BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, April 22nd, 2022 by Jonathan Parker in THE SOUL SOLUTION

Posted on April 21, 2022 by jmaz479

“The truth is the past is nothing more than a memory, and it has no real existence other than what we project on it. We benefit greatly when we no longer treat the past as a determiner of our present our future. This doesn’t mean forgetting your past – the past provides wisdom that can help prevent needless pain and suffering – but it does mean letting go of the painful aspects and struggles of the past. You can begin this process of release by tuning into any uncomfortable feelings the past is creating in the present and stating an affirmation, such as, “I release and let go of the painful feelings I am feeling about my past.”

Jonathan Parker, in “The Soul Solution”

“This is the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you. Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation lies:

I AM responsible for what I see.
I choose the feelings I experience,
and I decide upon the goal I would achieve.
And everything that seems to happen to me
I ask for, and receive as I have asked.”

Deceive yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done to you. Acknowledge but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes will disappear.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, April 20th, 2022 in YOUR DAILY WALK WITH THE GREAT MINDS

Posted on April 19, 2022 by jmaz479

“Figure out who you really want to be, what you really want to do with your life, and what you truly desire and begin to act “as if” these qualities already exist in your life. Act your way into your desired life. The results will certainly amaze you. If you want to run the company you’re working for, dress the part, act the part, and visualize the part. It may sound rather odd to you but many men and women who have achieved enormous success have productively applied this strategy. Try it, if it does not work toss it out. Remember, action is what we are judged by, and from thoughts and beliefs come action. Think, believe, then act according to what and who you aspire to become.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, April 19th, 2022 by Sanaya Roman in SPIRITUAL GROWTH: BEING YOUR HIGHER SELF

Posted on April 18, 2022 by jmaz479

“One way you can tell the difference between the messages from your Higher Self and the messages from your intellect is to note if there is any fearful thought behind the message. Messages from your intellect are often based on thoughts of scarcity, guilt, or a need to protect yourself from some imagined threat. If you are asking for guidance and want answers, do not pay attention to answers you receive that are based on fear, for they are not from your Higher Self.

Higher Self guidance is often subtle and quiet, and is frequently the message that follows the first one you hear. Your intellect may quickly jump in with answers, so when you are reflecting on what action to take, the first or loudest answer you receive may not come from your Higher Self. To receive messages from your Higher Self, get silent, and wait until you sense an answer that is reassuring and loving.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, April 18th, 2022 by John St. Augustine in LIVING AN UNCOMMON LIFE

Posted on April 17, 2022 by jmaz479

“Every life has a rhythm to it. The important thing to remember is that creating an interchange between the coming and going, the rising and falling, the peaks and valleys, is what balance is all about. Your life may appear to be out of balance when in fact it could that the rhythm of life is changing, and you are right where you are supposed to be. You are learning what you are supposed to learn, and the scales of balance are simply adjusting themselves in your favor.

Every event in your life, every situation and challenge, serves a purpose – not to knock you off balance, but rather to help you learn how to improve it. And remember that when you do fall down – and all of us do – make sure that you have stopped your descent before you attempt your ascent. How do you know when you are ready to get back up? That’s easy: you are no longer focused on the going down, but on the getting up.”

“Keep in mind that what you are looking at, you are not really “seeing.” Your brain is not the source of your intelligence. It is simply a data processor. It takes in data through receptors called your senses. It interprets this energy in formation according to its previous data on the subject. It tells you what it perceives, not what really is. Based on these perceptions, you think you know the truth about something, when, actually, you do not know the half of it. In reality, you are creating the truth that YOU know.”

Posted on April 13, 2022 by jmaz479

“We each have an infinite supply of love and happiness within us. We have been accustomed to thinking that we have to get something from outside us in order to be happy, but in truth it works the other way: we must learn to contact our inner source of happiness and satisfaction and flow it outward to share with others – not because it is virtuous to do so, but because it feels really good! Once we tune into it we just naturally want to share it because that is the essential nature of love, and we are all loving beings.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, April 13th, 2022 by Terry Cole-Whittaker in LIVE YOUR BLISS

Posted on April 12, 2022 by jmaz479

“All our dreams, goals, and activities have a place in the basket of our grand purpose. Challenges, failures, successes, blessings, and difficulties – all contribute to our attaining this higher purpose, because we take whatever lessons come to us and apply them, instead of allowing them to discourage or defeat us. With a grand purpose, we welcome each valuable lesson as a missing piece we needed in order to succeed at the next step.

Even a mistake of the sort that previously could have destroyed us is no longer a failure but a blessing. A grand purpose worthy of us eliminates obstacles, such as the glass ceiling that may have artificially kept us down, and it exponentially expands our possibilities for expressing the genius in the form of potential that lies within us.”

“Purity is staying inside your energy, conserving it and guarding it. You’re not going to trash your energy by suddenly eating a whole bunch of junk, by going out for a week or two drinking yourself stupid, or by getting so stoned you can’t operate. You’re not going to take your energy into places where it will be trashed. You’re not going to trash your energy by fighting with people. If a confrontation looks like it’s developing, start to walk away. There isn’t a fight worth having.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, April 11th, 2022 by Paul Ferrini in THE SILENCE OF THE HEART

Posted on April 10, 2022 by jmaz479

“Most of you are in some kind of denial. That is probably because you have hardly touched your pain. It is too scary to do so. You would rather pretend to be spiritual than admit that you are having a really rough time. You don’t want people to see your dirty laundry: your judgments, your yearnings…It is far easier for you to let people see the pasteboard mask than the contorted face behind it. You are proud of the spiritual adult, but you are still ashamed of the wounded child. The worst thing about denial is that it creates a culture of pretense and shame.”

“Get pressure ideas out of your system, and then you can find, like a ball on a roulette wheel, where you are going to land. The roulette ball doesn’t say, “Well, people will think better of me over here than over there.” Take what comes and be where you like. What counts is being where you feel you’re in YOUR place. What people think of you is THEIR problem.”

Posted on April 6, 2022 by jmaz479

“All humans are spirits only visiting this world. All spirits are forever beings. All encounters with other people are experiences, and all experiences are forever connections. If you walk away with bad feelings in your heart for another person and that circle is not closed, it will repeated later in your life. You will not suffer once but over and over until you learn. It is good to observe, to learn, and become wiser from what has happened. It is good to give thanks, as you say, to bless it, and walk away in peace.”

Posted on April 5, 2022 by jmaz479

“Wallace Wattles shares a wonderful tip about eating in one of his books. He recommends that when you eat, make sure you are entirely focused on the experience of chewing the food. Keep your mind present and experience the sensation of eating food, and do not allow your mind to drift to other things. Be present in your body and enjoy all the sensations of chewing the food in your mouth and swallowing it.

Try it the next time you are eating. When you are completely present as you eat, the flavor of the food is so intense and magnificent; when you let your mind drift, the flavor virtually disappears. I am convinced that if we can eat our food in the present, entirely focused on the pleasurable experience of eating, the food is assimilated into our bodies perfectly, and the result in our bodies must be perfection.”

Posted on April 3, 2022 by jmaz479

“You cannot know yourself in the absence of all other human beings. You cannot find out who you are if you do not first discover who you are not. All relationships demonstrate this by acting as your mirrors. All people coming into your life help bring you reflections. They enable you to discover those parts of self that are obscured. This process ultimately reveals the essence of your own soul. You are on a voyage of self-discovery on the choppy ocean of life. And each relationship you magnetize to you is another port of call.

Only by observing the behaviors and emotions of others around you can you then contextualize your own behaviors and emotions. Only by witnessing what you are not can you then decipher that which you are.”
