X. The Equality of Miracles, P 4
4 Perhaps you have been aware of lack of competition among your thoughts, which even though they may conflict, can occur together and in great numbers. You may indeed be so used to this that it causes you little surprise. Yet you are also used to classifying some of your thoughts as more important, larger or better, wiser, or more productive and valuable than others. This is true of the thoughts that cross the mind of those who think they live apart. For some are reflections of Heaven, while others are motivated by the ego, which but seems to think.

It is obvious to me now that this is true. I am sure that before I started becoming mindful of my thoughts, I never noticed this. I never noticed what an insane jumble my thoughts were, how contradictory, how perfectly useless many were. I judged my thoughts and categorized them, but I accepted them all because they were in my mind. I thought of them as mine and believed they defined me.
Lately, what I notice is that the ego thoughts are fewer and the God thoughts occur more than they ever did before. I think of love, of peace, of happiness. I think kind thoughts. I think of healing and atonement, and salvation. I think of gratitude toward God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, toward my angels, and my brothers and sisters.
I think of freedom. I think of awakening to the peace of God. I think of undoing the ego and letting my thoughts be corrected. I think of decisions made continuously and remember that I want to make them with the Holy Spirit and not the ego. I think about how the pain I feel cannot be real and must only be in my mind, and that the body is not creative and so cannot make itself sick. I think of fear thoughts as unnecessary, just as guilt thoughts are unnecessary and unreal.
I think how all things in my life are there by my invitation and that I can change my mind when I don’t want them there anymore. I remember often that the thoughts I think with God are the only real thoughts in my mind. I think how I can release the other thoughts and then disregard the ego mind’s desire to entice me to them again. I think how powerful my thoughts are and how anxious I am to keep only those thoughts that are true. I think how holy my mind is and how motivated I am to have it purified of all things ego.
