Extras for Vision Boards

I just came across these great blank checks to fill out to yourself or someone you feel might need it. Fill one out and have faith that you will be provided with what you need. Great for vision boards, prayers and meditations to ask for abundance to manifest in your life.

Have fun with it an give it a whirl, see if it works for you. No harm, no foul if it is done with the best intentions for all involved. We loose our games of pretend as we grow into adults and stop having faith and believing in the impossible.

You may even make a few bucks! Who knows. Children have such a vibrant energy because they believe in the unattainable. As adults we loose it, and we become stunted because we lack that great ballance of imagination with our realities.

Light Energy

I evoke thee- the spirit of the law not the letter of it. The ability to see and do, not look and judge. The love that asks for nothing but to give. –P. Telesco

In every religion, in every part of the world, we as human beings tend to believe in something. A higher good, a higher state of consciousness, a divine God, or Gods and Goddesses, something outside of ourselves perpetuating toward the greater good. Some believe in science. It is all energy, and in either realm of belief, we are all composed of energy and so is physical world around us. All energy vibrates with a frequency. Tiny sub particles everywhere we look and everything we are. No matter what we believe, we are all created from the same energy. That being said, much of the world gets caught up in the semantics of what we believe. Much of religion is composed of the thoughts of being right. People want their religion to be right- thus them being right. This is the plight of the ego. Self-validation and the need to be right and the need to win. This is where we lose sight of main point of it all. Let all of that fall by the wayside and what we have left is love. Allowing not only ourselves to live and experience the gift of life, but allow others to live as well. Thus we learn and practice the gift of forgiveness, kindness and love. This is the ultimate ideal- to practice the spirit of the law and not only the letter of it. Through this, we create a love that asks for nothing but to give.

Unconditional love for each other as fellow beings of the same energy. When we are loving of others, we are loving of ourselves. The same goes for when we are hateful toward others, we are hateful toward ourselves. Often those who are destructive need the most kindness and love. It may not always be healthy to have those people a direct part of your life, but you can be there for them indirectly. I know a wise man who told me once, in a discussion of religion, that when he prayed at night, he prayed for his enemies first- anyone who he felt who had wronged him or anyone who he was angry with. Those are the cases that need the greatest resolve. I believe we are all godly, and all beings of light and each of us are capable of the same positive love that radiates directly form the divine source or energy that we all are part of.

I am a light worker,

I awoke so that others may awaken,

I learn so that others may also learn,

I transform so that others may transform,

I lighten my load so others may change theirs,

I learn to see so that others may see,

I forgave myself so that I may help others to forgive,

I love myself so that I can bring out love in others,

I am a light worker,

I live to give comfort,

I live to shine loving light into others,

I live to heal,

I live to give hope,

I live for truth,

I live for love.

1. Think of five things you are grateful to have in your life. There are many. Your health, the fact that you got to wake up one more day, your wealth (there are many with less and would give anything to have what you do), the abundance of love you have in your life (your presence in this world makes a difference to many people), the really cool individual you are (there is no one else in this world like you), How far you have successfully made it in a difficult world and all the stresses that affect us every day.

2. Thought of the day: Man can only receive what he sees himself receiving.

3. Set the intention for the day: Visualization. State and command the kind of day you intend to have. Give it a quick visualization. This may seem silly- but the most successful sports teams in the world are coached in the art of visualization before a game. They visualize their plays and how they intend to win the game. Life is no different. Professional studies show that teams that practice a brief visualization have a higher percentage of successful plays and wins. This is a fact.

(Example: Today is going to be a great day. I will be successful in all of my endeavors and live in each and every moment of the day- being fully present and engaging with others.)

4. You are responsible for the energy you bring into a room. This existence is not just all about you- even though it feels like it. You and the energy you bring into a room can either brighten or darken a room. Choose to be the bright energy and engage with others. You never know what they might be going through as well. We tend to get wrapped up in our own inner turmoil. Kindness is the biggest gift you can give to another. Do something kind for someone else- even if it is just a smile, a positive call or text. Make it a point to do something kind for someone else today.

5. Shake off the negative energy. Negative energy is like lint- sometimes it just attracts to us like when you are wearing black pants- everything seems to attract to them. Negative energy can be the same way. Shake it off.

New Directives

 

 

Everything Begins with You. You are responsible for your life, your choices, your attitude and the energy you allow to radiate from you. Whether that energy is positive or negative, it is your choosing of the vibe you put out and attract back. The mind is a rather complicated entity, yet in the same regard, can be kept simple. When things are put into perspective, the mind goes from a complex thing to a simple and easy to maneuver your life and your actions- stress free and worry free.

 Napoleon Hill quoted, “Whatever your mind feeds on, it attracts.” Consider the content of your mind. What type of thoughts do we allow to occupy the mind? Usually, it seems to be occupied with  worry, doubt, and fear or our personal problems and life issues that come our way. Unfortunately, what most do not realize or consider is that the worry, doubt and fear aspect that we have become accustomed to having in our thoughts more often than not, attract those very things we worry, doubt and fear. Worry, doubt and fear are composed of negative energy frequencies. If lack and limitation of any sort is on your mind- you will more than likely attract lack and limitation.

The mind is a very powerful source of energy. It is a tool that we do not use to its maximum ability. Education and being smart is one thing, but this is training the mind to attract better energy frequencies, which are more likely to yield more positive results. We have the ability to use the mind power to direct it to whatever we may choose. Take possession of the mind instead of letting the mind and its problems take possession of you.

If you have a worry or concern, limit the amount of time those thoughts can occupy your mind. Instead of worrying, being fearful, having thoughts of lack or limitations, replace those thoughts immediately with thoughts of thankfulness and gratitude. The energy around you needs to be stabilized and grounded for a good beginning of positive thought process and a positive frame of mind. First and foremost, give gratitude for what you do have. Many people in this world would trade places with us instantly. I recently read an article from the New York Times for a class about modern slavery and human trafficking. It was in this I gained a huge perspective of my thankfulness and gratitude to be who and where I am in life.

The article was about a young Asian girl who at the age of six years old, was sold by her family to a brothel. At the age of six, she was sold as a commodity to a foreign pedophile as a child virgin. Thinking the nightmare of her life couldn’t get worse, it is common for young children prostitutes to be re-stitched as virgins to be sold again as a prized commodity.  The young girl tried to run away but was caught each time, in which punishment consisted of being put into a vat of human excrement filled with scorpions and spiders. The girl recalls being punished up to nine days in this manner. Things like this are happening in the world this very moment. So there is my personal perspective to give me instant gratitude.

When I am being a spoiled brat for wanting more material things, ways of life, the infinite quest for “more” -perhaps one should focus on the greatness that already surrounds us, the ability sometimes for happiness is just to recognize it. So many people would be willing to trade places with us. We have so much, but lack the ability to recognize it and the ability to be grateful.  This is the foundation upon which happiness and positivity lie. Whenever you have a problem, give thanks first for what is going good in your life. Then, focus on the solution of your problem- without worry, doubt or fear. One of the most important things to do is to give thanks in advance- for the solved problem, the solution or whatever it is you want. This will likely attract those positive energies your way- versus if you were focused on worry fear and doubt, it is those energies that would attract to you. It really is your choice what type of energy or vibe you put out. If it is negative- you will unfortunately attract that right back to you. If it is positive, positive energy will find you more easily. It is all a simple choice of the mind. Doubt, worry, fear, lack, and limitation should have a very limited role in your show. Give the lead role to a positive character. Let only good thoughts possess your mind so that you may be open to attract the good things that are all around you.  Good energies are out there, but they have to be called upon to work for you. Let that be your directive.

Life Is....

Life is raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into something beautiful, or debase it into ugliness. It's in our hands.

Unmoved by Appearances

Unmoved by Appearances

By Jennifer Brochu

Faith is the substance of things hoped for- the evidence of things not seen. Faith holds the vision steady and the adverse pictures are dissolved and dissipated, and due season shall one reap, If one does not falter. Have faith in a perfect way. Do not be moved by appearance.  – Florence Scovel Schinn

I had always had the presumption that “faith” was synonymous with religion. - Thus an instant turn off for me. A lot of organized religion scares me. Since the beginning of time religions have been created at first to make people feel and do better, provide answers with the questions of creation and being. But Human egocentric tendencies lead to inevitable corruption and down the road these very same religions are used as means of politics, selfishness and control. Most great ideas of religions become lost in translation sadly. The claims of being religious spouted from the mouths of the masses over the years. I have heard more words than actions from those who claim to be religious.

 “Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.” ― G.K. Chesterton

Nuff said. It was no surprise to me that when I brushed up against the subject of faith in a philosophy class a few years ago, I was not the least bit receptive. Add the fact that the example being used to convey the concept of faith was a Christian Bible story was enough to make my left eye twitch in distain. In all of my open mindedness on religion, philosophy and being, my first honest reaction to any Christian concept is to shut down immediately. It is the hypocrites I think of instantly and by blood starts to boil. Not a reaction I am proud of, but it’s the truth.  I am never pushing any religious propaganda here- just philosophical concepts that may better assist us all on the infinite quest of happiness and being.

So back to my philosophy class and the Christian Example- Faith and the story of Abraham and Issac.  REALLY? One of the dumbest stories I had ever heard of to date, in my opinion back then. (Yes- still closed minded in all of my open mindedness.) A brief recap of the story-

After year of Abraham not being able to have children with his wife Sara- they finally have a son in unheard of later years of life. After this miracle happens, God then tells Abraham that he must sacrifice his only son to him as a symbol of his faith and devotion. Abraham follows his instructions and takes his only son and prepares to do the sacrifice, down to the very last second with knife in midair preparing to stab his son. In which only seconds before this act was to be carried out completely, God recounted his request by stopping him.

My reaction: WTFF? What kind of shit story is this? What God would do that to someone? People didn’t even live to that age in those times- historically speaking. So that couldn’t be true. Second of all no one at that age….70s (if even still alive- fat chance) would ever be able to bear a child. And then after all of that to have a child then your God tells you to sacrifice it? What a doushebag! (Yes I just called that God a doushebag. The infinite and I will settle up on all of my opinions- right and wrong -when the time is right.) Then I am sure I ranted on the postings that we were required to respond to with my thoughts on the subject. I just could not break away from the ridiculousness of it all.

It was by all accounts, the most Absurd thing I have ever heard of.

ab·surd

[ab-surd, -zurd] adjective

1.

utterly or obviously senseless, illogical, or untrue; contrary to all reason or common sense; laughably foolish or false: an absurd explanation.

I never understood the point of that story and the very existence of that story bothered me for many years.  Fast forward to more recent times, and my second round at the study of metaphysics and philosophy- when it hit me. What in my opinion that story is actually about. When I was able to remove my resentment of the origin of the story and remove my over logical thinking for a moment, I saw that the story was not about an unfair god or circumstances such as age that would never happen- but it was indeed a story about faith and being unmoved by appearances.

With the stresses of our daily lives, it is most difficult to maintain a positive attitude or any type of faith in anything. We may start out with these thoughts of positivity and faith- but as time progresses within a situation- appearances adverse to our wishes, hopes and desires being to manifest all around us. We may be able to keep up the faith in the beginning with a few things that begin to falter our faith and positive thinking…but when everything around us points to that very unwanted outcome, fear and anxiety instantly replace any thoughts of positivity or faith that ever existed.   We all become moved by the appearances around us. Logic paired with fear and anxiety leads us to believe in the events that surround us. How can it not? All arrows lead to the unwanted or feared result. We become consumed with worry and prepare for our defeat.

This story is about unwavering faith- that even in the midst of the worst possible situation- God directly asking him to kill his own son as a sacrifice- Abraham kept his faith and kept it unwavering until the very last moment- even though ALL APPERANCES were against what he truly wished for and wanted. Now of course this would rationally and logically never happen to us- but we can apply it to any of our stressful situations.

When appearances around us suggest something, it’s difficult to be unmoved by these appearances. It’s almost illogical to ignore them. This is the reality of the present situation- we think to ourselves.  We might as well accept the reality check- and set aside fantasy land and move on in our utter disappointment and distain.  Playing with this concept has been quit fun and a great learning experience-especially when you a person of extremely low patience and demand instant results, such as myself.

I have personally applied this concept to quite a few things lately. I admit some have proved most difficult.  However, it’s  been quit the intriguing thing watching situations go down to the last minute, with no evidence of the thing desired anywhere in sight, in fact- all evidence to the contrary. It is a pure mind over matter concept. I suggest you try it out with a little thing. And move upward with many little things and move this act of faith on to bigger and better requests. This way of thinking works for me in the following ways:

1.   Things are what they will be. If something is mine by divine right, it will come to me no matter what. No matter how much I worry or how much anxiety I get over a subject matter, I will get what is intended for me.

2.   Wasting my minutes worrying and doubting a desire only attracts the opposite of that desire. An unwavering faith changes the energy of the situation and has much better chances of any desire to come to fruition.  You may not get it 100% of the time- but the odds are much better.

3.   Time will elapse from the beginning of the situation to its end. How I choose to spend my time in-between is entirely up to me. I can choose to have a bad time with it and let doubt, fear and constant worry overrule my existence and be move by appearances. OR- I can choose to keep positive, remain unmoved by appearances, and decide that I will attract the right result meant for me. Even if I do not end up with the result I want and think is right for me, there may be a better result for me.

 

4.   I choose to keep a faith in what is right for me. When we become over pushy with a desire, we let that desire overrule our emotions and thoughts and may be interrupting the “what’s right” for us to find its way to us.

  

5.   Give thanks for the right situation to come to fruition.

6.   Being unmoved by appearances is the best advice I can take or ever give. I used to be entirely moved by appearances and become terribly upset and revel in it, endlessly sometimes it seemed. Nowadays I just have a faith in the infinite good knowing it will always find me. It may not always come to me exactly the way I wanted it or thought I wanted it- but it always ends up being what I needed or even better than the thing I wanted.  Now when appearances are adverse- I smile instead of cry- knowing that my endless good is always on its way.
