PONDER on THIS for Saturday, July 2nd, 2011 by Jana Shiloh in HEART FUSION THE MAGIC IMPRINTING OF WATER

“Let’s look at suppression of emotions for a moment. Suppression can keep us dishonest in our relationships with ourselves and with others…Suppression of feelings also requires a huge amount of energy, since you are holding down whatever is not being expressed. In addition, this means that you cannot receive the “Light” or the joy that would otherwise be available to you. When you think of someone with a “stiff upper lip,” you don’t see a person who is vibrant and fun-loving, spreading joy in their wake. This constant suppression creates energy blockages that cause “disease,” very much like a physical toxin!

Expressions like, “It is eating me up” and “It makes me sick” reflect back this reality. How can the self-regulating or self-corrective principle come into play when we are holding ourselves in so tightly that nothing can move or flow? Eventually, the Energetic Matrix gives up and says, “Ok, this is what you want? This is what I will do. I will not move, change, or heal myself. I will surrender to what you want: this stasis of imbalance. I will put all of my energy into keeping the status quo of suppression.”

These rigid places have to be free for our total Being (our Energetic Matrix) to be able to breathe, expand, and evolve!”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, July 1st, 2011 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOU’LL SEE IT WHEN YOU BELIEVE IT

“Our need to forgive is a monumental misperception. The belief that others should not have treated us the way that they did is, of course, the ultimate absurdity. The universe is always working, and so is everything in it, even the things that we have judged to be wrong, improper, cruel, and painful for us and others.

Follow this logic. Someone has harmed you in some way in your past. You feel hurt and angry, and that anger ultimately turns to hatred. This is your hatred. You carry it around with you wherever you go. It is you and you are it. The hatred is all thought and is with you wherever you go. You have given someone permission not only to hurt you once, but to continue controlling your inner life. The hatred infects your life while the other person is still on his/her path doing exactly what he or she knows how to do, independent of your current miserable state.

As long as we blame others for the way we feel today, we will have to wait for them to change before we can grow out of our current immobilized state.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, June 30th, 2011 by Marianne Williamson in THE GIFT OF CHANGE

“Underneath the layer of our normal thinking lies a level of consciousness that is pure love and peace. Yet we cannot reach that consciousness simply by deciding to; we have to dig deep into the ground of our inner being, creating a space of listening for the “small still voice for God.” The more things are happening on the outside, the more important it is to find that stillness on the inside.

Every mistake we ever made occurred because, in the moment we made it, we were not in conscious contact with our highest self. We were not centered in our spirit. That is why making that contact, and spending time each day fostering it, is the single most powerful thing we can do.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, June 29th, 2011 by Paramhansa Yogananda

“I once saw a cartoon drawing of a dog hitched to a small, but well laden cart. The dog’s owner had found an ingenious method for getting it to pull the cart for him. A long pole, tied to the cart, extended forward over the dog’s head. At the end of the pole there dangled a sausage, temptingly. The dog, straining in vain to reach that sausage, hardly noticed the heavy cart he was dragging along behind him.

How many business people are like that! They keep thinking, “If I can make just a little more money, I’ll find happiness at last.” Somehow, their “sausage of happiness” keeps receding from their grasp. As they strain to reach it, however, just see what a cart-load of troubles and worries they drag along behind them!”

“This miraculous healing power in your subconscious mind, if scientifically directed, can heal your mind, body, and affairs of all disease and impediments. This healing power will respond to you regardless of your race, creed, or color. It does not care whether you belong to any church or whether you have any religious affiliations or not. You have had hundreds of healings since you were a child. You can recall how this healing presence brought curative results to cuts, burns, bruises, contusions, sprains, etc., and, in all probability you did not aid the healing in any way by the application of external remedies.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, June 27th, 2011 by Lisette Larkins in DIFFICULT PEOPLE

“Imagine a powerful river winding through hundreds, or even thousands of miles of countryside. It crosses varying terrains of forest, desert, and prairie, until reaching the sea. At its source, perhaps at the might rainforests of the Amazon, several small twigs drop from a branch, floating to the middle of the river. The twigs, although embraced by the mighty foaming water, become part of the river, as they are carried along…Imagine how absurd it would be if one of the twigs struggled to get out of the water and decided that it wanted to change the course of the river.

So, instead of floating downstream from the forest to the desert, it wanted the river’s course to flow back to the rainforest. If the twig were to fly into a furious fit and yell at the river for its indifference, it would be demonstrating normal human behavior when responding to the present moment. In its anger and resistance, it pushes at the river’s bank in a futile attempt to change its meandering course.

It is insanity of the highest order to become angry or resistant to something that already is.

When a person has a negative emotional reaction to an event or circumstance that has already happened, he can be said to be “pushing the river.”

“Your dream is truly worth dreaming. Don’t allow what you do not have in terms of money or resources to stop you. Send a smoke signal out through prayer or by simply writing down on a piece of paper what you need. Release it knowing that what you need will come. Continue your dream of giving and sharing with others. If it is to become a writer, then write. If it is to become a magazine editor, artist, photographer, web designer, doctor, real estate agent, or anything else, know that your gift will make room for you. Take faith in knowing that a space is being reserved just for you. As you give your talents to others, rest in knowing that others talents will be given to you.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, June 23rd, 2011 by Terry Cole-Whittaker in LIVE YOUR BLISS

“The idea that God is angry and must be pacified by means of blood sacrifice and violence against others came from the teachings of Zoroaster, an ancient prophet and religious poet from Babylon. His teachings about an angry, vengeful, and cruel God found their way into Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, polluting the pure message about divine love and our holy nature. This cruel concept of God, and the idea that violence is God’s plan for humanity, has drive, and is still driving, people to commit atrocities against others and justify genocide for the sake of money, power, sex, sensual pleasures, and domination.

Any religion that teaches hatred of others, that says some are chosen and others are not, that says one body type is superior to another, or says that people must war against and destroy anyone who is not of their faith is false. It creates hell on earth instead of heaven.”

“If you don’t get what you want you suffer; if you get what you don’t want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can’t hold onto it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change, free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality. Life is not suffering; it’s just you that will suffer it, rather than enjoy it, until you let go of your mind’s attachments and just go for the ride freely, no matter what happens.”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, June 20th, 2011 by Frank DeMarco in THE COSMIC INTERNET

“You are not alone, and you are not what you think you are. We are all part of one being, just as mystics have always asserted. Our lives here on earth are the invaluable and irreplaceable prelude to our eternal lives, just as religions have always maintained. Life on the other side of the veil that separates the physical and nonphysical – regardless of how difficult we find it to envision – is closely connected to this physical life, and depends on our choices, just as fairy-tales, for instance, have always said.

The world is a struggle between opposing values, a localize battlefield, so to speak, in a far vaster conflict, again, just as religions have always maintained. However, although this is true, it is equally true, as Carl Jung pointed out, that good cannot exist without evil, that any polarity must include opposites, and that therefore for us to be whole we must recognize our own shadow sides.”

“Do you want more money, more prosperity in your life? Then shift from a consciousness of effects (materiality) to a consciousness of cause (spirituality). When you give power to an effect, you are giving it your power. You are actually giving the effect power over you. Does money have power? If you say “yes” – then you have given it your power and you have become the servant.You have reversed the roles. The Inner Presence – the You of you – is truly the money-maker.”

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, June 16th, 2011 by Paul Ferrini in THE SILENCE OF THE HEART

“When you act without regard for others, you do not honor yourself. Every time you attack, you have something to defend. You are always looking over your shoulder to see who or what might be sneaking up on you. This is not a particularly satisfying or dignified way to live. Your fearful thoughts and actions call forth the fearful thoughts and actions of others.

These fear-based interactions become institutionalized in your “eye for an eye” system of justice, which perpetuates the cycle of abuse. By making the perpetrator into a victim, you hope to discourage him from brutalizing others in the future. You don’t understand that all of his rage comes from his perception of himself as a victim and it is that which you are reinforcing by punishing him. If you want to change the criminal, you must stop punishing him and begin to love him. Nothing else will work.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, June 15th, 2011 by Dr. J. Kennedy Schultz in IN ALL THINGS GIVE THANKS excerpted from GRATITUDE: A WAY OF LIFE

“An attitude of gratitude in the midst of all things will allow us to make all things new. It will allow us to make something better out of both the best and the worst that comes our way, because an attitude of gratitude puts us in right relationship with God, the creative power of our lives. And, our creative power flows forth best into our minds and hearts when we are open to it.

So don’t clog up the Divine wavelengths of your consciousness by fears that the good that is coming your way won’t last forever, or that the bad you are experiencing will. Just take the time in the midst of it all to be thankful that there is an eternally durable wisdom at work within you that knows how to use it all to your ultimate advantage. If you do this, you make yourself a person who moves through life retaining the best and discarding the rest as a matter of course. This takes the struggle out of daily living in the funny old world of ours, and sets us free to live more easily.”

“There is so much pain that scours this earth and demeans our way of life. All of us can help change this chain of misery. We can do this by starting with ourselves. Work from the inside out. Start within and then help others. Show them that life is happy when it comes from within. What you do for your life and what the meaning of life means to you, no matter how hard life gets, you have to keep living it. So why not live it in peace? You feel the peace more and more as time goes by. Feel the peace and share it with all acts of kindness and love for who you are becoming.

Let this life be what God meant it to be. God wants this journey to be a wonderful experience, not a tragic one; learn the meanings of his words, to understand all senses of love and one sense of love. Learn of him and his angels so you can learn how they protect you through your life here on earth. Life is a gift, not a punishment. So take this gift and make it the best present you have ever received.”
