Directing the Flood

I’ve noticed that whenever I’m in a great state of being in the moment, connected with the things around me, listening to God, that there was, is, and will be a flood of emotions that swirl around me.

 

A tidal wave of thoughts usually will come crashing through the party like, “I know I’m forgetting something”, or, “why did my friend say that to me 5 years ago”, or, why couldn’t I have waited for just a little longer, things would be so different now.”.

 

Just know Everything you need for the moment is available to you at that point. The floods come to take us off task. There is a small portion of them that we need because a lot of times they come up because they were not addressed properly. The floods of emotions and thoughts usually will take us out of the moment, and into the past or the future. With this distraction in play, we find that our connections to things become broken, and it is hard to get right back into it.

 

When we direct the flood, we can accept those thoughts and emotions not as a distractions, but opportunities to address certain things the right way, and connect them to the experience we are experiencing in the moment. When you are in control, you can accept certain thoughts, and guide them into a wealth of knowledge, and also view a thought and direct it to the “not right now” reservoir.

 

Ultimately we add the thoughts coming in as an opportunity to grow. When you are growing, you are gaining, and also living; but when you are not growing, idle or regressing, it is a slow form of deterioration, or not living.
