BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, October 15th, 2021 by Deepak Chopra in THE WAY OF THE WIZARD

Posted on October 14, 2021 by jmaz479

“Struggle, worry, planning and controlling runs against the grain of life. Life compresses chaos and orderliness together. You cannot have one without the other. If you want to be in the flow of life, you can’t struggle against it at the same time. Therefore, the quester after perfection accepts that he is always going to be uncertain, that she is always going to feel off balance.

Despite the fact that your ego hates unpredictability, the truth is that you have benefited from it again and again. Think for a moment about the unexpected opportunities that have come your way, offers of help you never anticipated, sudden brainstorms and inspirations, impulsive decisions to move or talk to a stranger that opened new horizons. This is the natural way to live.”

Deepak Chopra, in “The Way of the Wizard”

“Often what we think of as the things “wrong” with us are only expressions of our own individuality. This is our uniqueness and what is special about us. Nature never repeats itself. Since time began on this planet, there have never been two snowflakes alike not two raindrops the same. And every daisy is different from every other daisy. Our fingerprints are different, and we are different. We are meant to be different. When we can accept this, then there is no competition and no comparison.To try to be like another is to shrivel our soul. We have come to this planet to express who WE ARE.”

Posted on October 11, 2021 by jmaz479

“Let’s look at suppression of emotions for a moment. Suppression can keep us dishonest in our relationships with ourselves and with others…Suppression of feelings also requires a huge amount of energy, since you are holding down whatever is not being expressed. In addition, this means that you cannot receive the “Light” or the joy that would otherwise be available to you. When you think of someone with a “stiff upper lip,” you don’t see a person who is vibrant and fun-loving, spreading joy in their wake. This constant suppression creates energy blockages that cause “disease,” very much like a physical toxin!

Expressions like, “It is eating me up” and “It makes me sick” reflect back this reality. How can the self-regulating or self-corrective principle come into play when we are holding ourselves in so tightly that nothing can move or flow? Eventually, the Energetic Matrix gives up and says, “Ok, this is what you want? This is what I will do. I will not move, change, or heal myself. I will surrender to what you want: this stasis of imbalance. I will put all of my energy into keeping the status quo of suppression.”

These rigid places have to be free for our total Being (our Energetic Matrix) to be able to breathe, expand, and evolve!”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, October 11th, 2021 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOU’LL SEE IT WHEN YOU BELIEVE IT

Posted on October 10, 2021 by jmaz479

“Our need to forgive is a monumental misperception. The belief that others should not have treated us the way that they did is, of course, the ultimate absurdity. The universe is always working, and so is everything in it, even the things that we have judged to be wrong, improper, cruel, and painful for us and others.

Follow this logic. Someone has harmed you in some way in your past. You feel hurt and angry, and that anger ultimately turns to hatred. This is your hatred. You carry it around with you wherever you go. It is you and you are it. The hatred is all thought and is with you wherever you go. You have given someone permission not only to hurt you once, but to continue controlling your inner life. The hatred infects your life while the other person is still on his/her path doing exactly what he or she knows how to do, independent of your current miserable state.

As long as we blame others for the way we feel today, we will have to wait for them to change before we can grow out of our current immobilized state.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, October 8th, 2021 by Marianne Williamson in THE GIFT OF CHANGE

Posted on October 7, 2021 by jmaz479

“Underneath the layer of our normal thinking lies a level of consciousness that is pure love and peace. Yet we cannot reach that consciousness simply by deciding to; we have to dig deep into the ground of our inner being, creating a space of listening for the “small still voice for God.” The more things are happening on the outside, the more important it is to find that stillness on the inside.

Every mistake we ever made occurred because, in the moment we made it, we were not in conscious contact with our highest self. We were not centered in our spirit. That is why making that contact, and spending time each day fostering it, is the single most powerful thing we can do.”

Posted on October 6, 2021 by jmaz479

“I once saw a cartoon drawing of a dog hitched to a small, but well laden cart. The dog’s owner had found an ingenious method for getting it to pull the cart for him. A long pole, tied to the cart, extended forward over the dog’s head. At the end of the pole there dangled a sausage, temptingly. The dog, straining in vain to reach that sausage, hardly noticed the heavy cart he was dragging along behind him.

How many business people are like that! They keep thinking, “If I can make just a little more money, I’ll find happiness at last.” Somehow, their “sausage of happiness” keeps receding from their grasp. As they strain to reach it, however, just see what a cart-load of troubles and worries they drag along behind them!”

This healing power will respond to you regardless of your race, creed, or color. It does not care whether you belong to any church or whether you have any religious affiliations or not. You have had hundreds of healings since you were a child.

Posted on October 4, 2021 by jmaz479

“Imagine a powerful river winding through hundreds, or even thousands of miles of countryside. It crosses varying terrains of forest, desert, and prairie, until reaching the sea. At its source, perhaps at the might rainforests of the Amazon, several small twigs drop from a branch, floating to the middle of the river. The twigs, although embraced by the mighty foaming water, become part of the river, as they are carried along…Imagine how absurd it would be if one of the twigs struggled to get out of the water and decided that it wanted to change the course of the river.

So, instead of floating downstream from the forest to the desert, it wanted the river’s course to flow back to the rainforest. If the twig were to fly into a furious fit and yell at the river for its indifference, it would be demonstrating normal human behavior when responding to the present moment. In its anger and resistance, it pushes at the river’s bank in a futile attempt to change its meandering course.

It is insanity of the highest order to become angry or resistant to something that already is.

When a person has a negative emotional reaction to an event or circumstance that has already happened, he can be said to be “pushing the river.”

“The idea that God is angry and must be pacified by means of blood sacrifice and violence against others came from the teachings of Zoroaster, an ancient prophet and religious poet from Babylon. His teachings about an angry, vengeful, and cruel God found their way into Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, polluting the pure message about divine love and our holy nature. This cruel concept of God, and the idea that violence is God’s plan for humanity, has drive, and is still driving, people to commit atrocities against others and justify genocide for the sake of money, power, sex, sensual pleasures, and domination.

Any religion that teaches hatred of others, that says some are chosen and others are not, that says one body type is superior to another, or says that people must war against and destroy anyone who is not of their faith is false. It creates hell on earth instead of heaven.”

“If you don’t get what you want you suffer; if you get what you don’t want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can’t hold onto it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change, free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality. Life is not suffering; it’s just you that will suffer it, rather than enjoy it, until you let go of your mind’s attachments and just go for the ride freely, no matter what happens.”

“You are not alone, and you are not what you think you are. We are all part of one being, just as mystics have always asserted. Our lives here on earth are the invaluable and irreplaceable prelude to our eternal lives, just as religions have always maintained. Life on the other side of the veil that separates the physical and nonphysical – regardless of how difficult we find it to envision – is closely connected to this physical life, and depends on our choices, just as fairy-tales, for instance, have always said.

The world is a struggle between opposing values, a localize battlefield, so to speak, in a far vaster conflict, again, just as religions have always maintained. However, although this is true, it is equally true, as Carl Jung pointed out, that good cannot exist without evil, that any polarity must include opposites, and that therefore for us to be whole we must recognize our own shadow sides.”

“When you act without regard for others, you do not honor yourself. Every time you attack, you have something to defend. You are always looking over your shoulder to see who or what might be sneaking up on you. This is not a particularly satisfying or dignified way to live. Your fearful thoughts and actions call forth the fearful thoughts and actions of others.

These fear-based interactions become institutionalized in your “eye for an eye” system of justice, which perpetuates the cycle of abuse. By making the perpetrator into a victim, you hope to discourage him from brutalizing others in the future. You don’t understand that all of his rage comes from his perception of himself as a victim and it is that which you are reinforcing by punishing him. If you want to change the criminal, you must stop punishing him and begin to love him. Nothing else will work.”
