Gotta Monitor Your Feelings


Some people have gotten used to monitoring their thoughts and catching themselves when they’re thinking negatively. But few monitor their feelings. When people are feeling distraught, that’s when arguments and violence happen. So you and others have also got to catch yourself as soon as you start to feel bad, judgmental, hurt inside, sorry, or uncomfortable in any way. It could be a subtle feeling or outright anger, but it’s all the same, and it’s always the ego.

And as soon as you notice it, you need to stop. You want to stop thinking with the ego. If you’re watching TV and see a terrible news story – like tsunami or an earthquake decimating an area – you need to stop and switch to the Holy Spirit. Think of the Holy Spirit in your mind. That’s where the discipline comes in.
