Your Mind is Your Own 11/30/20

Dear the mind interpreting the symbols we call words and letters,

Your mind is yours and yours only. Although, like many things in Witchcraft, there is a dichotomy to this.

A dichotomy is a basic push and pull—it is the idea that there are two factors that will constantly be at battle with one another. And I will get to why your mind is not only yours down below.

I get a lot of messages from people everyday about outside forces trying to influence their thoughts. Whether it is state-run propaganda pouring out of their screens, their abusive partners, or a negative entity like a demon. I hear it all. And I want to write a newsletter to all of you to tell you it is the last defense.

The soul or spirit resides in your noggin. Up there behind those wondrous eyes and your smeller is the essence of who you are. I was recently speaking with a medium who is quite famous (he appeared on the television show The Doctors to help them successfully solve a police case. Some of you may know him as the Psychic Lawyer.)

Anyway, he reiterated that the brain is the holder of the spirit. This made me think of everyone who sends me these messages.

Your mind, like your spirit, is your own.

You do not waste something so unique on unoriginal or intrusive energies.

Here’s why:

Even if you do not think so, you are easily corruptible.

So, instead of going outward here, I will go inward and tell a quick story about myself.

Some of you may have been around long enough to have heard me talk about my teacher. What you may not know is that I refuse to even speak to the man now.

When I first began my practice, we did all kinds of things: hours of sun-gazing, days and weeks of fasting, and hours upon hours of meditation to where I could no longer tell the difference between waking and sleeping.

For some of you younger Witches out there, that may sound fun. It is not. While it did help me build discipline around my practice, I was irreparably harmed by this stint in my life. I won’t go into details because most of it is health related, but I am not as whole as I once was.

This man convinced me that all this was necessary to have a deep spiritual practice.

I am here to tell you it is not.

You may be thinking that “I would never fall for such a thing.” And maybe you wouldn’t. The point of that story is to use your brain. Think before you act.

But, also remember one more thing:

There is a collective consciousness that we are all a part of

It may sound like I am contradicting myself here, but remember that everything you think sends out a certain energy. I went into this a little bit in last week’s blog post about the Morphic Field, but to simplify: We all exist within a field of energy that determines our physical, mental, and spiritual makeup.

So, you may notice the Greek God Atlas behind these very words. I put him there because it is the best metaphor for what I am talking about.

The way I view our minds is that they are our own, but what we think ripples out into the universe. Like Atlas with the weight of the world on his shoulders, we, too, hold that weight within our minds.

Do not let anyone corrupt your mind because if it happens, it will make it more likely for others to be corrupted. We, like Atlas, have this responsibility.

If you knew every thought you had depended on the health of the entire world, would you think differently?

Don’t let this weight hold you down.

The point of this lesson is to understand how important your mind is to you and the world, but do not become afraid of your own thoughts. If you do that, you will be no better than the people who persecute Witches. Those that kill the Witch, fear their power.

Like Atlas, stand up with this weight. Understanding does not equal burden.

I want you to be a free mind in this world, untouched by the taint of evil. When you realize how important your thoughts are, you will protect them. Don’t let anyone inside your head. Not even me, although I would never try to do this in the first place.

You have an innate feeling for people or evil entities. You can tell when they are trying to manipulate you. Do not fall prey to their spell. There aren’t enough Witches. We cannot afford to lose any of you!

Set your mind free of these worldly terrors and the weight of the world will feel like a feather.

Love + Blessings
