PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, October 10th, 2007 by Karol K. Truman in HEALING FEELINGS FROM YOUR HEART

Posted on October 9, 2007 by jmaz479

“Let us say that everything that occurs in our lives happens for a reason. Let us also suppose that everyone understands and accepts this premise as true. How would it be if each person started asking, Why am I having this experience? What am I learning from this experience? What is it mirroring to me about myself? Imagine if each person looked inward instead of outward for the cause of the undesirable things happening in their life!

You have undoubtedly heard it said that you create your own reality. Have you ever wondered just what this means? To understand this concept, we must recognize that everything is created spiritually before it is created physically…Everything is created through subtle energies—energies on the molecular level.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, October 9th, 2007 by Dan Millman in LIVING ON PURPOSE

Posted on October 8, 2007 by jmaz479

“Whether or not you recall the names of the two wealthiest people in the world—or the last few winners of the Heisman Trophy, Academy Awards, or Nobel Prizes—I’ll bet you can remember the names of two favorite teachers, or friends who stood by you, or a half dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you. We remember the ones who cared. And we can become one of those people who are held in others’ hearts and memories long after we have passed from this earth. It is what we are here to do; next to simple acts of kindness, all our personal achievements pale.

Acts of kindness close the circle of life and connect us to others. What we do for ourselves dies with us, but what we do for others echoes throughout the ages. We can see and enjoy every sight around the world, experience every luxury or sensual pleasure. But when we look back on our lives and review our memories, none of it will match the delight of bringing a smile to someone’s face, or performing an act of courage or kindness that takes us beyond our separation. Therein lies a meaningful and purposeful life.”

Dan Millman, in “Living on Purpose”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, October 8th, 2007 by Eckhart Tolle in THE POWER OF NOW

Posted on October 7, 2007 by jmaz479

“In life threatening emergency situations, the shift in consciousness from time to presence sometimes happens naturally. The personality that has a past and future momentarily recedes and is replaced by an intense conscious presence, very still but very alert at the same time. Whatever response is needed then arises out of that state of consciousness.

The reason why some people love to engage in dangerous activities, such as mountain climbing, car racing, and so on, although they may not be aware of it, is that it forces them into the Now—that intently alive state that is free of time, free of problems, free of thinking, free of the burden of the personality. Slipping away from the present moment even for a second may mean death. Unfortunately, they come to depend upon a particular activity to be in that state. But you don’t need to climb the north face of the Eiger. You can enter that state now.”

Eckhart Tolle, in “The Power of Now”

PONDER on THIS for Friday, October 5th, 2007 by Joseph Murphy in THE AMAZING LAWS OF COSMIC MIND POWER

Posted on October 4, 2007 by jmaz479

“For countless centuries, man has looked outside himself and filled his mind with jealousies, hates, fears, resentment, and depression, due to his belief that others were marring his happiness and causing his troubles. He has believed that he is the victim of fate, chance, and accidents, and that there are other powers and forces inimical to his welfare. His mind is full of all sorts of weird ideas, superstitions, anxieties, and complicated philosophies about devils, evil entities, and malevolent forces.

The truth is that man’s thought is creative; his habitual thinking becomes his abundance or his poverty. Man must divest himself of all his erroneous and false concepts and realize that he makes his own heaven (harmony and peace) and his own suffering (misery and suffering) here and now.”

“People are attached to the “known” because, as a rule, none of us really like change. We all tend to prefer the status quo because it’s predictable, and therefore theoretically safe. This is the case even if we are not content with our present situation, for in a very real sense it is preferable to have the certainty even at the price of unhappiness.

There is however, a big problem that arises from attachment to the “known”: it may well prevent us from experiencing all sorts of wonderful and positive things out there in the “unknown”. As Joseph Campbell was heard to say, “nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be.”

PONDER on THIS for Wednesday,October 3rd, 2007 by Marianne Williamson in THE GIFT OF CHANGE

Posted on October 2, 2007 by jmaz479

“If you have a problem but you are stuck in blaming others or trying to duck out of your own responsibility, then helpful forces are repelled. If you have a problem but you try to keep your heart open—you do your best to deal with it, take personal responsibility, remain vulnerable—then others will have a natural tendency to reach out to you and offer help. Just knowing you have a problem will not inspire others to help you; how you’re handling it is what will do that.

Highest solutions do not come from you; they come INTO you and THROUGH YOU. It is not your ability to figure things out, put the blame elsewhere, or hire the right lawyers that ultimately guarantee divine right action. Rather, it is our surrender to the flow of divinity that allow divinity to flow through us.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 by Neale Donald Walsch in CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD, BOOK 1

Posted on October 1, 2007 by jmaz479

“So, do you want your life to “take off”? Begin at once to imagine it the way you want it to be—and move into that. Check every thought, word, and action that does not fall into harmony with that. Move away from those.

When you have a thought that is not in alignment with your higher vision, change to a new thought, then and there. When you say a thing that is out of alignment with your grandest idea, make a note not to say something like that again. When you do a thing that is misaligned with your best intention, decide to make that the last time. And make it right with whomever was involved if you can.”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, October 1st, 2007 by Don Miguel Ruiz in THE VOICE OF KNOWLEDGE

Posted on September 30, 2007 by jmaz479

“If you believe the common lie “I’m not worthy,” that lie lives in your mind because you believe it. You don’t believe people who tell you how great you are, and you don’t believe them because you believe the opposite. Your faith is already invested in a belief that is not the truth; it’s a lie, but your faith guides your actions.

By not feeling worthy, how do you express yourself with other people? You are shy. How can you ask for something when you do not believe you are worth it? What you believe about yourself is what you project to other people, and that is what others then believe about you. Of course, that is how they treat you, which only reinforces the belief that you aren’t worth it. And what is the truth? The truth is that you are worth it; everybody is worth it.”

PONDER on THIS for Friday, September 28th, 2007 by Paul Ferrini in THE SILENCE OF THE HEART

Posted on September 27, 2007 by jmaz479

“Your ego’s tendency is to keep things as they are, no matter how bad they may be. God says: “let go of the past to make room for something that honors you more deeply.” You are afraid to do that because there is no guarantee that the new will be any better than the old. You’d rather hold onto the old and invite the new in at the same time. That is the inevitable Catch 22. The new cannot come in until the old is released. When you are attached to the past, you cannot move toward the future. And your experience of the present is one of deadlock.

Letting go of the past is never easy. Yet it is the only act that brings the presence of God into your life. When you let go of what used to be and accept what is, the universe instantly moves to support you. The deeper your let-go is, the more resources rush to your side.”

Posted on September 26, 2007 by jmaz479

“Any career short of electric creativity means you have compromised. If all you are receiving for your work is money, you are being grossly underpaid. Most people do not experience livelihood; they are more familiar with deadlihood. So it’s time to move to a new ‘hood’. When you allow your passion to guide you to your right livelihood, you will be hard-pressed to call it “work.” While the Wright Brothers were developing the first airplane, one of them told a reporter, “We can’t wait to get up in the morning!”

People who have found their true calling report that they are having so much fun, they feel like they should be paying people to let them do it. Yet they are paid well for their services, and rightfully so. Their gifts go far beyond the obvious service they perform; they are teaching (by example) authentic self-expression, which cannot be translated into dollars.”

PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, September 26th, 2007 by Sanaya Roman in SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Posted on September 25, 2007 by jmaz479

“If your turbulent emotions are coming from upsets in your relationships, look closely—are you accepting other people for who they are? Or are you withholding your love until they become who you want them to be? You always win by supporting other people in being who they are rather than who you want them to be. Usually, when you release your attachment to wanting people to be a certain way, they become more cooperative and loving.

Your most intimate relationships involve your greatest expectations and present your greatest challenges to being calm and centered. If your loved ones are upsetting you, ask yourself, ‘Why am I reacting this way? What pattern within me are they triggering? Does this situation remind me of something hurtful from the past? What am I learning from this turmoil?”

“Most humans try to change things by focusing on behaviors. They keep thinking they can make things better by doing something. So, everyone is running around trying to figure out what they can do. The focus is on doing something, rather than on believing something.

But radical forces within your societies have always sought to change things by using the power of thought, not action, for they know that thought produces action. Get a person thinking a certain way and you can get a person to act a certain way. It is not easily done the other way around.”

PONDER on THIS for Monday, September 24th, 2007 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in REAL MAGIC

Posted on September 23, 2007 by jmaz479

“When you are on purpose, doing what you know you are here for, and forgetting about what will come into your life in the way of money and wealth, then money and wealth will arrive in your life in amounts sufficient to provide you with a life of prosperity. And this is real magic in action. I can say this because it has always worked for me. When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.

Prosperity is not the result of following a strict set of gimmicks and strategies, it is a mind-set, a mind-set that is centered on your ability to manifest miracles. Whatever you have believed to be impossible, shift it around to create an inner prosperity picture.”

“A final day awaits us all. We may know in advance when our end is near, through declining health, a terminal illness, old age. Or we may have only a few seconds’ notice, or none at all. When the executioner raises his scythe, how many of us may want to say, “Wait! Just another moment, please! Let me take one more sweet breath! Give me one more sight, sound, touch of my beloved! Wait, please! Just one more moment!”

Now is the time to see, listen, to touch—bring our best to life while we have the life for it. How much we have, no one can say. Life itself is a near-death experience.”

“Following your intuition requires a great deal of trust and faith. To develop that quality further you can go back and remember times when you believed in yourself, heard the whispers and acted upon them. Acting upon intuition requires flexibility and spontaneity. To develop those qualities you can remember times in which you were flexible, and let go of your plans, and things worked out even better than you expected. If you want to increase productivity, allow yourself to listen to your whispers and to act upon them. Allow yourself to play. Do those things you have been wanting to do. Be a child again. Create fun in your life and you will find that your creative energy will awaken and flow as never as before.”
