BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, March 29th, 2013 by Jack Kornfield in A PATH WITH HEART

Posted on March 29, 2013 by jmaz479

“In the paradox of life sometimes our compassion requires us to say yes and sometimes it requires us to say no. These may seem like opposites but they are not. There is no formula for the practice of compassion. Like all of the great spiritual arts, it requires that we listen and attend, understand our motivation, and then ask ourselves what action can really be helpful. Compassion exhibits the flexibility of a bamboo bending with the changing circumstances, setting limits when necessary and being flexible at the same time.

Compassion allows life to pass through our hearts with its great paradoxes of life, love, joy, and pain. When compassion opens in us, we give what we can to stop the war, to heal the environment, to care for the poor, to care for people with AIDS, to save the rain forests. Yet true compassion also loves ourselves, respects our own needs, honors our limits, and our true capacity.”

Jack Kornfield, in “A Path With Heart”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, March 28th, 2013 by Dianne Eppler Adams in CONSCIOUS FOOTSTEPS

Posted on March 28, 2013 by jmaz479

“Many of us are haunted by persistent, self-critical thoughts like, “What makes you think you can do that? You’ll never do it right? What if you fail?” It doesn’t matter whether you have already proved yourself as capable in a particular arena. The inertia generated by self-critical thoughts can leave you paralyzed and unwilling to step forward to act, when you might just as easily be successful and disprove those thoughts.

Self-criticism is often the cause of depression, apathy, immobilization, and a general lack of direction. Have you stopped to think who is doing the criticizing? Who determined that you are not good enough? Who said you never do it right? Who said you are sure to fail? As children, we are influenced variety of caregivers who probably had a sincere desire to nurture and guide us toward adulthood (as they perceived it, of course). They left us with subtle (or not so subtle) messages about our abilities that stuck with us, buried securely in our subconscious.

We internalized them as “truths” and our actions have been controlled ever since. However, they were merely personal opinions and our caregivers passed on to us…Next time you become aware of an inner self-critical voice, consider who is speaking and decide if you agree that it is really true.”

Posted on March 27, 2013 by jmaz479

“One day God got tired of people. They were always pestering him, asking him for things. So he said, “I’m going away to hide for a while.” So he gathered all of his advisers and said, “Where should I hide? Where’s the best place for me to hide?”

Some said, “Hide on the highest mountain peak on earth.” Others said, “No, hide at the bottom of the sea; they’d never find you there.” Others, “Hide on the other side of the moon; that’s the best place. How are they going to find you there?”

Then God turned to his most intelligent angel and asked him, “Where do you advise me to hide?” The intelligent angel smiled and said, “Go hide yourself in the human heart. That’s the only place where they never go!”

Posted on March 26, 2013 by jmaz479

“Outside of what we think we know about ourselves is only the tip of a huge iceberg, and we cannot neither see nor comprehend it. In a way, we all seem to intuit within us something far greater than what or who we believe we are, but when we explore such possibilities the noise of our minds, the culmination of our histories, experiences, and education, casts a dark shadow over us. In other words, we are literally talked out of what or who we truly are by the chatter of our own minds. Our real identity is buried in the noise of our reason and debate. We accept this noise and debate, identify ourselves with it, and lose our true selves to it. We are not what we think nor are we the past from whence we came or the future where we direct ourselves.

All that exists, hence all that we are, exists right now and only now! We do not exist in the future nor are we victims of any past experience. There is only now and it is neither good nor bad. Now simply is and it is the only place of power any of us have. Most of us give away the power of our present time to our past or to our hopes for the future. Such power, if harnessed right now without the weight of historical suffering or dreams of a better day in the future, would open our eyes to not only the huge iceberg beneath the tip we see, but the entire ocean in which it all resides. Our greatness exceeds any metaphor. We are boundless!”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, March 25th, 2013 by Stuart Wilde in SIXTH SENSE

Posted on March 25, 2013 by jmaz479

“It’s sad that many suffer from not having a purpose in life. But you can see how the problem comes about. Experiencing the activity of life, the ego-personality burns itself out; there is nothing for it to do. Some settle for that and they carry on, accumulating bits and bobs. Nothing much makes them happy, and then they go on to another evolution. Others fling themselves on the spiritual path, which works for a while, but even that peters out, as there are only so many books and seminars and temples you can trot around before you find yourself beyond it all.

In the end, you have to become your own teacher, and you have to find something that has real meaning. It’s part of understanding and expressing the God Force flowing through you. Discovering meaning is not a divine right; we each have to work to discover it. You win “meaning in life” as a special prize by creating energy. A lack of meaning is often a sign of a burnt-out mind that needs a new inspiration.”

Posted on March 22, 2013 by jmaz479

“There is a saying upon your Earth, “I will believe it when I see it.” Yet others have said, “I will see it when I believe it.” Each statement has truth. One is a statement of limitation, the other the doorway to manifestation. Which one do you choose? If you choose to walk around as a saint, what would you do? How would you act? Would you pretend to be something others expect you to be rather than that which you are?

To be a master is to walk your truth. It is easy to talk your truth, but quite another to live it. To be a master is to live your truth. To be a master is to honor all masters for the journey they have chosen. To be a master is not to violate the free-will choice of another. To be a master is to allow no other to violate your free-will choice. To be a master is to be in non-judgment of another, even though they might be judging you in the moment. To be a master is to see the perfection within all that you can see and perceive.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, March 21st, 2013 by Kathleen Martin in UNDERSTANDING UNIVERSAL LAWS 101

Posted on March 21, 2013 by jmaz479

“Whatever you are experiencing, learn to accept where you are. Remember that acceptance is the polar opposite of resistance. Resistance happens when we put our focus and attention on what we don’t want and prevents us from having all that we desire. When we accept things as they are, there is no negative emotion and therefore no resistance. Now, you are in the place of allowing your desires with ease. By accepting whatever the current experience is and at the same time expressing appreciation for the contrast that is causing the clarity of what you do want, you will soon find those things that you don’t want will fall away.

A powerful practice is to write out a list of what you don’t want just for the experience of becoming clear about what you do want; not to pay attention to what doesn’t feel good. Next, write out the list of what you do want. Notice how you become clear about what you do want by paying attention to what you don’t. This exercise will help you to put your attention on the vantage point of what you want so that you can be in the place of attracting your desires.

“Do you believe that God or an Infinite Intelligence is responsible for human life and everything else in the Universe? If the answer is yes, do you see it as an unconditionally loving and supportive energy? It is interesting that the way you view the energy, is exactly the way that you will experience life. If you can bring yourself to honestly and completely believe that it is totally loving, and supportive of everyone, under all circumstances, then you will experience a life of total joy.

As long as you harbor any thoughts that God is less than a totally loving and supportive entity, these thoughts will block you from achieving the peace of mind and joy that you wish to achieve.”

Posted on March 19, 2013 by jmaz479

“Treating any other being or living creature with disrespect is also a sign to the Universe you believe in disrespecting others and thereby attract disrespect to you. People hurt animals often as a way to express their anger and frustration in their own reality. Being an animal lover it pains me deeply when I hear of an animal mistreated in any way. If everybody would understand their own actions and beliefs have created their own feelings of inferiority or frustration in their world, they would not take out their anger on defenseless animals. Further, the action of hurting another animal implies they believe it is acceptable to harm another living thing,so they bring it upon themselves since they believe it is appropriate behavior.

Purposely and knowingly hurting another living creature is demonstrating a belief of one’s own inadequacy. Anyone who is emotionally in balance, believing she is worthy and loved, will treat all other living creatures with respect. Consequently, these people then attract respect to them. The Universal laws of attraction do not apply only to one’s actions towards people, but to all living entities.”

Too many blessings, too little appreciation
And I know that kind of notion – well, it just ain’t cool

Because I’m tired of waiting
for reason to arrive
It’s been too long we’ve been living
these unexamined lives.”

“As you actively wrestle with today’s problems, tomorrow’s achievements fall into place. Your mind’s honest encounter with reality (not how you wish things were) leads you toward the goals you cherish. What you THINK you’re meant to do in life may well turn out (on the far side of experience) to be different from what you now expect. The well-worn adage that life is what happens while we’re busy doing something else reinforces this. Participate with full engagement in whatever happens NOW.”

Posted on March 14, 2013 by jmaz479

“If someone has hurt us, we have a choice. We can either hold on to the negative feelings because of the hurt, or we can choose to let those feelings go. It’s not easy to let go, but there are many ways to heal and come to a place of forgiveness. One very powerful way is through prayer. Forgiveness is not denial of what happened. However, it can help to ease our sense of having been unjustly treated. Learning to forgive lessens the hold the negative feelings have on us.

I’ve used the following prayer many times, on an as-needed basis, whenever I felt that I wanted to forgive someone, or even to forgive myself. I said the prayer every day until I felt some relief from the situation I sat quietly, took a few deep breaths, and then repeated the words slowly to really feel the meaning of what I was saying. I know that it helped to release the anger I had been experiencing. It was a way to begin the process of healing.

Prayer of Forgiveness:
All that has offended me, I forgive.
Within and without, I forgive.
Whatever has made me bitter, resentful, unhappy, I forgive.
Things past, present, and future, I forgive.
I forgive everything and everybody who can possibly need forgiveness of the past or present.
I forgive everyone.
I particularly forgive (enter the name or names of people you wish to forgive here).
I am free and they are free too. All things are cleared up between us now and forever.
I am forgiven for everything.
I am forgiven by everyone.
I now let go of worn out things, worn out conditions, worn out relationships.
Divine order and harmony are now established and maintained in me and in my world.”

Posted on March 13, 2013 by jmaz479

“We can think of life as having three levels, and we can call those levels “beingness,” “doingness,” and “havingness.” Beingness is the basic experience of being alive and conscious. It is the experience we have in deep meditation, the experience of being totally complete and at rest within oneself. Doingness is movement and activity, it stems from the natural creative energy that flows through every living thing and is the source of our vitality. Havingness is the state of being in relationship with other people and things in the Universe. It is the ability to allow and accept things and people into our lives; to comfortably occupy the same space with them.

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: They try to HAVE more things or more money, in order to DO more of what they want, so that they will BE happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first BE who you really are, then DO what you need to do, in order to HAVE what you want.”

“Most people live in the past or the future, without realizing that the present is the most incredible gift of all. It give us the ability to take action now, to make a difference in our future today instead of talking about it like a pipe-dream we are hoping will just happen. The universe is designed to give us whatever it is we want out of life, but most of us are caught up wasting our energy in a way that keeps us from finding what truly matters.

Even when you think you might know what truly makes you happy, it’s important to determine how you came to that conclusion. Do you have your job or career because it is something you chose, or were other factors involved? Did you decide to go to law school because your father is an attorney or to medical school because your father is a doctor? Did you grow up running the family business, being taught that your parents’ dream was your dream too?

Turn off the television, close your eyes, and you might just find what you’re looking for. It may be a step in the right direction at the least.”
