Choose Your Ground part 2 of 3

WHOOSH!  SCREECH . . . CRASH BANG ### PULL THAT CAR FROM THE TRACK!

Not so fast partner all those cars are connected!  Let’s look at that track more closely.  Each car represents a thought pattern, a problem, a worry, a fear, or a myriad of other things that contend for your attention. 

You think, “If I just think about and resolve this one issue it will be OK”.  What will really happen may surprise you.  That one car will pull toward the track of all the other racing cars.  You will find yourself caught in the cacophony of sound, which pulls you back into the cycling reasoning, tension and fear. Why?  Because your determination to resolve the issue through your own thinking places you squarely on NATURAL GROUND.

Think about it.  You hear the roar of the engines and the screech of the tires and you are drawn to those thoughts . . .  “Just think about this for a little bit . . . if you could only resolve this you will feel better . . .”   The baited trap entices and you decide on just a nibble.  Like the mouse trying to steal the cheese . . . snap goes the trap.

Take some time to think about the Indy 500 track on which your thoughts compete.  Seriously, think about it and make a list of what keeps cycling around.  It is important to understand and personally identify how these things work in order to conquer NATURAL GROUND and learn to live on RESURRECTION GROUND.

COME ON NOW, STOP AND MAKE THAT LIST!
