BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, November 29th, 2017 by Paul Ferrini in THE ECSTATIC MOMENT

Posted on November 28, 2017 by jmaz479

“When you are honest you see that the aspects of your life that prosper are the ones that you enjoy the most and the ones to which you give your greatest energy and commitment. What you don’t enjoy or give your full attention and commitment to does not prosper.

Whispering a few magical words will not change the emotional allegiance we are referring to. It takes an inner revolution, in which the feet and the hands learn to listen to and align with the heart. What we “do” must be consistent with who we “are.” That is the formula for the flow of love and abundance into our lives.

The truth is there is always enough. But we are asking the wrong question. We are asking “what needs to be done and how can I do it?” when the real question is “who am I and how can I give my gift?”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, November 28th, 2017 by Eckhart Tolle in THE POWER OF NOW

Posted on November 27, 2017 by jmaz479

Do you resent doing what you are doing? It may be your job, or you may have agreed to do something and are doing it, but part of you resents and resists it. Are you carrying unspoken resentment toward a person close to you? Do you realize that the energy you thus emanate is so harmful in its effects that you are in fact contaminating yourself as well as those around you? Have a good look inside. Is there the slightest trace of resentment and unwillingness? If there is, observe it on both the mental and emotional levels. What thoughts is your mind creating around this situation? Then look at the emotion, which is the body’s reaction to those thoughts. Feel the emotion. Does it feel pleasant or unpleasant? Is it an energy that you would actually choose to have inside you? Do you have a choice?

Maybe you are being taken advantage of, maybe the activity you are engaged in is tedious, maybe some close to you is dishonest, irritating, or unconscious, but all this is irrelevant. Whether your thoughts and emotions about this situation are justified or not makes no difference. The is that you are resisting what is.”

Eckhart Tolle, in “The Power of Now”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, November 27th, 2017 by Sanaya Roman, in PERSONAL POWER THROUGH AWARENESS

Posted on November 26, 2017 by jmaz479

“When people are angry with you, it is often an expression of their hurt. Most people feel that they only get angry with just cause, and only get hurt when someone lets them down, aggravates them, rejects them or makes unreasonable demands. But anger can also be used be used to control others. Is your fear of other peoples’ anger controlling your behavior around them? Do you use a threat of anger to control others?

When people get angry with you, or appear to want to hurt you, they may be doing it because they are in pain themselves. Because of their programs and upbringing, because of the way they look at the world, some people may think you have hurt them when you had no intention to do so. Sometimes people get angry when all you are doing is expressing an opinion that differs from theirs, or stating a preference of your own. Be sure you are not coming from a desire to control or manipulate, and if you are not, do not let their anger trigger pain within you.”

“Ponder on This” in 2018

Posted on November 25, 2017 by jmaz479

Last year at this time I was considering ending the “Ponder on This” messages at the close of 2016, but after numerous subscribers wrote to request that the service continue, I decided to continue posting them for all of 2017. Now that this year is drawing to a close, I’ve made the decision to continue posting the messages through all of 2018 and up until at least March 18 of 2019, a date that would mark 20 full years of sharing this content.

With that announcement made, please note I’ve also decided to go to a “Best of” format for all posts that will begin in January 2018, although there may be times when I’ll use a “fresh” Ponder message; we’ll see. Note also that the “Best of” messages that I will post in 2018 will be ones that were originally posted in 2007, so while some long-term subscribers may recognize some of them, for later subscribers the content will be completely new.

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, November 24th, 2017 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOUR SACRED SELF

Posted on November 23, 2017 by jmaz479

“You cannot have a better past, so abandon that idea right now. You did what you knew how to do, given the circumstances of your life. Those mistakes of the past were driven by your ego, which wanted to keep you in its grasp. You listened to your false self and recoiled in fear over the idea of anyone knowing your true self.

You moved away from love, but now you are back and making the choice for love. You know deep within you that at your primal level you have been designed for love and happiness. You simply let that false self direct you away from the loving presence that is your essence.

You can choose to return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you. Who you are is that unclouded love. Go there often and all of your fears will be replaced by the love that is always with you.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, November 23rd, 2017 by Wayne W. Dyer in MANIFEST YOUR DESTINY

Posted on November 22, 2017 by jmaz479

“Be thankful and avoid complaining as much as possible. Remember my own personal slogan, “Don’t complain, don’t explain.” Catch yourself as you are about to find fault with someone or some condition. Then, instead, find something to say that reflects a willingness to be a love finder: “They probably haven’t been taught how to perform that task properly” rather than “No one can do anything right anymore. I don’t know what the world is coming to.”

The more you practice not criticizing and not complaining, the more that vacuum with you will fill with love and appreciation. Give yourself a specific period of time to practice avoiding complaining and faultfinding, perhaps thirty days. You will experience the emptying of rancor and complaints from your inner self and the opening to love, appreciation, and gratitude. The presence of unconditional love will lead you to the ground of yourself, where manifesting your desires becomes possible.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, November 22nd, 2017 by Gregg Braden, in THE ISAIAH EFFECT

Posted on November 21, 2017 by jmaz479

“The creation of a wartime mentality of expecting and preparing for conflict in our international world can happen only if we allow for such conflict in our personal lives. As we live individual episodes of “defending ourselves” in romance and personal relationships, “outsmarting” others in our schools, and “out-strategizing” co-workers and competitors, quantum physics reminds us that these individual expressions of our lives pave the way for similar expressions, amplified by orders of magnitude, in another time and place.

To know peace in our world, we must become peace in our lives. From the quantum perspective, it makes little sense to shove people impatiently out of the way to get to our parked vehicle, then dart in and out of traffic rudely cutting off other drivers as we race across town to a rally supporting global peace.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, November 21st, 2017 by Neale Donald Walsch in HOME WITH GOD

Posted on November 20, 2017 by jmaz479

“Look into your own eyes in a mirror. This is a deceptively simple and incredibly powerful tool. The trick is not to turn away if this deep looking becomes uncomfortable. If you are able to hold your own gaze for more than a count of ten, you will begin to experience such compassion and love for yourself that you will almost not know what to do with that feeling. It could be very difficult for you to take in this feeling if you are not used to loving yourself – and most people, sadly, are not. Just be with the feeling and embrace it.

Continue looking deeply and more deeply into your own eyes. If you use a hand mirror, you can be sitting when you do this. Now, all at once, after looking deeply into your own eyes for as long as you can, simply and quickly close your eyes – and be with the feeling that follows. Very often you will feel merged with the Essence. This could only last a moment – or for the rest of the day.”

God, as spoken to Neale Donald Walsch, in “Home With God”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, November 20th, 2017 by Alan Cohen in RELAX INTO WEALTH

Posted on November 19, 2017 by jmaz479

“When something is right and important for you, the universe will stay after you, prodding you to do it. You may resist your next step, put it off, deny it or even run away. But if an event, relationship, activity, or career is in line with your chosen destiny, it will find ways to get your attention and keep you in the game.

If you are not sure whether to do something, try not doing it and see what happens. If the impulse fades away, you have your answer. If, however, the voice becomes more insistent, or you can’t stop thinking about it, or the universe keeps putting the idea “in your face,”, you would probably do well to heed its call.

Rather than judging or belittling you intuitive promptings, imagine they proceed from a source of wisdom. Most of the time you will find there was a good reason you were feeling the impulse. Your intuition is like a muscle; the more you use it, the stronger it grows and the more easily you will recognize your joy path. Often you will receive confirmation by some kind of outer sign.

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, November 17th, 2017 by Stuart Wilde in THE FORCE

Posted on November 16, 2017 by jmaz479

“If you go deep within yourself and clear out the negativity there, you begin to raise your energy. As you do so, you will help others, not because you have assisted them materially, but because you have raised your consciousness. This might sound obscure, but it is a cosmic fact that first you have to heal yourself, you have to find the grail before you will ever be much use to others. You can send them a bag of rice if you wish, but that will not increase, by one iota, their expression of the Force.

To really help people, you have to show them how to increase their power, and if you have not completed your own journey, what will you show them? Confusion? Once you have raised your energy, people will be pulled to you automatically.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, November 16th, 2017 by David R. Hawkins in POWER VS. FORCE

Posted on November 15, 2017 by jmaz479

“Everybody is crippled in some area, and each one of us is somewhere on the path of evolution – some people are ahead of us, and some are behind. In the steps we’ve walked are the old lessons of life, and before us are the new teachings. There’s nothing to feel guilty about and nothing to blame. There’s no one to hate, but there are those things that are better avoided, and such blind alleys will become increasingly apparent. Everyone has chosen his own level of consciousness, yet nobody could have done otherwise at any given point in time. We can only get “there” from “here.” Every leap has to have a platform to originate from.”

Posted on November 14, 2017 by jmaz479

“When you judge another, it is only a reflection of what is inside of you. Your judgments do nothing but energize, empower, and hold in place what is inside of you…If you choose not to judge, what can you do? You can discern. Just as there is a difference between need and desire, there is a difference between judgment and discernment. You have created a brilliant mind capable of discerning very well. You can discern a situation or circumstance for what it is. There is nothing wrong with that. You can even choose to be part of an experience or not but do not judge by placing a value on it. Judgment says it is good or bad, right or wrong. You do not have to place a value on a situation, circumstance, or person in order to discern or to choose one thing versus another.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, November 14th, 2017 by Lisette Larkins in DIFFICULT PEOPLE

Posted on November 13, 2017 by jmaz479

“When life is allowed to be, without the loud, chronic resistance of the mind, it’s extraordinary how problems mysteriously smooth out and relationships are healed. The reason why this occurs is that life’s presence is inherently peaceful and lovely in its simplicity and is thus predictably soothing and is the perfect healer of you and others.

When you are able to stay magically peaceful no matter what the outer circumstances, you are aligned with the present moment. Because you are no longer resisting the present, you are able to become more of what you already are. In this way, presence’s power becomes fully charged because it’s finally uncovered from all that compulsively loud mental chatter. The servant has been demoted and peace is not in charge. When you are calm and at peace despite outer chaos, you are aligned with the present moment. The “now” is constant in its stillness and perfection. It is the animating presence underneath whatever is happening.”

Posted on November 12, 2017 by jmaz479

“Let us say that everything that occurs in our lives happens for a reason. Let us also suppose that everyone understands and accepts this premise as true. How would it be if each person started asking, Why am I having this experience? What am I learning from this experience? What is it mirroring to me about myself? Imagine if each person looked inward instead of outward for the cause of the undesirable things happening in their life!

You have undoubtedly heard it said that you create your own reality. Have you ever wondered just what this means? To understand this concept, we must recognize that everything is created spiritually before it is created physically…Everything is created through subtle energies—energies on the molecular level.”

Posted on November 9, 2017 by jmaz479

“Whether or not you recall the names of the two wealthiest people in the world—or the last few winners of the Heisman Trophy, Academy Awards, or Nobel Prizes—I’ll bet you can remember the names of two favorite teachers, or friends who stood by you, or a half dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you. We remember the ones who cared. And we can become one of those people who are held in others’ hearts and memories long after we have passed from this earth. It is what we are here to do; next to simple acts of kindness, all our personal achievements pale.

Acts of kindness close the circle of life and connect us to others. What we do for ourselves dies with us, but what we do for others echoes throughout the ages. We can see and enjoy every sight around the world, experience every luxury or sensual pleasure. But when we look back on our lives and review our memories, none of it will match the delight of bringing a smile to someone’s face, or performing an act of courage or kindness that takes us beyond our separation. Therein lies a meaningful and purposeful life.”
