Opening to receive
In Genesis, the ancient mystics taught us that Creation is inherently good and blessed. Every created thing is seen as good. The Universe, earth, life, all of the physical experience, all of it, is an original blessing! This includes you. It includes all the good that you are blessed with. It includes all that you attract and manifest and create for yourself and for the world. Accept your worthiness and accept that the Universe is filling your life with blessings.
So – repeat after me – “I accept my good. I accept my good. I accept my good!”
What are you taking in?
“Garbage in, Garbage out.” Your brain is a filtering, processing machine designed to absorb and respond to everything that comes in through your senses. In other words, whatever you are letting in or taking in, is what your brain is working on. Like a computer – what you put in is what you get out. You absorb fear and negativity by providing yourself with lots of that kind of input – from the news and in conversations. Or you absorb possibility, compassion, connection, hope, and power by providing yourself with lots of that kind of input – from the news, in conversations, in spiritual study and personal practice.
Take charge of what goes into your brain – limit the kind of input you don’t want to participate in creating. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know what’s going on. It just means you don’t make a steady diet of it. Feast on uplifting, positive, spiritual food and your brain will automatically set to work on absorbing and responding in alignment with this diet instead. “Possibility in, Possibility out.” “Love in, Love out.” “Vision in, Vision out.”
Abundance is your birthright!
The Universe is infinite and abundant. How do you know this? Simply observe nature. Nature supplies every seed, bird, and creature with food, shelter, and room to grow and thrive. Jesus, the great wayshower, knew this and he reminds us of this truth when he said things like “Consider the lilies of the field” and “that you might have life more abundantly” and “Ask, believing you have already received, and you shall receive.” Everything in the great spiritual teachings of the ages reminds us that the UNiverse is a bountiful, blessed place. We are a part of this Reality. The only difference is that as we become consciously aware of these truths we can deliberately align ourselves with this abundance. Today, embrace the reality that you are heir to the Kingdom, a kingdom of plenty, joy, and fulfillment. Let the floodgates open and your abundance pour in!
Manifesting Magnet
You are a manifesting magnet. As you focus on where you want to go, what you want to be, and what you want to do the Power of the Universe springs into action on your behalf. You become a magnet for everything that is needed to help you along the way. You become a magnet for signs along the path, angels of support, and unexpected doors of opportunity. You become a magnet for coincidences, serendipities, and miracles. This is the Law working to bring you and your manifestation together in a beautiful demonstration. You are a manifesting magnet!
Desire to express
You are filled with an inner urge to be, to be you, and to express your authentic self. You are urged by an inner impulse to express your self, your loves, your joys, and your creations. You are enticed by an inner desire to experience life, love, beauty, and joy. You are filled with these inner urges because you are Life, seeking to express Itself as YOU. Seek healthy, powerful, and peaceful ways to follow these inner urges and you will be letting Life lead you towards fulfillment, contentment, and meaningful contribution. You are here to express – to make manifest the glory of God.
Awareness of the Presence
Sit, with a still body and an open mind. Watch what flows across your awareness – thoughts, feelings, memories, tasks, songs, itch and twitch – simply notice. This is what is flowing through your awareness, but isn’t actually you because you can watch it. Remember – thoughts aren’t Truth, feelings aren’t facts, and your body isn’t who you are. You have thoughts, you feel feelings, and you have a body. The you that YOU ARE is the awareness within which these are happening. Sit in the realization of this truth, be present to your awareness, and the Oneness will reveal Itself as a Joy that wells up from within. Sit, with a still body and an open mind. The Presence is already present.
Be You!
You are a never-to-be-repeated, once-in-eternity, unique expression of Love and Life. Consciousness expresses and experiences Itself as you. No matter what happens, no matter what you do, no matter how anything turns out – you are precious and necessary to the Universe. You are loved beyond measure, supported by the very nature of Reality, and are a portal of the Infinite Divinity. Every moment of growth, insight, awareness, and deepening strips away the veils of unworthiness, fear, and limitation so that you remember who you truly are. Never doubt that this is true. So go on, Be You!
You are the Light
Your smile lights up the room
Your presence lights up the group
Your passion lights up your work
Your love lights up hearts
Your ideas light up possibilities
Your vision lights the way
Your power lights the darkness
You light up the world!
Go, be the Light.
An invitation and an offer – from Life
Peace be unto thee, stranger, enter and be not afraid.
I have left the gate open and thou art welcome to my home.
There is room in my house for all.
I have swept the hearth and lighted the fire.
The room is warm and cheerful and you will find comfort and rest within.
The table is laid and the fruits of Life are spread before thee.
The wine is here also, it sparkles in the light.
I have set a chair for you where the sunbeams dance through the shade.
Sit and rest and refresh your soul.
Eat of the fruit and drink the wine.
All, all is yours, and you are welcome.
Invitation from Life into Spiritual Living by Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind
Head and Heart, Mind and Body
There are many different ways we split ourselves and the ways we engage with Life and Reality up into pieces or parts. The two most common ways are head and heart or mind and body. Most often these are talked about as if they were slightly in opposition to each other and that our spiritual work is to should move from one side (which is perceived as lacking) to the other (which is perceived as better) to have a better spiritual experience.
However, we are a wholeness, a place where Infinite Wholeness is being expressed. We have various aspects, functional organs, and processes of engagement which all form the wholeness of this thing we call our “consciousness”. So it would be more accurate to say head/heart as a single whole or body/mind as complementary aspects of consciousness. This is most popularly represented by the yin/yang symbol. Light and dark forever merging into each other and arising out of each other in a beautiful complimentary dance.
Rather than moving from one side to other, our wholeness is expressed when we fully embrace, embody and live from both aspects of the One Reality; adding head and heart together, or body to mind, for a greater truth and experience of reality. Remember there is always an underlying wholeness in any seeming pairs of opposites. This is true about you too!
Decisive Action – the Choice of Champions
Thoughts from: “You are a Badass at Making Money” by Jen Sincero
If you’ve made a backup plan, you haven’t made a decision.
You can’t do anything if you try to do everything!
Your desires are brought to you via thought, and you receive them by deciding to take action.
Brilliant ideas are love notes from the Universe that say: This is for you. I think you are hot. And capable. Go share your stunning youness with the world!
Facing Fear = Breaking Through
Anxiety, Depression, Procrastination, being paralyzed, holding back, withholding, playing small….these are all the masks our fear wears as it controls us and our lives. It’s time to face our fear, name it, and see the truth about it. So, what’s our biggest fear? Ultimately, if you trace every fear to its source, it’s that we will die. We’ll die of embarrassment or we will lose all our money, home, and possessions and therefore die of hunger or we will lose that person we are so desperately trying to please and ultimately die alone.
Try it for yourself. Follow every fear you have back to its source by asking yourself “what’s the worst that can happen?” Keep asking yourself that question, and either you will come to an answer that you realize is so absurd you laugh or you will come to the ultimate worst thing – you will die.
Yet is that really true? Can you die? Oh, you can lay this body down, true. But you, the YOU that YOU ARE can never die. You are a deathless, changeless, eternal, immortal being of love and light, and place where the universal is showing up as YOU. So, if you can’t really die – what’s there to be afraid of?
A Firewalk, like the one we are having this evening at CSLDallas, is an example of a powerful opportunity to face our fears. Every time we confront the thing we are afraid of, let’s keep asking ourselves that question – “What is there to be afraid of?” Experience the power of breakthrough! Breakthrough to the power within you and set your life on fire!
Freedom to Succeed
Excerpts from the Science of MInd
We should interpret the “Will of God” as everything that expresses life without hurt…Anything that will enable us to express greater life, greater happiness, greater power – so long as it does not harm anyone – must be the will of God for us…Every act in the life of an individual is for the purpose that each person may express him or herself.
We must realize, however, that to attempt this self-expression at the expense of society or other individuals is to defeat the very purpose for which freedom exists, for back of all is a Unity.
The criterion is: Does this I wish to do express more life, more happiness, more peace to myself, and at the same time harm no one? If it does, it is not selfish.
Principle for Successful Living
Excerpt from the Science of Mind:
Science of Mind teaches us that if we comply with the Universal Law, the Law complies with us…No person whose entire time is spent in the contemplation of limitation can demonstrate freedom from such limitation…
There is such a thing as demonstrating a control of conditions…We not only believe, but we know that it is entirely possible, through mental treatment to greatly influence our environment, it’s reaction to us, the situations we meet and the conditions we contact.
We shall be able to prove this in such degree as we are successful in looking away from the condition which now exists while accepting better ones…our acceptance must become a subjective embodiment of that greater good we desire.
Creating Change
To create something new in your life, you need to change what you are doing. To change what you are doing, you have to change your choices and reactions. To change these, it starts with changing your inner conversation and outlook.
1 -Change “That’s never going to work out.” to “I may not know how that is going to happen but there is that within me that does.”
2 – Stop relying only on yourself and others and circumstances around you, and start relying on the Universal Intelligence to figure out all the things you say you can’t.
3 – Trust the Power and Presence of Love to be behind the desire you have to create change and know that this Love supports you through the discomfort of any change.
4 – Don’t hold back! Go For It and go for it long enough for the change to settle in and become the norm, not just a nice surprise.
Creating change by change impossible to I’m Possible!
