"I
meet no one but me", is a puzzling statement. It's a mystic statement but it will have
many practical applications. Everyone
you meet is an outward reflection of something in your life that you need to
deal with. And here’s the bitter pill: Whenever something or someone outside of
yourself needs changing, you must go to yourself to make the change within
yourself! "Everybody
may not be ready for this eye-opening lesson, but once you understand it you
will have the key to managing people and controlling conditions in your
life." Rev.
Ike
"Get excited about the fact that God is in you, if you want to experience the sweetness of life, you have to let your
attitude toward life be,"HOW SWEET IT IS!" Rev.
Ike
"Every time
you find yourself being cross or disagreeable or starting to complain about how
the world is treating you, stop and say, ‘I am filled with the joy of the
Lord.' Immediately substitute positive thoughts for negative thoughts. The
substituting of good thoughts for bad thoughts is the magic formula by which
the bad is eliminated and the good created.” Clara Berenger
"Mental pain can be turned into insight. That
insight then ends the pain. At the first appearance of pain you must stand
aside to simply watch it flow through you. The very watching is a type of
detachment which weakens the pain's mechanical flow. You understand a raging
flood by observing it from the riverbank, not by letting it carry you away.
Experiment with this." VH
Be strong, and of good courage. Your lot is not
unfortunate, but on the contrary, is your best training ground; so be brave and
fearless. This is your text to live by: "Yea
the Almighty shall be thy defense, and thou shalt have plenty of silver." ECH
"The state of the Supermind cannot
be described with words; it must be experienced by the individual seeker. It is
best explained by what it is not. It is definitely not the conditioned mind.
The Supermind is free of all negative conditioning. It has no fear, no painful
cravings, no doubts. It knows everything needed to be known for a successful
life and it is happy. The conditioned mind is that part of us which has been
influenced and molded since birth. It is an acquired mass of opinions, beliefs,
contradictions, and mechanical reactions, all of which get us into
trouble." VH
Every movement of yours tells of energy needing to be
expressed by perfect thoughts. Therefore, learn what is absolutely true. Then
your thoughts will fall all about the people near you like rains of
refreshment. Keep this truth night and day: "My kindness shall not
depart from thee." ECH
False
desires are what we pursue to be acknowledged or to gain approval. They keep us
chasing our tails because they are not based on the truth of what we are. They
are incapable of bringing us any lasting satisfaction or fulfillment.
We all have
desires. For example, you may have the desire to write a book or build a
business. Is it a false desire or a true desire? No one can answer that
question but you. False desires are what you pursue when you are trying to
overcome the belief that you're not "enough." You'll find yourself
working harder to do more, be more, and have more -- all the while trying to
fill something within you that you perceive is missing.
When you're
following your true desires, it's not only about reaching a goal or achieving
an end result. You love the process. You feel your oneness with Spirit
and lose the sense of a separate self. When you take the time to quiet your
mind and listen, you become aware of Spirit infusing you with inspiration.
Think of your
three strongest desires.
Did you pick
these desires to satisfy something you believe is missing within yourself? Are
these desires based on the thought of scarcity? Or are these desires that your
higher self want to express through you at this time?
