BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, December 30th, 2016 by Dr Wayne W. Dyer in REAL MAGIC

Posted on December 29, 2016 by jmaz479

“Learn to act as if the life you visualize were already here. Act as if that which you perceive in your mind were already here in the physical world. Begin treating your thoughts and visions as much more than simple amorphous meanderings of your mind. You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, your intentions create your reality. Consequently, you must begin the practice of ignoring your own doubt about the importance of your inner world and start the practice of acting as if the images you desire were already your reality. This may sound like self-deception, but it is the only way I know for you to get past the limitations you believe you have.”

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, in “Real Magic”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, December 29th, 2016 by Terry Cole-Whittaker in LIVE YOUR BLISS

Posted on December 28, 2016 by jmaz479

“Once we understand the character and mind-set of people we know who tend to behave badly toward us, we need never be disappointed, carry a grudge, or use our precious energy to get even and pay them back. Why? Because we know these people will be true to their characters and conditioned natures. How can you expect kind and generous treatment from a person who believes in scarcity? When you serve a miser, you can never prosper and will always be disappointed. And if we forget that this is how such people have always behaved because of their fear- and lack-based conditioning, we will allow them to discourage or stop us from doing what we want or from being happy. Avoid people you know are unkind. If you must be around them, never fall to their level of consciousness. Use your time with them as a test. Pass the test by staying true to yourself at all times.”

Posted on December 27, 2016 by jmaz479

“Our existing beliefs continually focus the energy that flows through us. If you are afraid of losing your job, you will attract circumstances that will support you in losing it.

As to the parts of our lives that we have not clearly defined, there is a risk factor of which we should be aware. In our society there are powerful forces focused on each of us all of the time. These are in the form of television, radio, newspapers, magazines, salesmen, employers, relatives and friends. They have many ideas about what we should be thinking. When we avoid making clear decisions about what is best for us, we tend to adopt the ideas of these other sources, without being that we are doing it.

Our consciousness is like a sponge. We can fill it with our own ideas and decisions. We can fill it with joyous thoughts and clear intentions to have a life that works perfectly. Or, if we leave the sponge partly dry, the world around us gladly fills it for us.”

Posted on December 26, 2016 by jmaz479

“Do you know what the purpose of your struggle is? The purpose is for you to become aware of the laws that govern your existence so that you will break through that consciousness and shine your light. It’s a wake-up call. It is a sign that you are not aligned with your true purpose and your natural inheritance from the source of all good – and that it’s time to change your situation and learn to receive what is rightfully yours.

It is our soul revealing to us the mirror of our consciousness so that we will take the action to create a new reflection. It is our spirit telling us to come up higher, that there is more to life than that “S” word.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, December 26th, 2016 by Paul Ferrini in THE SILENCE OF THE HEART

Posted on December 25, 2016 by jmaz479

“Appreciation and approval are two entirely different things. Appreciation is the natural, spontaneous flow of energy back to you when others feel connected to you and your story. There is nothing you can do to precipitate appreciation other than to be yourself and tell the truth. You simply cannot be in control of what comes back. When you have shared authentically, something essential always comes back. It may not look like what you expect, because what your ego is looking for is not appreciation, but approval.

The search for approval is based on the consciousness that you are not enough. You want others to give you the love that feels missing in your life. This search is a futile one. If you feel empty and seek to be fulfilled from the outside, others will feel attacked. They will experience your request for appreciation as a demand. They will be repelled or repulsed. And then you will feel even more empty, rejected, abused.”

Posted on December 22, 2016 by jmaz479

“Every in-breath takes you up to the world of essence where form is created, and on the out-breath you send to the world your wishes. Every time you recognize the love you have, you increase it. One of the laws of receiving is that recognizing when you have gotten something increases it in your life, and every time you do not acknowledge something you make it so much harder to have more sent to you.

The more you focus on what is wrong, the more wrong you will create in your life; the more it will spread to other areas that WERE working. The more you concentrate on what is right in your life, what is working, the more other areas of your life will work. It is the same in receiving. The more you acknowledge how much you are receiving, the more you will have.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, December 22nd, 2016 by Don Miguel and Don Jose Ruiz in THE FIFTH AGREEMENT

Posted on December 21, 2016 by jmaz479

“If your beliefs are telling you, “I’m fat. I’m ugly. I’m old. I’m a loser. I’m not good enough. I’m not strong enough. I’ll never make it,” then don’t believe yourself, because it’s not true. These messages are distorted. They’re nothing but lies. Once you can see the lies, you don’t have to believe them. Use the power of doubt to challenge every message that you deliver to yourself. “Is it really true that I’m ugly? Is it really true that I’m not good enough?” Is this message real, or is it virtual? Of course it’s virtual. None of these messages come from the truth, from life; they come from distortions in our knowledge. The truth is, there are no ugly people. There is no good enough or strong enough. There’s no universal book of law where any of these judgments are true. These judgments are just agreements that humans make.

Can you see the consequences of believing yourself? Believing yourself is one of the worst things you can do because you’ve been telling yourself lies your whole life, and if you believe all those lies, that’s why your dream isn’t a pleasant dream.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, December 21st, 2016 by Clarence Diegel in EXPERIENCING LIFE THROUGH THE CHAKRAS

Posted on December 20, 2016 by jmaz479

“As long as you have an attachment to anything, a circumstance, your past, a person, or a need of any type, you will be subservient to the attachment. In a subservient position, you are neither free nor living from the seat of your power.

How do you recognize if you have attachments in your life? Look for things that you consider you need. If you must have a particular outcome to a situation, you have a need. If you feel your safety or happiness will be compromised when a particular outcome is not achieved, you have a need.

When you have an attachment, the need for feeling safe will motivate you to find ways to take control of the situation. The only thing you know to do is to control or manipulate the outcome if possible. If you are not attempting to control or manipulate the situation either subtly or overtly, you may still experience stress through worry or fear about the outcome. When you become aware of your attachments, you may be amazed at the amount of energy expended in maintaining your safety through your attachments.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, December 20th, 2016 by Danielle Rama Hoffman in THE COUNCIL OF LIGHT

Posted on December 19, 2016 by jmaz479

“It is up to you to have fun, to find the fun in it, to find the joy in it, and if you have the curiosity to look for what is fun you will find it. If you are looking for the stress or feeling of being overwhelmed in the situation then you will find that as well. It is all about what you are looking for in each moment. It is for the fun of it these days that you are working; it is for the fun of it these days that you are in relationship; it is for the fun of it that you spend time with your friends and your family; it is for the fun of it that you travel; it is for the fun of it that you have kittens, or plants; it is for the fun of it that you take a shower; it is for the fun of it that you eat; it is for the fun of it that you exercise; it is for the fun of it that you drive; it is for the fun of it that you do or don’t do anything.

Saying that you are doing something for the fun of it carries an entirely different energy that if you say it is for work, for finances, or for the saving of the planet. Those all have a different frequency of tonality than simply saying that it is for the fun of it. When you say it is simply for the fun of it – and that it is so much fun – then you’re able to allow things to be what they are.”

“Until you have the courage to stand up fully inside your life, someone will always be around to abuse you. Indeed, you will keep calling abusers to you till you until you decide that you have had enough. So every time your buttons get pushed, recognize that it is a gift to you, a chance to become conscious of your pattern of self-betrayal.

Don’t blame the abuser. Instead ask yourself, “Why did I allow myself to once again be drawn into a situation in which I am not respected and listened to?” Become conscious of the fear and self-judgment that are running your life. See your low self image. See how you accept love at any price. See how you keep recycling your fear of abandonment because you are afraid to face it head on.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, December 16th, 2016 by Michael Tamura in YOU ARE THE ANSWER

Posted on December 15, 2016 by jmaz479

“Jesus taught us not to be anxious and worry about our life, but to seek first the Source of all creation. Then, he said, all things will be provided us. After all, don’t we go to the faucet when we need water or step outside when we need a breath of fresh air? We naturally seek the source of what we need.

Many of us have, at one time or another, wrongly associated a particular teacher with the source of our truth just because he or she spoke the words that guided us to our inner truth. Then, we end up seeking the teacher for the truth instead of turning our attention toward its real source. Another example is when we panic upon discovering our bank account showing a low balance, as if the bank is the source of our money. Or, if we feel the powerful love within us only when we fall in love with someone, we may mistakenly see our partner as the source of this love. Then, if anything should take that person away from us, we might feel as if our heart was torn asunder and that we would never love again. All of our suffering begins when we lose sight of our Divinity.”

Posted on December 14, 2016 by jmaz479

“Much of the energy that people experience from others comes through the solar plexus, the power and emotional center. Many of your challenges on the path of joy will be to step outside of power struggles and come from a deep level of compassion. If a friend snaps at you ore is unfriendly, step back, and with a sense of compassion, try to experience life from his perspective. You may see his tiredness, or his defensiveness, which has nothing to do with you, for you only represent another character in his play. The more you can step outside and not be pulled into power struggles, the more peaceful and abundant your life will be, and the more you will be in a position to heal others by being in your heart with compassion.”

“Relinquish your need to be right. This is the single greatest cause of difficulties and deterioration in relationships – the need to make the other person wrong, or to make yourself right. To win the argument. To prove they don’t know what they are talking about. To show that you are superior. The spiritual partnership is a relationship of equals. No one needs to be proven wrong. There is no “right” way or “winning” an argument. Each person has the right to his or her own point of view. If you want to see miracles begin to take place in your life, simply let go of the need to make anyone else wrong for a few days and watch how differently things go for you.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, December 13th, 2016 by Alan Cohen in WHY YOUR LIFE SUCKS AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

Posted on December 12, 2016 by jmaz479

“You can keep happy those people who want to be happy, and you can’t keep happy those who don’t want to be happy. It’s as simple as that. The notion of you keeping someone happy is a myth, a dysfunctional agreement, a social-sanctioned illusion. No matter what you do, people will find their own reasons to be ecstatic or miserable. You can tell people exactly what they need to hear to save them grief, and still they will make painful defeating choices. You can show people how to achieve their goals, but if they are not motivated, they will pay no attention. You can remove people from self-defeating situations, and the moment you turn your back, they will return to them. Then, when you finally throw up your hands and should, “I give up!” they may take their life into their hands and step to their next run of power. They had to do it in their way, in their time.

The only person you have the power to keep happy is yourself. Do that, and you will be an extremely positive force in the life of everyone you encounter. You will also know how to deal with them when they have a problem. You can model behavior for others, influence, encourage, and inspire, but you cannot choose for them. Glory Hallelujah! You are free!”

“If you are going to let God be in charge of your life, you have to give up the idea that you “know.” Increasingly, you develop the attitude that your job is just to show up, to be present, to let things happen. You know you are not the one who makes your life work. So you stop trying. You stop trying to figure things out. And you just show up and do what you are asked to do in the moment. You can’t know God’s plan as long as you insist on your own. God can’t be in charge as long as you think you are the boss.”
