BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, March 11th, 2022 by Richard A. Singer in YOUR DAILY WALK WITH THE GREAT MINDS

Posted on March 10, 2022 by jmaz479

“If we stuff our pain and suffering deep down inside us, it will eventually catch up with us and be released sideways. It is important to express your feelings, emotions, and thoughts on a daily basis to remain clean inside your being. A daily cleansing is worth the benefits of true peace and tranquility. Empty the baggage of the past and stay baggage free from this point on. It is imperative to do a thorough cleaning and then conduct an inventory on a daily basis to free yourself from lugging a bunch of garbage around everywhere you go. If we continue to carry this debris, it will certainly seep out on present experiences. Clean now, so you can have freedom from the bondage of the past.”

Richard A. Singer, in “Your Daily Walk With the Great Minds”

“As you gain more control over your thoughts, try changing your vocabulary too. Speak more in the present tense about your life. You can certainly recall your past, but make it a habit to recall the good times. When someone asks you how you are, give them a positive answer; let that be your default setting. If you are genuinely coping with something that recently happened to you, go ahead and share that, but don’t dwell on it. If the incident reminds you of the “many other times this happened to me,” then recall those times IF AND ONLY IF you are finally prepared to try to understand and break the pattern within you that is somehow involved in their creation.”

“One of the most common questions about attaining self-realization is, must a seeker top all work projects, give up all goals, leave the family and kids, and donate everything to charity? The answer is “no,” but with one very important caveat: The desire for self-realization must be held as primary above all else, and you must begin to uncover the recognition that you are complete, without any of these roles, forms, and attributes. In addition, even the goal of achieving enlightenment eventually must be surrendered, to allow the perfection of the present moment to be appreciated, without need of anything more.”

“You are only as powerful as that for which you stand. Do you stand for more money in the bank and a bigger house? Do you stand for an attractive mate? Do you stand for imposing your way of thinking upon others? These are the stands of the personality seeking to satisfy its wants. Do you stand for perfection, for the beauty and compassion of each soul? Do you stand for the power of love and the clarity of wisdom? Do you stand for forgiveness and humbleness? There are the stands of the personality that has aligned itself with its soul. This is the position of a truly powerful personality.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, March 4th, 2022 by Megan Don in MEDITATIONS WITH TERESA OF AVILA

Posted on March 3, 2022 by jmaz479

“Whatever the cause of our anger or resentment, personal or universal, the reason and the result are the same. That is, we are disagreeing with the Beloved, and in doing so we are creating a wall of resistance that keeps the Beloved out. We may think that events should be happening in a different way, and we may have our own agenda about when they should happen. Teresa believed that the soul becomes extremely anguished when the Beloved’s timing differs from its own.

Even if what takes place is for the greater good of all, and divine guidance has assured the souls of this, we still may feel uncomfortable if what happens is not what we anticipated. The poor soul, said Teresa, how it grieves over this apparent delay. She came to see, however, that this grieving was unnecessary and gave up on her own plans, asking the Beloved to show her “where, how, and when.” That is, she surrendered to where she was supposed to be, how it was to occur, and when it would happen. She opened her soul to receive all that the Beloved wanted to give her, and so she experienced an exquisite taste of divine grace working through her and for her, at every moment that she was ready to receive.”

Posted on March 2, 2022 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 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.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, March 2, 2022 by William L. Murtha in DYING FOR A CHANGE

Posted on March 1, 2022 by jmaz479

“We are socially conditioned to believe that only doctors and medication can heal us. We are brought up with the false understanding that only pharmaceutical companies and modern medicine can “fix” us. It never even enters our heads to question that something more profound is possibly going on here. We never think to look into what the power of the mind can do for our physical condition. Heck, the majority don’t even use their minds, let alone tap into their infinite potential.

Scientists who study the positive and yet bizarre effects of placebos know that something extraordinary is going on. They know, without question, that the majority of the healing taking place is actually due to the patient’s own belief in the doctor’s prescription when a placebo is administered. These scientists know that it is the patient’s own self-healing that is curing his or her illness. After all, how else could somebody become completely cured by a placebo that is really nothing more than a harmless sugar tablet?”

“When we believe that it takes a long time to get a new career, a different house, or a better
relationship, it does take a long time. But when we believe it’s possible for changes to instantly occur, then they do! The bottom line is this: Whatever you believe about time – that you have plenty, or that you don’t have enough – you are correct! There are no limits to the changes you can make in your life, and there are no time shortages except those that are self-imposed.”

“You only lose energy when life becomes dull in your mind. Your mind gets bored and therefore tired of doing nothing. You don’t have to be tired. Get interested in something. Get absolutely enthralled in something. Throw yourself into it with abandon. Get out of yourself. Be somebody. Do something. Don’t sit around moaning about things, reading the papers, and saying, “Why don’t they do something?” The person who is out doing something isn’t tired. If you’re not getting into good causes, no wonder you’re tired. You’re disintegrating. You’re deteriorating. You’re dying on the vine. The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have. You won’t have time to think about yourself and get bogged down in your emotional difficulties.”

“You are here to enjoy life. You are not here to suffer over your drama or your personal importance. It’s not you, it doesn’t belong to your presence. You are here to be a dreamer, to be an artist, to be a seer. But you cannot be a seer when you only have eyes to see your own story, your own wounds, your own victimization. When you are still focusing on what your mother did to you twenty years ago, or forty years ago, or what your father did, or what your partner did, or what any of the other secondary characters in your story did to you, then you are not seeing the truth. If you are focusing on all that drama, then talking to you is like talking to a wall. Does this ring any bells someplace?”

“Our lives change externally when we change internally. One follows the other naturally, and try as we will, we cannot stop this dynamic. As is often the case, we will try desperately to take with us those people about whom we care the most, or to hold steady the external components of our lives, even as our internal fires rage and threaten to consume us. Sometimes we succeed; often we do not. Our choice to proceed on the journey must be made in faith and cannot be dependent on who chooses to come along with
us.

As psychologist and theologian Sam Keen is fond of saying, two of the most important questions for your life are: “Where am I going?” and “Who will go with me?” And it is very important to ask them of yourself in that order.”

“We’ve all heard the proverb, “You reap what you sow,” but most of us apply this concept only to negative situations. For example, we might say, “He wasted his life on gambling and alcohol, and now he’s reaping what he sowed.” But this proverb has a much broader application. It’s far more than a warning about extreme or terrible consequences. Rather, it’s a key to unlocking everything you could ever want.

The way this principle works is actually easy to understand: Life reflects what you hold at the deepest levels of your consciousness. This sounds simple, and maybe even obvious, but most people never really think about it, and few live their lives as if it were really true. And yet, the very nature of life is that you get what you ask for!”

“Being the president of a corporation has absolutely nothing to do with being awake, or being happy, or being a success in life. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Having a lot of money has nothing to do with being a success in life. You’re a success in life when you wake up, when you don’t have to apologize to anyone; when you don’t have to explain anything to anyone. You don’t feel the need, to explain anything to anyone. You don’t give a damn what anybody thinks of you, or what anyone says about you. You have no worries, you’re happy. That’s what I call being a success.”

Posted on February 20, 2022 by jmaz479

“Meher Baba described the relationship between God and humanity this way: “It is for the sake of Love that the universe sprang into existence, and for the sake of Love that it is kept going.” God decided to play a game with Himself for “His conscious enjoyment of his own Divinity.” He divided Himself into countless millions of pieces. Each piece, such as yourself, has the ego-based illusion that it is a separate individual, whereas actually you are a chip off the old block.

Because we’re unaware of this connection, we live our lives as though we’re separate from God and from one another. The game God chose to play requires us to discover through the unfolding of love that we are one with God. It is the task of each piece (you, me) to gradually awaken to the experience – not merely the belief – that we are all a part of God.”
