Big Mind and Think Big
I dont know whether I have a Big Mind or not. However, I can decide to use my mind to Think Big or not. I started to check whether my Think is Big or not. This tricky thought begins to trap me in to comparison and limitation. Rather, I try to sense the boundary of my Think. I like to play along with the boundary and check of my response internally and externally. May be there are still lots of room for me to expand. I believe the most important indicator of Think Big is whether I feel the Freedom of moving around in my Thinking process. Freedom is in fact the measure that I project for myself. What if I believe there are unlimited space for me to search as far as I can, and even there is a wall or barrier, what I have to do is just to look in to it and remove it after understanding, there will be no limitation of my sense of freedom. Well, I almost emerging myself in to a Big Mind.

Shopping makes me in Contraction
My daughter has come back from Canada for her summer holiday. Suddenly, I found I have increased my shopping with her and spending more money on the materialistic products. Both my conscious mind and heart give me a signal of uncomfort. I come to understand that Think Big is a luxury but free entertainment for me but Shopping Big is a hurt to my feeling and financial situation.
Rebel for Abundance
Followed Abraham's story, I also related teenagers' rebellious to the story of Abraham. If parents have faith in the forthcoming abundance, they do not need to treat their teenagers with a contracted mind set. Just to let go and allow the enlightenment to merge in. When teenagers grow, they will become an adult.
Parents' push to their teenagers will excel to the extent of destructive. Parents with serenity allows their children to transcend from contraction to expansion. Poorly, contracted parents nurture contracted next generations.

Abraham Tested
Attened Paul's Mindset Master Mind Group on Wed. When he mentioned about the journey of Unconsciousness --> Scarcity --> Enlightening --> Abundance, Abrahma's story was in my mind. (Genesis Chapter 22)
God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son, Isaac as a burnt offering. In those days, offering the first born was considered as the best offer to God. People followed it as the way to show their better submissiveness in a contracted mind set. Until the day Abraham has to offer his most beloved son, God sees it as a test. What if Abrham did not offer?
Abraham, however, decided to relax from his contracted mind set by saying to his son, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." when Isaac asked about where is the lamb. The moment of let go and relaxation enlightened Abraham to understand the abundance of God.
When Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to sla his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, "Abraham! Here I am, Do not lay a hand on the boy. Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son." Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The Lord will Provide.
The insight I got is Let Go (Be Effortlessness)and there is nothing insufficient if we know the Abundance is already provided.

Think Big requires Space
These days were tighter in schedule and jobs delivery. When there is less time and spce, thinking begins to focus on doing the details which I like to name it as "doing" than "thinking".
Does doing same as acting. If I focus on doing the details, does it mean I am delivering my acting already. Then, does it Big or else. What is the relationship?

Drawing with Chinese Character
I wrote Think in Chinese 想 then on top of Think, I wrote Big in Chinese 大 and then use the eraser to flip horizontally. It came the drawing of Think Big.
I wrote Think in blue ink then on top of it, I wrote Big in dark blue. Finally I covered both wordings by putting a light blue brush.

Think New. Think Big
I just returned from a support group meeting where we have decided two new things. All members contributed their ideas, provided feedback to each idea and polished it until everybody felt good about it. At the end of the meeting, everyone were highly motivated for the forthcoming event. I observed the process of Think New. To be Think New is one of the means of Think Big. Why Big? I guess everyone was so open to the thinking which is so big that nothing can stop our thinking flow. It is interesting that when we are Think Big, there seems no limitation. Thus, new ideas emerge to form a Big Idea.

Thinking Out of the Box
Thinking out of the Box has been a trendy saying for some time. Yet, are we practicing it? Or, do we know how to do it? Or, are there any barriers holding us to do so and etc. Finally, Thinking out of the Box remains a trendy term than a successful behavior change.
I like to relate Thinking out of the Box to Think Big. When I am thinking Big, is it big enough to be out of the Box? Or, what I was doing is only thinking bigger within the box.
I dont agree. I dont agreed thinking is an act within a box. If yes, the box is the limiting belief given to me by myself. More important is that do I aware I am giving a limitation to myself when I am thinking. I may assume thinking big will only happen if I let go all the limitations. Again, do I aware what and when the limiting belief dominating my thoughts. Over here, my body may be a good indicator. When I feel relax, I did let go.

A simple Thought works
Two years ago, I had a crazy thought that I dont want to do normal executive coaching but I want to coach Chinese CEO or the top in the companies in China. It sounds like some how of arrogance. However, I have a reason clearly in my mind. China is developing very fast in economy and industries. I think CEO is the key person to determine the company's direction. I hope these CEOs will bring China to an authentic and earth-friendly direction. It is amazing that few months after this thought, I was invited to coach a CEO to be and then CEOs.
Does a thought contribute any to the actualization of the project? or
Do I have an intuitive sensing of the market needs and development? or
Does it mean I am bold enough to speak up my dream so it was given to me? or.....
Recently, I met with my agent and I crazily told him that "Give me 10 CEO coaching projects a year. I dont want less or more." I did not prepare to speak about this but it was just spoken from my mouth and heart at that moment. Now this statement is in the testing period. When it realizes, I will write in here.
However, I am curious to know why comes the thought? What does thinking mean?

Thoughts on Paper
I have a blank sketch paper in front of me. I started my drawing with a pencil. I expressed my thoughts by adding more lines and shapes on to the paper. Once I did not like the shape, I used a rubber to erase part of the drawing. My thoughts kept on developing and felt good in certain moments. Finally a lady's face in 2-D was on the paper. It's not a master piece but I did my process of creation. Now, it is a picture that I feel proud of. I like to show to my friends and they may like it.
I shifted to see the process as if I am the blank sketch paper. I am a paper. You have put some lead power on me and created your story of picture. Your story makes sense to you but not me. Physically, I am still a paper. You may suggest to create my value by saying that I have helped you to realize your thoughts in to a beautiful picture that may last for long time and have impact on to the others. It is still your interpretation and I am still a paper.
I try to observe my thoughts on the relationship between thoughts and physical material. Thoughts or thinking is just a virtual activity making sense to human being. We are using some form of material (including our body) to facilitate the expression and create experience from our thoughts. Through the actualization process, we feel good about the being-ness.
What is the relationship between thought(s) and thinking? How does thought(s) relates to stories? I will explore it in next writing.

Control of associating = thinking
Interesting article about Thinking:
quote
We still know so little about the process of thinking and the structure of the thinking brain that any theory claiming to explain this phenomenon as a whole is hypothetical. Thus, our conception of thinking must also be treated as a hypothesis. However, this conception indicates the place of thinking in the series of natural phenomena and, as we shall see, puts a vast multitude of facts together in a system. The complete absence of particular, arbitrary assumptions, which ordinarily must be made when a theory includes a structural description of a little-studied object, is another positive feature. The core of our conception is not some hypothesis regarding the concrete structure and working mechanism of the brain, but rather a selection of those functional concepts through which a consistent and sufficiently convincing explanation of the facts we know about thinking becomes possible.
Thus, we assert that the appearance of thinking beings, which marks the beginning of a new stage--perhaps a new era--in evolution (the era of reason) is nothing short of the next metasystem transition, which occurs according to the formula

Thinking in Action or by its Organic System
When I did the quiet time exercise in a retreat in Taiwan in last Mar, we were walking in a mountain freely to enjoy the beauty of nature, no talking, no eye-contact and no information input such as reading a book were advised. At the beginning, I found lots of thinking snapshots were floating in the mind as is. I did not try to stop it but just let it flip while I was walking and connecting with the nature. After about 15 min, there seemed no more busy flow of thoughts, my mind became calm and easy. There were neither any particular urging needs for thinking nor busy thoughts running as is. Then, I felt the freedom. This experience taught me that I do not need to control my thoughts, it does its filing, sweeping and re-structuring if I have a moment of silence (stop inputting). Does thinking need to be operated in the thinking mode and system or thinking is just an automatic inner activity with its organic wisdom of merging and splitting within our brain. If this is true, will the quieter I am, the deeper thinking I will experience.

Stupid than Wise
Before think big, I like to explore how thinking is developed. There is a Chinese old saying that, "Three stupid fellows is wiser than a master." It gives me a sense of collective wisdom is more workable than a single wise idea. I believe it expresses the power of team work. This is exactly what we are doing in the Master Mind group. I had a preliminary idea, feel safe to express to the group, getting feedback, expanding my idea in the discussion, affirmed by encouragement, clarity on the direction, commit to action, keep on getting feedback, trial and error, gaining more insights, enjoy the journey, focus on the thinking, more relevant ideas emerging, express with more confidence, thinking beyond my limitation, let the Big-ness to carry me, it is light with the flow.....
