Thoughts going through your mind aren’t yours. They belong to your past, the collective, or the higher mind. When you aren’t present-minded, you allow your mind to connect with the thoughts related to the collective or your past experiences, recreating negative loops of thought forms.
On the other hand, when you have a mindset of presence, you become a clear channel to higher thoughts. In other words, you align yourself with the source energy and become available to the creative energy.
