BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 21st, 2025 by Arnold Patent in YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL

Posted on January 20, 2025 by jmaz479

“Our rational society has taught us to judge, analyze, or evaluate virtually everything we experience. So ingrained is this training, that we feel incomplete when we haven’t processed each experience in this way. Yet judging, evaluating or analyzing anybody inhibits our ability to response to the real self of that person. People are not their thoughts and actions. People are their essences, which are always perfect.

Once we evaluate, judge, or analyze anything, we immediately stop the flow of energy through us. This creates discomfort in our bodies. We are then literally stuck with an experience the way we perceive it regardless of how it really is. Until we let go of our judgment of an experience, it ceases to be its true self and it continues to cause us discomfort.”

Arnold Patent, in “You Can Have It All”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, January 20th, 2025 by Stuart Wilde in SIXTH SENSE

Compiler’s Note: For those who are interested, I decided to keep this daily service going through 2025 and have already loaded & scheduled all of the posts for this year to the blog software.

“The simplest and easiest way to go beyond your pain is by working on and concentrating on your strengths. I know that psychologists will tell you that you have to take your wounds, your inner-child traumas, and the various psychological fractures within you to a therapist, who will help you identify them. Then you have to relive them in your mind’s eye and act them out, thereby releasing them.

There’s nothing wrong with that system, but it has one drawback. By dredging it all up and talking about it, the ego rises up because it’s being noticed, and it focuses on the injustice of it all. The ol’ ego hops up on its righteous soapbox, beating its chest, calling for attention and sympathizers: “Look at me, what a horrible life I’ve had. I need help and care and special treatment. I need attention, and people should commiserate with me and cut me a lot of slack…” blah, blah, yawn, yawn…Time passes, and all you’re doing is dis-ease.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, January 17, 2025 by Stuart Wilde in THE LITTLE MONEY BIBLE

Posted on January 16, 2025 by jmaz479

“Prayer is a form of invocation, especially when we pray out loud. But to make prayer really work for you, you have to make the subtle shift from asking and begging to knowing. If you say, “God, send me money,” that’s not an invocation; it has an air of uncertainty about it. It feels weak. Invocation requires you to state your need as granted, and to be certain that your loot is already on its way – delivered and real in a parallel universe, and on its way to this 3-D reality we call home.

So instead of praying quietly, pray out loud, stating each desire as fact. Remember, “A great prize is about to come into my life.” “A very profitable opportunity is on its way to me.” “A large sum is dropping into my lap effortlessly,” and so on. Invoke, invoke, you’ll never be broke.”

Posted on January 15, 2025 by jmaz479

“You are the source, the creator of your life. You are the one who reaches upward, grows spiritually, and connects with your Higher Self. You create your reality through your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and intent, which determine your vibration and thus the people, objects, events, and circumstances you attract to your life. Your emotions and your intent determine how fast you get what you are thinking about. Because you create your own reality, you can choose any reality you want.

Because there is a time lag between your thoughts and their appearance in your reality, some people do not yet realize they create their reality. Yet, you could trace every event that happens to people back to a thought, picture, belief, emotion, or intent they had at some point in their lives. EVERY decision and choice you make is shaping your reality.”

Posted on January 14, 2025 by jmaz479

“If someone asks you for help, serving them takes on an entirely different dynamic than trying to fix them. If a friend comes to you and asks, “Can you show me how to rollerblade?” or “Do you have any feedback for me on the talk I just gave?” or “Is everything all right between us?” you are being offered an open door. In such a case your response will be valued and heard, for you will be expressing from a position of clarity and service. You will not be trying to fix, but assist. And your results will be far more effective.

A Course in Miracles suggests that before you enter into any situation calling for teaching, healing, or human relations, remind yourself, “I am here only to be truly helpful.” The operative word here is truly.”

“If you’re going through an emotional time, ask yourself, ‘What is my opinion here?’ You might say, “I’m insecure, because I think I might be losing my job.” Okay, stop and pull back. What can you do about it? THE WAY IT IS, IS THE WAY IT IS. You perceive that things aren’t going well at work, so what’s the next step? Action. Rather than running away because of emotion, like a little child who gets scared and flees, when you’re faced with adversity, step forward in your feelings, not back. Write it down and put it on your refrigerator: “In challenging circumstances, I will step forward, not back.” Review the situation and take action.

When there’s trouble at work, what can you do to fix it? Who can you talk to, to square things away? The factory may be laying off people, but they probably won’t lay off everyone, so what can you do to improve your performance? What can you do to fix the trouble? Well, first you can create more energy. But if that doesn’t work, what’s the worst that can happen? You’re going to get chucked out of the job, and you’ll find something else to do. So maybe the universe is helping to release you form one dumb job, opening doors for you to find something more creative and more profitable to do.”

Posted on January 12, 2025 by jmaz479

“An easy way of awakening from the ego’s trickeries coming from guilt is to listen for the “shoulds.” Stop “shoulding” yourself to death! If you listen to your internal dialogue when your guilt is triggered, all you will hear is: “I really ought to have done…” or “Am I a bad person because I didn’t…”.

What you want to be listening for behind those shoulds is how you believe you fell short of a certain standard. Remember, each time you feel guilt, it’s an opportunity to ask yourself: “What am I buying into about who I think I should be?” Then ask yourself if this “should” fits with your highest version of self in this specific circumstance.

Believe me, the shoulds are always there, especially when you are calling on more of your potential to be expressed. This is because you often have to let go of who you once were to become the person you are meant to be.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, January 10th, 2025 by Don Miguel Ruiz in THE FOUR AGREEMENTS

Posted on January 9, 2025 by jmaz479

“The best way to say, “I love you God,” is to live your life doing your best. The best way to say “Thank you, God,” is by letting go of the past and living in the present moment, right here and now. Whatever life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now.

If you live in a past dream, you don’t enjoy what is happening right now because you will always wish it to be different than it is. There is no time to miss anyone or anything because you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half alive. This leads to self-pity, suffering, and tears.

You were born with the right to be happy. You were born with the right to love, to enjoy and to share your love. You are alive, so take your life and enjoy it. Don’t resist life passing through you, because that is God passing through you. Just your existence proves the existence of God.”

“Accept that what you desire is attainable. Without such acceptance, no matter how hard we work to attain something, we just can’t get it, because we are holding on to opposing concepts. You can’t row a boat in two directions at once. One minute we say yes to what we desire, and the next moment we say no, because we don’t believe it’s possible for us to attain all that we desire. This keeps us stuck going nowhere except back and forth in the mind. Whatever our desire, we will have the power to manifest it when we decide that it’s possible and perfectly right for us to manifest it. Our faith is demonstrated by our endeavors to manifest this desire, to do our part.”

Posted on January 7, 2025 by jmaz479

“Understand that everything that has happened in your life was completely constructed by you. The things you’ve accumulated and the towers you’ve built are just inanimate objects. They are made of millions of pieces of wood, brick, steel or plastic. These things have no opinions. They have no ideas. They do not become angry or happy. They Do Not Have Minds. They are not out to get you. Your diamonds do not care if you toss them into the garbage, and your house will not be aware if you rip it to the ground.

These things seem obvious, but when life is falling down, visions become blurry. To shrink these monstrous problems back down to size, you must believe that your home, job, possessions and status mean absolutely nothing. You have to treat everything that is collapsing into your head as an “easy come, easy go” situation. Yes, it all has to mean that little to you. Do not let your ego tell you that you’ve worked so hard for all you have and that you are going to hold onto it with all of the strength you can muster.

“How can I get to this point?” you may ask. I shall tell you. If you wish to place your mind in this frame of thinking quickly, imagine that you are only a few minutes away from your death. That’s right. Pretend that I just told you that you will die in the next five minutes. With this new knowledge, picture the things that really mean the most to you. Is it truly your house, your car, the money you wish you had, or your prestige in the community?”

“Guilt is a worthless energy. If you’ve messed up or failed, grant yourself absolution. Then draw a line in the sand and say, “From now on, I’m going to act in a better way. I’m going to act in a more honorable way.” The important thing is to truncate the emotion of that guilt before it becomes overwhelming. Forgive yourself, and realize that in the eternal spiritual sense, there isn’t any real sin; there is only forgiveness. Yes, there are low-energy actions that infringe and restrict, and there are high-energy actions that love, liberate, inspire, and release people. But that’s all there is. We come to experience both types of action in this lifetime.

Naturally, as a spiritual person working on yourself, you’re going to try to choose as many high-energy, liberating attitudes and actions as you can. But if sometimes you go the other way and fail, you haven’t really failed. All you’ve done is gone up the other end of the scale. You have to understand contrast in order to learn. Bit by bit, you will strengthen, become more, and learn a better way.”

“Enjoy each season of your life. Patiently prepare the soil, sow the seeds, and do the work, and you’ll harvest the abundant fruits of your labors. Accept both good fortune and adversity as you accept the shifting seasons. Enjoy the glazed beauty of a winter’s day and the sultry days of summer, for soon enough, each season, each day, each moment, passes into history, and its exact likeness shall not be seen again. So rather than longing for summer in the midst of a winter’s chill, or wishing for cool winds in the dog days of summer, embrace each season for its own gifts. Align yourself with the cycles of time and transformation, riding change as ships ride the waves.”

“Healing crises are always uncomfortable and can often be terrifying and painful. It can feel as if our world is in danger of coming to an end. It can seem as if our lives are falling apart. We may see disaster and doom everywhere. Oftentimes we blame ourselves and fell that we’ve done something horribly wrong, or that we are terribly lacking.

In fact, we have simply outgrown an old form, an old way of relating to the world. An old way of being is dissolving, making way for a new, more expanded and more conscious way. So we may lose a job or a relationship because it is too limiting; it would not allow us to expand in the direction we need to go. We may lose a loved one through death because both our souls are moving onto new levels, one of us continuing in the physical body, the other passing into a non-physical reality. We may contract a serious illness in order to confront ourselves with the necessity for change.

If you have ever gone through crises such as these, and have taken the opportunity to grow from them, you can probably recognize, in retrospect, how vitally important the experience was.”

“If you’re familiar with Winnie the Pooh (who isn’t), then you’re familiar with Tigger too…He’s the only one! And that’s precisely what he unabashedly declares when he sings his catchy little tune:

The wonderful thing about Tiggers, is a wonderful, wonderful, thing.
Their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs…but
The wonderful thing about Tiggers is that I’m the only one!

Those last four words fit Tigger just fine. But these are arrogant and misguided words when they come from anyone who assumes that their “holy” book or religious leader is the only one or the only way. Sadly, the Tigger syndrome (I’m the only one) appears to be the main ingredient of most religious brews. Common sense, however, should tell believers of these various faiths that they all can’t be right in their assertions of possessing God’s ultimate truth, especially when they contradict each other. But I guess common sense is no match for the “voice” of God that they all claim to be hearing. After all, once they have God in their pocket, there’s nothing left to discuss.”

“Relationships are mirrors of ourselves. What we attract always mirrors either qualities we have or beliefs we have about relationships. This is true whether it is a boss, a coworker, an employee, a friend, a lover, a spouse or a child. The things you don’t like about these people are either what you yourself do or would like to do, or what you believe. You could not attract them or have them in your life if the way they are didn’t somehow complement your own life.

If you have a boss who is critical or impossible to please, look within. Either you do that on some level or you have a belief that “Bosses are always critical and impossible to please.” If you have an employee who won’t obey or doesn’t follow through, look to see where you do that and clean it up. Firing someone is too easy; it doesn’t clear your pattern.

This is the ONLY way to change others – change ourselves first. Change your patterns and you will find “they” are different too. Blame is useless. Blaming only gives away our power. Keep your power. Without power, we cannot make changes. The helpless victim cannot see a way out.”
