Placing our thoughts on Jesus is in a way, in reverse, listening to his thoughts, within us. This is the paradoxical nature of thoughts, as we never really do know whose thoughts they are anyway.

Where do thoughts originate, do we think original thoughts, or do we just rethink God's thought's, and then think that they are our own?

Can we ever be sure that our thoughts are really our own thoughts, or not?

If God is one great oneness, it must mean then that all thoughts are originating from God.

This is what he means when it is said in the Christian bible that God was the word, and the word was God. This interesting statement of truth is to be found in Saint John's gospel, chapter 1, and verse 1.

" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

All thoughts are God's thoughts, placing our thoughts on Jesus, is allowing God, or Jesus to place his thoughts within us.

" All that we are is the result of what we have thought."

- Buddha

This idea is typically Buddha, who only reached upwards as far as the Universal mind area, mostly ignoring the existence of God.

Buddha was mainly only interested in showing us how to live a better life whilst here on this Earth plane. There is nothing really wrong with that, but in my view, it in effect restricts us from knowing anything higher than our own thoughts, by not allowing us to recognise the real thinker of these thoughts, and which of course is God.

Thinking by itself does not make us anything, unless we follow that thought, by thinking that it is ours, and so we think that it must always be followed, when we really could always just let it go. This is our only real freedom, to be able to choose to take on board a thought of God's, or not.

The truth is that the truth can be described by thought, and then you might see this description as being the actual truth rather than just being its shadow. This also is what happens if you think that you are only your thoughts, you are being the shadow self, and not the originator of these thoughts, or the God part of yourself. You are not these thoughts, they are generated in you by God's energy of love living in you giving you these thoughts in the right order as spiritual lessons for you in to help you grow into learning consciously the truths of God's love.

Fixing our thoughts on Jesus is all about allowing his thoughts to be carried out within us. This is doing God's will, by following his thoughts. The way to effectively pray is to listen to God
