BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, January 11th, 2018 by Arnold M. Patent in YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL

“As we do what we love because we love to do it, we channel energy into the creation of high quality products and services. The people we attract are the ones who will support us in maintaining that level of energy and who want to enjoy the experience of that quality of energy. These are the people who will buy our products or use our services and will be happy to pay us well for them. Who would not enjoy purchasing a product or service offered by someone whose primary motivation is the joy received from creating it?

The amount of energy we allow to flow through us is related to our willingness to be in alignment with the Universe and to support It by doing what we love. The more perfect our alignment, that is the more perfectly we allow ourselves to express fully and freely what it is we love to do, the more energy we allow to flow through us, and the more abundance we experience.”

Arnold M. Patent, in “You Can Have It All”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, January 10th, 2018 by Neale Donald Walsch in CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD BOOK 1

Posted on January 9, 2018 by jmaz479

“So, do you want your life to “take off”? Begin at once to imagine it the way you want it to be—and move into that. Check every thought, word, and action that does not fall into harmony with that. Move away from those.

When you have a thought that is not in alignment with your higher vision, change to a new thought, then and there. When you say a thing that is out of alignment with your grandest idea, make a note not to say something like that again. When you do a thing that is misaligned with your best intention, decide to make that the last time. And make it right with whomever was involved if you can.”

God, as spoken to Neale Donald Walsch, in “Conversations with God, Book 1”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 9th, 2018 by Joan Borysenko, Ph.D. in THE WAYS OF THE MYSTIC

“Do you remember the last time you felt truly passionate about an idea or a person? Passionate attraction leads to a wild, wonderful state in which energy abounds. Need to drive 100 miles to tryst with your lover after work, then drive home and go to work the next morning? No problem in the heightened state that infatuation creates. All things seem possible; all obstacles exciting challenges to surmount. In the case of infatuation with a lover, the spell and the energizing biochemical changes that it weaves, wear off in a few months.

In the case of a dream to which we are committed, such as helping others heal from their wounds, the spell may last for a lifetime. And for as long as we are passionate about our dream, we will have the energy to bring it into manifestation. Perhaps this is what the late mythologist Joseph Campbell was thinking about when he said, “Follow your bliss”.”

Posted on January 7, 2018 by jmaz479

“There is a real danger in strongly identifying yourself with your work or your job, for when the time comes that you no longer do that work, then your identity is effectively lost as well. Put another way, if what you do is who you are, then when you do it no longer, you will be nobody! Regardless, today many people tend to be very attached to the status that their employment supposedly provides them…

While enjoying and being fulfilled by one’s work is certainly important, it is quite another thing to become so identified with that work that one actually believes that their value as a person is based upon it. Whatever you do for a living is just one of several roles that you play in life (e.g., business-person, husband, wife, daughter, son, friend, etc.), and since your work can quickly change, it really has little to do with who you really are.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, January 5th, 2018 by Fr. Anthony DeMello S.J., in AWARENESS

Posted on January 4, 2018 by jmaz479

“Everyone asks me what will happen when they finally arrive. Is this just curiosity? We’re always asking how would this fit into that system, or whether this would make sense in that context, or what it will feel like when we get there. Get started and you will know; it cannot be described.

It is said widely in the East, “those who know, do not say; those who say, do not know.” It cannot be said; only the opposite can be said. The guru cannot give you the truth. Truth cannot be put into words, into a formula. That isn’t the truth. That isn’t reality. Reality cannot be put into a formula. The guru can only point out your errors. When you drop your errors, you will know the truth.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, January 4th, 2018 by Dr. Joseph Murphy in THE POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

Posted on January 3, 2018 by jmaz479

“You spend about eight out of every twenty-four hours, or one-third of your entire life, in sleep. This is an inexorable law of life. This also applies to the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Sleep is a divine process, and many answers to our problems come to us when we are sound asleep on the bed. Many people have advocated the the theory that you get tired during the day, that you go to sleep to rest the body, and that a reparative process takes place while you sleep. Nothing rests in sleep. Your heart, lungs, and all your vital organs function while you are asleep. If you eat prior to sleep, the food is digested and assimilated; also, your skin secretes perspiration, and your nails and hair continue to grow.

Your subconscious mind never rests or sleeps. It is always active, controlling all your vital forces. The healing process takes place more rapidly while you are asleep as there is not interference from your conscious mind. Remarkable answers are given to you while you are asleep.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, January 3rd, 2018 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in REAL MAGIC

Posted on January 2, 2018 by jmaz479

“The teacher is everywhere. The assistance you need will be provided by the universe as soon as you convert your readiness to willingness. Once you are willing you will find teachers in every niche of your life…

Teachers appear in various forms. Your teacher might be a tape that someone “accidentally” leaves in your car and that you “accidentally” play at just the right time. Last week you might have played it for two minutes and rejected the contents; now your willingness allows your teacher to be there for you. Your teacher might be a book or an article that a friend recommends. It might be your unplanned attendance at a lecture or a church service to which someone gave you their ticket because he or she had to be out of town; the message of the speaker seems to be directed specifically at you.

Your teacher might be a child who takes you by the hand and asks a question that you hadn’t considered before, and your answer to the child is your answer to yourself. Your teacher might be invisible and show up as a thought that comes over you in a quiet, contemplative moment and encourages you to go in a certain direction now…

When you, the student, are ready and willing, the teacher will show up. You simply have to look around, open your new eyes and silently ask yourself, “Who is my teacher?”

Posted on January 1, 2018 by jmaz479

“Some view suffering as divine punishment for moral transgressions; others see it as a necessary part of the soul’s education and evolution. To find meaning in the suffering and adversity in your own life, look back to before they occurred, and observe yourself now—stronger, wiser, perhaps more compassionate as a result of your struggles. You may see in your own life how the path to Heaven may pass through Hell—and how we sometimes have to deal with the darkness before we can see the light.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, January 1st, 2018 by Richard Carlson, PH.D., in DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

Posted on December 31, 2017 by jmaz479

“It’s useful to think of relaxation as a quality of heart that you can access on a regular basis rather than something reserved for some later time. You can relax now. It’s helpful to remember that relaxed people can still be super achievers and, in fact, that relaxation and creativity go hand in hand. When I’m feeling uptight, for example, I don’t even try to write. But when I feel relaxed, my writing flows quickly and easily.

Being more relaxed involves training yourself to respond differently to the dramas of life—turning your melodrama into a mellow-drama. It come, in part, from remind yourself over and over again (with loving kindness and patience) that you have a choice in how you respond to life. You can learn to relate to your thinking as well as your circumstances in new ways. With practice, making these choices will translate into a more relaxed self.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, December 29th, 2017 by Marianne Williamson in EVERYDAY GRACE

Posted on December 28, 2017 by jmaz479

“Forget the idea that God has more important things to think about than you. This thought is not humble, but actually a thinly disguised arrogance. Could the Lord of the universe work at anything less than full capacity, surveying just some but not all of His creation? You will know that to God you are everything when He has become everything to you. God’s infinite and imperturbable love is ever at work, creatively furthering the enhancement of good, everywhere and all the time. God has a plan for your life, and all life, which is perfect and unassailable. There is only one thing that can keep it from finding its way to your door, and that is you.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, December 28th, 2017 by Lynn Grabhorn in EXCUSE ME, YOUR LIFE IS WAITING

Posted on December 27, 2017 by jmaz479

“Passion…It’s one of those words that sounds great, but what does it really mean? How do we get it? And do we really need it? Here’s your clue: passion is creation! Contentment is swell, but passion makes it happen. Contentment is an open valve, a nice safe haven with no negative focus, a place of rest. But passion makes it happen. Passion is living. Passion is creation.

Passion is about feeling your power. When negative conditions pop up for whatever reason (as they always will because we require the contrast), instead of talking about how tough things are, dig down and feel your power. You’re not only connected to the force of well-being, you are that force. That force is Life. That force is passion. And passion is creation. Passion comes from the excitement of having something in the making.”

Posted on December 26, 2017 by jmaz479

“Discontent is not necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, it is your duty to be discontented with anything less than complete harmony and happiness. Discontent is an evil only when it takes the form of discouragement, cynicism, or despair. A wholesome discontent with dullness, failure, and frustration is your incentive for overcoming such things. Without it, you would never find your true place. But, whoever you are, your true place is calling, calling; and because you really are a spark of the Divine, you will never be content until you answer.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, December 26th, 2017 by Eliza Mada Dalian in IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS

Posted on December 25, 2017 by jmaz479

“When you hear that you need to be present, your mind immediately thinks that it should do something to be present. When you try to be present, you become confused, anxious, and begin to struggle. Then you get exhausted, and for a moment your mind stops, and you feel peaceful. A knowing arises inside you that recognizes what it’s like to be present.

Observe and understand how the thought “be present” arises. Perhaps you have heard that you need to be present so many times that you have become identified with the thought itself. If you try to be present without awareness, you will feel stressed and anxious. Observe that when you are present, there is no thought that says, “be present,” or any other thought. So my suggestion is whenever you see a thought or a desire, simply watch your breath. Then, suddenly, without any effort, you will experience being present.”

Posted on December 24, 2017 by jmaz479

“The opportunity to learn the lesson of awareness is presented each time you feel a sense of discontent in your life. With every desire for a shift in your path, or vision of something different, comes the chance to look within and ask yourself, “What is the truth of what I want? What change do I want to make?” The answer that arises to those questions will provide you with the awareness you need to move forward in your process of change.

There are countless ways to awaken. Paying attention to your feelings is the easiest way to get in touch with your inner machinations. Feelings are the lights on the dashboard of life; when one is illuminated, you can be sure it is a signal of some internal issue that needs to be addressed.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, December 22nd, 2017 by D. Wayne Dyer in YOU’LL SEE IT WHEN YOU BELIEVE IT

Posted on December 21, 2017 by jmaz479

“Abundance is not something that we manufacture, but something that we accept and tune in to. If our mind believes in scarcity, expecting only a small portion of life’s abundance, then that is what our life experience will be. We receive that which we are willing to let in, and what we block is not from unavailability but from scarcity beliefs. When we conceptualize abundance and prosperity as something we are deserving of, we notice a significant shift occurring. First the thoughts about what we deserve change, and then slowly our behavior changes. Eventually we know and believe that whatever it is we want is already here, and our belief will cause it to manifest. Again and again I say, we expand what we focus upon.”
