PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, December 31st, 2008 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in REAL MAGIC

“When you say to yourself, “I don’t have enough money,” or, “I don’t have enough education, talent, or strength to experience prosperity,” you are operating in your mental world from a position of lack. Hence, you are unable to go into the world of real magic.

To overcome this way of thinking, you will have to reeducate, or better yet, de-hypnotize yourself from the lie that has been foisted upon you by every strand of our Western culture. Everything that you need, you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality.”

   Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in, “Real Magic”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 by Marianne Williamson in ILLUMINATA

“The opening of the heart is an awesome personal politic, providing us with an internal strength greater than any worldly power. As we receive God’s love and impart it to others, we are given the power to repair the world. As we give up our collective enslavement to the dictates of Western materialism, we relinquish the increasingly primitive belief that the world outside remains unaffected by our thoughts.

We have begun to recognize that our individual minds create our collective realities, and we are ready to take responsibility for the world by taking more seriously our individual contributions to it. Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world IS us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.”

Marianne Williamson, in “Illuminata”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, December 29th, 2008 by Chérie Carter-Scott, Ph.D. in IF LIFE IS A GAME THESE ARE THE RULES

“To respect your body is to hold it in high regard and honor it. Respect is treating your body with the same care you would give any other valuable and irreplaceable object. Learning to respect your body is vital. When you respect your body, you are in partnership with it. You become grounded in your physical body and able to benefit from all it has to offer you. Respect carries reciprocal energy. Your body will honor you when you honor it. Treat your body as a structure worthy of respect and it will respond in kind. Abuse it or ignore it and it will break down in various ways until you learn the lesson of respect.”

PONDER on THIS for Sunday, December 28th, 2008 by Gloria Wendroff in HEAVENLETTERS

“You will find a message in your life today. You will stumble upon it. It will find its way to you. It is marked for you. Be alert to a message today. You do not know from where it will come, but today a message will arrive, and you must reach it. It comes to you, but you must reach out to receive it and then listen to it, for it has something important to say to you.

There is much you do not yet know, but a huge impulse is on its way to you and will create a great wave in your life. Be not daunted. Welcome it. This is the message you have been waiting for…You wonder how this can be true for everyone who reads this message. Do not waste your breath on such wondering. Wonder about the grander scale. Wonder about what is, not how it can be.”

PONDER on THIS for Friday, December 26th, 2008 by Pete Koerner in THE BELIEF FORMULA

“Prayer is the key to unlocking the power within each of us. Everyone prays, in one way or another, because everyone thinks. Some part of each of us believes that we can simply ask for what we need and it will be given unto us. If we could simply unite that part of us with the rest of us, we might then be able to find more effective means of prayer. I am not simply suggesting that we will find more elaborate poems and praises, but prayer techniques that actually bring about definitive and rapid results or answers.

This power within us is not imaginary, nor is it unreliable like a car that may or may not start when it is cold outside. This power is always there and is only limited by the amount of energy that you put into it and the amount of belief you possess. I am indeed saying that if you truly believe, and truly understand the mechanism with which you pray, you will better understand the entire process of prayers, and the manifestation of the answers to those prayers. You will also find that you are praying more effectively, realizing tangible results much more quickly and profoundly than ever before, and seeing the miracles of God everywhere you turn. Prayer works in a very real sense.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, December 25th, 2008 by Don Miguel Ruiz in THE FOUR AGREEMENTS COMPANION BOOK

“When we understand that evil is nothing but a disease of the human mind, we understand why human societies are the way they are, why there is all the injustice, violence, and war. We have ingested Parasites in the form of beliefs, in the form of concepts, in the form of distorted images. All of the personal drama that we experience – all the emotions that burn us up, that lead us into self-destruction, into addictions, into lies, into dogmas and fanaticism – are the result of our beliefs, the result of a program.

If we can see that we get sick by eating knowledge, then using logic, how can we heal ourselves? What happens when we eat food that is contaminated and we don’t feel well? If we throw up and get rid of the poison, we are going to feel better. Well, if we get rid of the knowledge that harms us, guess who goes out with that knowledge? Once we take the Parasite out of the mind, the mind will heal and will function much better.”

PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 by Gloria Wendroff in HEAVENLETTERS

“You are receiving messages from Me day and night. I am ever sending you messages. And they reach you. That is My part. Now it is yours to open them. Often you do not even notice their arrival, so how can you open them? You left them piled up outside your door like newspapers. Pick up My messages. They are for you. And they are good news for you.

The headlines read: GOD WANTS YOU. But you think, Oh-oh, what does He want me for? But My messages are nothing for you to fear. You are guilty of nothing. You fear you are guilty of something, and that you have a tongue-lashing or worse coming. No, you have love coming.

With our without your awareness of My messages waiting for you, you fear that there is some doom trying to catch up to you. What is the contrary of doom? I think it is good fortune, love, your desires’ answers coming to you…God has love letters for you. What do you think this is that you are reading right now?”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOUR SACRED SELF

“If you were raised on blame, it is a habit for you to reach for this excuse whenever you wish to explain why something is not working in your life. The alternative to blame is self-responsibility – becoming an inner-directed person. You may not have been taught to consider taking responsibility for the events in your life. But if you are unwilling to discontinue the blame game, you will be unable to initiate your sacred quest.

When you blame something outside of yourself for the circumstances you are experiencing, you give control of your life to that outer phenomenon. The key to you is always within. When you let go of blaming others and search within for your key, you will always find what you need. Instead of blame, you can choose to know that all of the events and people who have shown up in your life have had a divine role.”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, December 22nd, 2008 by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale in THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING

“To change your circumstances, first start thinking differently. Do not passively accept unsatisfactory circumstances, but form a picture in your mind of circumstances as they should be. Hold that picture, develop it firmly in all details, believe in it, pray about it, work at it, and you can actualize it according to that mental image emphasized in your positive thinking.

This is one of the greatest laws in the universe. Fervently do I wish I had discovered it as a very young man. It dawned on me much later in life and I have found it to be one of the greatest, if not my greatest discovery, outside of my relationship to God. And in a deep sense this law is a factor in one’s relationship with God because it channels God’s power into personality.”

PONDER on THIS for Friday, December 19th, 2008 by Pete Koerner in THE BELIEF FORMULA

“We have all heard of the idea of writing things down in order to have them come to pass. Grocery lists, to-do lists, memos, wish lists, gift registries, letters to Santa, and other reminders make sure we follow through with our desires, or that our desires are communicated to others – sort of “written prayers.” Plans, blueprints, recipes, and driving directions, likewise, offer guidance to others as an unseen idea is transformed from thought to thing. Besides the obvious fact that just any old ingredients, combined in just any old way, won’t necessarily produce the results you seek; writing down your desires allows others to participate in ways that, ideally, will complement, or speed the manifestation of, your desire. Writing a thing down turns an invisible, non-physical thing into a physical thing others can see and act on.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, December 18th, 2008 by Neale Donald Walsch in ABUNDANCE AND RIGHT LIVELIHOOD

“I learned a great lesson from an extraordinary woman many years ago. Her name was Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, and I came to know her personally. And one day Elisabeth and I were driving down the road together, and I said that I really wanted to do something, but it would require me to quit my job in order to do it, and I didn’t think that I could that for a lot of reasons, not the least of which there were many other people depending on me to be where I was.

Elisabeth looked at me quite calmly, and, in her heavy Swiss accent, said to me, blinking very slowly, “I see, and what vould all dees people do, do you sink, if you simply died tomorrow?” I said, “Well, that’s an unfair question, because I’m probably not going to die tomorrow.” And she looked at me, and she said, “No, you’re dying right now.”

PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 by Asara Lovejoy in THE ONE COMMAND

“We mostly imagine paying out what we owe and therefore see the flow of cash and prosperity running through our hands towards another destination. We constantly imagine paying the bills or worry about the bills we have to pay. Yes, we have to tell the truth about our finances and know what is due. Make a list and write it down; then concentrate on seeing all that amount of cash and more rushing to you, into your environment, into your bank account, into your life.

When you imagine and visualize this cash and financial bonus and wealth coming to you, it does. Eventually, it does in such a profound way that you will find you always have more than you need to cover any and all bills and eventually you pay off your credit cards and mortgages, with plenty of savings, and with large amounts of extra cash to spare.

When you are creating from your Source Mind, with the equal amount of emotion that you have expended in fearful thoughts, and in the equal strength of desire to attract cash to you, not only do you have that cash and financial good, you also have a greater sense of accomplishment and fulfillment within you.”

“When you go through life with preferences but don’t let your happiness depend on any one of them, then you’re awake. You’re moving toward wakefulness. Wakefulness, happiness – call it what you wish, is the state of non-delusion, where you can see things not as YOU are, but as THEY are, insofar as this is possible for a human being. To drop illusions, to see things, to see reality.

It is that addition that makes you unhappy. I repeat: You have added something…a negative reaction in you. Reality provides the stimulus, you provide the reaction. You have added something by your reaction. And if you examine what you have added, there is always an illusion there, there’s a demand, an expectation, a craving. Always.

Examples of illusions abound. But as you begin to move ahead on this path, you’ll discover them for yourself. For instance, the illusion, the error of thinking that, by changing the exterior world, YOU will change. You do not change if you merely change your exterior world. It’s like imaging that you change your handwriting by changing your pen. Or that you change your capacity to think by changing your hat.”

“All the times you have said that, if you were God, you would design a different world. Confess. You have ideas for what you would add, and what you would take away, but upon what are your ideas based? Momentary fears, regrets, wishes, but they are not enough to build a world upon. Perhaps you would design a laid-out world, one with no uncertainty, totally mapped out, no wrong turns, one filled with flowers, an easy life, joy and never pain, health and never sickness, truth and never false, life only, never death. That is the world I designed, but you have not seen it so.

You would have designed a world without dirt so you would never have to clean, but what would food grow in? In what soil would only flowers grow? And the good weeds that do, what in your plan would replace them? Tell me, how far can limited thinking take you?

And so, I remind you that I am looking out for you every minute, and I know what I am doing.”

PONDER on THIS for Sunday, December 14th, 2008 by Al Diaz in BEing THE TITUS CONCEPT

“Right now, in this moment, you have the opportunity to consciously and deliberately create the Lifestyle you desire and require. While you are going through your current experience, state that it is for your best and highest good, and it shall BE. You get to choose what each experience is going to BE. You do this simply by deliberately and consciously bringing into play all of your emotions, feelings, thoughts, actions, attitudes, and beliefs right into that specific moment, just by pausing and saying, “This is for my best and highest good.” All it takes is a couple of seconds, and when it becomes automatic, you instantly think it. That thought is still long enough to have you pause to create your Life in that moment.

What if things are currently happening in your Life that you wish would go away? Proclaim them as being for your best and highest good, and if it pops up again, then say it again. Trust me – whatever is happening will melt away.”
