Have you ever watched an old rerun on TV and were able to recall what was going to happen next in the sitcom even though you hadn’t watched the show in years?

In surfing across channels, I’ve glossed through old reruns of shows I watched when I was a kid. Often, I could instantly recall what the show was about and what was going to happen even though I hadn’t thought about that show for 30 years.

There’s an interesting spiritual lesson in this occurrence.

A friend pointed out to me recently that this instant recall of old scenes implies a whole lot of memories stored up in the human mind that linger in the background hidden away from conscious thought, but nonetheless are present.

In thinking through the ramifications of such a state, it became clear to me that not only might the human mind hold a pot load of good memories in store, it could also hold a truckload of bad memories, recollections that are not screaming for attention daily, but are still trolling the passageways of background thought causing hidden harm.

What to do about it?

There’s only one certain solution that I know of.

Get out of that mental house!

Get out of the human mind into the divine Mind.

In divine Mind, the memories are always good, spiritually inspired, and promotive of health, harmony and well being. There are no haunted chambers of thought in divine Mind from yesterday to plague prosperity today. There are only impressions of spiritual reality, God’s goodness, and present peace. Staying in this Mind is the antidote for the old re-runs of mortal mind.

So, “come out and be separate” as Paul instructed. Come out from the belief that you are a human mind carrying around a bunch of mortal memories, some good and some bad. You are not a human mind beleaguered by troubled mental images. You are a reflection of the divine Mind, a consciousness filled with spiritual good.

The only “reruns” going on in divine Mind are everlasting scenes of peace, heavenly comfort and spiritual joy.

Enjoy the show!
