PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, July 12, by Don Miguel Ruiz in THE VOICE OF KNOWLEDGE

“There is nothing to fear anymore; we don’t have to be afraid to die. There is only one force that exists, and when we die, everybody is going back to the same place. Even if we don’t want to, even if we resist, we will return to that place because there is no other place to go. This is the greatest news for everybody. There’s no need to be afraid that we will be condemned when we die. In the moment of our death, I am going back to God, you are going back to God, everybody is going back to God, and that’s it. And it’s not about being good enough for God. God doesn’t care if we are good enough. God just loves us.”

Don Miguel Ruiz, in “The Voice of Knowledge”

“Be aware of your dialogue. It seems obvious, but most are not really aware of how self-destructive their dialogue is. Negative people don’t see themselves that way. They don’t see how negativity is changing their external reality to fit their mind-set and thus destroying the quality of their life. Listen to your dialogue and watch your thoughts. See how much of it is bitching and moaning and expressing weakness, and how much of it has the God Force within it, expressing hope, gratitude, love and well-being. Negativity kills you, never forget that. It’s a weed that eventually chokes you to death.”

“Do not be desirous of having things done quickly. Do not look at small advantages. Desire to have things done quickly prevents their being done thoroughly. Looking at small advantages prevents great affairs from being accomplished.

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, July 7th, 2011 by Matthew Fox in CHRISTIAN MYSTICS

Posted on July 7, 2011 by jmaz479

“Life is a series of letting-go moments: from when we leave the womb – letting to of nine months in our mother’s belly – to the hour of our death and our final leave-taking. Every new beginning involves a letting go: when we go to our first day of school, when we graduate from high school, when we embark on a career or relationship, when we get married and leave single life and other romantic relationships behind, when we become parents. Since life is about letting go, it’s good to develop the habit now with a smile on our faces!”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, July 6th, 2011 by Deepak Chopra in THE WAY OF THE WIZARD

Posted on July 6, 2011 by jmaz479

“Struggle, worry, planning and controlling runs against the grain of life. Life compresses chaos and orderliness together. You cannot have one without the other. If you want to be in the flow of life, you can’t struggle against it at the same time. Therefore, the quester after perfection accepts that he is always going to be uncertain, that she is always going to feel off balance.

Despite the fact that your ego hates unpredictability, the truth is that you have benefited from it again and again. Think for a moment about the unexpected opportunities that have come your way, offers of help you never anticipated, sudden brainstorms and inspirations, impulsive decisions to move or talk to a stranger that opened new horizons. This is the natural way to live.”

Deepak Chopra, in “The Way of the Wizard”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, July 4th, 2011 by Louise Hay in YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE

Posted on July 4, 2011 by jmaz479

Often what we think of as the things “wrong” with us are only expressions of our own individuality. This is our uniqueness and what is special about us. Nature never repeats itself. Since time began on this planet, there have never been two snowflakes alike not two raindrops the same. And every daisy is different from every other daisy. Our fingerprints are different, and we are different. We are meant to be different. When we can accept this, then there is no competition and no comparison.To try to be like another is to shrivel our soul. We have come to this planet to express who WE ARE.”

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

Posted on July 2, 2011 by jmaz479

“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

Posted on July 1, 2011 by jmaz479

“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

Posted on June 30, 2011 by jmaz479

“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.”

Marianne Williamson, in “The Gift of Change”

Posted on June 29, 2011 by jmaz479

“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 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.”

Posted on June 26, 2011 by jmaz479

“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.”

Posted on June 23, 2011 by jmaz479

“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.”
