BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, June 24th, 2020 by Deepak Chopra in THE SEVEN SPIRITUAL LAWS OF SUCCESS

“Least effort is expended when your actions are motivated by love, because nature is held together by the energy of love. When you seek power and control over other people, you waste energy. When you seek money or power for the sake of the ego, you spend energy chasing the illusion of happiness instead of enjoying happiness in the moment. When you seek money for personal gain only, you cut off the flow of energy to yourself, and interfere with the expression of nature’s intelligence. But when your actions are motivated by love, your energy multiplies and accumulates – and then surplus energy you gather and enjoy can be channeled to create anything that you want, including unlimited wealth.”

Deepak Chopra, in “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, June 23rd, 2020 by William L. Murtha in DYING FOR A CHANGE

Will Murtha: So every life situation turning up, regardless of whether we initially think of it as bad, is a direct reflection of something that we have called forward?

Voice of Higher Presence: That’s it. Look at every life situation that shows up, and you will come to the divine truth that what we put out there boomerangs back to us. This is because life is a perfect reflection of our innermost thoughts. What we experience is often a mirror of how our mind sees the world. You may think that random events are just showing up in your life by chance, but they are not. They have been magnetized to you, by you. Everything you feel and witness is being drawn to you by your level of consciousness.

When you come to live this level of understanding, you will have made one of the most profound jumps in your conscious awareness. You will come to realize that everything you experience in life, and every person you stumble across, is there for a reason…All the people who have shown up at every crossroad of our lives have shown up to serve our intentions. They have appeared to us because, on one conscious level or another, we have magnetized them toward us. And that is because the relationship they bring into our life space offers numerous lessons for where our thoughts and emotions say they wish to take us.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, June 22nd, 2020 by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in YOUR SACRED SELF

“Having goals is a way of abandoning now in favor of a plan for some future now. The absence of a lot of specific goals helps cultivate you awareness that you are not alone on this journey. You begin to trust in the divine guidance to assist you in your present moment. You come to know that the universe will handle the details if you surrender and let go somewhat.

Have you ever been told that you must attend certain schools for a specific curriculum? I want you to know that it doesn’t matter what school you attend. If you have an inner drive to know something or excel in a given area, nothing will dissuade you. There are books in all kinds of libraries — at small community colleges, in your home town. You will find them!”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, June 19th, 2020 by Pete Koerner in THE BELIEF FORMULA

“The components of effective prayer are: A desire that you believe in and that is not detrimental to you, or anyone, in any way; an effectively formatted request, thought form, affirmation, or prayer, that adequately expresses your desire to the Creator; and Belief in the process and that your desired outcome is already assured.

Now, you have to have an effective delivery method, which includes: A quiet, peaceful place; a state of mental relaxation (alpha-state); visualization of your desired outcome; and the delivery of your properly formatted prayer action or thought pattern in a way that leaves no doubt in your subconscious mind as to the reality of the outcome. When you combine these elements, you change your world.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, June 18th, 2020 by Richard Carlson, PH.D. in DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

“Spend a moment every day thinking of someone to thank. This simple strategy, which may take only a few seconds to complete, has long been one of the most important habits I have ever engaged in. I try to remember to start my day thinking of someone to thank. To me, gratitude and inner peace go hand in hand. The more I genuinely grateful I feel for the gift of my life, the more peaceful I feel. Gratitude, then, is worthy of a little practice.

If you’re anything like me, you probably have many people in your life to feel grateful for: friends, family members, people from your past, teachers, gurus, people from work, someone who gave you a break, as well as countless others. You may want to thank a higher power for the gift of life itself, or for the beauty of nature.”

BEST of PONDER on ThIS for Wednesday, June 17th, 2020 by Justine Toms in SMALL PLEASURES, FINDING GRACE IN A CHAOTIC WORLD

“Take a moment to access your inner voice. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Hold that breath for a second or two, then release it with a sigh. Do this several times. Ask yourself the question, “What does my heart want to tell me right now?” Pause and let a few words float up from your heart. Try not to edit or to judge them. Turn off your inner critic and let your heart write. Write down these words, and take ten or fifteen minutes to expand on what your heart has told you. Then spend a few more minutes reflecting on what you’ve written. Pay special attention in the coming week to the ways listening deeply to your inner voice helps you.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, Jun 16th, 2020 by Wayne W. Dyer in THERE’S A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION TO EVERY PROBLEM

“I find that people who experience a great deal of injury and illness in their lives appear to enjoy continuously telling everyone about their maladies. When these people begin to tell me how proud they are of their maladies, I respond with indifference to the sickness itself. “You don’t have to live with this pain,” I suggest. “You are stronger than any disease.” I do not give the injury any credibility.

I treat my family and myself in this way as well. I have long noticed that in our family we rarely talk about being tired, not feeling well, or feeling something “coming on.” My wife and I have just naturally sent our children messages that they are more powerful than any disease process. In other words we want out love to be more associated with health, strength, and spiritual consciousness, than with being sick, tired, or injured.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, June 15th, 2020 by Terry Cole-Whittaker in LIVE YOUR BLISS

“Blame is the refusal to accept responsibility for our actions, for our feelings, and for whatever is happening in our life. We look for the guilty party, the one who did this to us, who upset us, who made us mad, who prevented our success, who disappointed us, who broke her promise, who ruined our life. We make this person (or group) the cause of our problems; we are the innocent bystander, the good soul who was taken advantage of. But it is certain that, if we were there we had something to do with what happened.

The first name at the top of the list is God’s. “How could God do this to me?” we may ask. “After all, I pray and am a good person.” The key to liberation and power is to understand that we have free will, and not even God interferes with our choices; not even God tells us what to think, feel or want. By the basic law of life – cause and effect – whatever we set in motion by our conscious thoughts, feelings, desires, and actions will take form in the people, places, things, and circumstances surrounding us…

Once we recognize that something that has happened is a mirror that reflects back to us a lesson we need to learn, and stop blaming others, including ourselves, we can get the lesson and be grateful for it and to those who played their part.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, June 12th, 2020 by Joseph Murphy in THE AMAZING LAWS OF COSMIC MIND POWER

“People are constantly asking, “How can I get ahead in life, improve my circumstances, get a raise in salary, buy a new car and a new home, and have all the money I need in order to do what I have to do when I want to do it?”

The answer to all of these questions comes through learning to use the laws of your own mind: the law of cause and effect, the law of increase, and the law of attraction; these laws of your mind work with the same precision and exactitude as do the laws of physics, chemistry, and mathematics – and as definitely as the law of gravitation…

Prosperity means to increase our capacities and abilities along all lines and in every direction so that we release our inner powers. The promotion, the money, and the contacts you wish to make are the images or likenesses, as well as the physical forms of the states of mind which produce them.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, June 11th, 2020 by Sanaya Roman in PERSONAL POWER THROUGH AWARENESS

“Every thought you send out creates events in the universe, attracts people to you. Even more than that, every thought you send out is creating the transformation of the planet. You may not feel that one person can have that much effect on the overall energy of the planet, and yet one high, healing thought can cancel out 10,000 or more negative ones. The higher the healing thought, the more lower ones that get canceled. It is not just yourself you are helping when you evolve your thoughts, but everyone around you. You do not even have to know them personally or be physically around them. Healing, positive thoughts go out into your neighborhood and your community and help everyone who is reaching upward.”

“Every single soul on earth contributes to the whole. Every blade of grass. Every inch of life is important. Every bit of life is holy. You, too, no matter what you may think about it.

Life is something to be in awe of. Love Me and be reverent towards life. Do not put life down. Do not drag it and disparage it. If life is a gift, and you do not see its gifts, then how can you be grateful?

I ask you to be grateful for what I have wrought. I have wrought with your participation. I did not surprise you. You were not foisted on earth. You were not hurtled here. You were not picked up and dropped. You were placed here, and you chose the spot. You cooperated. Cooperate now. Get on with it.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, June 9th, 2020 by Misa Hopkins in THE ROOT OF ALL HEALING

“If you try, the word itself implies putting in effort without guaranteeing success. Trying, though commonly stated in regard to healing oneself, is really a waste of energy. Why try at all if you are willing to accept any outcome? Here is what is likely to happen if you decided to try. Initially you might begin to heal and as the healing requires more clarity of focus, diligence and belief, you get tired and give up. Or if you aren’t seeing results fast enough you give up. Or you begin to doubt that it is really working. In any case, because try implies your efforts might or might not work, your healing progress slides and your worst fears are confirmed. Whatever you were doing didn’t work. Now you can tell yourself, “I tried, but it didn’t work.”

Remember Yoda’s instructions to Luke in Star Wars when he was learning how to levitate objects. When Yoda instructed Luke to levitate his ship out of the water, Luke told Yoda he would try to do it. Yoda instructed him, “Do, or do not. There is no try.” Whether you are levitating your space ship or healing your body, the same principle applies. These aren’t just inspiring words from a good movie script. These are words for life…When it comes to healing, trying is a waste of your energy. If you want to heal, commit your mind, body and heart to making that outcome a reality, and do.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, June 8th, 2020 by Stuart Wilde in INFINITE SELF

“If you currently have a concept of God outside of yourself, then mentally bring God home – allow its enormous power back into your heart. And even though you may not necessarily feel the infinity of the God Force within you as yet, at least you can imagine it there – visualize it there. This idea doesn’t transcend any beliefs. You can still be a good Christian and believe in Jesus Christ, but believe in a Christ energy inside you rather than outside you. An intellectual concept of God outside you dis-empowers you, because what you are saying is, “I don’t have a command of my destiny.” This means that you don’t believe you can create energy and make a difference.”

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, June 5th, 2020 by Neale Donald Walsch in CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD, BOOK 2

“This is difficult to hear, but I tell you this: There is perfection in everything. Strive to see the perfection…Need nothing. Desire everything. Choose what shows up. Feel your feelings. Cry your cries. Laugh your laughs. Honor your truth. Yet when all the emotion is done, be still and know that I am God.

In other words, in the midst of the greatest tragedy, see the glory of the process…Now this sounds like an impossible thing to do. Yet when you move into God consciousness, you can do it. You don’t have to do it, of course. It depends on how you wish to experience the moment.

In a moment of great tragedy, the challenge always is to quiet the mind and move deep within the soul. You automatically do this when you have no control over it.”

“When you find yourself feeling doubts about your ability to attain your goal, take a moment to remember a time when you have enjoyed a great accomplishment. It is more effective if it is something that you accomplished not only mentally, but physically as well. The body has a phenomenal memory. In fact, some say it has a greater memory than the mind. When you’re uncertain, let your mind take you back to your triumphant moment again, and feel it in your body with as much detail as you can. Recall the smells, colors, sounds, feelings, and surroundings.

As you sink into this most pleasant memory, allow it to resonate in you once more as if it were happening for you in the present moment. Let the exhilaration of your success stay with you as you turn yet again to the task at hand. This meditation will be of enormous support for you in actualizing your goal.”
