Weeds in the Lawn of Your Mind

Negative thoughts based in fear are like weeds in a lawn—a nuisance everyone faces at some point. Most “weeds” are hardy and reproduce easily, much like gossip or recurring negative patterns.

What is a Weed?

A weed is a wild plant—or a thought based on perception rather than Absolute Truth—growing where it is not wanted. It competes with cultivated plants—positive, loving thoughts—for nourishment (your attention). If left unchecked, weeds can take over your lawn (your mind) or garden (your creativity). Like all plants, a weed starts as a seed (thought) planted in fertile soil (your mind) to take root.

Why Weeds Grow

  • Wind (gossip): Seeds can be carried into your mind by others’ thoughts and conversations, where they settle and grow.

  • Water (emotions): Emotional release, tears, or crises can carry negative seeds deeper into your subconscious, where they germinate.

  • Animals (friends & family): Even well-meaning people may unknowingly introduce negative ideas, untruths, or habits into your mental space.

  • Bird feeders (gossip mongers): Persistent negative influences or repeated drama can plant seeds of fear.

The weed feeds on light (energy), carbon dioxide (feedback), and water (emotion/drama). The more attention and energy you give it, the stronger it grows and the more it multiplies.

Prevention

The easiest way to manage weeds is before they take root:

  • Apply pre-emergent chemicals (different perspectives): Protect yourself with clarity (eyeglasses) and detachment (gloves) when doing so.

  • Let your lawn grass grow high (raise your vibration): A strong, positive energy field will prevent weeds from accessing the light they need to sprout.

Caution

If left unattended, weeds (negative thoughts) can destroy your lawn (mind) and garden (creativity), making it difficult to restore balance and well-being.

Moral of the Story

Remove weeds promptly. Cultivate only healthy, positive, and truthful thoughts—the “plants” that align with Absolute Truth. When you do, your lawn and garden will thrive, reflecting beauty, clarity, and harmony for all to see.
