Abundance

Good Day Everyone!

Everyone has something to say about abundance these days. So, do I.

Abundance is noticing what we do have and staying focused on what feels Well, Full, Lovely, Delightful, Divine, Beautiful, Lovely.

Abundance is not staying fixated on what is wrong or lacking.

Easy for me to say? Yes, it is easy for me to say, but not easy to do in practice. It takes my intention to stay rightly focused. Do I manage it 100% of the time. No, of course not. I keep having to "put the puppy back onto the paper" just like everyone else.

This is becoming the master of your spirit: applying it, focusing it, where you choose to look.

Like everyone else, I have challenges in my life. These challenges are for growing that spiritual muscle. I have to hook up my will and intention and then choose my focus and keep it there.

When we focus on something, we are creating more of it. So, if I am looking at unemployment statistics or health statistics or any other "lackful" data, then I am contributing to that pool of thought energy and creating more of it, if I dwell there.

What I use that data for is this: it doesn't feel good or uplifting, so I know that I am not aligned with Truth. Then I use it launch a new thought. What would make me feel Good or at least, better? I think about people's creativity. I think about their ability to create whatever they desire. I think about how I could create something new. I think about what would feel Good to me to be creating. Then I think about how to go about that. What would I need, what would that take? Then I am desiring it. I am wishing for it. My thoughts go out into the Big U and are answered.

Then, I watch as the evidence starts to come in that I am being answered. A book, a person, a conversation, a way opens up. And what do I do? I NOTICE and rejoice. Ah, Ha! Another piece of the puzzle has arrived. A stepping stone has lit up on the way to my dream. Come this way...and I do. I watch it unfold, because I am expecting it to unfold before me. I think that's what the scripture means when it says, "I go before you to make the crooked places straight." The "I" is my Spirit, my focus, my Energy.

So, you have your work cut out for you, do you not? Change your view. Look elsewhere. Look UP. And stay focused on what you do want.

I will keep thee in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Me.....All Good...Abundance

Stay focused!

Focus

Hello Everyone,

Today I want to continue my discussion on focus. When you consider what you are doing when you actively bring to bear your attention to something, you are really focusing the energy of your spirit, that Godchip, the energy that creates universes on something here in the physical.

In this world we have free will. This is to say that our ultimate freedom is that we get to choose upon what we will bring this Source energy to bear. If you stop just a moment and consider, we can really only focus on one thing at a time, pretty much. All talk about multi-tasking to the contrary. When we multi task, we are diluting the power of that focused energy.

I can speak to this with great authority, as I am sure almost every other westernized human can as well. We have come to such a place in our human thinking, that it is "uncool" to not be busier than a one-armed paperhanger. So let me be the first to say that this is insanity. But what this idea of multi-tasking really speaks to is our mistrust of Source and our resulting need to control everything around us, exterior to us. This is a great lie of human thinking.

We are a giant spirit. If you will imagine an iceberg sitting in the ocean. Some 96% or more of it is unseen, underwater. If you will now imagine turning that iceberg upside down. In this view the "tip" of the iceberg at the bottom is now you, walking around on planet earth, the 4% that's visible. The rest of "YOU" is your Godchip connected to the infinite. Everything you need to know is accessible to you. Countless times throughout the day, you are nudged to do something, stop, go, breathe, yawn, cough, hiccup, sigh, turn left, etc. This is the "YOU" of you guiding you, intuitively. I often think that when we get to the other side and look back on the road map of the life we've just lived, we'll see a billion places where we "missed" disaster, because we were always being guided towards our Good. I also think we'll see a lot of diseases that we contracted and healed, never knowing that we had ever been sick. But I don't want to stray from the topic of focus here.

We think (humanly) that we have to stay focused on everything or it will all go to hell in a handbasket, so we don't focus our full attention on those things that really matter to us: play time with the kids, a conversation with a friend, the book you want to write, the new business you want to start. Everything gets mediocre attention, therefore everything gets mediocre results.

We focus every time we have a thought. Have you ever considered that when you're thinking about something, you're not thinking about anything else? Just consider that for a second so that you realize the truth of that statement. If I'm blathering on about politics, I'm not focusing my Source energy on my book, but rather on the topic of politics. So now, what I am doing is building that body of thought form, not my own. I have essentially become part and parcel of the problem, if I am complaining about the problem. I am helping to make that body of thought bigger and stronger. Now I chose to speak about that topic with my buddy in a negative way. Not only have I helped make the problem "bigger" by adding my Creative Energy to that thought form, but worse, I have not done one thing to create what I love.

In our free will we can choose anything to create. Anything. Source is indifferent. You want to create more crap, focus on crap. Now you're vibrational countenance is equal to crap making, and you get more of it. It gets bigger and bigger, until it manifests in your own experience. It doesn't matter, the Law of Attraction works whether you're understanding the power of your focus, or not. Turning your attention to anything, adds "matter" to it and brings it closer to your own experience.

To me, the sad part of this is that what you truly want to create is left untouched, undone, unfinished.

The distractions in this world are legion, to be sure. Some are pleasing to you, which can be beneficial and fun, some are not and only serve to drag you down in your vibration. The trick is to be very, very selective of where you CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE to focus your Energy. If you truly understand that this is the same Energy that creates worlds, you start to understand that it is like aiming a nuclear device at something. It's power, potent and certain that you will create what you are "aiming" at.

There is an elegance in Source Energy. I like to think of it as Just In Time. It is based on your vibrational countenance that contains the blueprint of you on earth and your intentions for this adventure here. Say for example you have a deep intention for fun, safety, joy, uplifting others, good health, etc. You can and should certainly get consciously clear about what you intend for your life. Your intention is powerful, like the scope on a rife. What you intend is what you are aiming at. With these intentions buried in your vibrational countenance, Law of Attraction will match. You intend to pay your bills on time; you will receive an internal "nudge" or "prompt" in
just enough time to do so; perhaps a friend will say, "I've gotta pay bills today." and you are reminded. Every aspect of you is recorded and being answered by YOU. What you have to do is learn to trust that, and relax in IT.

Once done, now you can chill out and place your full focus on that book, that new business and bring the full power of YOU to bear on that project. You will be astounded as the speed and clarity with which you accomplish what you desire, the people that come "out of nowhere" to assist, the "perfect" connection or stepping stone.

This is an elegant Universe and you are an integral part of it. You can experience that elegance in your own life if you allow It. Every tiny vibration of you is recorded and noted and being answered. And you direct it all by the power of your free will to CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE what you WILL focus your Source Energy upon.

So, where are we in all this? One thing at a time. My Dad always taught me, "How do you eat an elephant?" he asks me. My answer is always the same, "One bite at a time." And that my friends is the wisest thing anyone could teach anyone. The power of clear, undivided focus one subject at a time.

And I'll throw this added one in as a corollary to the elephant. When I would be upset by someone or something as a child and complain to my Gram, she would say, "Pay no mind."
Translation: don't focus on it.

Lucky girl, me to have such wise beings guiding me in my youth.

Play with it, and prove to yourself. Focus, shift, refocus, shift. And never, ever, focus on anything that doesn't feel good to you. EVER. I know this may not sound politically or socially correct, but what the hay, it's your LIFE. You have the choice and free will. If it doesn't feel good to you, well then, get out of the bank. It's not. If it feels good to YOU, then it is.

Think of yourself as a powerful hose of Source Energy and whatever you aim that hose at is going to happen. This is Applied Spirituality.

Doom, Doom, Doom: Had Enough Yet?

Good morning everyone!

The above links are just two items that were in my face this morning as I went to check my e-mail on Yahoo. I didn't go digging for these. There they were headlines. The first talks about how the human race perhaps nearly went extinct 70,000 years ago. The second urges us to stockpile food. Ye gads, shoot me now!

Personally, folks, I've had enough of the fear, the doom and the negative. We have become a downward spiraling thought form. And this, dear reader, will lead us down the drain.

We create what we are experiencing. We create every single bit of it. Like it or not, believe it or not, it is so.

Common sense teaches us that if something hurts, we stop doing it. Does it not?
I mean, if you are sitting on an anthill and they bite your butt, do you not jump up and get off the anthill?

If you touch something hot, don't you pull your hand away immediately? If you are experiencing a painful thought, don't you eventually seek to turn your thoughts to something better and give yourself relief?

So when are we going to be sick to death of the fear mongering in the news and stop listening, stop contributing to the perpetuation of the negative and turn ourselves towards solutions and joy and feeling like the Creators that we are.

I am certain that history will write of this time as the Second Dark Ages. We have been led like a flock of sheep into the negative thinking abyss. And it is a spiral downward with no place to go.
Perhaps this will eventually be felt by the mass of us as "ENOUGH!" and then we will take our hands off the hot burner and look for the salve.

Every moment we spend fearing; every thought spent worrying; every single second spent in lack builds the experience of the same thing. What is more, that is the same amount of time that is NOT spent in joy, not spent in creating something new, and NOT finding a solution, creating something better than what currently is.

Why do we think that there is nothing more coming except bad? What happened to the joy?
What happened to optimism? What happened to Faith? There's is infinite good awaiting, coming, and to be experienced!

There is always more good. In fact, there is an infinite supply of good. But there is also an infinite supply of the bad if that is what we are choosing to call forth.

This is about each of us, individually and therefore collectively, creating everything we truly want or else creating everything we fear to experience. If we are dwelling on what we dread to experience daily, billions of us, then we will definitely have the experience, as we are building it as a thought form and then the actual physical manifestation.

We shift this one person at a time. You. Me. Each one of us refuses to dwell in the darkness. In that moment when you spot the headline, you refuse to buy in. You turn the TV off, and turn your thought and actions to the opposite. We begin thinking of the way we want to experience Life. We envision the green, lush planet. Nourishing rains, fertile fields, and bountiful crops of lovely organic foods. And from this place of vision, we act.

We appreciate this day what is so perfectly in harmony: the sun has come up, the spring has arrived, the birds and bees are active and happy. We see what is so good already and start pulling more and more on that thread. Look around you, see past the appearances of doom, and dare yourself to appreciate what is so fine, so good, so wonderful. Now build your thoughts from THAT platform and take your actions in that direction.

This is not just a daily practice, but a moment to moment practice. Putting the puppy back on the paper, I call it. "I will keep thee in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Me." Me is Goodness, the Infinite Supply, the Universal Good.

We get to choose where we place our focus. We are absolutely sovereign in this, for no one can interfere with our personal FREE WILL to choose where to place our powerful focus. Where we are placing our focus is where we will manifest.

Think carefully. Choose wisely. Like it or not, you are the Creator of your own experience, AND you are a collective co-Creator with the rest of us. Buy in to the lack and fear - or - NOT. Clearly your choice. I can hear you saying, "But they know. You can't ignore the FACTS!"

My answer to you is this: Why not? What useful purpose does it serve for me to get depressed or turn my thoughts to the dark? I can't get sad enough to help you over your sadness. I can't get poor enough to help you become wealthy. I can't get depressed enough to help you out of your doom.

Wake UP People! "THEY" don't know any more than you do. In fact, they may know less; all they have is the press, the media. But we have FREE WILL. We can turn the tide of anything when we finally realize how powerful we are in our sovereignty to individually choose what and where we choose to place our focus...our spirit...our Godchip.

It's up to You. How much more pain do you want before you choose to create the joy? Take you hand off the bloody stove for Goodness sake.

The Free Willies

Good Day!

For the past six years I have worked part time for the public library system. Really up until then I'd not been a big user of the library. I think it was because as a child I really didn't enjoy reading. Now that they have talking books, I've become a voracious "reader". I listen to books in the car, while gardening, cooking, and my favorite time, as I'm drifting off to sleep. I think I love this best because it reminds me of when my Gram used to tell us her stories. Boy, could she make up some whoppers. I, of course, believed every word.

Libraries are amazing places because it is where the example of REAL freedom LIVES. Period.

Did you know that libraries protect your right to read whatever you desire and your privacy to do so? Did you know that your library protects your right to choose any book you want to read by allowing it to be there? Did you know that if there's a particular title you would like your library to have in it's collection, they will acquire it? (Budget permitting, of course. But you can always donate it.)

I love that on the shelves in the non-fiction sections, books of all manner of ideas and ideologies sit side-by-side. I never see them taking a swipe at each other, either just because they have opposing view points. It is the perfect example of allowing. It is the perfect example of freedom.

America is the place where every idea and ideology is allowed, even welcomed. Even the ones you don't like or don't agree with. It is the place of the buffet of thought. The freedom we are guaranteed is the freedom of choice. So you can go into the library and cruise the stacks and see what interests you or see what interests others. The point is that you get to choose, because the choice is there.We get to choose to explore something new, something strange, something weird, something exhilarating, something boring, something old....But the point is, WE GET TO CHOOSE BECAUSE THE CHOICE IS AVAILABLE.

What an undertaking the founding fathers passed on to us. The undertaking to be the guardians of allowing all thoughts to exist for our choice.

It seems to imply to me that they believed so completely in the wisdom and goodness of a soul, that there is no danger in allowing such choice amongst infinite variety of options. Let all choice be available. Think about it!

The essence of freedom is the freedom to choose what we will focus on. We can, for example, choose to focus on the negative. It is wholly up to each one where they will focus, is it not? Or we can choose to focus on something positive. So the question is wholly sovereign to each individual. It is the collection of these individual choices at any given moment that create a life and its quality. The fork in the road is every moment.

The news has large sway in our society. Televisions are turned to News. The radios to Talk Radio. The Internet to...what's your choice?

When my boys were little I recall telling them that they had to be guardians of what went into them. That is to say with respect to food or drink or music or news or television, they had to be "selective sifters" of all stuff. Garbage in, garbage out. What you consumed or gave focus to would come out of you. Your choice.

How is this applied spirituality? Your God-chip, your trueSelf delights when you choose something your love or delight in. You know your Self is "with you"by how it feels to you. Does it make you feel easy, light, good, inspired, delighted, encouraged, well, happy, energetic, alive? Go for it! You're aligned, connected and in tune with You.
IF it doesn't? Turn it off. Change the channel. Change your focus, for yourSelf has left on wings of fun and will not join you in anything without Life in it.

You always get to choose, here in the land where every conceivable idea is welcomed. You have the Free Willies.

What a powerful place and time we live in: a consciousness that allows every idea to abide because we believe we each have the wisdom to choose what is good for ourselves at any given moment. I'd say that's a fearless society. That's America where we acknowledge that everyone has that same God-chip.
