BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, September 19th, 2016 by Neale Donald Walsch in FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

Posted on September 18, 2016 by jmaz479

“There is no time that you are ever alone. I am always with you, and you are always with Me. That’s number one. And it’s an important place to begin, because it changes everything. If you think you are really alone, it could be devastating. Just the thought of total aloneness itself, without anything else going on, could be devastating. That’s because the very nature of the soul is unity and Oneness with All That Is, and if it appears that there is nothing and no one else, then an individual could feel just that – individual, and not One with anything else at all. And that would be devastating, because it violates your deepest sense of Who You Are.”

God, as spoken to Neale Donald Walsch, “Friendship with God”

“Judgment is placing a value system on your experiences. Judgments come from your perceptions of experiences. An experience is an experience; that is all it is. It is simply a happening, an event. However, your perception of the experience empowers it. If you perceive an experience to be enriching, positive, and one that enhances the quality of your life, then you are happy and therefore will judge (value) the experience as good.

Likewise, if you perceive the same experience to threaten your safety in any way, then fear will rise up, and the perception will begin to limit you. You will then judge (value) the experience as bad. It does not take much thought to realize you place values (judgments) on many of your experiences. Besides judging your personal experiences, you also judge other people, events, situations, and circumstances that appear not to directly affect you.

The perceptions of your experiences dictate how you live and the prison you have created for yourself. As long as you have a need to judge, you shall always be imprisoned. Every time you hold a judgment of an experience, a person, or any event, you feed energy that keeps the imprisonment in place not only for yourself, but also for the particular arena of the experience, the person or the situation.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, September 15th, 2016 by Edwin Harkness Spina in MYSTIC SECRETS REVEALED

Posted on September 14, 2016 by jmaz479

“Early in life, you may have been led to believe that it’s not good to change your mind. There are numerous words with negative connotations associated with those who do change their minds: fickle, indecisive, hesitant, unsure, wavering, erratic, or wishy-washy. You’d much prefer to be known as steadfast, decisive, confident and sure…right?

Skilled manipulators used this near-universal conditioning against you every day. For example, has a salesman ever asked you, “Are you in a position to make a decision today?” Once you agree to this proposition, you’ll feel pressure to “make a decision today,” and buy the product, even if you have reservations. After all, if you don’t buy, you’d likely be considered “indecisive” by either the salesman or yo own self-doubting ego.

But this is not what changing your mind is all about. Changing your mind means that after thinking about the subject or after gathering more complete information, you came to a different conclusion – a better and more informed decision. This is not being indecisive. It’s being logical, prudent and wise.”

Posted on September 13, 2016 by jmaz479

“Quit talking about disasters at the water cooler. Don’t read the newspaper or watch the news while you are eating. What you think and feel while you eat profoundly impacts your digestion and health. If you wake up to a clock radio, set it for a time other than the hour or half-hour, so you awake to music rather than who got squashed overnight.

Don’t watch the news just before you go to sleep. (And you wonder why you aren’t sleeping well?) The thoughts and feelings in which you immerse yourself before you retire set the stage for your dreams, how well you rest, and how refreshed you feel when you awaken. The last thought you think before you go to sleep is the one that ruminates in your subconscious throughout the night and emerges as the first thought you think when you wake up – so make it a good one.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, September 13th, 2016 by Neale Donald Walsch in CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD BOOK 1

Posted on September 12, 2016 by jmaz479

“There is no judgment in what you call the afterlife. You will not even be allowed to judge yourself (for you would surely give yourself a low score given how judgmental and unforgiving you are with yourself in this life). No, there is no accounting, one giving “thumbs-up” or “thumbs-down.” Only humans are judgmental, and because you are, you assume that I must be. Yet I am not – and that is a great truth you cannot accept.

Nonetheless, while there will be no judgment in the afterlife, there will be opportunity to look again at all you have thought, said, and done here, and to decide if that is what you would choose again, based on Who You Say You Are, and Who You Want to Be.”

“You may not have enough actual food to feed everyone in the world but you certainly have some form of nourishment to share with each person you meet. You may be much more capable of nourishing another’s soul hunger than cooking up a bowl of soup, or you may be able to do both. You may be naturally inclined to tend to the emotional needs of others rather than explain everything to the fulfillment of their intellect.

Even if you cannot readily provide physical shelter to others, you may have ample emotional shelter of your trust and reassurance to offer them. You can cover a naked person with the shirt off your back or you can give much needed support to one who has just experienced humiliation and is feeling totally exposed. You may be able to bring hope to a prison inmate or you may have the tools to help liberate people who are stuck in the prison of their habits, relationships or jobs. When you don’t have money to share, you might have the time. Every day, Life within each of us experiences some from of hunger, thirst, alienation, exposure, illness or incarceration. Surely, we can each find one way or another to share our abundance with life.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, September 9th, 2016 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOU’LL SEE IT WHEN YOU BELIEVE IT

Posted on September 8, 2016 by jmaz479

“Work each day to clear yourself of the two factors that do the most to inhibit your personal transformation: negativity and judgment.

The more negative your thoughts, the more likely you are to look exclusively at the physical side of you, and to behave in such a way as to destroy your body as well. Every negative thought is an inhibitor to personal transformation. It keeps you clogged up just as cholesterol clogs up an artery. When you are filled with negativity, you are kept from attaining higher and more bountiful levels of happiness.

The inclination to judge others also serves as a gigantic inhibitor of your personal transformation. When you judge another person, you do not define him or her, you define yourself. Your judgment of another says nothing at all about that person; it only says that you need to judge the person in the way that you are doing. So you are saying more about yourself than about the other.”

Posted on September 7, 2016 by jmaz479

“Your business or job is not your source of income. I’ll bet you’ll read that again. But that’s right. Your business is not your source of income. Your clients are not your source of income. Your job is not your source of income. Even your savings and investments are not your source of income.

There is only one source of income. That source is The Source – that Universal Intelligence that you may refer to as Universe, God, Infinite Intelligence, Divine Mind, Spirit, All That Is, the Field of All Possibilities. All of those other avenues are “channels” of income, but they are not the source.

As soon as you learn to align yourself with, rely on, and trust the Source for your income, clients, jobs, and every other good thing you could possibly desire, then all of the channels will open for you to receive your good. How many channels? Limitless channels through which your supply can come to you! It is not your job to know them. It is your job to trust your Source, and as you do, both expected and unexpected channels will open and clients and jobs and ideas will increasingly come to you “out of the blue.” So release all ideas that your income and business must be derived from only one particular channel.”

“When people speak to you in anger, saying unkind or untrue things, it is best to learn to forgive them. It is wise to learn not to respond to the negativity or fear in others. Keep your heart open and come from that loving, compassionate, and higher view. There are many who would speak of hard times, who blame others, and create bad feelings through their words and their anger. Learn not to respond with anger but to focus instead on other things.

Do not take offense, for offense taken is as bad as offense given. When you take offense, you contribute to negative energy, and thus there is negative energy around you that can attract more of the same. When you get offended, you close down your heart and thus turn away from your connection to your soul. Do not get offended when people speak from anger or fear, for it is coming from a lesser self. Learn to focus on their greater selves, for whatever you focus on and pay attention to is what you draw out in the people around you.”

Posted on September 5, 2016 by jmaz479

“The dilemma you face, when you see things you do not like, is to assume that they are not of the Creator, and you create a dilemma for yourself because you cannot believe in a God that would allow suffering, or the abandonment of children, or murder, or war. The evils you speak to are actually mankind acting in his own way, in free will in accord with what he has been taught in an ignorance of his True Self, and in an ignorance of the holiness of all things.

If you damn anything, anything at all, you are putting it outside of the Creator. And, as there is nothing that can be outside of the Creator, what you are damning calls you to it, and puts yourself in ignorance, or in a sense of separation – underline the word sense – of the Creator you say you want to be with.”

“Worry is just about the worst form of mental activity there is – next to hate, which is deeply self-destructive. Worry is pointless. It is wasted mental energy. It also creates bio-chemical reactions which harm the body, producing everything from indigestion to coronary arrest, and a multitude of things in between. Health will improve almost at once when worrying ends.

Worrying is the activity of a mind which does not understand its connection with Me.”

“How often have you begun a project only to have a well-wisher take the tools from your hands, and you wind up with a gate painted green when, in fact, you only wanted to change the hinge? That frustration is what is happening in a cosmic sense to the world today as well-wishers rearrange peoples’ circumstances to fit their view of how things should be.

If you want to change the world, change yourself, then others will be pulled to what you are, will change themselves, and all will come to a gradual understanding. For observation is power, judgment is weakness.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, September 1st, 2016 by Stuart Wilde in THE LITTLE MONEY BIBLE

Posted on August 31, 2016 by jmaz479

“Being light-hearted is angelic, and being angelic is being infinite. And being infinite is easier that being stuck with a bunch of boring grownups who fret over their investments, and who strut and work hard to pay out money for stuff that doesn’t make them happy. If you are suffering from negative emotions or pain, internalize it and work on it on your own. Do not project it onto others. You have to be responsible and own your own pain. Sure you can talk about it to a therapist, or you can share your troubles with a friend, but in the end you are your pain. It’s personal to you. You don’t have a right to project it onto others, leaking anger and disquiet, spoiling their energy by dolloping your stuff upon them. That’s bad karma, as is manipulation, vengeance, and nastiness.”

“Do you know what eternal life is? You think it’s everlasting life. But your own theologians will tell you that that is crazy, because everlasting is still within time. It is time enduring forever. Eternal means timeless – no time. The human mind cannot understand that. The human mind can understand time and deny time. What is timeless is beyond our comprehension. Yet the mystics tell us that eternity is right now.

How’s that for good news? It is right now. People are so distressed when I tell them to forget their past. They are so proud of their past. Or they are so ashamed of their past. They’re crazy! Just drop it! When you hear “Repent for your past,” realize it’s a great religious distraction from waking up. Wake up! That’s what repent means. Not “weep for your sins.” Wake up! Understand, stop all the crying. Understand! Wake up!”

“Remember the words to this Tom Petty song: “Well, I know what’s right. I got just one life in a world that keeps on pushing me around, but I’ll stand my ground…and I won’t back down.” That’s character. More than a few people have forgotten what character is, and they act accordingly. They will do anything to bring people of character down so they’ll feel better about themselves. When you know who you are and where you came from, there is no getting pushed around. I am not talking about armed conflict, but rather human conduct. Don’t play games with people, and don’t get involved with people who do. Majoring in minor things keeps you small. Majoring in major things technically makes you not only a…major…but also a person of high moral character. And that beats mind games every single time.”
