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!
