Thought systems

Do you know why human beings are unhappy. They simply cannot see that what is right for them is what is happy for them. VH

Curious, I never realized how many times “Adamic” was used by various people in my blog until I searched for it _ http://pvrguymale.blogspot.ca/search?q=adamic _. Adamic always refers to the EGO thought system.

Without realizing it, your false identities were created and nurtured, and that has been the world, your world as you understand it to be. These unquestioned, judgmental, apparently unsafe worlds within are projected outward and can be very frightening, very stressful, and are the goblins that keep you from waking up from the dream.

The biggest of our blocks and the one that hides the deepest is our fear of God (Love). While it’s the last of the obstacles to peace, it can and should be exhumed as soon as possible. Nouk Sanchez

Entertain a Brotherly Affection and Love for one Another

I now make it my earnest prayer that God would have you, and the State over which you preside, in his holy protection; that he would incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government, to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another, for their fellow-citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for brethren who have served in the field; and finally that he would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation.

Father Forgive ~ Coventry Litany of Reconciliation

What are our own needs for personal reconciliation – not only with God but with one another?

As we come to look at reconciliation, we see that it is all to do with forgiveness. Forgiveness is the most important thing in life, since it is the only thing that can prevent the pain of the past from determining our future. So, whilst we look at each aspect of the Litany[1], remember that, in the end, forgiveness is the key to unlocking the most complex of situations.

The "Vicar of Baghdad"

TheReverend Canon Andrew White HonPhD (born 1964) is vicar of St George's Church, Baghdad, the only Anglican church in Iraq. He has thus been dubbed the "Vicar of Baghdad". He is also President of the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East

DIVINE ONEship, SONship.

‘The truth, once announced, has the power not only to renew but to extend itself. New Thought is universal in its ideals and therefore should be universal in its appeal. Under the guidance of the spirit, it should grow in good works until itembraces many lands and eventually the whole world.’ - James A Edgerton on New Thought Day, 23 August 1915.

‘If there is only one Law, one Power, one Good, Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent all-loving Father, then we shall step into the new day, and so a New Era Is Born.’– Grace M Aguilar.

What is „New Thought‟?A system of thought which affirms the unity of God with man, the perfection of all life, and the immortality and eternity of the individual soul forever expanding.- Dr Ernest Holmes.

  Yet Still More Limiting Beliefs (from Colin Tipping)

Oneness

"Acceptance by God, Truth, Reality simply means to see the absence of separation in the first place." VH

There is nothing permanent within you that exists independent of changing circumstances. And because that is the case, it is literally impossible for you to find any kind of lasting security or enjoyment in life. Guy Finley

In the awareness of Oneness it is easy to manifest whatever is necessary for the highest and best expression of Love to unfold in your life. – Jennifer Hadley

We are all ONE!

It occurred to me on the way home that here in Canada we have a great forgiveness opportunity. One of our provinces is Quebec which is mainly french speaking. They have a political party called the Parti Quebecois, whose focus in the past has been primarily on separating from the rest of Canada. Now Quebec is in the news proposing to restrict religious symbols from being worn such as turbans.

ACIM teaches “We are all one”. In his later years Muhammad had Christians, Jews and Muslims living in harmony seeing each other as a brother rather than along religious or tribal lines. And the New Testament has similar teachings.

A culture here in Canada steeped in separation. Awesome.

What this afforded me was the opportunity to use Colin Tipping’s Radical Transformation process against World events.

Is it possible for the “right” parts within us to prevail?

A flower is just a flower until you receive its beauty. You can walk by and not notice it, or you can drink in the beauty of the flower and become blessed by it. Feeling and expressing gratitude is the way to become receptive to the blessings around us. Gratitude trains us to look through the lens of Spirit. Without gratitude our vision is distorted. Everything we desire lives in Spirit, and we are one with Spirit. At the moment of this realization our prosperity is permanent. Spirit is always present in your life, it is when you acknowledge its presence that you are most blessed by Spirit.

An inner world of shadows.

Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.

Who, for us men for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/nicene.htm

ONE of the high spiritual moments which have enriched my life came the day I read this book at one sitting. It was a moving and unforgettable experience in which I had the feeling of actually being in the presence of Jesus. It produced a strange compelling identification with the sights, sounds and atmosphere of those times and the Lord's presence was profoundly realistic. When I finished the book I came back to present reality with a start. This effect was created by the fact that here we have every recorded word spoken by Jesus and in the sequence in which he uttered them.

I AM whole, innocent and complete.

A small child toddling across the room is distracted by a bit of colored paper or by his own shoes.  The mind must concentrate its energies on the valuable journey, not on trivial distractions. VH

All that is needful is to train our minds to overlook all little senseless aims, and to remember that our goal is God. His memory is hidden in our minds, obscured but by our pointless little goals which offer nothing, and do not exist. God is our only goal, our only Love. We have no aim but to remember Him. Lesson 258

Muhammad:  Legacy of a Prophet http://www.pbs.org/muhammad/index.shtml

There was a powerful message in the last hour of this video. That a peaceful solution is a victory over the transgressor. And that is still very much applicable today.  Agression is always primitive in nature versus a spiritual perspective.

A choice of war versus peace.

Set your EGO aside.

You understand nature well. You are quick and accurate in all things except your friendships. You are able to be wise in these also by holding this af­firmation: "I am governed by the law of the Good and cannot fear sin or evil." ECH

Grant Mullen has a neat blog I had been deceived by a lie! ... for 6 years.

Morty Lefkoe would call the lies “Beliefs”.

FROM ACIM Mentor: There are two lies that people commonly perpetrate against themselves on a spiritual path that are huge obstacles to peace. One is thinking that “belief” is all that is required. But “belief” is only a decision to intellectually accept something as true whether or not you have experienced it as true. Isn't that what Morty Lefkoe says too?

It’s just about the Truth of what we are.

When you feel empty or that your life lacks meaning, you must know that this is simply a state of mind you can move through. It is not permanent. You always have the option to replenish yourself back to fullness. http://www.receiveyourlife.com

Serve God by learning to walk with God.

Guy Finley: By starting your life over in any moment of self-defeat -- by not borrowing your life from a negative reaction -- you let that dark feeling... [continued]

We are here to become great men and women, and with that purpose in view, we must eliminate everything in our religion and philosophy that tends to make the human mind a dependent weakling. If you would serve God and be truly religious, do not kneel before God, but learn to walk with God, and do something tangible every day to increase the happiness of mankind. This is religion that is worth while, and it is such religion alone that can please the Infinite. --p. 184-5 Your Forces and How to Use Them, by Christian D. Larson, [1912]

If you could have, you would have.

New Thought

When we appreciate the beautiful in anything, we awaken our minds to a higher and better understanding of the beautiful. Our minds thus become, in a measure, more beautiful. The same is true with regard to any quality. Whatever we appreciate, we tend to develop in ourselves, and here we find a remarkable aid to the power of concentration, because we always concentrate attention perfectly, naturally and thoroughly upon those things that we fully appreciate. Thus we understand why it is that we tend to develop in ourselves the things that we admire in others.

TGIF!

Beliefs, Power, Judgment and Consequences all stem from our consciousness. We create them .

ACIM reminds us that conflicting thoughts are what prevent us from our goals. Are YOU congruent in your self-talk or inner dialogue and thoughts?

THERE IS NO ‘OUT THERE’ OUT THERE!

This week I heard someone on the internet mention Ascended Masters and reacted to it. I used the tools from Busting Loose to reclaim my power over it. 

Who am I, really? What world do I belong to?

The nature of the soul is to see truth of our individuality and to discover the sense of belonging that comes from unity. ~ Gemma Stone

"Recall unhappy events in your life, then remember that a new self will prevent their repetition." ~ Vernon Howard

The more criticism, the more lack and limitation YOU experience.
The more appreciation, the more abundance YOU experience.

Gratitude multiplies the good!

Being in the flow is yummy and fulfilling. God has not changed, life has not changed. I AM in the flow when I AM working for the good of all, when I AM seeing all as one. In Truth there’s nothing to resist so I AM is giving up my resistance.  (The flow of the Infinite Current as Prentice Mulford called it)

Self-Talk Creates Reality

We are told that God created the universe by speaking it into existence. "We call out not out loud, but by an inner effort of intense attention: to listen attentively, as though you heard, is to create."
Neville Goddard 1955

TEXT

Solving The One Problem

The healer's prayer is: Let me know this brother as I know myself.

'Your nature is your future. The simplest of logic reveals that your nature must repeat itself tomorrow. The one way to change your future is to change your nature. But you must really change it, and not merely imagine that you are different.' VH

Dear God,

‘Who am I?’

"We are here now, fresh and new because you don't have to be anything else but that. So be what you can be, which is very quiet, non-argumentative, receptive, human being who needs far more than you have ever found so far. What I’m asking you to do, is to start to take care of yourself and to take care of yourself with a new meaning of that phrase. To take care of yourself in a way that dismisses things rather than acquires them. But you find that hard to do because you associate dismissal with the loss of yourself. You will learn here and you must learn by yourself in your daily work that spiritual growth is nothing really but a process of loss of everything that you should lose fast and as furious as you can." VH

The only way we can be released from any painful sense of false responsibility is to see that it is based in a false belief. To see through the false belief is to be released from the weight of... [continued] GF

The Goal of Peace

"Truth itself is the only unifying factor on earth. We are separated from love with others to the same degree that we are separated from Reality. We are in communion with others to the same degree as our closeness to Reality." VH

"You have great self-control and do not need to attempt to control others for your example is enough. Bear this truth in mind: "The Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase." ECH

When we take the time to listen to Spirit, possibilities open up that we couldn't see before. Instead of thinking that we've got to "make" things happen or that the world rests on our shoulders, we can allow the wind of Spirit to move us beyond our limited perspective.

“THIS IS IT!”

"I have the God-given power to make up, to create in my mind whatever good I desire."

~ Rev. Ike

He who does not find

The way of Meditation cannot reach

Emancipation and enlightenment.

But thou wilt find the way of Holy Thought;

With mind made calm and steadfast, thou will see

The Permanent amid the mutable,
The Truth eternal in the things that change:
Thou wilt behold the Perfect Law: Cosmos
From Chaos rises when the conquered self
Lies underneath man’s heel: Love be thy strength;
Look on the passion-tortured multitudes,
And have compassion on them; know their pain
By thy long sorrow ended. Thou wilt come
To perfect peace, and so wilt bless the world,
Leading unto the High and Holy Way
The feet of them that seek.—And now I go
To my Abode; go thou unto thy work.
James Allen
