PONDER on THIS for Monday, September 28th, 2009 by Al Diaz in BEing THE TITUS CONCEPT

Posted on September 28, 2009 by jmaz479

“At every level of your Life and every area of your Life, what you see, touch, smell, taste, hear, and sense is all coming from you. Does that make sense? If not, it’s alright; most people don’t get it or don’t believe it. I know I didn’t at first. It took me a while to put my ego aside, and stop blaming and faulting others and myself.

Here’s a tip: get rid of the words fault and blame from your vocabulary. If you continue to use them, they will continue to disempower you. So take your power back and stop using them.”

Special PONDER on THIS for Sunday, September 27th, 2009 by Laura Alden Kamm in INTUITIVE WELLNESS

“We have all experienced the power of prayer, whether we recognize it or not. Just do it. Pray. Stay humble. Question, yell, cry, and smile at the Gods above and ask for what you need, want, and desire. You just have to let those in the ether know what you want, pack a bit of emotion behind it, and move your thoughts and thought forms into alignment with your desires. Then stand back, watch, and be grateful!

People often ask me what I think their calling is. I cannot tell you what your calling is, but I can offer this suggestion: Your calling generates feelings in your heart, not in your gut. If the body sensations that are your passion, your inner calling, generate in your heart, you are on target. You can wrestle with it in your gut, but its source is in the heart. If you heart yearns, but the sensations are stronger in your gut, you are off target.”

Posted on September 25, 2009 by jmaz479

“Do you see the similarities among certain people with certain chronic illnesses? Can you see that people with similar personalities will often develop similar physical appearances and health conditions? It is actually quite easy to see when you become aware, and it is quite interesting, too. Realize that these things apply to everyone; so look at yourself honestly and understand that you created what you see – maybe accidentally – and you can just as certainly reverse anything you choose.

Focus on the bad, see yourself as a victim, and wallow in misery if you wish; but remember it is your free will keeping your focus, attention, energy, and life, in disarray. Shift your focus and you will change what you see in your life. Free will simply means that you can choose to not be a victim of your own negativity, or other people’s emotions and attitudes.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, September 24th, 2009 by Sanaya Roman in LIVING WITH JOY

Posted on September 24, 2009 by jmaz479

“You are a worthy individual, no matter what your past, no matter what your thoughts, no matter who believes in you. You are life itself, growing and expanding and reaching upward. All people are valuable and beautiful and unique. Every experience you have had was meant to teach you more about creating love in your life.

There is a fine line between respecting the self and being selfish. Some of you feel you have every right to get angry at others because they hurt you. Honor the feelings of others, but do so in such a way that you also honor your own feelings. To accomplish this you will want to come from a high level of speaking and thinking. Speaking of your anger, yelling and screaming, only puts you in a power struggle with another person and closes both your hearts.

When someone does something you do not like, open your heart before you speak. If you choose to make a statement, offer it as something you feel rather than something someone did. You can say, “I feel hurt,” rather than “you hurt me.” A powerful way to state it is,”I am choosing to feel hurt.” Every feeling you have you have chosen.”

PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 by Joseph Murphy in THE AMAZING LAWS OF COSMIC MIND POWER

Posted on September 23, 2009 by jmaz479

“Think this over for a moment: You cannot buy a healthy body with all the money in the world, but you can nevertheless acquire health through the riches of the mind, such as thoughts of peace, harmony, and perfect health.

It is absolutely essential for you to control your emotions if you want to become emotionally and spiritually mature. You are considered emotionally mature when you release your feelings constructively and harmoniously. If you do not discipline or bridle your emotions, you are considered emotionally immature and not grown up, even though chronologically you may be 50 years old.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 by Shakti Gawai in THE PATH OF TRANSFORMATION

Posted on September 22, 2009 by jmaz479

“We are not machines that can produce the same output each and every day, endlessly. Our mental and emotional states are different on sunny summer days than they are on cloudy winter days. And there are a myriad of other subtle changes throughout the day that affect us. If we can acknowledge and accept these differences each day, we can move more within the flow of life.

In order to get more in touch with our Earth connections, it is essential to be outside a little every day, even if it is just for a few moments. It is only by having that direct contact with the natural world that we can become conscious of the subtle changes occurring throughout the year. If you live in the city, it’s a little difficult to stay in touch with nature, but almost anyone can walk outside, observe the sky, and feel the sun and the air.

Daily physical movement is an important part of maintaining a healthy, happy body and soul. As we move our bodies, the life-force can flow freely through, healing and replenishing our physical form and bringing us pleasure and joy.”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, September 21st, 2009 by Wayne W. Dyer in MANIFEST YOUR DESTINY

Posted on September 21, 2009 by jmaz479

“Be aware of the need to be grateful for the suffering and struggles that are part of the fabric of your life. Sometimes it’s easy to simply be angry at your suffering rather than to know that it is the catalyst for your searching and awakening.

Your ability to know the power of kindness and love most likely grew out of some darkness and pain in your past. Without those experiences you would still be stuck. Addictions teach the elixir of purity. Anger teaches the ecstasy of love. Ingratitude teaches the need for gratitude. Hoarding teaches the pleasure of giving. Your own pain taught you how to be more present and loving with others.

Your chicken pox taught you how to avoid it later in life, by giving you the opportunity to build up the antibodies in your immune system. Life gives exams! Be grateful for those exams rather than critical of them.”

Posted on September 20, 2009 by jmaz479

“As you make progress in mastering your mind, guided by the wisdom of whatever spiritually based path you have chosen, you will at times face abrupt changes. These sudden shifts in consciousness can sometimes throw you that all powerful cosmic curveball, making you question what you are doing and just where you are going with all of this.

We’ve all experienced it. There you are, walking along on your personally fashioned yellow brick road to enlightenment, when suddenly chaos strikes. Old crazy thoughts swirl in and out of your consciousness like tornadoes. What makes it worse is that these are the very thoughts that have beaten you down, shamed you, cursed you, and thrown you into a repressed or depressed state in the past. They are the thoughts that you have been so dedicated to eradicating from your life…On and on they go, rattling around in your consciousness, loud, ugly, and relentless.

But the good news is that when these thoughts arise, it means that they’re lifting away from your body’s cellular memory, as well as from the old constructs of your mind that created the reality. The work you have been doing to master your mind is getting results! You are succeeding at releasing those thoughts and constructs, and you are in the process of changing the binding reality that has kept you shackled; you are fully engaged in creating your new reality.”

PONDER on THIS for Friday, September 18th, 2009 by Pete Koerner in THE BELIEF FORMULA

Posted on September 18, 2009 by jmaz479

“I hear that “living well is the best revenge” Well, life shouldn’t be about revenge, but if you are a “wall puncher,” you may want to consider this alternative. The fact is that living well is the only thing that makes sense. Why else live? Stewing in negative thoughts and emotions is an absolutely ridiculous waste of one’s time and life. You have this one life, right here, right now, and you have free will to do with it as you please. You can choose to spend it being mad at the world, or at those you love; or you can spend it loving the world and the people around you. One leads to joy and fulfillment, one leads to disease and death. That is a well-known, well-documented, medical, and scientific fact, not just some ideological philosophy.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, September 17th, 2009 by Alan Cohen in DARE TO BE YOURSELF

Posted on September 17, 2009 by jmaz479

“To put ourselves through continued suffering because we believe we must atone for past “evil” deeds is self-created suffering. At that point, the lesson we must learn is not related to the original error, but one of releasing ourself from the masochism of unworthiness. We do not need to go out of our way to find ways to pay off our “‘bad karma.” God is clever enough to find ways for us to pay our debts. He will send us enough lessons and challenges, compassionately well-timed, to offset our karmic obligations. We do not need to add to them; He knows His business. I once heard, “Never trouble trouble ’til trouble troubles you.” As I see it, if life is offering us no troubles, we might as well take advantage of the time and enjoy ourselves.”

PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 by Neale Donald Walsch in FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

Posted on September 16, 2009 by jmaz479

“You can’t really know Me if you think about Me too much. That’s because your thoughts contain nothing more than your previous ideas about God. Yet the reality of Me will not be found in your previous ideas, but in your present moment experience.

Think of it this way: your mind holds the past, your body holds the present, you soul holds the future. Put another way, the mind analyzes and remembers, the body experiences and feels, the soul observes and knows.

If you want to access what you remember about God, look to your mind. If you want to access what you feel about God, look to your body. If you want to access what you know about God, look to your soul.”

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 by Ping Li in AWAKENING

Posted on September 15, 2009 by jmaz479

“One popular notion is that we must earn what we want with force and hard work. But life is not about working harder and stronger. It is simply a natural process of uncovering who we really are within. Forcing or controlling will only interrupt the perfection of this process of awakening and enlightening. We attract things to ourselves from moment to moment, according to the state of our being. If we are in a state of perfection with our true selves, we will attract perfection in every area of our lives.

If we let go and release all of our imperfect thoughts, beliefs, visions and feelings,life can be like a beautiful bud that effortlessly and precisely blossoms into a beautiful flower of our true essence. Your journey of higher consciousness and enlightenment will begin when you stop searching outside yourself for answers to true happiness in your life, slow down, let go and become quiet within. Then, everything you seek will come to you effortlessly and precisely. This is the power of your infinite being. Honor yourself for being wherever you are in your journey right now.”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, September 14th, 2009 by Gary Zukav in THE SEAT OF THE SOUL

Posted on September 14, 2009 by jmaz479

“When you ask for guidance or assistance, simply assume that it is immediately pouring forward. You may need to work a while to relax your mind into receptivity, or you may need to have lunch, or drive into town or do whatever it is you need to do in order to relax your mind to hear or to feel, but live in the total assumption that the moment you ask for guidance it is pouring in.

Try looking at life as a beautifully well-organized dynamic. Trust the Universe. Trusting means that the circumstance you are in are working toward your best and most appropriate end. There is no when to that. There is no if to that. It is. Release your specifications and say to the Universe: “Find me where you know I need to be.” Let them go and trust that the Universe will provide, and so it shall. Let your higher self complete its task.”

PONDER on THIS for Friday, September 11th, 2009 by Pete Koerner in THE BELIEF FORMULA

Posted on September 11, 2009 by jmaz479

“It is your subconscious mind which is always operating to create your reality. As such, your subconscious mind is subject to anything it has been fed, for it believes with the faith of a child. It is, in fact your inner child. Since your subconscious has no problems with believing, it manifests everything that you do not manifest through conscious thought, effort, and careful programming of that subconscious aspect of your mind.

By not consciously engaging in the active process of prayer, or affirmative thought, you are not using your power of manifestation. To not use it is to be less than you can be; for what you truly are is a creator and the mechanism of creation is prayer. If your prayer action or conscious thought processes are minimal, and your belief is minimal, then the product of these two variables of creation will be minimal, indeed. The product of these two variables, by the way, is your life and everything you experience as manifest in your life.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, September 10th, 2009 by Marianne Williamson in ILLUMINATA

Posted on September 10, 2009 by jmaz479

“Imagine life to be like a camera. The amount of light in the picture is determined by the size of the aperture at the time the picture is taken. For most of us most of the time, our experience of life and its potential for joy is severely limited by the constriction of our own hearts. It’s as though an aperture has been shut, at least partially, that could be completely open. The joy we seek lies less in something new happening and more in our opening our hearts more fully to the love in our lives already. Only love can make us happy, and only we ourselves can determine its presence or absence inside our hearts. To acknowledge love is to increase its capacity to heal us; to ignore love is to let it slip away.

Look around you while you are in public somewhere or gathered with loved ones. Look into the faces of the people you see, and silently say: “The light of God in me salutes the light of God in you.” Do it for five minutes, minimum. I defy you to do this each day for at least five minutes and not be happy.”

Marianne Williamson, in “Illuminata”
