“No man can rob you of the liberty of your own mind.” (131:3.4).

Lesson

Thought Adjuster: “How do you treat your mind? Do you use it wisely or do you abuse it foolishly? Your mind is an amazingly complex organ, as its outreach goes far beyond the limits of the material world you live in. You lead both an inner and an outer life and the way you run your outer life says much about the quality of your inner life.

“Your mind generates an endless stream of thoughts that determine your ambient emotional climate, as thoughts are keenly associated with the colorful palette of human emotions.

“Where are your thoughts taking you? Are they enticing you to partake in a mental rodeo aiming at ejecting you from the saddle of your self-control? Or have you developed sufficient inner skills to quickly bring these mental rebels into submission?

“What a vast practice field life offers you! Moment by moment, experience by experience, you have to decide for yourself how to engage your mind in order to constructively respond to what pops in the range of your perception.

“No man can rob you of the liberty of your mind. In spite of the truth of that statement of fact, many of you let it happen. They let others or unwelcome situations trample their inner world and shatter their inner peace.

“Learn to pick up on the early warning signs of such unwelcome hostile takeovers! You have the power to deflect them and steer your human skiff back to emotional safety.

“You are the captain of your ship. This is not a cliché. It is an empowering statement if you stop and think about it. Nobody can ‘make you’ think anything unless you allow them to. Surely, ill-intentioned peers can deprive you of your material freedom and enslave you in many iniquitous ways. Yet, your inner world is out of their reach and presents you with a welcome escape pod. By turning within whenever the going gets too rough, you will benefit from My soothing influence. I am the soothing presence to whom you can run for comfort.

Closing

“I AM ever-present! I AM always on call! By turning your mental spotlight toward Me, you will be flooded with My Light — a powerful deterrent for the darkness that previously threatened to engulf you — body, mind, and soul.”
