BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, July 24th, 2019 by Barbara Marciniak in BRINGERS OF THE DAWN

“Money seems to be an issue with everyone. You all have very definitive beliefs about how money comes to you. The more you believe you must work hard for money, the harder you are going to have to work. Many of you believe it is quite normal to work hard for money and that if you don’t work hard for money then it’s “dirty.”

Let us ask you to remember the word effortless and incorporate it into your vocabulary. Say to yourself, “I am effortlessly intending this to come about.” To be effortless is to command reality to bring itself to you in a way that gives room for plenty of energy to be expended in other experimentation.

Remember, your reality is a result of your thoughts. If you believe that things are hard, what are you creating?”

Barbara Marciniak, in “Bringers of the Dawn”

“Miracles can come from anything, anywhere, anytime. There is no situation that ties God’s hands. He is bigger than layoffs, or recessions, or stock market losses. Every ending is a new beginning. Through the grace of God, we can always start again.

You have not been fired; you have been liberated. You might not feel that way, which is fine. Cry your tears, but remember this: The resurrected state already exists. It lives within us as an eternal and operative principle. Claim your good, for it is on the way.

If you allow this situation to throw you more deeply into the arms of God, then the next time someone hires you – and they will – they will be hiring someone who is better at what you do because you are more fully who you are. Fear comes, fear passes. Only the truth of who you are remains, to shine on everything. And that is your job, now and always: to shine and illumine the world.”

Marianne Williamson, in “Everyday Grace”

“I asked a deacon at a local church if he had asked God to relieve him of an illness he had been suffering from for a number of weeks. He said, “No.” The implications within his admission are tremendous. How many of us don’t pray because we don’t believe? How many of us do pray, but don’t truly believe? How many people think that blindly accepting the stories grown-ups once told them is the same as having true faith and belief? I truly believe that it is nothing more than a simple lack of faith, or belief, which has led to a breaking of the trinity for most people; and it is precisely such a disconnection which renders prayers marginally effective at best. Trust the process and the process will support you. You must believe.”

Posted on July 18, 2019 by jmaz479

“…After you assume authorship in of your own life, outcomes are never in doubt. No matter what happens to you, each event has a place and a meaning. You see that your spiritual journey makes sense, even down to the smallest details. It isn’t that your ego wakes up every morning and arranges your day. Events still unfold unpredictably, yet at the moment they occur, you know that you are adequate to meet them. No question arises that doesn’t have its own answer somewhere inside it. The adventure is to uncover the creative solutions that most appeal to you. Like an author that can make any world he chooses on the page, you gain authorship based on your own inclinations, with no outside help and no second opinions.”

Deepak Chopra, in “How to Know God”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, July 18th, 2019 by John St. Augustine in LIVING AN UNCOMMON LIFE

Posted on July 17, 2019 by jmaz479

“Here’s the deal: Resisting the inevitable is an exercise in futility. The process of transformation excludes no one. The only question is: How hard will you fight the changes that are manifesting in your life? What will it take you to embrace them? We are a world filled with people who desperately wish their lives to be different in some way. And yet when the universe presents options (that may look at the time like closed doors, lost love, and empty bank accounts), we balk at the idea of having to change within.

Every outer circumstance is manifest from an inner place, and if that place does not include transformation, then you remain a leaf-munching worm that is food for birds. To tell the truth, even when you transform, you are food for birds – you just look better. Be open to the transformation that is being placed in your path. It makes the time in the cocoon that much easier.”

“Manifesting your dreams begins with the difficult task of discovering what they truly are. As children, we follow the footsteps of our parents and teachers. Most of us accept their guidance and wisdom about what classes to take in school. They influence our choice of hobbies, sports, and clubs that fill up our free time. As we get older we often choose our careers and our mates based on ideals established by our elders. But at what point do we stop listening to these external voices and tune in to our inner guides? When do we decide that perhaps the path we’re on is not really our own? Could this be the reason we feel something is missing in our lives?

These are the kinds of questions we fear most because they require us to second-guess what we’ve been taught. Have you ever questioned your belief in God? For some, to question holy doctrine is a mortal sin. But if we don’t challenge our most basic beliefs we won’t grow as spiritual beings. Our lives will simply run along lines established by our parents, and we’ll never go beyond those boundaries that were set when we were kids.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, July 16th, 2019 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in REAL MAGIC

Posted on July 15, 2019 by jmaz479

“Memorize and continually remind yourself, “My intention creates my reality.” Experience with intention as a way of creating miracles is probably an unfamiliar concept to you. Most of us have been raised to think of our desires, wishes, hopes and fantasies as the seeds to our personal fulfillment. However, desires are stagnant, they do not set energy into motion, they do not create for you. Intention is the energy of your soul coming into contact with your physical reality. What you see around you, whom you associate with, how you function daily, what your relationships are like, how much money you make, how you get along with others, the shape of your physical body, and virtually everything about the physical you, is a result of your intention, or how your thoughts become energized into action.”

“Things can go any way. All things are indeed possible. This is why people say, “Be careful what you ask for; you just might get it!” We need to be specific – and patient – if there is a specific thing we would like to see. Remember the Genie in the bottle? This is what that story is about. Just as they say that you can see what you want in life by looking around at what you have; your ability, or inability, to see creation is certainly no reflection on the creative Force that acts to fulfill your every desire.

Just because you haven’t seen it yet doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist; and just because you have judged an experience as negative, doesn’t mean that you are under attack. God, or the Universe, or whatever force you believe placed you here, is for you – not against you. Get that straight in your head and you will have a much easier time seeing how quickly and precisely your prayers really are answered.”

Posted on July 11, 2019 by jmaz479

“If you are unkind to yourself you will be unkind to others, and if you are negligent of yourself you will be that to others. Only by feeling compassion for yourself can you feel compassion for others. If you cannot love yourself, you cannot love others and you cannot stand to see others loved. If you cannot treat your own self kindly, you will resent that treatment when you see it in anyone else. If you cannot love yourself, loving others becomes a very painful endeavor with only occasional moments of comfort.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, July 11th, 2019 by Eckhart Tolle in A NEW EARTH

Posted on July 10, 2019 by jmaz479

“Make sure your goal is not an inflated image of yourself and therefore a concealed form of ego, such as wanting to become a famous movie star, a famous writer, or a wealthy entrepreneur. Also make sure it is not focused on having this or that, such as a mansion by the sea, your own company, or ten million dollars it the bank. An enlarged image of yourself or a vision of yourself having this or that are all static goals and therefore don’t empower you.

Instead, make sure your goals are dynamic, that is to say, point toward an activity that you are engaged in and through which you are connected to other human beings as well as to the whole. Instead of seeing yourself as a famous actor and writer and so on, see yourself inspiring countless people with your work and enriching their lives. Feel how that activity enriches or deepens not only your life but that of countless others. Feel yourself being an opening through which energy flows from the un-manifested Source of all life through you for the benefit of all.”

Posted on July 9, 2019 by jmaz479

“The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another, when we are there in the most attentive or caring way. This simple and profound intimacy is the love that we all long for. These moments of touching and being touched can become a foundation for a path with heart, and they take place in the most immediate and direct way. Mother Teresa put it like this:  In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.”

Posted on July 8, 2019 by jmaz479

“When you are ripe and ready for a right relationship, car, home, job, physical healing, or any desired next step, there are thousands of ways your riches can come to you. If you fixate on one of those avenues and demand that your success arrive through it alone, you set yourself up for frustration, pain, and conflict, and delay or cut off the many other ways the universe

From the level of the human personality or ego, you cannot know enough variables about a situation to play God and make it happen in a certain way. Perhaps there are reasons one way isn’t working and another is. It may simply be a matter of timing. Can you trust that life may have a better idea for you?”

“It is now a scientifically established fact that your psychology and physiology (mind and body) are inextricably linked. A sharp, middle-school aged child can describe for you the way our thoughts reflect in our bodies through nervous, chemical, and mechanical energy and the subsequent changes these energies cause. The hormones released when you are in a state of stress, anxiety, anger, grief, worry, and other negative emotional states, make you feel bad – not figuratively, but quite literally.

When you are nervous, you may not have real “butterflies in your stomach,” but your stomach really is quivering as a result of the stress hormones it is experiencing. When the thoughts are different, the electricity and chemicals are different, and the feelings, or emotions, are different. Frustration may make your neck sore; while anger may give you a sharp pain in the area of your gall bladder and fear may make your knees or bladder weak. Every thought has some emotional response; some thoughts and emotions are subtle and calm while others can be intense and painful.”

Posted on July 4, 2019 by jmaz479

“More-is-better is a twentieth-century disease that can obscure the path of the sacred quest. Has this belief become a part of your daily life? Where is the peace in more-is-better? The pursuit of more confines one to a life of striving. It is impossible to arrive and enjoy life. Have you been conditioned to accept this belief? If you’ve spent a lot of life energy on more is better it can be difficult to halt the momentum. You need to know if it is a cornerstone of your life.

Some of the signs that more-is-better is the foundation of your life are the following: you must be busy to be fulfilled; you must make more money than you currently are making; you must get a promotion to prove your worth; you need to have more of everything. To change this, you will want to declare a halt to your constant pursuit of more by knowing that you don’t need anything else in order to be free.

Posted on July 3, 2019 by jmaz479

“It’s important to give up yesteryear when yesteryear is gone. I remember complaining to my best friend that when I lecture, I’m not as fast as I once was, not as snap-crackle-and-pop in my delivery. His response was helpful: that many in my audience aren’t as fast now either, that they too are no longer as snap-crackle-and-pop, and it would seem disingenuous if I tried to be. Age slows us down, but it takes us deeper, into realms no less fertile, spiritually, than those we inhabited before. As the years go by, we lose some of the outer sparkle that so gloriously infused our youth – but an inner sparkle emerges that we never before had. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “As I age, my beauty steals inward.”
