In a vision during my meditation today, I saw a jockey begin to fall off of his horse. Perhaps I witnessed something in real time...Perhaps it is a metaphor for something in my own life...Or, simply a teaching I envisioned to share with others...As I sit here at my computer I bring that image to my heart and ask my Higher Self for guidance on the meaning behind the image...
Our minds run like Wild Horses, who is the jockey that is going to manage and tame it, and ride with it? You can not tame a wild horse by letting it run free with other wild horses. In other words, you can not tame the mind in the mind or with the mind...No thought you have is going to manage the unmanageable... Another approach must be found, one that goes beyond the thinking mind. In order for the jockey to stay on the horse, to manage and to tame it to become one with it and make it useful, the jockey must not be of the same mind as the horse, or together they will both run off course.
The jockey must come from a pure place, from a place of devotion, from a place of discipline, from a place of understanding and respect. The goal of the jockey is not to break the horse or create a demise of the mind but simply to work with it and elevate it into a champion. The jockey lies in our own heart and emanates Love.
Let the jockey guide the horse, let the heart guide the mind. You will notice and elevation of your thoughts. Just as the jockey and the horse become a team your heart will team up with the mind and there will be no need to eradicate mind, for it will only mirror and obey the heart.
