BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, August 10th, 2012 by Jeff Maziarek in SPIRITUALITY SIMPLIFIED

“Money is simply a medium of exchange, and yet if you queried the average person, many would choose to define money as abundance itself. The fact is however, that abundance is much more than money alone. Abundance is the pure potentiality of the God-Force itself, the gift of life and of nature with all of its diversity and splendor, the blessings of perfect health and satisfying relationships, the joyful feeling associated with having a purpose in life.

This and even more is what abundance is really all about, and while money plays a part in it, it is by no means the symbol of abundance. There are – no doubt – millions of people who have significant sums of money, and still perceive themselves as lacking in one way or another. This is not to suggest that money is not important, for in modern society it certainly is. What is necessary for you to learn, however, is to keep money in perspective by recognizing it as simply one aspect of what comprises an abundant life.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, August 9th, 2012 by Don Miguel and Don Jose Ruiz in THE FIFTH AGREEMENT

“Humans have a need to explain and justify everything; we have a need for knowledge, and we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know. We don’t care whether the knowledge is true or not. Truth or fiction, we believe 100 percent in what we believe, and we go on believing it, because just having knowledge makes us feel safe. There are so many things that the mind cannot explain; we have all these questions that need answers. But instead of asking questions when we don’t know something, we make all sorts of assumptions. If we just ask questions, we won’t have to make assumptions. It’s always better to ask and be clear.

If we don’t make assumptions, we can focus our attention on the truth, not on what we think is the truth. Then we see life the way it is, not the way we want to see it…When we don’t believe our own assumptions, the power of our belief that we invested in them returns to us. When we recover all the energy that we invested in making assumptions, we can use that energy to create a new dream: our personal heaven. Don’t make assumptions.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, August 8th, 2012 by Sharon Huffman in GRATITUDE, A WAY OF LIFE BY LOUISE HAY AND FRIENDS

“The key to a happy, healthy, and successful life is gratitude. It uplifts us and sustains and draws us to what we want. We become a magnet for our good. When we give gratitude to life, life gives back to us. When we feel grateful, people, as well as the abundance of the universe, are drawn to us. If you have money problems and you find a penny, FEEL gratitude with great intensity, and you will draw more money to you. When we give thanks for the situations and events in our life that are challenging, knowing that we are being blessed with wisdom from this experience, the very act of gratitude transforms the negative experience into a positive one. When we express gratitude, we draw to us people and situations to be grateful for. That is the magic of gratitude.”

Sharon Huffman, in an essay entitled “Gratitude, The Key to a Happy, Healthy, Successful Life” in “Gratitude, A Way of Life” by Louise Hay and Friends

“Infinite Abundance…You may experience moments of unrest as you begin to realize you are fully responsible for the current situations in your life. What joy you will experience as you release the fears and habits that have kept you captive! You will also learn to release the angst you have held toward others. No longer will any of you need to suppress others in order to experience all you desire…Your passion will surpass anything you have thus far experienced on Earth as each of you works together to support and encourage one another.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, August 7th, 2012 by Annemarie Greenwood and Marissa Campbell in LIFE: LIVING IN FULFILLMENT EVERY DAY

“Detachment is the art of letting go…When people think of detachment, they think of being insensitive, cold or emotionally void – a kind of numb, nonchalant, indifferent attitude, where we walk around and interact with people projecting an image of being aloof and uncaring. That is not the detachment I want you to embrace…Detachment comes when we stop fighting the flow of life – when we no longer react to everything that gets thrown our way but accept it and move on. ‘It is what it is’ is a valuable statement to embrace, in that it always is just what it is.

The problem is not that life is the way it is and that things constantly happen and inevitably change; the problem lies in the quandary that we have a particularly troublesome habit of pinning the labels good or bad to life. Without that label or categorization of things, events and circumstances, things are just things, events are just events, and circumstances are just circumstances. We may not want to dwell on them or experience them for long, but if we remove the label of good or bad, they are really just what they are, another set of lessons and experiences. Don’t get caught up in the label game.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, August 6th, 2012 by Sanaya Roman in SPIRITUAL GROWTH: BEING YOUR HIGHER SELF

“The more you try to do things logically, the more you make lists and force yourself to follow them, the more rushed you will feel. Although lists can help you focus, remain flexible and listen to your feelings. You can no longer figure out when to do things solely by using logic and still be in the higher flow where things happen easily. Follow your feelings rather than your lists, and you will find them leading you to your goals in the highest, most efficient ways.

If you follow your intuition, taking action only when it feels right, things will get done in much less time than you would expect, and you will be able to do far more than you can imagine.”

“The decision to take responsibility for discovering your inner “truth” requires that you embark on a quest to develop your own spiritual philosophy. This does not automatically mean you must completely discard your traditional religious beliefs, but it does require that you be willing to question literally every aspect of what you have been taught. It also means that you learn to challenge everything you hear and read as you move along this path, including the contents of this book.

In other words, you no longer simply accept something based solely on what another person’s religious doctrine, or philosophical author tells you is true. Instead, you closely examine it and ask yourself if that truth actually feels right to you. If the insight or concept doesn’t resonate positively within you, this is usually a clear signal that it is time for you to put it aside and replace it with something that will.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, August 2nd, 2012 by Anita Moorjani in DYING TO BE ME

“Sweeping statements such as “Negative thoughts attract negativity in life” aren’t necessarily true, and can make people who are going through a challenging time feel even worse. It can also create fear that they’re going to attract even more negativity with their thoughts. Using this idea indiscriminately often makes people going through seemingly tough times feel as though they’re bad for attracting such events, and that’s just not true. If we start to believe that it’s our negative thoughts that are creating any unpleasant situations, we can become paranoid about what we’re thinking. On the contrary, it actually has less to do with our thoughts than with our emotions, especially what we feel about ourselves.

It’s also not the case that attracting positive things is simply about keeping upbeat. I can’t say this strongly enough, but our feelings about ourselves are actually the most important barometer for determining the condition of our lives! In other words, being true to ourselves is more important than just trying to stay positive!”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, August 1st, 2012 by Fr. Anthony DeMello in AWARENESS

“Take a look at the world and see the unhappiness around you and in you. Do you know what causes this unhappiness? You will probably say loneliness or oppression or war or hatred or atheism. And you will be wrong. There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.

Because of these false beliefs you see the world and yourself in a distorted way. Your programming is so strong and the pressure of society so intense that you are literally trapped into perceiving the world in this distorted kind of way. There is no way out, because you do not even have a suspicion that your perception is distorted, your thinking is wrong, and your beliefs are false.

Look around you and see if you can find a single genuinely happy person—fearless, free from insecurities, anxieties, tensions, worries. You would be lucky if you found one in a hundred thousand. This should lead you to be suspicious of the programming and the beliefs that you and they hold in common. But you have also been programmed not to suspect, not to doubt, just to trust the assumptions that have been put into you by your tradition, your culture, your society, your religion. And if you are not happy, you have been trained to blame yourself, not your programming, not your cultural and inherited ideas and beliefs. What makes it even worse is the fact that most people are so brainwashed that they do not even realize how unhappy they are.”

“Anything in this vast Universe is possible. Do not allow anyone to tell you differently. If everyone doubted their ability to accomplish their dreams we would have no automobiles, no aircraft, no electricity, no computers, and we would still believe that the world was flat. Connect to the immense power of the celestial force and realize how much in life is actually achievable and within your reach. Tap into your vibrant energy center and set yourself up for greatness. Always remain conscious of the fact that limits, boundaries, “cant’s,” impossibilities, and restrictions are all part of your finite ego and have nothing to do with the truth of the boundless cosmos.”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, July 30th, 2012 by Polly Campbell in IMPERFECT SPIRITUALITY

“What we want and what our spirit needs, is to be whole and harmonious, to feel complete and aligned with mind, body, and spirit. When we spend time trying to fix and deny and hide entire dimensions of ourselves, we move out of that alignment. That derails our best efforts and biggest dreams by leading us further from spirit. We do things like gossip and Facebook frequently. We drink too much and shop too much and work too much in an effort to avoid the uncomfortable feelings, the uncertainties, and the truth of all that we are.

These things work for a bit. They keep us busy so we have little time for introspection. But then those frivolous time wasters or addictions become one more reason to beat ourselves up, another imperfection that we have to go about fixing or hiding. When we decide to see who we are, we become free. Then there is room for growth. We move from feeling trapped and stuck into a position of openness and gratitude for all that we are. We become more accountable for our actions and our lives.

Research by psychology professor Mark Leary indicates that people who admit their mistakes seem to rest easier, be more responsible, and more compassionate. Understanding our imperfections frees us to explore different avenues of self-understanding and improvement. This is not mediocrity; it is movement. How are you go and how much you grow all depends on your motivation.”

“The truth is you actually spend very little time being fully aware of what is occurring in any given moment. If you are like most people, your mind is always trending towards thoughts about the past (i.e., regrets, anger, reminiscing), or thoughts about what may or will occur (i.e., worries, anticipated events).

The present is real simply because it is the only time that your total being (i.e., mind and body) actually experiences. Ponder on this for a moment: “Is your body ever physically in the past or the future when you’re thinking about either of them?” The answer is of course a resounding NO, which makes it very obvious that any time other than the present exists solely within your mind. So, as your mind continues its habit of wandering both forward and backward, you are obviously not taking full advantage of the only worthwhile time you actually do have.”

“Visualization by itself is a marvelous process for attracting to us what we desire. The problem is that what I call our “human-ness” gets in the way. Being human, our minds and emotions kick into gear and become engulfed in achieving our goal. Therefore, as quickly as we do our first visualization on our goal or desire, we become attached to it. And if we are attached to our goal or desire, then our mind and emotions begin to monitor, manage, control, validate, adjust, push, and comment on every step and occurrence in the process of obtaining our goal.

We get frustrated if we do not see progress as soon or as fast as we expected. If we do not see the type of progress we anticipated, then we quickly make adjustments in the approach. We continually check and re-check our approach and become more assertive and aggressive to ensure we reach our goal. We begin to visualize much more often, writing out and looking at pictures of our goal more often. All of these actions and feelings are based in fear, because we have become attached to our goal.

Let go of your attachment to the goal. Allow it to breathe. KNOW that your goal can be obtained if you are preparing correctly and have the correct mindset.”

“As we grow older, it becomes apparent that to defer constantly to others and seek their approval is not the most efficient way to get ahead. Yet, most of us continue with this ineffective behavior. Sometimes, we experiment with selfishness but usually discover that it produces bad feelings within us as a result of our early conditioning. “Nice” people aren’t supposed to be selfish too often. Even though we know that success in our endeavors requires a certain measure of self-centeredness, we continue to be nice. The only reward for this is our self-righteousness about our great “virtue.”

So it is with many of the other “selfless” virtues. But this is, in fact, pretentious and covert behavior. Often we disguise our concern for ourselves as concern for others, and we continue to purchase the approval of others by giving up our right to get our own way. We often allow others to treat us unfairly because we do not want to confront or challenge them, nor do we wish to disturb our deeply ingrained notions of right and wrong. Instead, we comfort ourselves with feelings of moral superiority. We tell ourselves that we are above engaging in conflict over unimportant trifles. But despite what we think, we turn the other cheek; not because it is right, but because it is easy.”

“Your emotional, physical, mental and spiritual health are entwined. When one facet of yourself is off balance, it affects the whole. Do all you can to keep yourself healthy in all of these arenas. Take time to meditate on ways you can maintain your balance by role-playing various scenarios that are likely to occur.

[When having problems with others…] Send heart-to-heart love connections, even if at first they feel phony. With practice, there will come a moment when you will accept this person unconditionally. It is not unusual for these relationships to develop into deep relationships, for you will have connected at a soul level, one beyond the bounds of judgment and criticism. Pay attention to your emotions, for they are your greatest teachers!”

“Any discomfort we experience is a result of locking energy in our bodies. More particularly, it is a result of attaching thoughts to feelings. Something occurred in our experience which we interpreted in a way that created the attachment. This usually occurs when we perceive that another person is expressing less than unconditional love and support for us. Such a judgment stops the free flow of feelings through our bodies.

How then do we release the energy block? Stated another way, how do we detach the thought or judgment from the feeling? From my examination of the various alternatives offered, I find the simplest and most effective to be the concept of forgiveness, which is really the complete suspension of judgment.

As we practice forgiving the person we previously judged, or are judging, as unloving toward us, we loosen the attachment of the judgment to the feeling. Since some of our judgments run deep and strong, we must practice forgiveness for an extended period, until we release the judgment totally.”
