BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, May 12th, 2025 by Danielle Rama Hoffman in THE COUNCIL OF LIGHT

“It is up to you to have fun, to find the fun in it, to find the joy in it, and if you have the curiosity to look for what is fun you will find it. If you are looking for the stress or feeling of being overwhelmed in the situation then you will find that as well. It is all about what you are looking for in each moment. It is for the fun of it these days that you are working; it is for the fun of it these days that you are in relationship; it is for the fun of it that you spend time with your friends and your family; it is for the fun of it that you travel; it is for the fun of it that you have kittens, or plants; it is for the fun of it that you take a shower; it is for the fun of it that you eat; it is for the fun of it that you exercise; it is for the fun of it that you drive; it is for the fun of it that you do or don’t do anything.

Saying that you are doing something for the fun of it carries an entirely different energy that if you say it is for work, for finances, or for the saving of the planet. Those all have a different frequency of tonality than simply saying that it is for the fun of it. When you say it is simply for the fun of it – and that it is so much fun – then you’re able to allow things to be what they are.”

“If you want the people around you to experience your power and recognize who you are, listen to them with your heart and do not worry about the impression you are making on them. Care about them, and attend to them. Pay attention with your heart, and focus on how you may raise their consciousness and energy.

True power can be seen in the eyes. There is such love in the eyes of those who are truly powerful, and they look at you directly. They do not avoid your eyes, but look straight into them. You feel they really care about you. They pay attention to what you are saying. Do you give that kind of alert awareness to people? Do you pay attention? Do you look in their eyes when you speak?”

Sanaya Roman, in “Living with Joy”

BONUS “BEST of” PONDER on THIS by Tama Kieves in A YEAR WITHOUT FEAR

“Crave answers? I’ve seen people slap and patch together decisions just so they could leave the wilderness of not knowing. Hungry for certainty, they sign up for programs, go back to school, take the job that’s offered, rather than stay honest with themselves. These forced answers will come apart with the first strong wind. Id’ suggest letting go of the need to figure out what you will do with the rest of your life. What do you know just for this instant? Each moment is a bread crumb that will lead you to the gingerbread house.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, May 8th, 2025 by Fr. Anthony DeMello in AWARENESS

“What kind of feeling comes upon you when you’re in touch with nature, or when you’re absorbed in work that you love? Or when you’re really conversing with someone whose company you enjoy in openness and intimacy without clinging? What kind of feelings do you have? Compare those feelings with the feelings you have when you win an argument, or when you win a race, or when you become popular, or when everybody’s applauding you. The latter feelings I call worldly feelings; the former feelings I call “soul” feelings.

Lots of people gain the world and lose their soul. Lots of people live empty, soulless lives because they’re feeding themselves on popularity, appreciation, and praise, on “I’m O.K., you’re O.K.,” look at me, attend to me, support me, value me, on being the boss, on having power, on winning the race. Do you feed yourself on that? If you do, you’re DEAD. You’ve lost your soul. Feed yourself on other more nourishing material. Then you’ll see the transformation.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, May 7th, 2025 by Mark Nepo in THE BOOK OF AWAKENING

“We are at best filled with the divine, but we have only two hands and one heart. In a deep and subtle way, the want to do it all is a want to be it all, and though it comes from a desire to do good, it often becomes frenzied because our egos seize our goodness as a way to be revered…Helen Luke speaks to this when she talks of the trap of good works. She refers to “those who take refuge from themselves in an unreflective pursuit of good, pouring all their energy into the redemption of society and other people, while blind to their own personal darkness.”

It seems the old adage is a place to start: Do one thing and do it well. Though I would offer it as: Do one thing at a time and do it entirely, and it will lead you to the next moment of love.”

“Banish the illusion that certain professions are inherently better than others. A job or profession is only better or worse for YOU, depending upon your tastes and values. There are people in every field who are happy with their work and others who are unhappy with it. The key is finding work that matches your values and challenges your capacities. Finding the inherent meaning in any work is one of life’s great blessings. More accurately, you don’t FIND meaning in work; you BESTOW meaning upon your work.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, May 5th, 2025 by Tama Kieves in A YEAR WITHOUT FEAR

“For most of us, moving beyond fear is not an overnight shift. It’s not a pill. It’s a practice. It’s a pilgrimage. It’s a commitment to fill our minds with the new conditioning, new perspectives – basically, the ideals that set us free.

By the way, fear, as I’m talking about it, isn’t just terror. It’s insecurity. Shame. Anger. Bitterness. Guilt. Frustration. Anything that blocks your peace of mind or joy. Or holds you back from what you desire. People ask me, “You mean I shouldn’t ever have fear. What about normal fear like when I see a tiger?”

I’m all for your natural and brilliant instincts. I bless the fight-or-flight response that saves your life. I do not bless the kind of fear that destroys or drains your life. There is a difference. Likewise, I bless the healing face of grief or the kind of anger that moves you toward actions or awareness that serve your wholeness. I do not bless emotional states that keep you stuck.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, May 2nd, 2025 by Eckhart Tolle in THE POWER OF NOW

“When you are on a journey, it is certainly helpful to know where you are going or at least the general direction in which you are moving, but don’t forget: the only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That’s all there ever is.

Your life’s journey has an outer purpose and an inner purpose. The outer purpose is to arrive at your goal or destination, to accomplish what you set out to do, to achieve this or that, which, of course, implies future. But if your destination, or the steps you are going to take in the future, take up so much of your attention that they become more important to you than the step you are taking now, then you completely miss the journey’s inner purpose, which has nothing to do with WHERE you are going or WHAT you are doing, but everything to do with HOW. It has nothing to do with future but everything to do with the quality of your consciousness at this moment.”

“Spirit is not something we get from our work as much as something we bring to It – and it’s less about WHAT we do than HOW we do it. As Martin Luther King Jr. advised, “Whatever your life work is, do it so well that no one else could do it better. If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, like Shakespeare wrote poetry, like Beethoven composed music. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper.”

Turn your work into a form of personal and spiritual growth by doing it exceedingly well, in the spirit of service to the world.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, April 30th, 2025 by Sara Chetkin in THE HEALING CURVE

“Fear does not keep you safe. It only holds you back. When you begin to open up and allow for something unfamiliar in your life, something you may fear, you have a better chance of experiencing truth. I mention this because I spend so much worrying, so much time in uncertainty, that I prize the moments when I can say, “this is it, this one piece of the puzzle is solved.” I feel released from fear when I come to a realization about my own harmful belief systems or when I find a healer who is implementing real change in my body. At those times, I see the value of the path I have chosen. I understand how much I’m learning.

These little breakthroughs come in all shapes and sizes. I am always grappling with the natural laws – the law of attraction, divine providence, anatomy, and physiology. Nothing is too far out. Nothing is unrelated to the all-consuming quest to understand my life. And the more earnest I am in my quest, the more open I become to every possibility. The more open I am, the more every moment appears as an opportunity to experience grace. But these moments of grace don’t occur unless I break free from my habitual perspective: my “comfort zone.” You have to open up in order to see some change.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, April 29th, 2025 by James Redfield in THE CELESTINE PROPHECY

“If we find ourselves hanging on to the need to blame parents or siblings anyone else in our early lives, it is usually because blame itself is a part of our control drama. We can’t go forward and continue to expand our energy because blame always throws us back into the old drama.

Only forgiveness can fully liberate our potential to go past these repeated scripts that waste our time. And I believe that forgiveness must be expressed and demonstrated to be totally freeing. Many therapists recommend that we write a letter to everyone that we blame offering our forgiveness. That doesn’t mean we have to spend any time with this person; such acts just create closure and clear the air for a new life to begin. Forgiveness reinforces the higher witness awareness that we have acquired. The key to forgiveness is simply acknowledging that everyone was doing the best he or she could at the time.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, April 28th, 2025 by Don Miguel Ruiz in THE FOUR AGREEMENTS COMPANION BOOK

“During all the education we receive, which means all the knowledge that is programmed in our mind, we create the concept of the I Am. Everything we believe we are, everything we know about how to be a human is the I Am. The Toltec call this the human form. We are not talking about the physical body, but about our own dream. When we say, “I am a man; I am a woman; I am a human, and this is my whole reality,” everything is judged by that knowledge, and of course, the dream becomes hell. This is the drama of humanity.

The dream of our life is so limited because we take all the power of our creation and put it in a little box, and with all our power we seal the box. And we live inside the box, trapped inside that little box. Well, that little box is the human form. It is our creation, and all our will is invested in that I Am.

Your faith is so strong that when you believe, “I am never going to be this,” thy will be done, you are never going to be that. If you believe I cannot do it, thy will be done, you cannot do it. Whatever you believe, you put your faith in that belief, and your faith will make it true.”

“How many times have you said to yourself, “I just got a hit (or a hunch, or a gut-feeling) to go there.” And so you did; you went there, and then found out it was a good thing you did. You were following your Guidance. Or you got a crazy idea to try such-and-such. And you did. And it was a success because it was fun. You were following your Guidance.

But you don’t have to be starting a new business to have ideas, or hunches or insights. Whether your Want is to find the fastest way around the traffic downtown or to find a new mate, all you have to do is pay attention to the signs that will come to make it happen, AND LEARN TO TRUST THEM!”

“The greatest challenge in life, in spiritual practice, or in any field of endeavor is how to turn what we know into what we actually DO. It can take years to consistently live according to what we have learned. In sports, we may understand how to swing at a ball, or shoot a basket, or do a somersault long before we can actually perform it. This is also true in the skills of everyday life.

We practice, we make mistakes, see the results, and practice more – until we begin to make fewer or smaller mistakes. This is the process of bringing wisdom to life through action, whether learning to breathe deeply, or to behave with kindness and compassion.”

“It’s time for a change, at least that’s what people think. It’s New Years and people want to change something about themselves. What if you can’t change? What if your life is scripted out ahead of time and you are just experiencing it? Yes, people would like to not have setbacks in their life, tragedies, or illnesses. But what if they were all scripted into your journey here? Rather than desiring change why not just desire to be a better person – who you already are? Expect these challenges and face them willingly.

When you get to the end of your journey here, everything you were concerned and worried about, or tried to change will disappear in an instant. What will be left? Your memories of a small child you helped, a garden you grew, a meal you fixed for yourself and loved ones that they appreciated. That’s what you will remember. It’s that you went on this journey and left the world with a little more love and compassion. You left the world a warmer place and you did it with our help.

Your greatest success was not what you did once you got here, but just in getting here. You had everything easy and difficult put in front of you as tests, as experiments that you would have to learn from once you got here. So, desiring to change your life in any way would mean defeating the purpose in being here because that’s what you came here to resolve within yourself.”

“Society tends to measure our worth by what we do, as well as by how much and how well we do it. Yet, in truth, our worth never depends on our accomplishments or lack of them. It’s not in accomplishing something of greatness that you gain your worth. It is in appreciating your true worth that everything you do becomes of great value. When you truly value your life, every smile, every handshake, every word you speak carries the truth and power of your worth.

When we do not know our worth, everything we do carries our ignorance and reflects the very destruction of that worth. It isn’t that when we commit a crime we become worthless denizens in this world. It’s that when we forget our true worth, we reflect our ignorance of our worth in the crimes we commit. In ignorance, we isolate ourselves from the purpose for which we came into being.”
