"Things are thoughts" is a quote from a friend who was told that by a shaman in the jumgles or Equador recently.
So if our life is cluttered with things, our mind is cluttered with thoughts more than likely. An uncluttered mind is a more peaceful mind. Spirit is not thought, yet Spirit can be expressed by words from the Creative Intelligence of a peaceful, listening mind.
This is another reason my Mother "spared me" (a favorite phrase of one of my favorite teachers - Byron Katy) when she virtually left me out of her will.
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
