a friend in your head is you mentally restructuring your relationship with them, you are reforming your image of their personality in a way you can accept. Or else the mental argument, or really just any interaction with your feeling of a person in general, is basically spiritually significant. As if it had happened in real life as it were.
