“If you are wearing a mask, you created it; and you did this for a reason. A mask, just as any other creation, is made of energy. You once made a decision, or a movement, in the direction of this new identity. You had to put energy into acquiring the new mask. You had to attend medical school, in other words, to put on the mask of a doctor. You must get married and devote a certain amount of your energy to maintain the mask of a wife. Different masks have different weights; the denser, or heavier, the mask, the more energy it requires maintaining. You must choose how much energy you are willing to invest in any particular mask, or you will set up an imbalance that will ultimately result in stress and dis-ease as your body naturally goes about restoring balance.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, November 25th, 2019 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in A PROMISE IS A PROMISE

“Often there is a tendency to resort to anger or physical manipulation to get a point across. We have all raised our voices and yelled at someone who was not doing our bidding the way we wanted it done. Some will speak of hating those who disagree with them or break the rules. And there are some who strike out with fists or slap those who are smaller and defenseless. Remove all traces of this habit of ego from your life by consulting your sacred self when those moments occur.

You can make much more of an impact by being gracious and being unthreatening yourself, in the face of discord…If you are filled with rage, that is what will come out when you are pressured or squeezed in some way.”

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, in “A Promise Is a Promise”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, November 22nd, 2019 by Cherie Carter-Scott, Ph.D. in IF LIFE IS A GAME THESE ARE THE RULES

“How can we move from resistance to openness? By first recognizing the feeling of resistance. Resistance usually manifests itself physically in a clenched jaw, a tightness in the chest, or sighing. Mentally, it shows up in thoughts like, “Why do I have to deal with this issue? I don’t want this, I don’t need it, I don’t like it!” Once you discover where in your mind or body resistance anchors itself, you can more easily identify it in the future.

The next step is to remind yourself that you have a choice. You can either continue with this resistance and feel badly or you can learn whatever the lesson is there to teach you. Presenting yourself with a choice allows you to see that you have control over your resistance and how you choose to deal with life’s challenges.

The last step is to ask yourself, “Am I willing to give up the resistance and learn whatever lesson is presenting itself?” Remember, if you want to truly live from your authentic self, you must be open to learning all the lessons you are given so that you may grow into the person you want to become. What lessons are you resisting?”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, November 21st, 2019 by John Van Auken in BORN AGAIN AND AGAIN

“The deeper self is so natural that we often miss it and build an elaborate image of some angel-like figure to which we can’t completely relate. The deeper self sees with the same eyes, hears with the same ears and lives in the same body. It is you, and more than just you as you normally think of yourself. But, it is you. It’s the better you.

We are spirits in a body for a time. Our purpose for being is companionship with the Creator of the entire universe. The events we experience in our lives today are the result of our soul’s thoughts, actions and choices in the past. The sorrows, disappointments, limitations and pain we experience are opportunities to make new and wiser decisions that will change all of our tomorrows. Seek and you shall find, ask and it will be shown to you, knock and the door shall be opened for you. It is your birthright, your purpose and your destiny to fulfill.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, November 20th, 2019 by Rosanna Ienco in AWAKENING THE DIVINE SOUL

“Do you ever feel like the Universe is trying to get your attention? Have you ever had a series of events steering you towards something?…We sometimes forget to listen to that quiet voice within, or that loud knock on the door. Look for the signs – they are all around us in different forms. However, we must first be willing and open to receiving the messages they hold. When you do, you will be amazed with the end result. The Universe is always helping us in one way or another. The message, or the synchronicity, may find you in different circumstances.”

“We each live within a comfort zone of beliefs and knowledge we have been given thus far by people in our lives. If you’re not creating a life you love with the recipe you’ve been given, you may need ingredients no one told you about yet. Did you think you’ve already learned it all? Those ingredients exist; but you have to look outside that very small comfort zone of “What I Know” in order to find them. The answers to your questions, and the solutions to your problems, are not inside your comfort zone.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, November 18th, 2019 by Fr. Anthony DeMello, S.J. in AWARENESS

“Anytime you’re practicing renunciation, you’re deluded. How about that? You’re deluded. What are you renouncing? Anytime you renounce something, you are tied forever to the thing you renounce…As long as you’re fighting it, you are giving it power. You give it as much power as you are using to fight it.

So you must “receive” your demons, because when you fight them, you empower them. Has nobody ever told you this? When you renounce something you’re tied to it. The only way out of this is to see through it. Don’t renounce it, see through it.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, November 15th, 2019 by Stuart Wilde in SIXTH SENSE

“If you are a positive, loving person, and if you stay away from shady deals and so forth, you’ll rarely become greatly entangled with scumbags, as they usually exist in a world of their own. But there are a lot of people out there, and some of the dark ones live right next door. You have to watch, and not take it personally, if the odd scumbag shows up in your life.

Through the laws of averages and the laws of physics, turds float. They drift around a lot, so one or two will inevitably float past your door. You just need to stay cool and distant, and establish good boundaries in your psychology. Let people know what you will tolerate and what you will not tolerate, and things should trot along quite nicely. Remember, it’s not judgmental to observe a low-energy oscillation and keep silent. It’s only judgment if you vocalize a personal judgment of it.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, November 14th, 2019 by Alan Cohen in DARE TO BE YOURSELF

“Somewhere in our cultural psyche we have developed an image of a very serious God, and this notion has hurt us greatly. We believe that God is an old man with a white beard who sits on a cloud and judges us, ready and eager to cast us into the ovens of hell for the slightest transgression. This is not the God that I know, not is it the God that is. It is a picture of fear that we have projected onto the only figure in life who loves us consistently without condition or clause. We would do well to let this picture go forever; it is a portrait of pain.

God is a God of delight. Remember that gravity is the thing that keeps us bound to earth. Celebration is the energy that brings us true release. The lighter we are, the closer we rise to Heaven.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, November 13th, 2019 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOUR SACRED SELF

“Post this affirmation in as many places as possible: “In my world, nothing ever goes wrong.” Look at it each day, and let it remind you that everything that is happening to you is in divine order and comes with a lesson. Also, it will help you to live in the spiritual realm – the realm of the changeless and eternal.

You will begin to identify yourself not with the problems that bombard your body but with the silent witness. You will see solutions pouring forth when you take this approach. If you know that your problems are not yours, but your body’s to own, then the act of witnessing will keep you from becoming inwardly immobilized. That serenity will present the solution for resolving the body’s problem.”

“The hormones released by the body during the stress response are great in times of emergency – when your life may really be at stake. But stress hormones are harmful to your body at other times – causing weight gain and an estimated 95% of all trips to doctor’s offices. Stress – which is caused by thinking about things that make you feel bad – weakens the immune system, shuts down the reproductive system, and slows or stops digestion among other things; all of which lead to other problems – some of which are quite serious. Stress also makes you dumb by robbing your thinking centers of blood and oxygen.

Happiness, on the other hand, turns off the stress response and releases chemicals which are beneficial and healing to the body – boosting the immune system, and all the systems of the body. When you can change your thoughts, you can change your physical condition.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, November 11th, 2019 by Eckhart Tolle in THE POWER OF NOW

“Are you a habitual “waiter”? How much of your life do you spend waiting? What I call “small-scale waiting” is waiting in line at the post office, in a traffic jam, at the airport, or waiting for someone to arrive, to finish work, and so on. “Large-scale waiting” is waiting for the next vacation, for a better job, for the children to grow up, for a truly meaningful relationship, for success, to make money, to be important, to become enlightened. It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.

Waiting is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the future; you don’t want the present. You don’t want what you’ve got, and you want what you haven’t got. With every kind of waiting, you unconsciously create inner conflict between your here and now, where you don’t want to be, and the projected future, where you want to be. This greatly reduces the quality of your life by making you lose the present.”

“Other people will often be pressuring you to make up your mind about this or that. Do not, however, forgo your flexibility by assuming a position until you have no other choice. Remember, opinions, i.e., positions, are only opinions, which are as changeable as the wind in spring. Respect them, in self and others, but don’t take them too seriously.

In fact, don’t take anything too seriously, and always retain your sense of humor. As a warrior facing the rigors of the challenge, your sense of H is one of your most essential assets if you want to get to the other side without losing your sanity altogether.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, November 7th, 2019 by Arnold Patent in YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL

“Anytime we experience someone whose behavior causes us discomfort, we know that person represents someone, or is himself someone, whom we haven’t forgiven. By forgiving the person in our present experience, we are also forgiving whomever that person might represent, even though we are unaware of any connection…

Forgiveness is another way of changing our perception of people and events. Judging anything is a misperception of it. Everything that occurs is just another event or experience. It is neither good or bad, important or unimportant, right or wrong.

Why not allow ourselves to see the perfection in every experience? Life is just a series of events which we have attracted, in order to see where we stand in our personal growth. Forgiveness releases the energy block and returns us the joy which is our birthright.”

“There is a role for intellect, and that is to formulate plans, to decide where to go, and to carry things out with action. Intellect is like the captain of a ship, consulting maps, making plans and steering the ship. Yet the weather and the ocean actually determine the course; the captain must remain flexible and use his plans as a guideline. So it is with the intellect that steers your ship.

Intuition tells you of storms ahead, of detours (that turn out to be shortcuts); it monitors a future path designed to bring you your highest good. Use your intellect to set goals, to aim you higher. Focus your will and intent on going higher – that is the best use of your intellect, to keep you on course, to set goals and to interact with the world. Your intuition will take you there the best, fastest and easiest way – if you follow your feelings, hunches, inner urges, and deeper desires.”
