Walk the talk

Sundar Singh was raised a devout Sikh, and consecrated from his youth to become a Hindu sadhu. However, his spiritual longings were not fulfilled until emotional and spiritual turmoil drove him to urgently ask the true living God to reveal Himself fully, lest he take his own life in the hope of finding peace in the next. The outcome was strikingly similar to that described in Acts 9:3-5 of the Bible's New Testament. Thereafter, the born again Sadhu became a living witness of the eternal security, peace and comfort he had freely received.

The Sadhu spoke of his own experience -- the Rest and Peace which he enjoys (Bisram, Santi, Aram). Previously he had no lack of everything which the world could give -- wealth, family etc., but he did not enjoy Peace through them. But in Christ he had found peace (Santi) when he realized his relationship with Him. A doctor friend of the Sadhu's related that a man whose arm was broken through an accident came to him and said, "Doctor, my arm is very painful. Take the pain away for me." The doctor told him that first of all the two broken bones must be set and be knit together; then the swelling and the pain would go away of themselves. In the same way people want peace and they want blessings but they don't want to come into right relationship with God, the Giver of blessing. When we come into this right relationship with Him, our restlessness will go and in its stead we shall have wonderful peace.

Similar to Tomas Vieira's message about "A Course in Miracles". You can study it for 25 years but when are you going to live it.

Transition

It is not wise to cling to those who have gone from the body.

Living with memories isn't fulfilling God's plan for your life. God is life, within you, eagerly seeking unity with other life, yearning to picture forth the health and joy and strength and usefulness that there is in all God life. God is love that must be converted into loving--loving things of the present, those about you, the thoughts and words and works that are adding to the wealth and peace and beauty of the world now.

So bless the past and the old friendships, and turn from them, knowing that they are not the vital issue now. All that another has meant to you has left its imprint upon your soul so that you profit by it daily. And this is all that is of value to you.

Marriage

Commitment
Although it's not always easy,
this is part of loving someone
unconditionally
with all your heart and
with all you have to give!


It's a promise that should last a lifetime.


It
describes you as a person
and
describes the essence of your soul.



It's a promise to be there,
one for the other,
no matter what happens,
no matter who falls.



For better or for worse.


For better
or
for worse.
(Lynn Johnson)

Joseph Murphy in "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" suggests:
It must begin on a sound spiritual balance. It must be of the heart, and the heart is the chalice of love. You don't marry for position or for security. "

Divorce begins in the mind.

Nagging is a cry for attention but pushes the partner away. It also reflects a desire to make the partner conform to a certain way.

Discussing marital problems with family or friends who give the wrong advice.
Degrading or belittling the other in the eyes of anyone else is always a reflection of that persons thoughts and feelings.

Don't remake your partner.

But, of course adjustments are needed.


Pray together, stay together.

Maybe the goal of marriage should be as Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira set for theirs.
To remove the blockages so that we may realize love in and all around us.
Real love.

Decide what's important. Loving now or holding on to the past.

A hug and a kiss from a dog are priceless. Dogs look into your soul.

Lessons from New Thought authors and ACIM

It is not WHO it is WHAT you are that really matters. -- Imelda Octavia Shanklin, Unity

Meaningful seeking is consciously undertaken, consciously organised and consciously directed. The goal must be formulated clearly and kept in mind. Learning and wanting to learn are inseparable. You learn best when you believe what you are trying to learn is of value to you. However, not everything you may want to learn has lasting value. Indeed, many of the things you want to learn may be chosen because their value will not last. (T4,V,5.3-8)

Preoccupations with problems set up to be incapable of solution are favourite ego devices for impeding learning progress. In all these diversionary tactics, however, the one question that is never asked by those who pursue them is, “What for?” This is the question that you must learn to ask in connection with everything. What is the purpose? Whatever it is, it will direct your efforts automatically. When you make a decision of purpose, then, you have made a decision about your future effort; a decision that will remain in effect unless you change your mind. (T4,V,5.6-11)

The truly helpful are God’s miracle workers, whom I direct until we are all united in the joy of the Kingdom. I will direct you to wherever you can be truly helpful, and to whoever can follow my guidance through you. (T4,VII,8.7-8)

Riches within your Reach


Published 1947 by Robert Collier.This is a collection of 4 books."The God in You" (1937),
"The Magic Word" (1940),
"The Secret of Power" (1945) and
"The Law of the Higher Potential" (1947)

He talks of the New Thought philosophy: God, the "I AM", thought vibrations, health, Ask-Believe-Receive, Praise and appreciation, Prayer, Treasure mapping, writing down our desires in the past tense as if they have already happened and being truly grateful.
He even quotes David V. Bush from "Applied Psychology and Scientific Living(1923):
"Man is subject to miscellaneous wrong thought currents if his mind is not in tune with the Infinite. or if he is not keyed up to higher vibrations than those of negation."From the P-R-A-I-S-E chapter:"When I worry, I am not trusting God. When I trust God, I have nothing to worry about".Maybe this is "The REAL Secret".
Which appears on all U.S. currency.
"In God I Trust"

When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
When I walk with you
When I talk with you
Everything will be fine
Will be fine
Ringo Starr

Ask, believing you have already received is the “Law of Attraction”.
Amazing how many websites don't acknowledge his work.
I never watched "The Secret". Couldn't stand the introduction. Too sensational and suggestive. As Tomas Vieira says it's an ego thing. Someone at an NLP course said it appeals to people who are kinenesthetic. Someone else said there was nothing about taking action. The black and white pictures in the back of the book led me to New Thought. And was one of my paths to P.P. Quimby.
