BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, June 11th, 2021 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOUR SACRED SELF

Posted on June 10, 2021 by jmaz479

“Just knowing that you can choose less toxic thoughts is an important insight. Many people have never had this insight. Consequently, they spend their entire lives defending the position that their thoughts are unchangeable. You, on your sacred path, know better. You know that who you are is something grander than the thoughts you think and more divine than the body where the thoughts occur.
Your thoughts and behaviors are habits.

The ways that you have allowed your inner world to work are habits resulting from your experience of your life, including the beliefs that you’ve received from all the well-meaning people who taught you about life. To purify your thinking and make your mind work exactly as you want it to, be willing to examine these habits of thought. Then you will begin the purifying process and see the opening to your sacred self.”

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, in “Your Sacred Self”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, June 10th, 2021 by Donald Altman in THE MINDFULNESS CODE

Posted on June 9, 2021 by jmaz479

“If you are being pulled down in to the quicksand of not having enough, of wanting more, of focusing on what is missing n your life, pause to consider what we are all given in any moment – the sunlight, which makes life possible; the air we breathe; and for most of us the food we enjoy, access to clean water to replenish our cells, a shelter that protects us from the elements, electricity that gives light and makes many forms of communication possible, educational resources to better our lives, the clothes that keep us warm, the beauty of nature to enrich our lives, and relationships that nourish us.

We take so many ordinary things for granted and tend to overlook how they make life more satisfying. Some people’s basic needs are not met, which is also a call not to take what we have for granted and not to waste resources without regard for the consequences. By recognizing what we are given, we practice celebrating the ordinary goodness of life and can become aware of ways in which we can contribute to the ordinary goodness of others.”

Donald Altman, in “The Mindfulness Code”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, June 9th, 2021 by Sanaya Roman in PERSONAL POWER THROUGH AWARENESS

Posted on June 8, 2021 by jmaz479

“All of you have pictures of what it would mean to love yourself more. For some of you it might mean a better job, or the resolution of a problem. If you want more self-love, the first challenge is to see if you can evolve your pictures of self-love. Everything you thought of as loving to yourself two years ago, you most probably have right now. Yet somehow when you got it you did not feel as loved as you expected. Look at what you want right now and ask, “What is the essence behind it?” If you want, for instance, a new place to live, what is the essence behind it? What do you really want? It may be peace and quiet, or more sunlight. You can get all those things in different ways, right now.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, June 8th, 2021 by Fr. Anthony De Mello in ANTHONY DE MELLO: WRITINGS

Posted on June 7, 2021 by jmaz479

“If you want to reform your heart, you must give serious, prolonged thought to four liberating truths. But first choose some attachment that troubles you, something that you are clinging to, or something that you dread, or something you are craving for, and keep this attachment in mind as you listen to these truths.

The first truth: You must choose between your attachment and happiness. You cannot have both. The moment you pick up an attachment, your heart is thrown out of kilter and your ability to lead a joyful, carefree, serene life is destroyed…

The second truth: Where did your attachment come from? You were not born with it. It sprang from a lie that your society and your culture have told you, or a lie that you have told yourself, namely, that without this or the other, without this person or the other you can’t be happy. Just open your eyes and see how false this is…

The third truth: If you wish to be fully alive you must develop a sense of perspective. Life is infinitely greater than this trifle your heart is attached to, and which you have given the power to so upset you. Trifle, yes, because if you live long enough a day will easily come when it will cease to matter…

And so the fourth truth brings you to the unavoidable conclusion that no thing or person outside of you has the power to make you happy or unhappy.”

Fr. Anthony De Mello in, “Anthony De Mello: Writings”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, June 7th, 2021 by Eckhart Tolle in A NEW EARTH

Posted on June 6, 2021 by jmaz479

“To become free of the ego is not really a big job but a very small one. All you need to do is be aware of your thoughts and emotions – as they happen. This is not really a “doing,” but an alert “seeing.” In that sense, it is true that there is nothing you can do to become free of the ego. When that shift happens, which is the shift from thinking to awareness, an intelligence far greater than the ego’s cleverness begins to operate in your life. Emotions and even thoughts become depersonalized through awareness. Their impersonal nature is recognized. There is no longer a self in them. They are just human emotions, human thoughts.

Your entire personal history, which is ultimately no more than a story, a bundle of thoughts and emotions, becomes of secondary importance and no longer occupies the forefront of your consciousness. It no longer forms the basis for your sense of identity. You are the light of Presence, the awareness that is prior to and deeper than any thoughts or emotions.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, June 4th, 2021 by Dr. Stephen Russell in BAREFOOT DOCTOR’S GUIDE TO THE TAO

Posted on June 3, 2021 by jmaz479

“Your system will function adequately on four hours’ sleep a day, with correct mental programming; however, this may deplete your adrenaline levels after a while. Seven hours a night is enough to get your dreaming and self-healing done and, if commenced before the witching hour, twelve midnight, will be more potent.

Sleep-time is when your body regenerates itself and your energy is renewed. Sleep whenever you like, if possible, but do most of it in one hit. As well as healing your body, sleep heals your mind, outlook, alertness, attitude and mood. Your spirit receives information, often premonitory in nature, while you dream. This information can be accessed by writing your dreams down as soon as you wake up (this becomes easier in time)…

Sleep on your right side, coiled up like a dragon, so that the blood can spend the night in your liver, being washed, and away from your heart. Excess blood in your heart during sleep-time will give you crazy or alarming dreams.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, June 3rd, 2021 by Don Miguel Ruiz and Don Jose Ruiz in THE FIFTH AGREEMENT

Posted on June 2, 2021 by jmaz479

“As children, we invest our faith in almost everything that we learn, and this is how we lose power over our own lives. By the time we grow up, our faith is already invested in so many lies that we hardly have any power left to create the dream that we want to create. The belief system has all the power of our faith, and by the end of the equation we remain with almost zero faith, zero power.

And it’s easy to see how we invest our faith in a symbol like Santa Claus, but it’s not easy to see how we do the very same thing with every symbol, every story, and every opinion that we learn about ourselves, about everything…When we find out that Santa Claus isn’t the truth, we no longer believe in Santa Claus, and the power we invested in that symbol returns to us. This is when we become aware that we are the one who agreed to believe in Santa Claus. When we recover our awareness, we can see that we are the one who agreed to believe in the entire symbology. And if we are the one who put the power of our faith in every symbol, then we are the only one who can take that power back.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, June 2nd, 2021 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in REAL MAGIC

Posted on June 1, 2021 by jmaz479

“If you elect to constantly tell the world what is missing in your life, and how you can never get ahead, it is because you are in possession of an inner space that believes strongly in lacks. Those thoughts of scarcity include hardship, losing, difficulty and so on. These may be the topics that you find yourself discussing and the ways in which you present yourself over and over to everyone that you meet.

You can replace those inner slogans that have come to be the logos of your life with new thoughts that include abundance, plenty, bountifulness, profit, ease, sustenance and the like. When you see these thoughts as the way your universe is, and process your world in these ways, the words and concepts will be your way of presenting yourself…

You must begin to catch yourself when you are thinking in ways that subvert your own prosperity. You must monitor yourself all day long, and be sure to catch each and every thought that involves a scarcity consciousness.”

“A fundamental truth about being human is that, like it or not, life has a 100 percent mortality rate. It is up to you, and only you, to identify what is important and then shape your life accordingly. You are unique and possess a sacred power that is divinely entrusted to you. It is the mystical fire of your heart wherein exists the deep knowing of inner truth. Your sacred power is born from your spirit and it guides and empowers you to live the life you are destined to live. As you open your heart, you will find this seamless, divine intelligence.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, May 31st, 2021 by John St. Augustine in LIVING AN UNCOMMON LIFE

Posted on May 30, 2021 by jmaz479

“Just about every corner of our society has a component of trust; conversely, a large number of people claim to have “trust issues.” Maybe if we looked at a few places where we have to trust ourselves and others (and may not even know it), we could see trust in a different light. For instance, when you are driving, the only thing that keeps traffic apart is a yellow line of paint – and we trust that everyone else on the road took the same driver’s education course as we did!

If you have ever visited a pharmacy, you are trusting that the pharmacist knows what he or she is doing. Same goes for doctors, dentists, and therapists. Ever had your vehicle repaired? How about when you put your money in the bank? When you send your kids to school, you have to trust the system to educate them. The post office is nothing more than trust in motion. The list of opportunities for us to trust on a daily basis is almost endless, but it’s a two-way street. Be someone whom others can trust. The payoff will be enormous.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, May 28th, 2021 by Alan Cohen in RELAX INTO WEALTH

Posted on May 27, 2021 by jmaz479

“Because we are spiritual beings, it is the spirit of what we do that determines how much fulfillment we derive. You can be going through all the motions and doing all the appropriate and expected actions, but if you are empty or absent inside, your deeds mean little. Only soul satisfaction can fulfill you; everything else will leave you hungry. Spiritual teacher Paramahansa Yogananda noted: “Manners without sincerity are like a beautiful but dead woman.” Essence is more important than appearance.

When evaluating what someone is offering or giving you, or what you are offering, appraise it by the investment of spirit rather than material. An inexpensive, personally crafted gift from the heart can mean much more than an expensive jewel. Ask any mother how much she appreciates the drawing her little child made for her, and she will tell you it is priceless. The real jewel of life is your presence. Deliver that, and you will enrich everyone you touch, beginning with yourself.”

“Dreams do not get lost. They will wait forever and are very resilient. I experienced this directly when my biggest dream at 10 years old, of being “A beacon of hope and writing books for the world,” didn’t physically manifest until 25 years later at age 35, after years of self-destructive behavior and wild living.

Every morsel of everything I experienced in those years between 10 and 35 has been, or is being, utilized by my dreams today. Nothing was lost, wasted, or broken in the process, even though the inner critics will tell you it was. Inner critics are not right! Don’t listen to them. Give them new jobs to do.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, May 26th, 2021 by Rhonda Byrne in THE SECRET

Posted on May 25, 2021 by jmaz479

“Remember that your thoughts are the primary cause of everything. So when you think a sustained thought it is immediately sent out into the Universe. That thought magnetically attaches itself to the like frequency, and then within seconds sends the reading of that frequency back to you through your feelings. Put another way, you feelings are communication back to you from the Universe, telling you what frequency you are currently on. Your feelings are your frequency feedback mechanism!

When you are feeling good feelings, it is communication back from the Universe saying, “You are thinking good thoughts.” Likewise, when you are feeling bad, you are receiving communication back from the Universe saying, “You are thinking bad thoughts.”

So when you are feeling bad it is communication from the Universe, and in effect it is saying, “Warning! Change thinking now. Negative frequency recording. Change frequency. Counting down to manifestation. Warning!”.”

“To change the world is to change yourself. Others are unable to give you the peace that you long for. It must come from within you. First, you must find the love within you – it is there. You might have to uncover it by removing the fears, doubts, and guilt of old thought patterns to see the beauty that lies beyond. When you stand in the radiance of that love, with shoulders no longer bent, raise your head to see the beauty around you; see the divine creation in all that your eyes behold; the water glass half full and filling to overflowing in an abundance of love; see the master that you are. See the world in the process of change, with the opportunity to manifest your new world according to your heart’s desires.”

Posted on May 23, 2021 by jmaz479

“Have you noticed the effect of fear upon your face, eyes, heart, and other organs? You know the effect on your digestive tract of bad news or grief. Observe the change that takes place when it s found that the bad news is groundless. All negative emotions are destructive and depress the vital forces of the body. A chronic worrier usually has trouble with digestion. If something pleasant occurs in his experience, his digestion becomes normal, because normal circulation is restored and the necessary gastric secretions are no longer interfered with.

The way to overcome and discipline your emotions is not through repression or suppression. When you repress and emotion, the energy accumulates in your subconscious mind and remains snarled there…There is a spiritual and psychological way to follow in banishing the repressed or suppressed emotions inhabiting the gloomy gallery of your mind. The ideal way to rid yourself of these emotions is to practice the law of substitution…you substitute a positive, constructive thought for a negative thought.”
