In Everything Give Thanks

The next time you are confronted with any undesired outcome, just stop. Take one good, deep breath and say "Thank you for this gift, and the treasure that it holds for me." Be assured that it does hold a treasure, even if you are not seeing it right now.

Neale Donald Walsch

Appreciation For the Spirit of Christmas

The next step in appreciation of the Spirit of Christmas is understanding the meaning of the Birth of the Christ within me and within you, where we recognize our own Spiritual Nature, our own Divinity, and the Divinity of All others, with no one left out. When we recognize and dwell in our Christ Self, "the secret place of the Most High," we recognize that in Divine Man, the man of God's creating, there is no sin, sickness or death, and we will not accuse ourselves or anyone else of being anything less than God-incarnate, within man.

The Message of Christmas

The message of Christmas is that the visible material world is bound to the invisible spiritual world.

The Helping Attitude May Be Harmful When Mis-Directed

We have been cautioned not to judge others for their lacks, limitations and transgressions, as the measure of our own judgment will be measured back against us, but little did I know to what extent this goes, and the deeper I got into the various mystical writings of the world, meditating and contemplating over just what certain statements are saying, the more I understood that I could not afford the luxury of a single judgmental thought, because it would someday come back to haunt me. Let me share what others have said about this.

"When you expect another to succeed without your help, you see them as their Source sees them. When you believe another needs your help, and you attempt to shore up their weakness with your strength, you help them not." From the Teachings of Abraham. Esther and Jerry Hicks, Getting into the Vortex, page 116

"Why do you say, 'I do not accuse myself of selfishness'? Because every person you see is an expression of your own traits of character. When he is set right (in your consciousness), you are set right." Emma Curtis Hopkins, Scientific Christian Mental Practice.

"As you forgive others, you too, shall be forgiven." Jesus

"The man I see, is the man I be." Unknown origin from the 19th century.

One more video from David R. Hawkins, this one is a classic on how to deal with worries and suffering:

David R Hawkins On Anger & Ramana Maharshi

Interesting talk by well known psychologist and author, David R. Hawkins, on how self-defeating anger can be:

There is No Sin, Sickness, Death or Karma

There is no sin, sickness, death or karma. It is our own beliefs that make them real, and, in turn, objectifies them in our lives. When we remove the false beliefs, we remove the errors that go along with them. Man's true nature is freedom in Spirit, where materiality cannot enter. When man continues to realize his own Spiritual nature, and the nothingness of the multitudes of errors in his life, the errors will drop away on their own accord, with little or no effort on his part, because they will be starved into extinction.

The Power of "Divine Disbelief"

I have the power within me to rise above or transform any problem that I may be faced with. There is no power "out there" that can harm or hinder me in any way, once I KNOW the Truth, and stand firm. It is through my "Divine Disbelief" in appearances that I transform my reality, but it is the 'vehemence," the strength of my Divine Disbelief" that determines how quickly the claim is met.

"No! There is not a law of sin, sickness or death! There is no absence of Life, Wholeness or Abundance! There is Good for me (and all others), that is my right to have. I am truly blessed."

Omnipresent Power and Good

There is no absence of success, ability or abundance in my idea of omnipresent Power and Good.

The Magic of Imagination

My Imagination is the key to solving all manner of problems in my life. I have found that it is my connection with my Inner Being and allows me to have access to Infinity. Once I have connected with Divine Imagination, the inner fire has been lit, and the doors have been opened so that Good can come into my life in the form of healings, supply, harmony and rich, new ideas that supply answers to my own questions and needs.

Am I Seeing the Real You?

When I look at you, I am not seeing the Real you; I am just seeing my concepts of you, with all of my human judgements, beliefs and misperceptions. It is when I am in the Silence that I see the Real you, whole, perfect and embodied with all of the splendor of your Spiritual Perfection.

There Is No Sin, Sickness or Death

"There is no sin sickness or death." Emma Curtis Hopkins, around 1888
What appears to be so, is, just a projection of the mental miasma of what we call mortal mind, carnal mind, or the race mind, which has no power or law to support it.
Because of this, even though you or I may have done what I and others have thought to be sinful, stupid, self defeating or harmful, none of it ever happened in the Mind of God, and we are all sinless, cleansed in consciousness of everything unlike God, those of us who know this are truly blessed.

I Have Created This

As I have made up the Reality I live in, I can make up another, just as well.
I can make up a Reality of fulfillment, love, joy, peace and abundance, right now. It is all in the choosing.

Now I AM

Now, I AM at one with my Inner Being and all of Its Glory.
Now, I AM at one with Infinite Love, Harmony, Joy and Abundance.
Now, I AM at one with Wholeness, Perfection, Strength and Power.
Now, I AM apreciative of my Oneness with Infinite Being.

Taking Truth Into Consciousness

As I take an affirmation of Truth into my consciousness (Vortex) and dwell upon it, the transformation takes place. I am renewed in body, mind and spirit.

Everything in my outer world is a part of my process of transformation. If I find resistence in any way it is a signal for me to re-frame my attitude about this in my own consciousness.

I Am Endowed From On High

I AM endowed from on High with all of the Heavenly Riches. God's Peace fills my Soul..

The Perfect Place

I Am in my perfect place. Divine Love works through me, bringing about ever greater expressions of Love, Joy and Harmony.

The Taming is in the Framing

It is how we react to what is going on in our mental process that determines the appearances in our lives. I now look upon the distractions that come up when I am knowing the Truth about a person, place, thing or condition as a chemicalization; that is, in order to realize Health, Wealth, and Happiness, which are the Truth of our Being, we may have to go through a process whereby we will face any and every negative thought, feeling and emotion that comes up with the attitude of, "Go off to the end of the universe and come back to me as a strength!"
Then, where I saw fear, I now see faith; where I saw hate, I now see love; where I saw lack, I now see abundance; where I saw sickness, I now see wholeness; where I saw sorrow, I now see joy. The key is to not see these negative traits as an enemy to overcome, but as the next logical step in the full Realization of the Truth. "Resist not evil." "Be transformed by a renewal of your mind." Do not make the same mistake as many in organized religion make. You can't be transformed by fighting error. You are transformed by including whatever comes up in your prayers and meditations, and letting your own Inner Being move you through your own fears and doubts to those of Spiritual Harmony.
When you get to that point, then the healing will follow, often in a way that others may say is just another one of those "coincidences in life," but you will know the truth of why it happened. And as those "coincidences" keep happening in your own life, and those around you, your own faith in the Trancendent Power will grow.

My Inner Being Knows Everything

My Inner Being sees all, knows all, and has powers far beyond what my human reasoning mind can comprehend. Another name for my Inner Being is Divine Mind, and is not to be confused with our intellect or reasoning faculties, as important as these are in our human experience. As I learn to stand back and realize that Divine Mind knows all, and knows what needs to be done for the perfect outcome in each and every situation in life, and as I learn to attune myself to Divine Mind, I will have more and more flashes of inspiration that lead me to do the right thing in any given situation that I am facing.

I Have a Divine Destiny, an Affirmation to Live By

I am a child of the Light and I have a Divine Destiny. What I have to offer the world is a unique expression of my Inner Being, and there is no one else who can express it as well as me.

When Our Hearts Change

When your heart changes, your outer world will change with it because it will make room for the good you are seeking.

I Am Loved

I am loved by God, and by all of the expressions of God.
I love God, and all of the expressions of God.
There is no one, or no thing left out.

What is Right for Me

"It is finished, in Divine Order." Joseph Murphy
My Inner Being knows what is Highest and Best for me in every area of my life, and wants me to be happy, healthy, prosperous and free. All prayers, affirmations, visualizations and mental exercises are ways to erase my own resistance to living the life, here on earth, that I was meant to live.

A Little About Me and My Beginning the Spiritual Path, Part 2

It was my own dissatisfaction with myself that made Hill’s works so appealing. Nearly three years later, after we moved to Northern California and having several more mystical experiences, I developed a burning desire to find out about life and the way the Universe operated. I studied just about everything I could get my hands on and went down a lot of blind alleys in my search, but my prayer was in asking for more Truth, Wisdom and Understanding, and it seemed like I learned something in every blind alley that I traveled down. I realized later that it was my prayer for wanting the Highest and Best Truth, Wisdom and Understanding that I was somehow guided into the next step of my own unfoldment.
Perhaps this also explains why I was never able to totally embody any philosophy, religion or movement that I studied or participated in, no matter how much I may have wanted to. With that said, I am deeply appreciative for those that have gone before me that have shed a little light on my path, for without them it would have been very difficult to make what little progress that I have made. I realized that much of the error in organized religion was not in the founders, but in the followers who didn’t have the same level of understanding as the founder. Their interpretations were not as pure and they often had intentions for purposes contrary to their leader’s true teachings.
I will capitalize words that are referring to God or the Divine Attributes that make up our spiritual nature. This will help define what I am talking about. I will quote from various spiritual resources in order to make a point, and I will give them credit when I do. I will also refer to my past experiences to help clarify or somehow make a point in the topic of discussion.

A Little About Me and My Beginning the Spiritual Path

In trying to figure out how to begin this Blog it occurred to me that the best way would be to tell a little about me and the context in which I live my life and why I believe the way I do. Once I lay out that groundwork I will go into certain topics that have a certain appeal to me at that particular moment and further expand upon them. I don’t have any desire to tell others the right way to live their lives, nor am I trying to build up an organization of followers. I look upon my purpose more in the line of sharing my experience and what insights I have gained about how to live my life in a more successful manner.
I no longer judge a person by the normal symbols of success that he may have, but by the life he is living. Let me explain further. As I see it a person’s success is judged more by the love, joy and happiness that they are experiencing than by their material acquisitions and accomplishments. Not that there is anything wrong with carving out an empire or enjoying the finer things in life, but I realized that there were a lot of people that the world looked up to that were pretty miserable inside, and there was no way I would have traded with them.
I didn’t always think this way. I grew up envying the affluent and wanting what they had, yet, at the same time, hating them for our class differences. It looked like there were things I just couldn’t be, do or have in life because of this gulf. Then, a dear friend gave me a copy of Napoleon Hill’s book, Grow Rich With Peace of Mind, which spoke to me in a way that shook some of my core beliefs.
It was in 1969, I had been back from Vietnam for two years and mad at the world. I was married to my first wife, raising a family and working in Los Angeles. I devoured Hill’s book and got out of it that if I wanted peace of mind and the joys of life, I was going to have to change much of how I viewed, life, myself and others.
I had had mystical experiences during my childhood and a religious transformation while in Vietnam, but I had not done much as far as taking them to the next step of how to live a life in harmony with my highest good. It was Napoleon Hill’s works that were the first steps to opening up the doorway to Infinity for me.
