A betrayal of thought is the thought that wounds you. It wounds you the minute you remember someone or something someone did, said, or intended toward you.
It’s a re-injury. These are instances of the past that get re-lived as if they happened again and again and again. They dwell in the present memory when they wound you again.
These thoughts are no longer a past incident, in this case. They betray your sense of calm, rational self love.
Here’s how to solve a betraying thought.
1. Take responsibility for what’s happening. The first time someone wounded you is not your responsibility. But when it comes to your mind, this IS your responsibility. You are responsible for how often you relive an injury.
2. Take rest assurance in knowing that it is an over and done with issue. Meaning it happened and it’s not happening now. It’s over.
3. Take rest assurance that your wound will heal when you stop feeding it the injury. You betray yourself every time you feed an injury its wounded thoughts. Keep wounding yourself and you won’t heal.
4. Take rest assurance in your ability to control your own feelings. Know that your feelings are yours and nobody else’s. That means you get to do with them what you will. If you will to experience pain, you can injure yourself all day long if you want.
5. Take rest assurance that you’ll stop wounding yourself when you’re good and ready and no one has the right to tell you when that is. Only you have that right. It’s yours and no one else’s.
6. Take rest assurance that when you decide to be loving to yourself, you’ll tell yourself you don’t need those thoughts anymore. You’ll tell yourself how much love you’re going to give yourself by nurturing kinder, gentler thoughts.
7. Take rest assurance that you get to be the only one who decides when you feel true love. The love that is true is love that makes you giddy inside. You feel a sudden sense of joy, out of the blue, from no where, or no one. It’s joy that bubbles up in you for no apparent reason.
8. Take rest assurance that the love that bubbles up is able to do so because you’re not stuffing your spirit down, inside the thoughts of the brain. You’re giving it room to breathe in the life of you, rather than the thoughts of you.
9. Take rest assurance that you are the love that comes through you. You are literally this love. So when you are free of dark thoughts that wound you, you are free to be who you truly are, a love of being without end, without reason. You are the love of being for the reason of being.
