Becoming A Selective Sifter of Information

Good Day Everyone,

Today is part 2 in becoming the master of your own reality. Today we're going to talk about becoming a selective sifter of all the information that comes your way.

How do you know what to pay attention to and what to let fall through the sifter. Good question and very good to master.

First of all, the most important thing is to be tuned in to your internal guidance system. This is otherwise experienced by you as your gut. When you are taking in information from any source, friend, family, CNN, the newspaper, your IGS will be monitoring it for its relevance to you. Specifically, it will be monitoring your focus for things that are for your GOOD. That is its job. It is constantly telling you by how you feel if what you are focused on is on the path for your GOOD.

This is because your IGS is your Godchip and is always in Well Being and living out the results of your desires - It is actually enjoying your dreams already. So there's your IGS skipity doo dahing in your dreams and fantasies, having a really GOOD time.

Now, let's say say your fantasy dream is that you want to be wealthy, prosperous, and financial stable. Your IGS is already experiencing the FEELING of that success, your very dream come true. You, however, are glued to the financial news on CNN watching the Dow plummet, you're reading everything you can about the banks failures and who's to blame. You FEEL your stomach turn sour, your neck is tight, a migraine is coming on. Those FEELINGS are your IGS NOT joining you in those thoughts. In other words, you are feeling the pain of that gap between your human mind focus/thoughts and your Godchip, which is in complete and utter fulfillment of your desire. That gap, the absence of GOOD (your Godchip), does not feel good to you.

Now, let's say you have that same desire for wealth, prosperity, and financial stability. You now focus yourself on stories of people that have achieved financial prosperity, their methods and strategies, or you simply imagine how wonderful it would feel to be there. The longer your focus is on the success of what you are desiring, the better you feel. New ideas join these thoughts, as you feel that success more and more. That you feel GOOD is telling you that you are closing that gap between your human mind and your Godchip who is living that success and its fulfillment.

Ok. Now it's every day life, you're going about your day and you have the radio on. The news comes on and it's about some doom story. What do you do? You change the channel. You find something that feels GOOD to you. Try on some up beat music and sing along or find a talk show that FEELS good to you, or better still, turn it off and CHOOSE some thought that raise your vibration.

Now let's say you've paid for a seminar and the lecturer goes off on a tangent describing to you all manner of traumatic failures, because these people just didn't follow his advice. What do you do? You have several choices: 1.) you can go to the bathroom and come back when he starts talking about positive stuff; 2.) you can tune out, write a letter to your sweetheart and tune back in when he gets to the GOOD stuff; 3.) you can listen and simultaneously edit saying things to yourself like, "This is only true for someone who places his authority in you, buddy, not me. I know about the Law of Attraction and I know that I control my vibration."

In absolutely everything in every minute of your day you have to be aware of how you are feeling. If someone in the break room is talking about how miserable he/she is or how sick someone is, or whatever misery is being hashed out, you get to LEAVE. You have the freedom, the right and the responsibility to change your mind and not be available for vibrations that do not FEEL GOOD to you.

It is very simple: garbage in yields garbage out. You don't have to voice anything to anybody; that is not your job. Your job is your vibration and your control is over your focus. Have some standard comments ready such as, "You know what, I just remembered, I have to make a call. If you'll excuse me." Or "I'll be back...." The point is you have made a choice FOR yourself, not against them, so you have no judgment about what they are talking about, all you know is, it's not for you.

My personal favorite, "Gotta Go!"

These are dramatic times that offer the perfect opportunity to become a very selective sifter of the data that comes in to you. These times are perfect for becoming the master of your focus and teaching yourself that you are, indeed, in complete control of how you FEEL. Master this, and you've pretty much mastered your life.

Next week we'll talk about what to focus on.

Remember, apply, apply, apply. It doesn't work if you don't use it.

Thanks for reading!

8 Steps to Changing Your Focus

Good Morning Everyone,

We're going to work on deliberate focus today and perhaps for a few weeks to come.

I know, the news is really competing for your focus and attention, big time. You almost can't avoid it, unless you put yourself into a cave. But we're not advocating that. What we're going to be doing over the next few weeks is showing you how to be the one to choose your own focus and therefore your own vibration and how to be a selective sifter of the information that you are viewing. We're NOT going to let the time and tides dictate your vibration. You get to choose.

This is going to take application and practice on your part for it to be effective in your life. The point of this, is to feel good, keep feeling good and optimistic, and to keep moving forward in the goals and projects you have in process and or to help you choose your new direction and focus and stay consistently and deliberately focused on what you choose.

So let's get started.

Let's begin with the headlines of any news media. Today for example, on Yahoo, it is all about the
Dow. And they give you just enough information to set your teeth on edge. Thanks, right?

Ok. What can you do with that information? Here's what I recommend:

1. You can simply bless the information. A sort of "thanks for sharing" type of thing. This is not getting yourself involved in it or reading any further; yet it probably still rankles and causes you some level of concern. You feel some dis-ease. What we want to do is change that dis-ease, into something that feels better to you right then and there.

2. So you feel that knot in your stomach and acknowledge it as fear. You might say to yourself, "This is scary." "I'm worried." or anything similar. What is important is to truly feel that feeling and acknowledge it. "Yep, I'm scared about this economic thing. I'm worried about what this could mean for my family, my job, etc." Be specific. Be clear. Be Truthful with yourself.

3. Now. Breathe deeply. Do it again. Breathe deeply. Again, if you need to to calm, even a tad.

4. Now you're going to reach for some better feeling thoughts about this. You might say things like, "In the past, things have gone up and down, and they always work out." or "There are lots of ways for money to come to me, my job is only one way, out of an infinite number of ways."
or "Isn't this interesting. I'm wondering if now just might be the time for me to follow that hunch I had the other day with respect to..." or "I know that my good is at play." You keep reaching for thoughts that ease that knot in your stomach. When you find it, and you can viscerally and literally feel the ease and relief, you've just changed your vibration on that subject.

5. Now you stabilize yourself there. Breathe in deeply. Relax into the new, better feeling place.

6. Now count your blessings. Let's tally up all the "haves" in your life. And I mean ALL of your "haves". You have your health, you have access to Internet, you have .....and keep on going. Do this every single day without repeating anything twice.

7. Now feeling better, choose deliberately to turn your focus of attention - your nuclear Source Energy - to what feels correct and right and fun for you to proceed with today, and give it your Full Focus. Is it your new book? Is it a new customer? You know where your good is, so follow it. Don't be tempted to look at the ick. It has nothing to do with you, unless you make it so.

8. Don't look back. Remember the story of Lot's wife who was turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back? Well, don't do it. Keep looking forward and upward. Keep working on that thought until it has become really positive and you have no fear about the subject of this economic turmoil.

These are the times when we are challenged to NOT look at all the icky stuff, but rather keep our eyes focused on what we desire to create, not what is. This is applied spirituality in action.

Next blog...being a selective sifter.

Thanks for reading!

Happiness Weight Lifting

Greetings Everyone!

This morning on Yahoo News it is reported that consumer confidence levels have dropped to 59% an all time low. So, as doom and gloom are reported in the news, the question is: are you going to let this affect you?

I hope I'm hearing a resounding, "NOT ME!" (Are you reading this Wall Street? Mortgage Lending?)

You see, this is where the rubber meets the road. You have free will, and that translates into choosing for yourself where you will focus your attention, therefore your energy. You can buy into "their reality" or create your own.

No, this is not pie in the sky, this is fact. And finally today, also on Yahoo News, there is scientific evidence. (see link:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/02/030204074125.htm).

Dr. Richard Davidson, PhD from Harvard and Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin has released results of a study that proves that when you meditate for even a few minutes a day you produce lasting changes in your brain (your physiology). It's like weight lifting for the mind/psyche/soul.

News flash: this is how you change your experience of life. You choose.

Imagine if you spent just 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening in contemplation of joy, or perfect health, or love, or gratitude....over time you change your vibrational countenance to attract more of the same. And gradually, folks, life improves. You start feeling better, the quality of your meetings increases, the level of joy found in a moment goes up. "Magic" starts to happen.

Want to enhance that meditation time? Write out on a neon colored 3x5 card your intention for the day: for example, "I intend to notice the little happy things everywhere today." Put that card on your bathroom mirror. Make another for your wallet. Still another on your desktop.
Now you're APPLYING YOUR SPIRITUALITY, YOUR ENERGY FORCE, YOUR FOCUS to
changing your own reality.

Bill Wier of ABC News reported this story and concluded that all happiness is "social". That is to say, you can only find happiness in relationship to another individual. I disagree. Go outside and notice the nature around you. Find the amazement in the snow, the sun came up, the huge earthworms in the soil, the amazing night sky, your cat, your dog, the colors in a rock......

This is becoming a master of focus and knowing that what you intend to see and experience is what you will ultimately see and experience.

This is applied spirituality. The core of you is God: joy, perfection, goodness, abundance, well, in short - fulfilled, complete and replete.

You want to make a profound change in your life in 2008? Here's the assignment:

Be quiet for at least 10 minutes am and pm. Take mini quiet breaks throughout the day. My suggestion is you have to go to the bathroom, sit there and be still for 5 minutes. Breathe. Find a peaceful thought. Then resume your day.

Make those 3x5 cards for your own intentions. And apply them. It's a change, and it takes practice. I use the cards because it reminds me that I'm thinking something different today. This, I choose, is where I am going.....inside.

The change has to happen inside you first, and then, by the Universal Laws of Attraction, which is physics, those changes are reflected in your daily encounters in life.

Have a particular nasty thought that keeps possessing you? OK. Who doesn't?

Make another 3x5 card that has alternate thoughts on it. A thought that feels just a wee bit better than that nasty one. Just a bit, something you can "believe". Have that card ready when that nasty shows up. Look at the card, remind yourself of the better thought. Sit with it awhile, breathe it in. Next day, make a new wee bit better thought, and use that one. Continue with this method until you've turned a nasty thought into a good one.

It's all up to you.

Now, if you thought we were all nuts thinking this positive stuff, you naysayers can read the scientific study for yourself.

Turn off the news. Turn off the talk radio. Practice happiness weightlifting until you feel you can listen to anything out there and be a "selective sifter", which is to say it will not take you off your center.

It takes awhile. Be merciful to yourself. Keep trying. Your intention to change your outlook, and therefore your biology is like the scope on a gun; where you point it is where the bullet will land its bulls eye. Take aim. Aim high, aim happy, aim well. It's all possible. It becomes probably when you practice your happiness weightlifting.

Thanks for reading!

Human Mind vs Godmind

Good day Everyone!

In the course of a day, how many times do you think that there is a vast difference between what human mind perceives and what Godmind is?

We have been taught everything in human mind. We have been socialized, educated, homogenized.
That's why people in different regions of the planet think about things differently. We are schooled to think like our fellows, which, of course, gives rise to the many prejudices that abound.

But if in the course of life one could pause and perhaps wonder at all what Godmind thinks about this or that particular issue, then there would ensue a giant blank, a pause a quiet.

The idea of being here and growing one's soul or consciousness is to elevate it to that of Godmind. To see the highest perspective possible. That pure, high, fast frequency of love.
God includes, never excludes. It is, after all, all God. What is created outside of God is human mind. Human mind considers that there is something lacking, wrong, broken, sick, in need of.
In Godmind, there is All, the fullness thereof.

Within each and every person on the planet is that equal measure of God. That which is equal in everyone, our God-chip. That which animates and enlivens each of us. That which is the full potential of each of us. It delights in our diversity of thought. It enjoys that some like to ride horses, have sheep races, paint, poet, blast a trombone, dig in the garden, gather antiquities.
It LOVES to love. It loves to create, anything, everything.

It is for us to spiritualize the human mind, which is to say make it unafraid. The act of intending this, sitting in the quiet and allowing It to unfold within us, this is applied spirituality. Humans think of things in black and white, either/or. Godmind is AND, all inclusive with no fear.

What might this world look like if everyone knew his own sovereignty about what comes in and goes forth from his "unit". What might it all look like if we understood this law. Fear Not we are told. Then why do we doubt this? Why do we choose to believe some thing and toss others? Applied Spirituality is knowing your Oneness and in that there is no fear, no doubt, no other.

Sit, be still and receive. We are so busy "sending" or praying we never shut up long enough to hear that still small voice uttering its assurances. We are One with It, with each other. We have absolute voice in what we experience. Wouldn't you like to understand how your "unit" operates and become a black belt at your own unit? Life is skippity do dah in connection with It, in Oneness. That is everyone's sole work, no other. From there is a vista you cannot image with your human mind.

Practice. Persist. Apply. Show up for your quiet Oneness daily and just listen and receive.
