BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, February 23rd, 2024 by Dr. Irina Koles in TASTE OF THOUGHTS

Posted on February 22, 2024 by jmaz479

“It’s true that changes take time and nothing happens overnight. It requires lots of energy, efforts and coordinated actions on a regular basis. Sometimes, a new idea sounds so odd that you can’t even consider taking it seriously. However, when you analyze the past and relearn, you may find a new way extremely effective and beneficial indeed. Therefore, having a  flexible and open mindset towards unlearning and relearning is important. When you keep following your main purpose, your passion will make the process easier and you’ll enjoy it. The desire to be healthy will feed your goal of achieving the ideal weight.

Your healthy and energetic body will support your renewed self-esteem, and you’ll discover that you have become more confident and attractive. When you’re passionate about your desire, you will find that it will bring you amazing results in every area of your life: professional development, finances, family and relationships, and your emotional and spiritual life. Consider your current beliefs about yourself, your health, your body and your eating habits. Unlearn first, and then replace old beliefs with those that will take you closer to your goal!”

Dr. Irina Koles, in “Taste of Thoughts”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, February 22nd, 2024 by Sanaya Roman in PERSONAL POWER THROUGH AWARENESS

Posted on February 21, 2024 by jmaz479

“Every person and event offers you an opportunity to clean up your energy, evolve yourself, and move higher. The greatest reward is that once an issue is cleared up you will never have to deal with it again. You cannot be hurt by another person unless you are hurting yourself. You cannot be betrayed, undervalued or unloved unless you are doing it to yourself by not valuing and loving yourself.

When you heal yourself, everything around you that represented your inner struggle dissolves. You can heal yourself by speaking the truth from a deep level of compassion.”

“Whenever people cross our paths, there is always a message for us. Chance encounters do not exist. But how we respond to these encounters determines whether we’re able to receive the message. If we have a conversation with someone who crosses our path and we do not see a message pertaining to our current questions, it does not mean there was no message. It only means we missed it for some reason.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, February 20th, 2024 by Neale Donald Walsch in MOMENTS OF GRACE

Posted on February 19, 2024 by jmaz479

“Many human beings will give every name they can think of to God’s miracles except “God’s miracle,” because they either don’t believe in God, or don’t believe in miracles – or don’t believe that miracles can happen to THEM. And if you don’t believe something, you will not see it for what it really is. Because believing is seeing. It is not the other way around.

It is for just this reason that you may not see yourself as Who You Really Are. You do not even know your Self to be a miracle. Yet that is what you are. A miracle in the making. For you are not nearly finished with yourself yet, and God is never finished with you.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, February 19th, 2024 by Cherie Carter-Scott in IF LIFE IS A GAME, THESE ARE THE RULES

Posted on February 18, 2024 by jmaz479

“Surrender is the transcendence of ego and the release of control. When you surrender to your lessons that arise, you allow yourself to flow with the rhythm of life, rather than struggling against it. The peaks and valleys that mark your personal path become easier to traverse when you surrender to them.

The key to coming to peace with your role as a perpetual student lies in surrendering to what is, rather than trying to create what you envision should be. If resistance has been a theme throughout your life, then surrender will appear in your curriculum. If you are one of those people who always have to do things his way or who possess a strong, willful ego, then surrender will seem like defeat to you. But surrender only signifies defeat in war. In life it signifies transcendence.

This is not to say that you should remain passive and just let life happen to you. Rather, you need to learn to surrender to those circumstances over which you never really had any control anyway.”

Posted on February 15, 2024 by jmaz479

“Refusing to let go of past events, whether positive or negative, means throwing away some part of your daily energy budget. If you start losing energy and don’t do anything about it, you will inevitably develop a weakness in your physical body. The problem may begin simply enough, when you begin to feel “off” or notice that your energy level is low. If you don’t pay attention, that may lead to developing a viral infection, flu, headache, migraine, or nausea. If you continue to lose energy without taking action, those minor upsets can develop into major illnesses.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, February 15th, 2024 by William L. Murtha in DYING FOR A CHANGE

Posted on February 14, 2024 by jmaz479

“Will Murtha: Shouldn’t we just concentrate on creating more positive emotions in our lives, rather than listening to the bad emotions? Wouldn’t it be better if we adopted more positive thinking and therefore shut out the negativity?

Voice of Higher Presence: First, no amount of positive thinking in the world will change anything if practical action is not brought into the picture. You could pray for peace every day of your existence, but until your life becomes a visual demonstration of that peace within you, then nothing will ever alter in your world. Second, do not imagine that positive thinking alone can resolve the suffering felt by your soul. To believe that you can suffocate your emotional pain under a thin gloss of positive thoughts will still not make your soul’s pain vanish. This practice simply mutes your internal pain. It suspends it, but definitely does not eradicate it. All positive thinking does is block off your emotional pain until you are ready to pick up your trauma once again and deal with it.

Emotional hunger is really a disguise for the hunger of the soul that wishes to express itself in a physical form. Your emotions are your truth, and in every moment of your life, they want to be heard.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, February 14th, 2024 by Stuart Wilde in INFINITE SELF

Posted on February 13, 2024 by jmaz479

“What people yearn for makes them weak. When you fall in love and yearn for another person, the very fact that you are desperate for him or her weakens you. It often means you can’t have this person. Your stifling need makes the other person uncomfortable, and they back away. When you yearn for a particular goal in life –leaning toward it emotionally, pushing for it – you affirm that you don’t have it. Thus, you push the very think you want way from yourself.

So, control that yearning. Say, “Hey, I’d like to have a new car, but I can’t afford it at this time. I feel abundant; I feel the car is becoming a part of my life. I’ll get it later, or perhaps something even better will come along.” Then work in a concerted way toward materializing your goal. Don’t yearn and don’t moan. Take a moment each day before you go to sleep or before you rise in the morning to give thanks for what you DO have.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, February 13th, 2024 by Wayne W. Dyer in MANIFEST YOUR DESTINY

Posted on February 12, 2024 by jmaz479

“Thought is creative action. It is neither good nor bad. However, the thoughts that you dwell on determine what you will possess or not possess. What you think about is what you will become.

Be conscious of any thought or picture that will end up manifesting something that you do not want. If your conditioned way of thinking is in terms of pessimism, or impossibilities, or using your past misfortunes as reasons for not having a happier, more abundant life, decide to eradicate those thoughts. If you find yourself complaining to others remind yourself that your complaints are a manifestation of your inner thoughts.

As difficult as it is to fathom, because of ego-based conditioning, you are indeed one of the ways in which God has particularized in this material world.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, February 12th, 2024 by Nicolya Christi in 2012 A CLARION CALL

Posted on February 11, 2024 by jmaz479

“A beautifully simple technique to help you to work on forgiveness is a modern version of an ancient Hawaiian Huna healing method known as Ho’oponopono. In this practice, four short sentences are repeated with feeling: “I am sorry. Forgive me. I love you. Thank you.” This can be done with specific individuals in mind. Or the phrases can be said without focusing on anyone in particular. This enables the healing of deep unconscious soul wounds that may go back lifetimes.

By elevating your consciousness, and being conscious in thoughts, words, and deeds, you will serve the higher good. It does not matter who you have hurt or how you have been hurt. This is a time or redemption. You have an extraordinary opportunity to be free of pain and suffering. Ultimately, the single most important requirement is your willingness to act with lover toward, yourself, everyone, and everything. The laws of the universe ensure that your soul will be rewarded in equal measure to your contribution and your ability to remain heart-centered, loving, and kind toward yourself and others. The energy of forgiveness, together with you willingness to raise your consciousness, will bring many unexpected and beautiful gifts into your life.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, February 9th, 2024 by Danielle Rama Hoffman in THE COUNCIL OF LIGHT

Posted on February 8, 2024 by jmaz479

“You may have a habit of putting most of your attention on what you can think about and what you can see. Yet our hope for you is that you begin to put more attention on your essence, on your eternal nature, and on your multi-dimensional self. As your body, mind, emotions, and spirit come into resonance your eternal nature, your divine nature, your essence is able to communicate with you more fully.

There is also the thought that your external environment is what is dictating your feeling of happiness in life. If there is something in your life that is not to your liking then you feel negative, unhappy, or discontent. If there is something that is to your liking you feel happy and at peace. From our perspective this is one of the main reasons why people feel unhappy. It is a no win situation to allow your inner state and your inner feelings to be dictated by your external environment. The amount of time that you are perfectly the right temperature, have the perfect amount of rest, the perfect amount of nourishment, and all of your conditions are perfect is a small window. Your environment is always changing. If you shift your focus from allowing your external environment to elicit a state of joy or a feeling of joy and you consciously decide to be joyous regardless of any situation then you will have a joyful life. If you choose joy moment to moment then you will have a life of joy.”

“Picture the ocean. See the birds? See the sailboats? Awesome! This picture in your mind—of all those beautiful things above the water—represents everything that’s concrete in the world. It’s what you can see, touch, taste, hear, or smell.

Now let your mind travel under the water. See the fish and the seaweed? See the ocean floor? Very cool. This picture in your mind—of all the amazing things under the water—represents everything that you can’t see, touch, taste, hear, or smell in the world. It’s the world of thoughts. Imagine yourself having a thought that becomes a solid block. The block shoots out of your head and lands in the water. It sinks to the bottom and comes to rest on the ocean floor. Now every time you have a thought like that one, a new block shoots out of your head and lands on top of the first one. Eventually, you have so many similar thoughts that the stack of blocks gets tall enough to break the surface of the ocean! Everything you’ve been thinking about has become real!”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, February 7th, 2024 by Deepak Chopra in THE SEVEN SPIRITUAL LAWS OF SUCCESS

Posted on February 6, 2024 by jmaz479

“What does responsibility mean? Responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for your situation, including yourself. Having accepted this circumstance, this event, this problem, responsibility then means the ABILITY to have a creative RESPONSE to the situation AS IT IS NOW. All problems contain the seeds of opportunity, and this awareness allows you to take the moment and transform it to a better situation or thing.

Once you do this, every so-called upsetting situation will become an opportunity for the creation of something new and beautiful, and every so-called tormentor or tyrant will become your teacher. Reality is an interpretation. And if you choose to interpret reality in this way, you will have many teachers around you, and many opportunities to evolve.

Whenever confronted by a tyrant, tormentor, teacher, friend, or foe (they all mean the same thing) remind yourself, “This moment is as it should be.” Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.”

Posted on February 5, 2024 by jmaz479

“Going with the flow means holding onto your goals lightly (even though they may seem very important) and being willing to change them if something more appropriate and satisfying comes along. It is that balance between keeping your destination clearly in mind, and yet also enjoying all the beautiful scenes you encounter along the way, and even being willing to change your destination if life starts taking you in a different direction. In short, it means being firm, yet flexible.

If you have a lot of heavy emotions riding on whether you attain your goals (that is, if you will be upset if you don’t get it) you will tend to work against yourself. In your fear of NOT getting what you want, you may actually be energizing the idea of not getting it as much or more as you energizing the goal itself.”

Posted on February 4, 2024 by jmaz479

“Life plays no favorites. God is Life and this Life-Principle is flowing through you this moment. God loves to express Himself as harmony, peace, beauty, joy, and abundance through you. This is called the will of God or the tendency of Life. If you set up resistance in your mind to the flow of Life through you, this emotional congestion will get snarled up in you subconscious mind and cause all kinds of negative conditions. God has nothing to do with unhappy or chaotic conditions in the world. All these conditions are brought about by man’s negative and destructive thinking. Therefore, it is silly to blame God for your trouble or sickness.”
