Introduction
It is a very good moment when we discover that our
intentions to work on ourselves or to practice come from our mind.
This is a very good moment because now we can understand why
we fail in those intentions. It suddenly all makes sense as to why we have had
the good idea of changing or stopping a bad habit and then we end up after a
week or less giving up on the idea only to fail again.
Only when we realize that this or other intentions come from
the mind can we begin to change that situation and break the cycle of new
intention and then failure. The ideal is to always to come from and work from
the heart. The solution and a large part of the work is moving the work from
the mind to the heart.
Before we do this there is usually a battle between the mind
and the heart and this battling is really very taxing.
From Mind to Heart
When intentions are born in the mind and do not go to the
heart there is not enough genuine force or motivation to give a lasting support
to the work of fulfilling the intention. This is because the mind does not have
as much force as the heart and also because the heart is more intimate and is
more us than the mind.
The mind is very changeable while the heart is not like
that. A thing that is in the mind can be forgotten and displaced by another
thing, though what enters and lives in the heart is not displaced or forgotten
and definitely does not disappear.
Battle of Mind against Mind
When our intentions come from the mind we end up in a battle
of one part of the mind against another. We want to fulfil our intention but
then resistance appears, of which the mind plays a major part.
As soon as we formulate our intention and try to act upon
it, there is resistance that struggles against this intention. After the
struggles comes failure and then there is the mind again lashing ourselves for
having failed. This cycle can go on for years.
To stop this cycle we have to be very sincere with ourselves
and delve deep into our psychological depths and ask ourselves if that
intention is really something that we want to fulfill. Look for the heart to
answer.
Constant interiorisation and constant focusing on the intention
helps us to transfer it to the heart. Mind you for something to be transferred
to the heart it has to be goof and just. This is because the heart won’t accept
something corrupt and wrong.
Conclusion
We have to always move our intentions from the mind to heart
where consistency, permanence and integration is conferred to us in relation to
fulfilling that intention. These are the qualities of the heart and we have to
put our intentions into our heart.
When things are in our heart we become unstoppable in trying
to achieving them. It is very difficult to get dissuaded and all obstacle are
eventually overcome. The big battle is to get the intention to enter into our
heart. But once there, we are rewarded with focus and a line of achievements to
occur in time is laid down before our eyes.
