PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, July 8th, 2014 by Eugenia Oganova in MISSION ALPHA

“There is no right and wrong, only choices. The Soul learns with every action and non-action. It is our ego that wants to be right, basing what is right on what matches its expectations. From the Soul level, reality is unconditional, we are equally loved no matter what we do, it is up to us to strive for a more harmonious existence.

Everything has its timing. Sometimes when we try very hard to make something happen and it does not, or it is too hard to move the energy, it is because of incorrect timing. Every action of every person on this planet (and in the Universe) is timed, like a key that we are supposed to turn at a particular time. It is a very complicated program. So your acceptance of a particular job, moving to a different city or entering a relationship is going to facilitate/activate some other component somewhere else. Yes, we are all that important!”

Eugenia Oganova, in “Mission Alpha”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, July 7th, 2014 by Debbie Ford in THE DARK SIDE OF THE LIGHT CHASERS

“Many people have decided that they WILL NOT be like their parents. But we all must acknowledge that we’ve spent years absorbing our parents’ positive and negative qualities. Our parents did the best they could given their own pasts. We cannot change the way we were raised, and when we’re willing to look for the lessons in our experiences, we’ll be able to see that each incident provided us with an opportunity to learn and grow.

ALL negative events are blessings in disguise. Some of us choose to live under the illusion that bad things happen for no good reason. But pain has a purpose. It teaches us and guides us to higher levels of awareness.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, July 4th, 2014 by Dan Millman in EVERYDAY ENLIGHTENMENT

“Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is. If your spouse or lover leaves you, the amount of stress or suffering each of you experiences depends upon the meanings each of you places on the event. If you believe it to be good, that you are now free, you suffer less; if you believe it is bad, that you are now alone, you suffer more. The only problem in your life is your mind’s resistance to life as it unfolds.

By accepting an event as it occurs – not passively, but by making the best of it – and by accepting your thoughts and feelings and acting constructively, you can reduce suffering and create greater ease and flow in your life. Such acceptance is the practice of everyday enlightenment. You tame your mind not by changing your world, but by changing your response.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, July 3rd, 2014 by Danielle Rama Hoffman in THE COUNCIL OF LIGHT

“We invite you to relax into and trust the process of the cycles of your life. There may be days where you are very busy and other days where you are less busy and less is happening. However, there is the same amount of potential and growth that is occurring in days that are busy and days that are spacious. In this moment we invite you to become more aware of the cycle that is happening in the unseen realms, particularly during the times that are more quiet.

In some ways it is like the arcade coin pusher game that you may have played as a child, where you have a coin that you would put in a slot, and you would try to place it so it lays flat next to coins that already in the game. Then as the bar that slides left to right comes into contact with the newly positioned coin it creates a momentum that pushes the money off to the side (and ultimately into your pocket). Things in your life are inching in the direction of coming down the chute; they are getting closer at times when you take action and others when you don’t need to take an action. Both aspects of the cycle of life create more momentum and traction through which things can manifest in physical form.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014 by Neale Donald Walsch in FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

“If your mind keeps filling with thoughts, just watch that, make that okay. As the thoughts pop in, just step back and observe that this is happening. Do not think about it, just notice it. Do not think about what you are thinking about. Just step back and notice it. Don’t judge it. Don’t get frustrated by it. Don’t start talking with yourself about it, like “Well, here we go again! All I get is thoughts! When do I get to nothingness?”

You can’t get to nothingness by continually complaining that you are not there. When a thought pops in – some extraneous thought about nothing in particular, having nothing to do with the present moment – just notice that. Notice that, and bless it, and make it part of the experience. Don’t dwell on it. It’s part of the passing parade. Let it pass.”

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

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, July 1st, 2014 by Cyndi Dale in ENERGETIC BOUNDARIES

“Healthy relational boundaries attract people who will support our spiritual mission and core personality. Such boundaries will deter, if not totally repel, individuals who might hurt, harm, ridicule, or demean us. When someone unappealing or harmful does enter our energy field, we’ll go on high alert. Our intuitive senses will turn on. If the person is a little negative, we’ll get a twinge, a sensation, a bad feeling, maybe even a skip of our heart or a slight headache. If he or she is downright horrific, our internal signal pulls our all the stops. Our heart will  hammer; our body will shake. Objects might even knock over in our presence without us touching them, because our boundaries are sending such strong energetic signals. We could receive predictive dreams that show us what could go wrong if we let this person into our lives, or the Divine might speak to us directly or through a friend.”

“The next time you find yourself in a room full of people, (it might be a restaurant, church, or a meeting), you may make a wonderful discovery, if you think of it this way: Each person in that room either has someone that loves them, or has someone they love. You are in a “Room Full of Love.” Take a moment to reflect on what you see. Can you feel it? “The Room Full of Love?”

“Look for the benefit in those who are delivering sadness to you. Yes, there is a benefit that accrues to you when you encounter any energy that is lower than the energy of spirit. These people are your greatest teachers! They remind you that you have not yet mastered yourself and they provide you with the here and now opportunity to choose joy and the peace that comes with it. With their expression of sadness you learn how to transcend that energy and use it as a guide.

Best of PONDER on THIS for Friday, June 27th, 2014 by Sanaya Roman in LIVING WITH JOY

“If you spend time feeling bad about something you did, feeling that you were not powerful, or that you did not say the right thing, of if you focus on the things you are not, you increase their power over you. Instead, recognize the qualities you have. Take the things you want to become, and remember those times when you demonstrated those qualities. The more you see within yourself what you want to become, the more you will become it.

If you say to yourself, “I have no will power, I never get things done,” then you are simply sending that energy out into the future. If, on the other hand, you begin saying to yourself, “I love the way I act around people; I have so much will power I am so focused,” you will experience a new energy coming up from within. You will find yourself becoming that quality. Every time you have a negative image of yourself, saying things such as, “I never get things done, I don’t have enough time,” you send out an image to the world, broadcast that quality, and create that circumstance in your life. If you say positive things about yourself, you will become them also.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, June 26th, 2014 by Paul Ferrini in THE SILENCE OF THE HEART

“When you are in acceptance of your life, you do not refuse to give your gifts because they do not meet your expectations. You give them because they are there to be given. Because the opportunity to give presents itself. And in the giving of those gifts, your destiny is revealed.

Only the God within you knows why your outer life looks a certain way. She knows but she cannot tell you because you would not understand. But when you begin to trust the gifts that have been given you, the purpose of your life becomes clear. You understand. You may not be able to put it into words, but you understand. You see how every lesson, every constriction, every problem, every moment of suffering was absolutely necessary for the gift to be revealed. For the gift to be trusted. For the gift to be given and received.

When you are in acceptance of your life, you are profoundly grateful, because you see and feel that a greater intelligence is operating in your life. That intelligence rests inside your heart and the heart of all beings. It serves your good and the good of others simultaneously. It honors all.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, June 25th, 2014 by James Redfield in THE CELESTINE PROPHECY

“As we discover more about the energy dynamics of the universe, we will see what really happens when we give someone something. Right now, the only spiritual idea about giving is the narrow concept of religious tithing. The scriptural notion of tithing is interpreted most commonly as an injunction to give ten percent of one’s income to a church. The idea behind this is that whatever we give will be returned many times.

But giving is really a universal principle of support, not just for churches, but for everyone. When we give, we receive in return because of the way energy interacts in the universe. Remember, when we project energy into someone this creates a void in ourselves, which, if we are connected, fills up again. Money works exactly the same way. Once we begin to give constantly, we will always have more coming in than we could possibly give away. And our gifts should go to the persons who have given us spiritual truth. When people come into our lives at just the right time to give us the answers we need, we should give them money.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, June 24th, by Eugenia Oganova in AWAKENING THE HARMONY WITHIN

“How do you know what is right for you? Most people never ask this question because they do not know the answer is inside. They tend to either do what everyone around them does without ever questioning it, or they research what is “the best thing out there” according to some group of people or an expert in that field, and follow that direction. But with so many options today it is essential to have discernment from within.

When we do what everyone does, we are asleep, there is no self-awareness at that point, and a person is on autopilot of their karma. When we blindly follow what someone else says is the “best thing,” we give away our authority. This is detrimental to self-development. There are hundreds of healing modalities available for us today, but only through inner discernment will we know if homeopathy is right for us, or if we need to use traditional allopathic medicine, or whether we need to practice a particular healing technique or not.

As we become more and more self-aware and listen to our personal truth resonance, we become able to know which information is good for us. Discrimination within the mass of available information (books, medical research, channelings, Internet, different teachers, research) leads us to absorbing only what is right for us.”

“Who are the people who seem to be able to push your buttons and send you into a frenzy? Your spouse? Your children? Your parents? A certain employee? Your boss? A neighbor? I’m talking about the ones who really seem to get to you. Anyone else might say the same thing and you are able to blissfully ignore them and even respond in your most spiritual and unconditionally loving tone, “Thank you for sharing.” Obviously those people do not present any threat to your being an instrument of peace.

It’s those button pushers, the ones who succeed in sending you into a state of frustration and turmoil with a simple look of disapproval or a frown, who are your greatest teachers.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, June 20th, 2014 by Arnold Patent in YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL

“Changing the world around us really doesn’t ever give us more than temporary pleasure. Changing the world around us is exhausting. Most of us spend our entire lives changing things in our environment in an effort to improve the quality of our lives. We seek more money, newer and fancier cars, more expensive houses, and more beautiful clothes as ways to feel better. The pleasure brought by this approach is only short-lived. It cannot last, since it results from an illusory belief, which is contrary to our reason for being. We are not here to accumulate things or to amass wealth.

The Universe created us to express ourselves as perfect reflections of itself. We are the vehicles of the Universe. We serve one another by giving freely of our talents and rendering services or making products which we create by virtue of these talents. The natural result of this process is that money and other material wealth flows easily throughout our lives. Whenever we reverse this process and make money the primary motivating factor, we lose. Seeking money, or other material things, invariably puts us in a position where we fail to support other people as our first priority.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, June 19th, 2014 by Daniel Ryan in HEALING FROM HEAVEN

“The mind is a very powerful thing. It has the ability to fill in gaps of information and complete the picture that you are seeing or feeling automatically without a single conscious thought. This subconscious projection is a product of past experiences and belief systems of which you may not even be aware. Conversely, that which you are not open to, you will not experience. If you have a rigid idea of what life is supposed to look like, then that is what you will see. We are masters of our own being, and we have the ability to create our own reality. Here arises an opportunity to create your own gap consciously by disempowering the mind and creating a gap in time as we know it. By quieting the mind, we can enter a timeless space of infinite potentiality.”

“If you’re dissatisfied, it’s like having a perpetual itch that you can’t scratch. You’ve got to make these current circumstances right. Roam around your house and say, “This is right.” At work, say, “This is right at this moment. Tomorrow it may change.” Wander mentally around your life, and make each and every situation right and holy. Tomorrow it may change, but right now it is perfect. The circumstances of your life are an external manifestation of your thoughts and feelings. You learn from them. Bless them for that; don’t fight them.

When you stop fighting yourself – when you can accept that the way it is, is the way it is, you’re free. Say that to yourself three or four times a day. “The way it is, is the way it is, I accept that.” You see, you don’t need perfection, just progress. Everything can be gradually changed for the better. Meanwhile, it is the way it is. Once you can come out of acceptance, you’re free, completely free, because you’re no longer in the emotion, fighting with yourself.”
