Empowered Marketing

A class I once took in creative marketing, and other key experiences in my life, has led me to think about how “mass-marketing” as a way to sell products is largely counter-productive to living a life based in Abundance.
 
Supply and demand is created by telling consumers they must purchase NOW…before supplies run out; purchase NOW, be the first on your block to get It!
 
Could this type of marketing be used to confirm a belief of the struggle in getting our Good?
 
I found this beautiful, inspiring, motivating, and enlightening video created by a company that is “committed to raising the consciousness at this time of the year.”  Yet right above that statement is this:
 
"Grab Yourself A Copy... We Are In Limited Supply!"
 (The color red thrown in there to stimulate action!)
 
I stopped…stared the screen and then started laughing at the realization that this company…one that touts an Infinite Universe that is jonesing to fulfill your every desire…is marketing in such a fear-based way.  The message is clear. “Unlimited Universe…except for our seasonal DVD.  It’s limited! Buy NOW before you lose out!  Impossible to simply make more, so you must buy NOW!  We live in an finite world of DVD’s, money and greed, so we want your money, NOW!”
 
Is that the message businesses want consumers to hear when they market their wares by saying “LIMITED SUPPLY, BUY NOW”?
 
We are trained by even our most spiritual Leaders and Businesses that we must give now, buy now, do it now… because it all rests on what you DO, in order for them to somehow have a better, more abundant life.
 
We reward negative behavior by paying attention to it.  Can we start paying attention and giving money to people and businesses that know what/where their Source is?  Can we imagine a world better than this?  Can we vision for an unlimited supply?  Can we accept our Good?
 
I am living in world surrounded by unlimited potential, possibilities and Love. Whatever else I need, or We need…is manifested as we continue to see good in the world. I see good in my world and in the world of those around me.

Anticipation

“Enjoy the journey, and if it isn’t created today, it is all right – if it isn’t created tomorrow, it is all right.  Don’t become so fixated upon your ending places that you run through life with your tongue hanging out!”  Abraham 

“[Emancipation]…will govern your own consciousness as you recognize the supremacy of Mind, the infinite impulse of Spirit, and your own divine birthright to use it.”  E. Holmes, Love and Law 
 
In the morning, I affirm for myself that by the end of this day I will have done things that are good, created feelings of well being, helped others, said and felt words and actions that create joy, intentionally.  I will boldly claim, “ I did something good today!”
 
When you get up in the morning and you greet the day with anticipation for the good that is waiting for you, there is that sense that says life is all right, even if it is still topsy-turvy.  
 
It does not have to be perfect right now.  Remember that in the midst of the chaos, the pain, the confusion, right where you are, Good is.  The trick is to breathe, become aware that you are where you are and begin to actualize what you choose to experience next!
 
It is not that you must ‘make do’ with the nasty conditions you find yourself in; the blessing starts when you turn your vision from what is, to see what new and exciting ideas the conflict you are in is bringing forth.
 
What is…is. Right now your power is in the moment that you reach for a thought that feels better.
 
I awake in the morning with anticipation for the good that is coming to me, and the good that is already here; I have the inner power to be joyful with intention!
 

For Example...

Here is an example of the "Four Easy Steps To Intentional Joy

I became aware that I was thinking that I did not have enough time any more now that I am working, so I realized that what I wanted was to feel as though I always had enough. I affirmed that I released the burden of time: "I release any burden of time in my mind and know that the moment to feel good is Now."
 
I also became aware that I play with time, always feeling time bound, only to move through this process over and over again...  I have decided to release that game, as well. 
 
 I prefer to live in the now and take care of things as they come up, to the best of my ability. 
"I am living in the Now, taking care of things as they rise to the best of my ability."
 
I appreciate the beauty of this process as I practice it over and over.  I really appreciate when I get to choose how I want to feel.  I also appreciate this water I am drinking and that I have the opportunity to learn skills that help me on my Journey.
 
Now I feel like I am allowing the good all around me... I feel I have plenty of time to do what I want to do and I take care of situations that come up to the best of my ability and I feel good in the Now.  At every turn in the road, I have the choice to feel good or to feel not so good....  I like feeling good.
 

Practicing The Principle

“Just Do It”  Nike slogan

“The riddle is solved and we all use the creative power of the Universal Mind every time we use our own mind!”  SOM pg 30

Life is easy, life is simple, and we are here to be free and to experience joy and to spiritually evolve!  

So, where are you?  Right now, how do you feel?  Just accept it.  If you look for the good in any situation…any good… then you will find it.  Accept what is, right now because   right now, in this moment, this is the truth for you.  Then ask yourself this simple question; How do I prefer to feel and what do I prefer to experience?   Then just start thinking about your preference.

Some tools for practicing:
Affirmations; Clear, concise statements of the present that affirm your good.  
Spiritual Mind Treatment/Affirmative Prayer; a five-step process that creates into your consciousness the change you wish to experience.
Visioning; allowing your Higher Wisdom to speak to you.
Meditation; time to bring your awareness back to the Now.

Think about what you prefer to experience in any situation and then use one or two or all of these tools to bring about the experience in your life.  The tools create a mental equivalent of your good in your mind so that you will recognize what teachers have been teaching forever…  there is Good everywhere. Our thoughts are creative and Law of Attraction brings to your world the balance of your thoughts.

End of story…it is that simple.  

I sit in my present conditions and become aware that there is another way to look at things.  I choose to see it in the way I prefer to see it, and using all the tools I have at my disposal, I create my own reality!

The Best Things In Life Are Free

"Accept Well Being as a given. How would you ever pay for sunshine?" Abraham

“As God cares for the birds, who do not gather into barns, so shall we be cared for if we trust and do not doubt”  Science of Mind pg. 432

How many people still believe the common thought that ‘no-one appreciates things they get for free’… or ‘people do not value the things that they have not worked hard for’.  On the other hand it is a common belief that ‘ the best things in life are free’.  

How does one bring those two conflicting beliefs together in order not to be really confused?

I am willing to bet that the subconscious belief those people operate from churns out a reality in which one does not appreciate the things that are free or come easy… and since the ‘BEST” things in life ARE free, they just can’t allow the best that life has to offer!

If you won’t appreciate things that come to you easy, then you are going to be bucking the current of your good for a long time.  You can choose to change that belief…and affirm “yes, things that I get for free are valued and that when I give to others, they put value on it”

I have decided that it is true that the best things in life are free… because I have devoted the last few years of my life attempting to follow my dream, I’ve had to look for the best and the free at every turn… and it turns out that YES, the BEST things that life has to offer are free and even better, they come with ease!

I had, unintentionally, been making my life hard…I now give up, let go and allow the flow of my good to come at me, FREELY, from every angle.

How about you?

I allow the flow of Life to flow around me and out of the free love offerings from Spirit; I pick the best for me!

Changing Our Attention

“We should expand our thought until it realizes all good, and then cut right through all that appears to be, and use this Almighty Power for definite purposes.”  SoM pg 148

“Release the negative emotion, the negative feeling – and the negative attraction - by taking your attention from it! Give your attention to what makes you feel good, thereby releasing your attention from what makes you feel bad!”  Abraham

Next time you become aware of not feeling energized, in a bad mood, or in a negative feeling way… notice what you have been thinking about. You will more than likely realize you have been focused on negative life experiences.    

Our attention to something means we are focusing on it, making it real.

Can you verbalize what it is that you do not want to experience any more.  Perhaps you decide that you do not want the experience illness in your body.

The next question is: What do you want to feel or experience, instead? You decide that you want to feel strong in your physical body; that you want to feel good and energized.  You want to feel your body full of vitality and able to do whatever you ask it.  

Spend a few moments thinking about the good parts about your body, the things you really like about it, the energy and vitality that you have now.  Appreciate your favorite parts and how it all works together.

In doing this you are in an appreciative feeling mode and from that point of feeling, you are now attracting into your life the physical manifestation of those new and higher feelings about your body.

Today I feel good about my body.  I love the way I feel when I affirm that I am whole.  I am getting better and better every day!

What Is Between Your Source & Your Supply?

“We are One with all matter in the physical world, One with the Creative Law of the Universe in the Mental World, and One with the Spirit of God in the Conscious World.”  Ernest Holmes

“You are Source in this physical body. And when you are letting nothing be more important than your relationship with your Source, then every other relationship will fall into alignment.”  Abraham

New Thought philosophy teaches us that we have nothing between our selves and God, which is our Good, so we have no reason not to experience all that we deem is good for us. Yet, How many people of New Thought put MONEY between themselves and their Good?

We often put money between our Source and our supply.  If we did not, we would have what we say we really want.

Remember that we live, move and have our Being in a Creative Medium which takes the impress of our thought and creates an equivalent of that thought in the physical world and waits for our recognition of it.

If we live in a Universe where we create what we experience by our thoughts, feelings and vibration, then we never have to worry about having money to get the things we want and need.

If we really feel good about what we desire and it is seen in our inner vision, then it is simultaneously created in the physical world and we will draw it back to lives by Law of Attraction.

When we realize that we no longer need to let money be a barrier to the things we desire, we will relax and see our Good everywhere!  We affirm our good comes from the very air, drawn to each of us, to our awareness, and by our own vibration.

Understand that all you need to do is ask for what you want and then just practice feeling good all the time!

I live in a creative, vibrational universe and I draw to my experience all the good things I desire. What I include in my thought is what is including in my experience.

Competition

“So our success in business, the activity which we generate through the operation of the Law, depends upon our ability to conceive.  At all times, we are either drawing things to us or pushing them away.”  SOM pg 301
“You were placed on this earth to create, not to compete.”  Dr. Robert Anthony

There is a common belief in competition that says that there is not enough to go around for every one so if I am in something that I must be competitive, I must be the biggest, boldest and the best.

I remember sitting in at a sales meeting for a retirement home and the topic was ‘our competition and what they are doing’ and I said rather flippantly, “There is no competition for the elderly, people are growing older by the minute!”  

So, what or whom are you competing with in your world?  

Do you compete with Spirit?  Competition can be defined as “The simultaneous demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources.”  Here’s a clue, there are no limited resources in Spirit, and hence there is no competition in Spirit!  

Appreciation for what you have in this moment sets into motion powerful attractor patters in your life for that very thing you are appreciating.  

You can choose to appreciate the unlimited supply or you can compete for limited resources.  It’s an amazing choice, if you think about it!

I appreciate all that I have and all that the Universe is bringing to  me. I set powerful attractor patterns into place with my appreciation and attention to my good!

Conscious or Unconscious

“Never forget that the Conscious Mind is the only Actor in the Universe and in man; that the unconscious or subjective mind is compelled, by reason of it’s nature, to accept.”  SOM pg 199
 
“Your work is to consume your Now with the thought that feels best.” Abraham  
 
The collective subconscious has no more power over me than does the thoughts of any another person, for I am the creator in my life.  It is from MY thought that I create and from MY thought that I vibrate in or out of harmony with what is around me.
 
It does not matter the “stuff” in my subconscious mind, what my beliefs have been in the past or what the “race mind” believes… what matters is what I choose in the moment and how I feel about that which I choose.
 
I have believed in the false power of subconscious beliefs to create my vibration when all around us we have proof that NOW is the point of power and as we consciously change our thought, our now changes.  
 
I am my conscious mind.  My physical body and life are a result of my past conscious thought and will change as rapidly as my conscious thought changes.  Permanence comes from making my conscious thought my habitual thought.  When that happens the unconscious part of me comes in harmony with the conscious me.
 
I am, I am, I am! I am Love, I am Wisdom and I am a radiant, magnificent being with all the power of my Indwelling Spirit to always guide my thoughts to right action!

Spiritual Being Practice

"Good never compromises with it’s opposite. The one practicing must be able to look a fact in the face, and know that all manifestations are effects and can be changed by changing the mental cause.”  SOM pg 189
 
“Practice Makes Perfect” Mothers everywhere. 
 
I realize that I am at choice for everything that is going to happen in my future.  The eternal Now is my point of power and this is the moment when I can put my spiritual understanding into practice.
 
What sort of spiritual practice is the best to take on?
 
The type of spiritual practice that you engage yourself in is up to you; there are many ways and many disciplines that one can encounter and act on, but what about practicing being a Spiritual Being; practice being a spiritual being who is living in this physical world.
 
When you are ‘being you’ there are numerous times that you can practice being a spiritual being.
 
Practice breathing on purpose and remembering who you are.  
Practice asking yourself how and what you are feeling.
Practice thinking about what do you prefer to feel.
Practice stating your intentions and affirming those things in your life.
Practice finding things to feel good about; practice finding things that feel better when you observe them.
 
We are never going to get it all done, we are always changing, growing, evolving and we are going about it perfectly, all the time.
 
Now is the perfect time to practice!
 
Today I practice changing my thinking by remembering to practice being a Spiritual Being. I practice changing the mental causes of my conditions by daily spiritual practice.
 

Cleaning The Closets Of Our Lives

““We have thought that outside things controlled us, when all the time we have had that within which could have changed everything and given us freedom from bondage.” Science of Mind, pg 295
 
“Law of Attraction always yields to you the essence of the balance of your thoughts.  No exceptions.”  Ask And It Is Given, pg 73
 
What is that thing that is within us that is so powerful that our very freedom or bondage lies in the balance?  The power of our thought.
 
Today you are going to come upon something that you wish to change.  Pretend it is this desire for a clean and organized closet.  When you think about the closet and clutter, what happens?  

Usually we negate the good feelings and we chastise ourselves for not getting to done sooner… we start to feel really bad and we ‘mind-whip’ ourselves for letting it get so out of hand and then the phone rings, and we are off on another tangent, forgetting about the closet.  Until the next time…
 
In the moment that you think of cleaning the closet, you put out a desire for it to be clean and organized, then you proceed to beat yourself up for not having done it, making false promise about doing it and then you distract your thought to something else to forget about it.  
 
Try this next time.  Notice the closet (oh here we are again!) and you change your mind and affirm that in truth, empty; it’s a perfectly clean closet!  

Affirm how much you love it when closets are cleaned and organized and then do ONE THING to make it so.  If you can take the time right now to do some cleaning and organizing, great.  If not, schedule a half hour to do so in the immediate future.  
 
See how great that can work for you! What else can you apply that to?
 
I go forth looking at the tiny things I want to change and then make small changes for the good.
 

Receiving My Good

If we can’t accept small gifts from loved ones, how can we expect to accept the gifts of Spirit and the Grandness of the Universe?

“The Love of Spirit is the Divine Givingness…The law of Spirit is Cause and Effect, we can have only what we can take…. we can take only that to which we are receptive.”  Ernest Holmes

I have pondered and thunk why my consciousness insists that I live a life that is an apparently a spiritual a no-no.  I seem to be always out of money and lately (for a long time, now) I’ve been experiencing late bills, some bills not even being paid, struggle with money, yadda, yadda, yadda (me and a lot of others).

Yet I FEEL abundant, I FEEL loved, I FEEL JOYFUL and happy and free more and more of the time.  I don’t feel poor, I feel abundant in many ways!

What is up with that? I don’t know.  

But what I do know that one of the (many) gifts I’ve received with this experience is learning how to receive and I realized how really difficult receiving my good has been all my life.  What I know is that there are many, many people that have this challenge…receiving their good.  

I think the teaching of ‘giving and receiving’ is not about giving at all and I really want to spread the message that we need to focus on receiving and accepting our good.  I firmly know that when we realize that we have more than we need, we will give, but this time in joy and good feelings!

So, it’s as simple as practicing receiving our Good; here is a nifty trick to remember.  Ponder how awesome YOU feel when you get to give Good to another and then remember that the person that just gave something to you will feel that good when you just receive!!

Right now I receive my good with appreciation! I allow my good; I receive my good!  Hot Dog! That feels good!  Today I practice receiving, I say “thank you” and it’ is good!

Getting The Good

“Practice rampages of appreciation, and as you collect fun things and beautiful things and use them to become an Ambassador of Well-Being -- the things you have been asking for will unfold in a continuum of extraordinary life experience.”  Abraham
 
“If the only prayer you said was, “Thank you” that would be enough.”  Anonymous
 
The best way to take your thoughts from ones of negative to positive influence is to start looking around your present environment and just find things that bring good thoughts to your mind. 

If I find myself in a mood that is less than joyful, and I am aware that where the flow of my thoughts and feelings are going to attract to me things that are not what I really want, I realize that I need to look for reasons to feel good. 

As you allow yourself to think about things in your life that you really do appreciate you will  realize in a few moments time, you are feeling better and not resisting thoughts that attract a greater expression of good in your life. 

You will find it easy to appreciate the good around you and thereby attract more of that good when  you turn your thoughts to things about the situation or condition that feel better when you think about them.
   
Today I focus on things in my life that I do appreciate, and I let my mind wander to good things around me.  It is as simple as looking for things that are joyful to me and then expanding my mind to include it in my vibration.

Firmly Affirming

“The next thing to saying a good thing yourself, is to quote one.” Emerson
“We cannot always control our thoughts, but we can control our words, and repetition impresses the subconscious, and we are then master of the situation.”  Florence Scovel Shinn

Affirmations are a powerful way to fine-tune your vibration to a point where you are attracting the things that you have firmly decided that you want to experience!
     
Speaking to yourself in an affirming way is another way to keep your thoughts, therefore your vibration, in tune with any greater intention you’ve set for yourself.

Turn toward the things that you expect to happen.   Deny the fear; it is unreal. See a broader vision and trust that your good is coming to you in unlimited amounts.  

Practice asking yourself how you feel in any given situation, identifying your connection or disconnect, and then affirm what it is that you prefer to feel in that situation.  

These are some of the things all of us do on this journey of affirmative Self-Love.  We are the explorers of our minds, hearts and bodies.  We love ourselves first, and then we automatically love each other.  

Today I start with baby steps in affirming a higher love for myself and in turning my thoughts to ideas pure positive connection to my Source!

Ongoing Ideas

I desire to teach that it does not matter what happened in the past, they can choose a different future today by changing what they have been thinking about, talking about and attracting into their lives.  We constantly give birth to new ideas and new desires.

We create by attraction.  We attract in equal measure what we think about.  People respond to our emotions, the Universe responds to our thoughts and our vibration is equal to our thoughts and feelings.

We don’t really create anything, but our attention to things in the outside world seems to create conditions and circumstances that equal how we feel.  

We live in a universe with layers.  The spiritual and the physical are two different layers that we are focused on; this is our perspective in life.  We can perceive life from a physical human POV or we can view it from a Spiritual POV…  they are two very different perspectives and depending on the one you are observing, is the way you are acting and experiencing.  

It seems like you don’t do anything to deserve the crap in your life, but simply by your attention to the crap and the lack of the good, you are observing it in your life.  

Simply, what you observe in your life, you experience.  Forget about creation…   humans don’t create, they react.  Spirit in human is what creates and it only does so by bringing together the elements in a way that fits the pattern in the subconscious mind.  Patterns exist in the subconscious mind and that is what needs to be brought to a different place.. we need replace the pattern in the subconscious mind and in the COLLECTIVE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.  

We do that by bit-by-bit, moment-by-moment, changing our minds about what we want to feel and then consciously focusing our attention on something other than what we’ve been paying attention to in the past.

Remember that we are always changing, moving, evolving.  There is a stream of well-being that no matter what, is all around us.  Relax, breathe and remember you are a being of unlimited ideas.

Note About Attention

What do I want to give my attention to?  I answered that question by saying that I wanted to give my attention to an abundance of good things. I wanted to put my attention on my changing body, my new relationship that is challenging and rewarding, I want to put my attention on people paying me well for my services and people reading my writings, listening to me speak really having an experience of higher understanding that assist them in reaching higher and higher vibrations.

You see, what ever you give your attention to is what you are going to be observing in your life.  Most of the time when we enter a new situation we observe what is going on and make a judgment based on what we observe.  

Usually what we are observing is the opinions and points of view of others who are just as confused and negatively focused as you’ve been up to this point.

With a new awareness that you are more in control of your experience than you realized before, you will be able to firmly decide what you want to experience and then affirm that in your life flowing positive energy, and appreciating the anticipation of your good coming your way.








I want to put my attention on money flowing into my life easily and all my bills being paid on time, with ease and all that I owe at the time.

I want to put my attention on feeling good as my highest intention.  I want to put my attention on walking and stretching and lifting weights.  I want to put my attention on yummy and nutrious food that I enjoy preparing and eating.

I want to put my attention on a clean and organized home where both Brad and I have a part in taking care of and we work together on many tasks like cooking.

I want to put my attention on great sex

Awareness First!

“Each time you deliberately choose a good feeling thought for no other reason than you want a good feeling thought, it activates a vibration within you that makes it that much easier for you to choose the next good feeling thought. Until eventually what you *mostly have access to* are the good feeling thoughts”  Abraham

“The moment we fully and vitally realize who and what we are, we then begin to build our own World even as God builds his.” Ralph Waldo Trine

Awareness is the inkling that we are in control of how we feel and how we think and the broader understanding of how much we really are the choosers of most of the experiences that we live through.

Of what do we need to become aware? What about being aware that every person is a powerful person, a being that has within, the potential for great joy and love and that there is a power greater than you in the world and that you do use it and you can use it with conscious understanding to create whatever you wish in this life. Everyone can!

Once you start to become aware that you are in charge of your thinking, you soon realize that you can choose thoughts that feel better when you think them.  Once you become aware, then the work of sifting through your experiences to find what you no longer want, starts.

An awareness of what is no longer wanted gives one the idea of what is wanted.  Once you get awareness of what is wanted, really desired, you understand how much affirmation you need to flow your newly aware energy to your hearts desire.

I am aware that I, and I alone, am in charge of my own thoughts. I am aware that I have the power to change my thinking. I am aware that I am a powerful being and I am aware that I am much more than I thought!

Allowing
Continue to, moment by moment, to turn from the conditions and experiences that are not wanted to attract conditions that are wanted, on purpose.

Life Journeys

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways drink in one hand, hamburger in the other, body used up, worn out and screaming WOO-HOO what a ride!

“We must consciously know that we can use creative power.  The more complete such acceptance on our part, the more completely we shall be able to use this power for definite purposes”.  Science of Mind, pg 401

I see life as a journey to be explored thoroughly. When I become aware of something in my life that needs to be changed, I am aware that it is my consciousness that will be the changed element to my chain of events.  

Awareness is key; key to changing your thought and it takes practice to change your thinking.  

Relentlessly change your thought from the one of lack, fear and worry to the one the thoughts of Abundance and Joy you determined was your intention.  If it is your intention to love others unconditionally, then by all means you will find yourself thinking thoughts of judgment towards others.  This is a great opportunity to act from a place of higher Truth.. “Oh, yeah, how can I flow my love towards that person?”

Turn toward the things that you expect to happen.   Deny the fear; it is unreal. See a broader vision and trust that your good is coming to you in unlimited amounts.  

These are some of the things all of us do on this journey of Self-Love.  We are the explorers of our minds, hearts and bodies.  We love ourselves first, and then we automatically love each other.  

This journey is meant to be fun…we can not get it wrong, we are always changing, evolving and expanding…we really can be, do or have what ever we put our attention on.

Today I acknowledge that life is journey, that it can be fun and that I am in charge of my experience!  I affirm what I really want and appreciate all the good in my life now!

Grooving To The Good

“Wherever you are, is just fine…You can get to wherever you want to be from wherever you are…It’s time to stop measuring where you are in relationship to where anybody else is, the only factor that has anything to do with you, is where you are in relationship with where you want to be.”  Abraham

“The subjective state of a person’s thought decides what is going to happen in their objective experience.” Ernest Holmes


Question of the day: Where are you in relationship to where you want to be on any given subject of your life?  Are you where you want to be with you’re your health? Job? Money? Relationship?

The first step is become aware of where you ARE in relationship to those things and where you prefer to be.

When you are aware of your preferences in relationship to those subjects, then you can take an active stance in affirming that they are in your life now.  You will use affirmative ways to get into the feeling of having what you want.

You know what you prefer, how you prefer to feel, affirming that it’s yours.  All that is left for you to do is to allow your vibration to be in harmony with your desire by feeling good.

You fine-tune your attention to be tuned into the pure positive energy that comes from Source, freely. You are intentionally changing your subjective state of mind!

There are lots of ways to raise your vibration!  Tell 10 people today how fantastic they are and as you are spending time looking for the good about other people, you are in harmony with your good.  It’s easy once you know how!

Today I look for the good in people that are around me and I tell people how good they are.  As I appreciate others around me, I am feeling good.  Feeling good about life means I am allowing my Good from Source!

The Big Giant Source

"I want to feel good! I really, really, really want to feel good! Therefore, I will look for reasons to feel good.'' Abraham

“ Our thought and emotion is the use we make – consciously or unconsciously- of this orignal creative Thing that is the cause of everything.”  Science of Mind pg. 36


There seems to be a Big Giant Head and we are all connected to It. As It thinks, we think, and because the BGH knows everything, each of us can know anything that there is to know.  

Because the Big Giant Head creates out of the substance of energy that is every where, and forms the energy of the thing It is creating, whoever observes the thing, will see what It thinks about.

All that is created is really only created in the moment that any one individual Head becomes aware of it.  

I am what I see myself to be and as I feel about myself, I look for evidence.  When I find evidence ‘out there’ that matches what I feel is true ‘inside’, then I find agreement and can point to it and say, “see it’s true!”

Everything that the individual I can imagine, the BGH will form out the unformed substance (energy) and it will look just like I imagined.  If my thoughts are more dominant in the positive energy flow, what is created out of my thoughts will be even BETTER than I imagined.  If my thoughts are negative, what is created from my imagination will be less than I desired and lack the luster of abundance.

In this ever present NOW I really put my intention on positive powerful thinking.  I consciously find things that make me feel good when I see and experience them.  The more I do this, the better it feels!

Why I choose

Someone recently asked me why I choose the path I do in my life and this is the answer:

I choose this path because I love to speak and I love to teach and I have great joy when something that I have taught someone is a way for them to be more joyful.  

I choose this path because I love to cheer people on, to assist them to visualize and realize their own greatness.  I choose this path because I love to write and I love to form my ideas on paper and have other read them and be reminded of what and who they are.

(Extensions of Source Energy, extensions of Love, extensions of the Life of the Universe with the ability to think and attract and create)

I choose this path because I love to love and I love to experience others around me being healed because of Love.  

I chose this path because I want to teach others to speak empowering words to themselves and to each other.  I enjoy teaching people to speak to themselves and others in empowering ways, using words that create unity, joy and love.  

I choose this path because I love to tell people how great they are and how they are made of the same substance that gold, God and all Good Things are made from and how there is a power in the Universe that they can use to make all their dreams become realities.

I choose this path because I love to speak and remind people that with their thoughts and feelings they are the one who allows or rejects of all the good in their lives.  That there is only good and they are either letting the good in, or they are refusing it, pushing against it with so much effort that they are sick, weak and poor.

I choose this path as one of simplicity in living, but in quality of life.  I love beautiful clothing, well maintained and manufactured car, a quality, solid, beautiful home that is my haven and my shelter and my place of relaxation and laughter.  My relationships are challenging, loving and rewarding.  My health is radiant, my body is strong and easy to take care of and I am adorably cute in the eyes of those that love me.  

I choose this path because I was born to create the things I wanted to experience and I have learned about the Law of Attraction, and why it’s so important to my soul and to my life to teach Law of Attraction because that is I want the people of the world to know about most.  

I believe that everyone applied the laws of metaphysics, we would end all dependency and become interdependent on each other, creating from the unformless stuff that is all around us, visualizing and working together for the good of Life and each other.

A world with out borders, a world that works for every one.

Just a thought.

Do It Daily!

“If you are not doing anything to expand your thinking – on a daily basis – then you will not get new, amazing and miraculous results.” Mary Robinson Reynolds
 
“What we demonstrate today, tomorrow and the next day, in not as important as the tendency which our thought is taking…the dominant attitude of our mind.”
  Ernest Holmes
 
Law of Attraction works like this; what you think about, you vibrationally attract into your experience.  When we think, a vibration is activated in our energy body.  Ernest Holmes said that the Universal Mind take the impress of our thoughts and acts upon them.  
 
We are always thinking and we are always attracting the balance of our thoughts.  Most of the time, before we became aware of this process, we spent a lot of time thinking about lack and limitation and putting our attention on what we didn’t want.  
 
As we grow in consciousness we start to balance our thinking with much thought about appreciation and what we do have and what we desire to attract.
 
Before, we had a lot of negative upsetting experiences that might have seemed random…like bad luck and we were aware of all the painful things.
 
As we grow in awareness, we will notice that things are flowing our way, we noticed ‘coincidences’, things happen that delight us and prove to us that, yes…we are feeling better and things are changing for the better.
 
Every day focus on what you desire, practice appreciation for every thing in your life that feels good. Take time to stop, breathe and to practice the awareness of a broader, more expansive, more joyful thought.
 
Choose a discipline, a practice that reminds you daily about the Law of Attraction and then feel good as you practice feeling good!  
 
Today I choose a spiritual practice to remember that I am the thinker of my thoughts and that I choose thoughts that feel better! I raise my vibration by appreciating things around me that feel good!

Allow Your Good!

What good are you resisting?  I bet if there is something you want, and you are not experiencing it, there is some resistance to having it or else you would have it.  

If it is not yet appeared in your life, you can feel your way to it.  Allowing it means our feelings are equal to the desire; we feel good about the thing we desire, even if it is not in our experience yet.

Finding things a challenge, we have the opportunity to look at it from another point of view, from a different perspective.  Some times when we are resisting things it’s because we intrinsically know, that thing we are resisting is not right for us, or we have a belief that we are not a deserving person or a worthwhile being.

We receive in order to give.  You allow, allow, allow and accept and accept and accept and from that place of allowing, accepting and receiving your good, you will overflow with giving goodness!!

I am like a pond, over flowed with my good…I ooze it out everywhere.  I ooze out my good; every one gets some of my good because I give it freely.  I allow, accept and receive my good, and because my good is over flowing, good goes out to every one I meet.

Choosing Our Paths

“Look for something to appreciate and practice it until it becomes easy, and you will live happily ever after.”  Abraham

“ We have the right to choose what we wish to experience” Ernest Holmes


I remember singing with an old Coke commercial when I was little, with full gusto and feeling, “I want to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony”….

I wanted to do that then and it has evolved into a desire to teach the world to speak to themselves and to others in empowering ways, ways that create unity, joy and love; to think in perfect harmony with the Power that gives life, that forms substance around thought.  I chose the path I am on because I want to teach others to speak empowering words to themselves and to each other.  

We give so much lip service to “I think therefore I am” and if we embodied it, we would not think of negative things, be judgmental, critical or cause others pain.  If we embodied that saying, if we believed the teachings of all the Masters of consciousness that have said it, we would think of ourselves as what we truly want to be.

Here’s a new thought: change your mind, improve your consciousness by consciously turning the focus of your thought to one that is more in harmony with what you say you want to experience and then have fun with it!

Today I choose to think of myself as that which I want to be.  I am healthy, whole and experience radiant health and bask in the joy of loving myself on a deeper level.

Sowing The Seeds, Reaping The Harvest And The Wait In-between

Yesterday it suddenly dawned on me (after a few months of pondering) why it was that many people around me insist I am impatient when I did not feel it was really true of me.  I was patient, I’ve waited years for my good, damn it!  

I reasoned and realized that I habitually act impatient because I can’t stand the thought of planting the seed today and waiting awhile until I harvest my good.  I want it now. I want it NOW.  How do I go from wanting it NOW to having it NOW and being patient with the thing we all call time?

So, the answer came as this:

Plant the seed in the NOW with the delicious thought of appreciating for the good that you experience now with the seed and with anticipation of the good that is coming.  

Once you start this process you can wake up every morning with the expectancy of good that you will receive that day because of seeds you planted a while back, then it become a string of good nows and anticipation of more good coming.

Sounds like a great way to live, yes?

Start with the end in mind…

Visualize and dream about your success with any idea you have.  

Then become aware that you are the one that has the conscious thought that will become the foundation of your manifestation.

Figure out the steps to take to start the creative process.  Be aware that you are in control of this creation with your conscious thought.

Affirm what it is that you want to experience.  Appreciate and feel good for what you have and what is on it’s way to you.

Allow it to happen by continuing to be in control of your conscious thought, be aware of your wanting, affirm it’s presence in your life now and look for it ever where.

Appreciate any bit of it that you have now (and there must be some bit or you wouldn’t be attracted to wanting more.)

Allow your good by seeing and feeling; get excited about it because the more you see, the better you feel, the more in harmony you vibrate with your desire.  

Observations

I get a kick out of the Google Ads I get to the right, below. Depending on what I write about, different sorts of ads appear. It is fun to see what shows up.

That reminds me of life in that we sign up for something and we promote it on the pages of our lives, then things about us that other people observe, depending on what is inside of our thoughts and feelings, changes.

But what others observe is not always the Truth, just like the things I write about on this blog are not what often show up in the ads. I talk about seeds of consciousness, the Adsense shows up hawking tomato and other seeds!

I notice that people often observe things that are not true from a Spiritual stand point but the observation comes from their subconscious because each of us are our own point of attraction. What we observe in others is really a reflection of where our point of attraction is focused.

One way to change your mind is to notice what you are observing and see if that is really what you want to focus on. If it’s not, change your focus to something that is pleasing, desired and expresses a better bit of well being for you.

Remember your point of observation is your point of attraction.

What are you looking at?

Teach Only Love

We talk a lot about love and what it is and how we don’t have it, need more of it and are going to be miserable until we find it, but the big question that every one has about love is “what IS it, anyway?”  

Love is energy.  Love is all there is and love is the answer to any human problem. Love is everything because everything is made out of energy.  Love is the be-all and end-all.  Yet, we still ponder, ‘what is love?”

It’s a feeling that can only be recognized and quantified by the human being expressing it.  It is a feeling of passion for what you do every day.  It is a feeling of abundance about life and an appreciation for all the events, people and experiences that you find yourself in.  

Love is a decision and a choice to feel good about all of Life.  Love is a state of consciousness and a condition of life that is peaceful and joyful and awake.  When you are choosing from a conscious thought of love, no matter how good it is NOW, life just gets better and better!

You affect the quantum field of all possibility that is all around you, when in doubt, ask what would Love do?  And then, do that!

Success Is A Journey

Success Is A Journey, So Stop Running

”Hard work always pays off over time, laziness pays off now”. ww.wDemotivators.com

At the root of all habit is one basic thing: the desire to express life.
SOM pg 222

Everything we do is a habit; basically a habit is something that is done to express life through our thoughts in a way that makes you feel a certain way and experience the conditions in a way that is equal to the thoughts about it.   We can change our habits!  Our life is expressed at the level of our consciousness. We are always choosing what to think about, and how to feel about what it is that we are thinking about!  

Wherever you are, regardless of the conditions around you, when you choose to feel better NOW you will learn to think about your life in ways that make you feel better.

Thoughts about lack or pain or suffering are only habits of negative thinking that we get into because we saw evidence of it in our lives.  From seeing the ‘truth’, the evidence of r lack, we really felt like we lacked that thing wanted…  It’s a cycle and habit of thinking and feeling.  

Here’s a New Thought…  Look for the EVIDENCE of the ABUNDANCE of what you want.  I wanted some new clothes, I looked at my wardrobe and appreciated what I had and did some things that made it a bit better and affirmed that I would get new clothes.  The next day some one gave me two huge sacks of clothes and in it were enough things to create a whole different new and used wardrobe! I loved it and it feels good to know that in feeling good about what I had, I created more of it…  It was about deciding to love what I had, and accepting more from the Unlimited Supply we call Spirit….  All the ancient Masters have taught to rely on God alone for your Good.  Hey, yeah…  it works!

I am healed, whole and healthy, Good comes to me easily and effortlessly and Love will find away!  I appreciate my NOW and focus on the good, here and NOW.  I choose to think a thought that makes me feel good!

Only One Mind

I realize that half the challenge in changing my life is asking the right questions.  Questions like “How am I thinking about my life now?” “What are my limits?” “What do I believe is true about life?” brings you to clear understanding of what you do not want in your life.  From the place of contrast, I see what I really DO want.  Getting clear about what I really want to feel in life will give me the opportunity to change my thought and then life.

You are a Being of pure, positive Energy and that the same energy that keeps the planets in alignment is the same energy that beats your heart.  

What is true for One Being is true for All Beings.  We are not creations of some higher Being so much as we are consciousness formed in such a way that looks like our body, and imbued with the same traits as Beings of Higher understanding.

We are the part of the Whole of Consciousness that we individually use.

Individually we are creators of our own experiments; collectively we are Designers of our Universe.  I am grateful that there are Beings with more wisdom than the “I that is Me”. I   can get limited in my thinking for a limited time only.  

I relax and let in the Infinite Wisdom that controls worlds to come forth into my thoughts and feelings to control the conditions of my individual life.  It is good!  I am wise and I use knowledge wisely.    

Lovin' the Bus

I truly enjoy taking the bus in this city. I find it to be a wonderful experience, full of the diversity of people and the freedom of not having to be concerned about traffic. I think the biggest barrier I had to riding the bus more was the uncertainty of the whole process. In actuality the bus and Max system in Portland is an awesome way to get around because you can get almost anywhere you want in a good amount of time.

I learned that when I just trusted my self to be where I needed to be on time and just relaxed and enjoyed, I connected with ease and my trips were quick and effortless.

One of my favorite things about the bus is “the Poetry in Motion®, a program that brings the work of local and national poets to transit vehicles. Now in its eighth year of the program, TriMet continues to partner with the non-profit arts organization Literary Arts, Inc. to make riding the bus and train a more pleasurable experience. Other sponsors include Lamar Advertising, the Poetry Society of America and Comcast.”

Ride the bus; it is a perfect opportunity to love one another!

My new favorite is Lyric 12, which states: I believe in myself slowly; it takes all the doubt I’ve got; it takes my wonder.

When you ride the bus, you can practice loving yourself by observing what you are being judgmental about in other people. Take that quality that you are having the negative thoughts about and see how they are alive in your life. What would you prefer to feel?

If you just rode the bus once a week, can you imagine how much better of a person could you be?

Infinity In A Grain Of Sand

My cat thinks that a patch of sunshine on concrete is the best thing in the world. She is resting outstretched out in ‘smiling repose”. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that “finite that has wrought and suffered; the infinite lies stretched in smiling repose.

I imagine a cat, resting in the sunshine on a hot summers day, reflects the Infinite power that churns and mold our lives.

Life is meant to be easy, joyful and free. Beliefs and habits that many people carry with them are the first and biggest limits to a person’s happiness.

The Infinite, the thing that goes on forever and ever is not bothered by the problems that loom so big in your mind. Remember this; each and every problem will be solved upon the moment of your death, so relax, breath and affirm that you are in harmony with energy of Life.

Only One Mind

I realize that half the challenge in changing my life is asking the right questions. Questions like “How am I thinking about my life now?” “What are my limits?” “What do I believe is true about life?” brings you to clear understanding of what you do not want in your life.

Beyond Appearances

What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself." Abraham Maslow“To live affirmatively is to live as God lives, so we must plunge beneath the appearance. Here is where the test comes. We are testing ourselves to see whether we can forget evil and conceive more good, let go of limitation and take hold of the limitless, let go of the appearance and embrace reality.”E. Holmes from www.website.lineone.net/~ernestholmes/holmes2.htmI know we live in a world of limitations, barriers, challenges and contrast, we would not want it any other way! We could not create without the contrast of life to point us to our desires! From the contrast, the struggle, the challenges we are called to a higher, wiser, broader experience of life.Often challenges are not wanted, they are painful and we humans will do anything we can to avoid them. We fight, we worry, and we struggle against the flow of life and each other. All the attention to what we don’t want to experience creates more of that experience because that is where our attention is.What is the appearance that we must plunge beneath? Any appearance or manifestation or feeling of lack, separation, pain… It is not real; it is not Truth, it is limiting ideas appearing as real. Today I look beyond the appearance of lack and limitation in my life and affirm that I am a limitless being, living in a limitless universe, with a limitless desire and I will always, always be loved!

Spirit Is Not Bound By Your Experience

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” Ecclesiastes 3:1
The World has learned all it can through suffering. E.H. original SOM text
Years ago a great thinker, Ernest Holmes, started to speak to people in small groups and this is what he taught as he spoke; “Mental Science, which is the Science of Mind and Spirit, makes a tremendous claim when it states that it can free the individual from the bondage of sickness, poverty and unhappiness”.Today this philosophy and science, based on ancient wisdom, continues to evolve. I believe that NOW is the time to stop suffering, to stop pointing to the past and rationalizing, and really LIVE. Spirit is not bound, Spirit is not sick or unhappy; every human being is a ‘God-Center’, we are Spirit, individualized into form. So, Spirit…unbound, free to express as my Good…expresses as Good in my experience then Law of Attraction brings what I believe is good around me… I recognize my spiritual nature and my GOOD and I notice that my conditions slowly and steadily improve and become more joyful!There was a time when suffering was necessary in order for me to become a individual expression of spirit, so that I could find myself, but it’s done, the time is NOW. I choose to express my Good and I choose to experience things that bring me more of my Good. As I start to see the Good I want to experience, in others… I notice that slowly the conditions in my life improve. If you can do this, a little bit, day-by-day, you are truly Living!The time is now, I choose Life. I choose Love… I express my Good today as I go about my normal daily activities.. I am the activity of My Good. Now is the time, this, here… is the place!

Change your mind. Choose to think about good things. It sounds glib and easy and you know why? Because it is easy; It is about saying, “This is what IS now and this is where I want to go!” and then doing what you can do NOW in order to start a journey to where you want to go.What experiences do you want in your life? Releasing all the “worlds” limitations is what we are doing here.I have been getting lost and almost always out of gas and always not wanting to take the most obvious and direct route has to do with me not wanting to follow the most obvious and direct route from HERE to WHERE I want to be heading.

As I worry that the freeway will be clogged and slow and take all my energy.

Empowering words is about using whatever language you are using to change your perspective about yourself. I never have to think another negative thought is a good reminder to some one who understands the basic ways of metaphysics, but is stuck in a rut.

Using words that “we” agree are negative do not necessarily make them negative in action; we must start where we are at and go forward from there. Light workers need to remember to meet people where they are and then show them a difference perspective...if they are ready, they will be receptive
