This story was sent to me by a freind..
The Cab Ride
So I walked to the door and knocked. 'Just a minute', answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90's stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940s movie.
By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets.
There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
'Would you carry my bag out to the car?' she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.
She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. 'It's nothing', I told her. 'I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated'. 'Oh you're such a good boy', she said.
When we got in the cab, she gave me an address and then asked, 'Could you drive through downtown?'
'It's not the shortest way,' I answered quickly.
'Oh, I don't mind,' she said. 'I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice'.
I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. 'I don't have any family left,' she continued. 'The doctor says I don't have very long.' I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. 'What route would you like me to take?' I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.
We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 'I'm tired. Let's go now'
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico.
Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They must have been expecting her.
I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.
'How much do I owe you?' she asked, reaching into her purse.
'Nothing,' I said
'You have to make a living,' she answered.
'There are other passengers,' I responded.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.
'You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,' she said.
'Thank you.'
I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.
I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift?
What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?
On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything more important in my life.
We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments.
But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID, ~BUT~THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

More on the Law Of Attraction
.
A Critical piece of the work that we are called to do at this time, is being able to look at our past and our present to understand what brought us to this place and time. In addition we have to understand the dynamics of what we gave away in order to survive.
From Walking Between the Worlds – by Gregg Braden
As you journey through the waking dream of life, pieces of your life may be lost, innocently given away or taken away by those who have power over you. These portions of you are your compromises, exchanged for surviving your experience of life. When you reach a time in your life where you truly choose to love, share and give of yourself, you may find there is nothing left. You discover that you have lost yourself little by little to the very experience that invites you to share. Recognizing the patterns and masks of survival as they play out through you relationships is an accelerated path of choice. Calling back those pieces of you that you hold dear may be your highest expression of Mastery.
End quote
Many times we decide that we are unhappy, and then we begin to look for solutions, or sometimes we see our circumstances as problems we have to solve.
In essence the solution (as described by many prophets) is within us. The greatest struggle we face is accepting this. For once we understand that our problems are not outside of ourselves, but actually within ourselves, we then have the ability to change them. Once we are able to address our internal demons, exorcise them, and maintain our focus on what we truly desire, what was once a problem no longer exists. For as we are able to maintain our focus and create what we want versus thinking about what we have, the law of attraction begins to work.
Unfortunately for most of us this is a slow process, because of that it appears to not be working. So the next challenge that we face, is being able to maintain our focus regardless of what appears around us.
Accepting the responsibility for our own circumstances and creations, and accepting that we have the power to change them, empowers us to move through whatever we currently have or are facing. It only requires that we maintain our focus, hold true to our desires, and have faith in the process.
This is what is meant by this statement –
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.”
When we understand the Law of Attraction, we understand that we possess the power to create and manifest ANYTHING we decide to create or manifest.
The Universal Energy that provides the materials and the manifestation of the Law of attraction makes no judgments, holds no grudges, and works incessantly to grant your desires. It is only your beliefs in the process that limit your abilities to use this power.
I came to realize the potentiality of this enormous power in applying these principles in my own life. I realized that many times when something happened that made me unhappy I invoked with great emotion the powers of Jesus and many of his assistants. Joyfully and powerfully they responded in like kind to my powerful expressions of emotions. Consequently my life continued to be filled with unhappiness. This is what is meant by using the Lord's name in vain! Not so much that I was swearing or misusing the Lord's name, but that I was using the power and energy of calling upon these great helpers when I was angry. Hence I produced what some would say would be negative energy and I definitely produced a lot more of what I did not want. So be aware of how you use and call upon these great helpers, that is it is not in vain, but with intentional use of their assistance.

Stop IT
.
many times we look for complex and complicated solutions to our problems.
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. This is not to say that we do not need to process our difficulties in the correct environment with the correct counselor. So this is in no way intended to replace normal therapy. But there are times when it can be used effectively to resolve certain situations.
In my work with this type of situation, and others like it, I have discovered that many of our difficulties and struggles come from being unable to control our minds. The relentless stream of thoughts mostly about our problems continue to dominate our consciousness.
One of the known keys to connecting to source in order to manifest what we want is to silence our minds.
In order to achieve silence in our minds we have to stop the incessant stream of conscious thought. Trying to process our current situation using our minds we actually become our own detriment. Therefore we need a tool that allows us to control or manage the inflow of unconscious thoughts. This means that we have to be able to stop any thought that does not support what we are attempting to create.
The most powerful and most effective tool I have discovered is the power of now. Consciously bringing your thoughts to "right here right now" disempowers the thoughts that rage in your conscious. In order to gain control of your brain, mind or conscious thought, requires that you repeatedly bring your conscious thought to the "right here right now" moment. All power all energy is "right here right now". You will find you will be unable to do this consistently, because of your brain's training and conditioning. It takes considerable effort and energy to achieve any level of control over your mind. No one else can do this for you, you are the only one that will be able to achieve this for you.
Below is a fun and entertaining skit with Bob Newhart doing a similar process
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYLMTvxOaeE
In essence this is what has to happen, simply stopping your thoughts about your condition and refocusing on what you truly want is the only process that embraces, facilitates and supports the law of manifestation, and the law of attraction!
These laws work with precise exactitude, much like electricity and gravity. For instance if you plug a toaster into an outlet you can make toast, no matter how long you try or how many times you plug it in the toaster will never be able to tune into a radio station. Likewise making toast with your radio can be very frustrating. So you have to plug the correct instruments into the energy source to produce the correct result. The law of attraction works exactly this way! What you plug into it is exactly what you will produce!

A BLANK CHECK WAITING FOR YOU!
I have been practicing this and it works, and in the spirit of giving, this is my gift to you today!
From Rebecca Fine
http://www.scienceofgettingrich.net/
3. FEATURE ARTICLE: A BLANK CHECK WAITING FOR YOU!
Back in the early days of Hollywood, a successful writer of popular detective stories, sci-fi novels and screenplays was also a student of the universal laws we've learned about in The Science of Getting Rich.
Most of Gardner Hunting's works are little known today (even his 1918 movie starring an actor named Harrison Ford!). But just as I am thrilled to share Mr. Wattles' book with you, I'm pleased to offer you today this additional "forgotten wisdom" from the early 20th century. You very well may have a few "aha moments!" ahead of you now --answers to questions SOGR readers ask me all the time.
See what you learn about ...
* The impression of increase
* Being larger than your present place
* Competitive mind
* Giving more in use value than you take in cash value ...
and other essential parts of The Science of Getting Rich.
Enjoy! *****
All my life I have known in a vague way that getting money is usually the result of earning it, but I have never had a perfect vision of that fact till recently: If I give to anybody service of a kind that he wants, I shall get back the benefit myself. If I give more service, I shall get more benefit. If I give a great deal more, I shall get a great deal more. But I shall get back MORE than I give.
If I give more to my employer than he expects of me, he may give me a raise -- and on no other condition. What is more, his giving me a raise does not depend on his fair-mindedness. He has to give it to me or lose me, because if he does not appreciate me somebody else will! But this is only part of it. If I give help to the man whose desk is next to mine, it will come back to me multiplied, even if he is apparently a rival. What I give to him I give to the firm, and the firm will value it, because it is teamwork in the organization that the firm primarily wants, not brilliant individual performance. If I have an enemy in the organization, the same rule holds. If I give him, with the purpose of helping him, something that will genuinely help him, I am giving service to the organization.
Great corporations appreciate the peacemaker, for a prime requisite in their success is harmony among employees. If my immediate boss is unappreciative the same rule holds. If I give him more in advance of appreciation, he cannot ultimately withhold his appreciation and keep his own job. The more you think about this law the deeper you will see it goes. It literally hands you a blank check, signed by the Maker of universal law, and leaves you to fill in the amount and the kind of payment you want! Mediocre successes are those of people who obey this law a little way, who fill in the check with a small amount, but who stop short of big vision in doing it. If every employee would only get the idea of this law firmly fixed in his mind as a principle not subject to wavering with fluctuating moods, the success of the organization would be miraculous.
One of my fears is apt to be that by promoting the other fellow's success, I am sidetracking my own, but the exact opposite is true. Suppose every employee would look at his own case as an exact parallel to that of his firm. What does his firm give for the money it gets from the public? Service! Service in advance! The better the service that is given out, the more is the money that comes back. What does the firm do to bring public attention to its service? It advertises -- that is part of the service.
Now, suppose that I, as an employee, begin giving my services to the firm in advance of all hoped-for payment. I cannot do anything constructive in that firm's office or store or plant or premises that is NOT service -- from filing a letter correctly to mending the fence or pleasing a customer ... from looking up a word for the stenographer to encouraging her to look it up herself ... from demonstrating a machine to a customer to encouraging him to demonstrate it himself ... from helping my immediate apparent rival to get a raise to selling the whole season's output. As for advertising myself, I begin advertising myself the moment I walk into the office or the store or the shop in the morning --I cannot help it. Everybody who looks at me sees my advertisement. Everybody around me has my advertisement before his eyes all day long. So has the boss, my immediate chief, and the head of the firm, no matter where they are. And if I live up to my advertising, nobody can stop me from selling my goods -- my services!
The more a man knocks me, the more he advertises me, because he calls attention to me. And if I am delivering something better than he says I am, the interested parties -- my employers -- will see it and will not be otherwise influenced by what he says. More than that, I must give to EVERY human being I come in contact with, from my wife to the bootblack who shines my shoes, from my brother to my sworn foe.
Sometimes people tell me to smile, but the smile I give must be a REAL smile that lives up to its advertising. If I go around grinning like a Cheshire cat, the Cheshire-cat grin will be what I get back -- multiplied! If I give the real thing, I'll get the real thing back -- multiplied! If anybody objects that this is a selfish view to take, I answer him that any law of salvation from anything that has ever been offered by anybody for any purpose offers a selfish view. The only unselfishness that has ever been taught truly is that of giving a lesser thing in the hope of receiving a greater!
Now, why am I so sure of this law? How can you be sure? I have been watching it work; it works everywhere. I believe you have only to try it, and keep on trying it, and it will prove true for you. It is not true because I say so, nor because anybody else says so. It is just true. Theosophists call it the law of karma ... humanitarians call it the law of service ... businessmen call it the law of commonsense ... Jesus called it the law of love. It rules whether I know it or not, whether I believe it or not, whether I defy it or not. I cannot break it!
Now, without referring to any religious idea you may have about Jesus of Nazareth, without considering whether he was or was not divine, recall that he spoke these words: "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over." And this appears certainly to be so -- not because he said it, but because it is Truth. It is true, this principle of giving and receiving, only there are few people who go the limit on it. But going the limit is the way to unlimited returns! Well, then, what shall I give? What I have, of course.
Suppose you believe in this idea, and suppose you start giving it out -- the idea itself -- tactfully, wisely, and start living it yourself in your business organization. How long do you think it will be before you are a power in that organization, recognized as such and getting pay as such? If this idea is true, it is more valuable than all the cleverness and special information you can possibly possess without it. What you have, give -- to everybody.
If you have an idea, do not save it for your own use only -- give it. It is the best thing you have to give and therefore the thing that will bring the best back to you. I begin to suspect that if an individual would follow this principle, even to his trade secrets, he would profit steadily more and more -- and more certainly than he will by holding on to anything exclusively for himself. He would never have to worry about his own affairs, because he would be working on the basis of fundamental law. Law never fails, and it will be easy for you to discover what is or is not law. And if law is worth using part of the time, it is worth using ALL the time. Look around you first with an eye to seeing the truth, and then put the thing to the test. If our reasoning is sound, through both methods of investigation you will find a blank check waiting for YOU to fill in!

The Mind Shift
.
In the process of finding more efficient ways to modify my beliefs, change my thoughts and be a more effective creator I have studied the Silva mind control method, (which I have previously talked about in detail)
Recently a new process arrived in my life which seemed to be unrealistic at first, until I realized that my own beliefs and mindset was literally preventing me from accessing the very information that I was seeking. I also experienced some negativity from friends I shared this with (rolling their eyes, and literally backing up) when I told them I was working on this...
Today I decided it is up to me to go forward to press on and create the bridge... If you are reading this it is up to you to decide if you will stay stuck in the matrix you find yourself in or if you are willing to step up and out?

Craig
From Gerald O'Donnell
The key to being offered a higher-level Matrix that incorporates
much more freedom of action and thought-manifestations (Creative
Powers), for the individuals forming a Creation and ultimately for the
totality of that Creation as their Collective Unconscious (Creator), is:
To be willing to let go of their sense of egotistic desires (Ego) and
care more about the evolution of Creation than about their individual
realities.
To show forth that behavior pattern of caring for the perceived
"other" - no matter how perceivably evolved or not - above and beyond caring for one's self. For the "other" is none but your self.
To be willing to die in perception from their current form of operation
in order to be granted a higher form of operation.
To understand, integrate and learn that one's Universe is within
one's self and that if you really understand the tremendous power
that your individual and common thoughts have in manifesting reality,
you then have power over all your reality and can manifest all
your desires.

In the process of finding more efficient ways to modify my beliefs, change my thoughts and be a more effective creator I have studied the Silva mind control method, (which I have previously talked about in detail)
Recently a new process arrived in my life which seemed to be unrealistic at first, until I realized that my own beliefs and mindset was literally preventing me from accessing the very information that I was seeking. I also experienced some negativity from friends I shared this with (rolling their eyes, and literally backing up) when I told them I was working on this...
Today I decided it is up to me to go forward to press on and create the bridge... If you are reading this it is up to you to decide if you will stay stuck in the matrix you find yourself in or if you are willing to step up and out?

From Gerald O'Donnell
The key to being offered a higher-level Matrix that incorporates
much more freedom of action and thought-manifestations (Creative
Powers), for the individuals forming a Creation and ultimately for the
totality of that Creation as their Collective Unconscious (Creator), is:
To be willing to let go of their sense of egotistic desires (Ego) and
care more about the evolution of Creation than about their individual
realities.
To show forth that behavior pattern of caring for the perceived
"other" - no matter how perceivably evolved or not - above and beyond caring for one's self. For the "other" is none but your self.
To be willing to die in perception from their current form of operation
in order to be granted a higher form of operation.
To understand, integrate and learn that one's Universe is within
one's self and that if you really understand the tremendous power
that your individual and common thoughts have in manifesting reality,
you then have power over all your reality and can manifest all
your desires.

Shaking it out!
.
Get moving, shake it, move it
Feeling funky, tired, blue, depressed, or just plain weary?
Get up and get moving!
Ok it’s easy to sit on the couch and feel down, or lay in bed and think about all of your problems.
Turn on some of your favorite tunes, (not the melancholy love songs, or mediation music, but some lively upbeat and fun music). Then get moving, dance, shake and play. Now notice how you are feeling, immediately you start feeling better, the blood flows to your brain, you feel alive and a smile spreads across your face.
IN this space and place you connect to source, to your power. Do this everyday, as often as possible and your world will begin to change. You will find new energy, new freedoms. In many cultures dancing is what connects you to God or Spirit, whatever it represents for you use it!
Where two or three are gathered, more is created. So now find a place to share this energy and fun with friends, and multiply it 30, 60 and 100 times.
Feel the energy of JOY that moving and shaking invokes.
But its up to you - sit there and feel the pain or get up and start moving!

Change your Brain,Change Your Life
I saw a very provocative and interesting show on PBS last night, as I have been working on resolving relationship, depression, and belief issues, it was fascinating to understand the brains role and how we can change it. If you are alive and breathing and want to change your life, this will be one very critical tool to have.
Fascinating information about dementia, alzheimer’s, how peoples mind works, and how the brain influences certain behaviors and responses.
Another thing he talked about is your thoughts, he stated you don't have to believe every thought you have. Every thought you have is not necessarily true. YOU need to challenge the thoughts that you have to see if they are true. He literally writes them down and then argues them with himself.
Here is Dr. Amen’s website and schedule for PBS

and here is his book –

The Shift
.
Are you doing your part?, Often we sit in judgment of what is happening around us, holding old patterns, resentments, anger, fear, hatred for things that are long past. None of these contribute to healing on any level, all contribute to the 'war' consciousness that continues to ravage families, towns, countries and nations.
Change (even the changes as proposed by our current political machines), begins with you, not with anyone else. So what will you do to heal your life, your family, your country. When will you make peace with yourself, and begin to open your heart to allow even those who seemed to have hurt you or that don't agree with your beliefs into a peaceful and harmonious connection. We all have that responsibility, most of us are waiting for someone else to begin the process, someone else to lead the way.
Well it's time to wake up, as that is precisely why we are where we are. Most people have followed the beliefs and patterns given to them by someone else who appears to be an authority or had the POWER to influence their core beliefs. Check in with your own self, where did you get the beliefs you currently hold? Are they absolutely true? Do they support peace, harmony, and Love of others. Do you give more love, caring and support to a stranger than you do to your own family members?
Its time to SHIFT.... see the movie link below, its well worth watching and it shows that people are finally taking their own power back and building the bridges to heal. It's happening......it's what this world needs more than anything else right now......and it's the most important change I believe we can effect in our lifetimes.

Circles of Change
.
Today is about circles… and how which one you are in affects your life, and how creating new ones, or changing your current ones, will help you and others. Dont let those around you tell you it cannot be done, it has been proven otherwise by many, today is your turn to step into the circle of success.
From Joe Vitale -
If someone has a circle of friends that keeps them feeling that they can’t have much more in their lives, they won’t attempt to have any more.
For example, when I was in college, most of my friends felt the only way to increase their income was to get a better job. Everyone I talked to felt the same way.
That’s because my circle was thinking the same way. We all believed the same thing. We supported each other in being stuck.
In my forthcoming audio program, The Awakening Course, I explain that most people are in the first stage of life: victimhood.
They feel stuck, they attract people that feel the same way, and so the state of being a victim continues. It’s simply reinforced.
For example, I saw an old friend in Ohio. He told me he could never have the life I have. When I asked why, he basically said it wasn’t possible for him.
Now, I could talk to him for hours about new realities and new possibilities if he just read The Attractor Factor or watched the movie The Secret and learned more about the Law of Attraction.
But when I left, he would turn to his current family and friends, or to his coworkers, ask them what they think, and they would reinforce his original belief that it wasn’t possible for him.
He would then shrug his shoulders and say, “See? It isn’t possible for me.”
You can change, of course.

Here is another group that is eliminating poverty by changing the circle of influence,
http://www.movethemountain.org/circlescampaign.aspx
As I have said many times, in order to change your life you have to have a positive support group of like minded people, if you can’t find one, start one. Even if it is only one other person, having a supportive, positive person who believes and supports the changes you are making will have a dynamic and powerful affect on your life. If you are having difficulty finding someone or connecting to someone, then perhaps a good coach is what you need.
Feel free to contact me soulcoachyms@gmail.com.
Its time to change, the circle is here, it’s up to you to find a new circle. Together we can make a difference.

Ending Depression
.
Depression - One of the most debilitating and deadly diseases known to man and yet it is largely mistreated and rarely cured.
First let me begin by telling my story, perhaps it will validate the statements that I make, and this is the short version, I am working on a full workup on this subject that will available soon.
I know about depression first hand, having spent a great deal of my life being depressed. It is rampant in my family, and I was told by many people I needed to get some help, and yet never did.(Denial is also an integral part of depression). So that in and of itself is the first hurdle to overcome. But let’s get back to the story,
I have had many black and dark days where I felt hopeless and unable to “DO” anything to change my circumstances. Until I finally decided to escape what I thought was causing my problem. I ended my relationship with a woman who seemed to be all that I had wanted in my life. Several weeks after I left, my world imploded. All I could see and feel was the darkness of loss and my pain. Time no longer mattered, life no longer mattered.
My mind spiraled deeper into the abyss, until finally I found myself trying to decide whether to use my gun, or tying a trash bag over my head, as the solution. In desperation and by some divine intervention and assistance, I called out for help. I tried a variety of solutions, some of them were a bit unorthodox, from contacting online psychics, to calling the suicide hotline, meditation, and alcohol. I also called my brother, who drove a considerable distance to be there for me, as he had dealt with this problem for many years as well, and with his support I finally decided I needed to get on medication.
I made my appointment with the doctor to get some drugs, and started immediately. Medication made matters worse, all I wanted to do was sleep, and my mind felt like I was swimming in mud. So I quit taking any drugs. I had to find another way, I had to solve this without the drugs or other forms of mind altering substances.
Finally, after repeated sad, painful and scary days and nights in this state, I found the answer. It didn’t require drugs, or therapy or killing myself. It required getting control of what was causing the depression in the first place, My Mind.
I resolved my Depression in one weekend and it has never had power over me since. Does it still exsist? In reality - NO. Do I experience the feelings? Ocassionally, but now I understand the message and know how to read it and it has no power to affect me.
Ok – I understand if you are reading this and find it a little difficult to believe, but if you want to end your depression, stay with me. I felt the same way.
Also, I am not saying therapy is useless or unnecessary, it is essential to have support and guidance, as it is almost impossible for the average person to do this alone. So you will need to have someone that is trained to help you. What is more important is finding someone that can actually help you resolve this issue and will support you applying what I am sharing with you.
The Answer –
It is important that you understand that FEELINGS good or bad, physical or mental are FEELINGS ONLY, nothing else. You can call them SIGNALS or MESSAGES from a friend trying to help you.
They are not the CAUSE of your pain or pleasure, they are only INFORMING you how you FEEL at the moment. When you understand this a completely new path opens up for you to take control over how you feel.
A FEELING brings you a MESSAGE, an INSTRUCTION describing how you should deal with this feeling.
Depression is a feeling, it is a message that something is affecting you. It is your job to find out what that is, and change what you are thinking about it. Then your feelings change.
I have done a lot of work on the spiritual aspects of life, energy, the Law of Attraction and other Universal laws and can tell you that You and only You can change your life. Every part of your life is exactly the result of what you created. As soon as you can accept that, your life will take on different meaning. Until YOU accept it, doing this work will be difficult. (reading back through previous posts may help with this)
So how do you change the feelings, how do you read the message and deal with it. It is all about controlling your mind.
Right here, right now you have control of your life. You can decide. The feelings you are having are the result of thoughts about the past or future.
So YOU have to change what You are thinking about, since depression is related to thoughts about the past or the future, to stop the pain you have to stop the mind. This requires bringing your attention to the NOW, right here, right now. And you have to do it until you are able to stay there or at least be there anytime a sad or painful feeling arises. (I had to do it for 48 hours straight, before my mind finally gave up and stopped the madness of regurgitating the thoughts and feelings of pain and sadness.)
If you want to more on this, here is the website I found that changed my life, he has put things into a simple little book that will change your life. The cost is under $10, which is a real bargain for this information.

Transforming the Energy of Pain and Suffering
.
Transforming the Energy of Pain and Suffering
We carry within ourselves the burden of our past and our childhood. A package that was handed to us keep, that is not ours at all. Much like the announcements made at the airport, we should have reminders if any one asks us to carry an emotional package or article for them we need to report it to the emotional baggage police. Are you carrying something, a heavy burden, that someone else gave you or told you to carry, or that you just picked up because you felt obligated?
Take Financial obligations and debt. There is no debt in the Divine mind. God doesn’t see debt. In my journey and effort to unravel what is not working in my life, I have discovered that my debts are my way of carrying around unfilled obligations. Feeling the obligation as a package of feelings and responsibilities that filled that space and place inside of me that somehow thought I had to carry my piece of the family responsibility.
As a child being powerless and unable to "do" anything I always had a sense of not being able to help and not having the resources I needed to change the dynamics of what was happening in the family. I had no way to relate to this or to change it and somewhere in my infant mind found that financial obligation filled that need to carry my part. It is not necessary nor it is it essential to the functioning of the world. In reality it is an illusion of my own making, as the true nature of the universe is abundance. Even though I "know" that in my mind, a energetic part of myself is attached to this feeling of obligation and I haven’t been able to get beyond it, until I realized why I was carrying it.
What is your package attached to? Pain? Fear? Health? Finances?
Are you carrying the payment for your childhood failures, to fulfill your perceived obligation to your parents/family /teachers? things you weren’t even aware of? A combination of all of these things?
To truly heal whatever is out of balance requires changing the energy within your mind and body. First you have to find that place or experience in your childhood where you first felt this energy. Second you have to change your thoughts about all of it, consciously and intentionally. Third you have to begin changing your feelings about it.
Once you can actually "feel" better and can reach that place where you can feel good in every moment, letting go of your "need" to be something or to satisfy some past event or process. As you begin to generate good feelings, and the law of attraction begins to work in a powerful way, bringing you more of the good experiences that you want, thereby generating more good feelings. It does require effort, energy and hard work to change these processes, thoughts and feelings.
Here is something that helped me understand...
From Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls by Robert Burney
It does not matter how much Spiritual Truth, how many mystical experiences of oneness, how in tune with Love, you can feel in certain moments - if you cannot integrate it into your life in a way which changes your emotional experience of life on a moment to moment, day to day basis. You can go to therapy for many years, read all the Spiritual and self help books, go to workshops and seminars and lectures - compile encyclopedic intellectual knowledge of what healthy behavior is - and still be reacting to old wounds in the relationships that mean the most to you.
The missing ingredient for so many people who have been seeking for many years, is how to integrate what you know into how you feel about your experience of life.
End quote.
What ever is happening for you, has probably been happening to you since early childhood. The universe (life) brings to you what you are feeling. It is simply an opportunity to see what you are thinking and feeling. There is no value in keeping them or holding on to any part of them you don’t want. When you decide to change your life, you become the catalyst and the force of that change. The circumstances and experiences that follow are totally your responsibility. You are in the School of Transformation.

Much like the announcements made at the airport, we should have reminders if any one asks us to carry an emotional package or article for them we need to report it to the emotional baggage police. Are you carrying something, a heavy burden, that someone else gave you or told you to carry, or that you just picked up because you felt obligated?
Take Financial obligations and debt. There is no debt in the Divine mind. God doesn’t see debt. In my journey and effort to unravel what is not working in my life, I have discovered that my debts are my way of carrying around unfilled obligations. Feeling the obligation as a package of feelings and responsibilities that filled that space and place inside of me that somehow thought I had to carry my piece of the family responsibility.
As a child being powerless and unable to "do" anything I always had a sense of not being able to help and not having the resources I needed to change the dynamics of what was happening in the family. I had no way to relate to this or to change it and somewhere in my infant mind found that financial obligation filled that need to carry my part. It is not necessary nor it is it essential to the functioning of the world. In reality it is an illusion of my own making, as the true nature of the universe is abundance. Even though I "know" that in my mind, a energetic part of myself is attached to this feeling of obligation and I haven’t been able to get beyond it, until I realized why I was carrying it.
What is your package attached to? Pain? Fear? Health? Finances?
Are you carrying the payment for your childhood failures, to fulfill your perceived obligation to your parents/family /teachers? things you weren’t even aware of? A combination of all of these things?
To truly heal whatever is out of balance requires changing the energy within your mind and body. First you have to find that place or experience in your childhood where you first felt this energy. Second you have to change your thoughts about all of it, consciously and intentionally. Third you have to begin changing your feelings about it.
Once you can actually "feel" better and can reach that place where you can feel good in every moment, letting go of your "need" to be something or to satisfy some past event or process. As you begin to generate good feelings, and the law of attraction begins to work in a powerful way, bringing you more of the good experiences that you want, thereby generating more good feelings. It does require effort, energy and hard work to change these processes, thoughts and feelings.
Here is something that helped me understand...
From Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls by Robert Burney
It does not matter how much Spiritual Truth, how many mystical experiences of oneness, how in tune with Love, you can feel in certain moments - if you cannot integrate it into your life in a way which changes your emotional experience of life on a moment to moment, day to day basis. You can go to therapy for many years, read all the Spiritual and self help books, go to workshops and seminars and lectures - compile encyclopedic intellectual knowledge of what healthy behavior is - and still be reacting to old wounds in the relationships that mean the most to you.
The missing ingredient for so many people who have been seeking for many years, is how to integrate what you know into how you feel about your experience of life.
End quote.
What ever is happening for you, has probably been happening to you since early childhood. The universe (life) brings to you what you are feeling. It is simply an opportunity to see what you are thinking and feeling. There is no value in keeping them or holding on to any part of them you don’t want. When you decide to change your life, you become the catalyst and the force of that change. The circumstances and experiences that follow are totally your responsibility. You are in the School of Transformation.

Fundamental Changes
.
As we are all familiar with computers and they function much like our minds, I was reading and listening to several articles and links today, out of that I realized that we have to make fundamental corrections to our programs.
For instance, if you click on an icon on your computer it opens a program, every time and always the same program. No matter how many times you click and no matter how you click it is the same. There is nothing you can do to change that.
Sometimes if you get a virus, strange things may happen, and unwanted programs open and pop up on your screen.
How does this relate to life? -
READ ON
and don’t let this article stop you, there is more below.
From –LIFE and MIND—In Search of the Physical Basis, Edited by Savely Savva
Click here for more info -
http://misaha.com:40090/book.php
The Mind
As postulated above, the mind is an essential part of the biofield control system responsible for behavioral aspects of fundamental programs of life. The word “mind” is used rather than “consciousness” in order to distinguish the general “decision-making” mechanism from awareness associated with the latter in higher species. The mind includes fundamental drives or “basic instincts” serving conservation of the individual, population and the species, such as attraction to the food and opposite sex, avoidance of threats, and sticking to the group. The mind holds memory and extracts meanings out of perceived information. It also includes programs prioritizing the organism’s reaction to changing internal and external conditions, i.e., how to behave when, for instance, hunger, threat and sex drives act simultaneously. Development of the nervous system and the brain in biological evolution only broadened the mind capacity.
End of quote
Did you see programs?
Our brain and cells run like computers, no matter how many times you TRY to change what is happening on a daily basis, if you are clicking the same icon you get the same results. If you get a mind “virus” (which is information that is based on someone else’s truth) then you have to deal with pop ups and programs that begin to run that you don’t want or need. So be aware of what you allow into your mind, and what is running. Only you have the power to decide what you are going to load in your program database, USE your add/remove programs feature to get rid of the ones you don’t want.
Here is where many of us need help. IN my business, I often get calls to clean off viruses, fix programs that are not working, help people figure out simple things on their computers. They call me because they are stuck. The same applies to our minds, we often need help with changing our programs.
Unfortunately many people have turned to religion and the Church for this help, and found themselves victims of religious abuse, rather than empowered and filled with the Divine. That is not to say that all churches are wrong, but many have abused their power. Often as the expense of those who came for help.
So if you looking to change your life, you need someone who is qualified and has YOUR best interest at heart. Someone who is focused on helping others rather than just making money, or taking away your power. Again making money is not wrong, it is an essential part of life, and when you connect to the kingdom within, money flows into your life, is the intention of the person helping you and your intentions as well that matters.
So today it is up to you – are you ready to make fundamental changes to your programs? Are you prepared to step into your true essence? Become all that you have wanted to? Good, then it is time to begin. Find a good coach that can help you through this, and then either find or create a group of like minded people to work together. If you have trouble finding a qualified coach that can help with these issues you can contact me at soulcoachyms@gmail.com.

The Power of Grace Light
I have intensified my search and work within myself to get beyond the human limitation and find my Source as Wayne Dyer and others talk about. To go beyond struggle and pain, to be free of mediocrity, to find and connect to the Divine. So I have asked for wisdom and understanding, for guidance and discernment.
As has been the case so many times in the past, my answer was in my mailbox. (Yes God has a sense of humor) but he also knows I write a lot and that I will look there.
Today I opened this –
http://www.goddessofdivinity.com
Scroll down and watch the video….
Grace light is the infusion of the Divine, it can happen in an instant, and we all have the power to have it, use it, and share it.
Here is what I was given about this – much like when electricity was discovered, few people knew about it properties, even fewer people knew how to use it.
Ask any electrician what the effect of electricity will be and he will reply that
"Electricity is a form of motion and its effect will depend upon the mechanism to
which it is attached." Upon this mechanism will depend whether we shall have heat, light, power, music or any of the other marvelous demonstration of power to which this vital energy has been harnessed.
So if you plug a light into the outlet, you get light, if you plug your stereo in you get music, etc.
The same principle applies to our Divinity, if you plug Joy and Happiness into this unlimited power source you get that, if you plug your pain and suffering in, you will get that.
It is up to each of us to do this for ourselves, and then to reach out and pass it on to others. So unplug whatever you are holding in your heart that isn’t working, and know that just by reading this and watching the video, your energy and connection has been changed.

YOU can do it Too!
Here is a message I received from Joe Vitale, (You may remember him from the “Secret” movie) It validates what I have been saying and also demonstrates the value of having a great Coach, one that can move you through the rough spots and keep you focused on your goals.
If the following story article speaks to you and you have an interest in having a coach, contact me at soulcoachyms@gmail.com for more information. Coaching can be done either in person or through email and the phone.
From Joe Vitale -
I want to be upfront with you about something... Regardless of what the media is telling you about the economy, the war, our environment, oil prices or anything else... You can set a focused intention to attract miracles and actually have them manifest in your life.
Right now, someone is attracting money, the perfect relationship, a new car or home, better health, and even a new fulfilling career.
This letter is hot off the press...
"I will never stop being grateful to you, to Joe Vitale and all the Mentor-Team. Six months ago, after reading "Zero Limits", I decided to enroll in Miracle Group Coaching (I invested almost all my finances).
"After 48 years, living with a good number of negatives memories (caused from the abusive childhood I experienced), low self esteem, always in debt, always worrying and being negative, and asking for help to make a decision - session bysession, I learned to except the past experiences, and to trust and love myself. Ilearned that love, gratitude, and integrity, are the secret to get inspired and attract miracles. "
After a few sessions, I stated the intentions to be able to financially support all my family, to buy or lease a new car and be able to take my family on a trip. Just before Christmas, my small business as a handyman started picking up. The sessions in Miracles Coaching, thanks to your guidance and professional teaching, were a big support for all of this, I was able to buy a new SUV and lease a used truck for my business.After New Years, I signed a remodeling contract for $37,000, and in February it was upgraded to $55,000 with a clean profit of $22,000. After I received the check, I went on line and booked 8 tickets to Italy for my family. I am happy and grateful to God for giving me life and all of you. I love you."
Imagine living with all those challenges (abusive childhood, low self-esteem, financial debt, constant worry) and in a very short time turning it all around. Talk about doing an about-face. His business took off, he bought himself a new car, he leased a truck, and then to top it off, he took his whole family to Italy.
Wow.

Dwell on the Gain _ Part 2
.
A friend recently sent me this question –
I have identified my deepest desires, and one of them is a “steady income.” Someone told me that is not specific enough. What is your take on that?
The answer to this is subtle but important, and has two parts.
1. You can manifest a steady income. You can create money.
YOU can also create joy, happiness and the resources to enjoy any lifestyle you wish to have, if it is beneficial to you and others, which includes having a steady income.
It is all about intention. This energy and the process works best when your intention is to bring joy and happiness into your life and others.
The difficulty in manifesting money and a steady income is that it involves your beliefs and self worth. Unless you do the work to change your beliefs and self worth dramatically, you invariably will tend to regress to previous states. If is extremely difficult to change the outside without changing the inside first!
Setting your intention to have joy, and happiness and perhaps great success in your business, bypasses the subconscious blocks about your value and beliefs. As you connect to your dreams and hold your intention to improve your Joy and happiness, you begin to FEEL it, your energy begins to change inside. This is how Norman Vincent Peal healed himself with laughter therapy.
2. A steady income is very open and unspecific. The universe will give you what you ask for, but it may not be what you want. For instance a steady income of $20 a week is an answer to your request. Your desire has been granted, but you will definitely not be happy.
The Law of Attraction works without fail, consistently and continuously. WHATEVER you focus on most is what you will have. This is why you must always focus on the GAIN (what you WANT to have) and not what hurts or what you currently have or the lack of what you want.
YOU also have to be very clear and specific about what you want to have.
To be continued…

Thy will be Done
Will, is the force that drives our choices, affects our reality, and controls our perceptions. As a child there is no delineation of will.
From the moment we are born others begin to instruct and teach us, that the will of those in power is the dominant force. At birth we cry for food, or to have some other need met. Depending on their state of mind and their current emotional state our caretakers may respond with Love or with Anger. They may meet our needs, or they may punish us for simply being there. They may even punish us for having needs, as in the child that is beaten for crying out in pain. They have complete dominion and power over us. As we begin to grow, we try to find other means of getting our needs met, we become aware of which behaviors induce sympathy or anger from our caregivers. We learn that our requests are denied or diminished if our caregivers are unable or unwilling to meet them appropriately.
Experience quickly teaches us that the will of those in power over us, takes precedence over our will. We learn to submit our will to the higher power, in order to survive and to prevent our caretakers from hurting us. This process is repeated over and over in our daily lives as a young child, sometimes with brutal force, sometimes with subtle manipulation. Eventually we completely sacrifice our will, and learn the behaviors that will give us the most benefit, with the least resistance, until our beliefs are firmly ingrained with the experience of giving up our own will to protect ourselves from pain. We become conditioned and domesticated. We no longer feel our own heart, or our connection to ourselves.
The result of this atrocity leaves our spirit broken and confused. We try to hang on to that little bit of ourselves that we know is our true selves. If that small piece of ourselves is not allowed to grow, eventually our souls feel “lost”. We get trapped in the maze of trying to understand where our power is, where our heart is and who we are. As a child that is a enormous undertaking, that we unable to navigate.
This abuse is continued and driven deeper into our physce when we are introduced to “Religion”. The Church in its efforts to save the souls of the earth, has established itself as the supreme authority on human behavior. Drawing on the teachings of Masters and teachers such as Christ, Mohammed, or Buddha, the leaders of the “church” have written books that are supposedly based on the teachings of these prophets. Other men have proclaimed their personal visions as words from God. All of these writings and texts have been modified and changed to create the greatest power for the Church leaders, and not to empower the people.
One can see in the variety and diversity of the worlds religions that something is out of balance. It took me many years of study and meditation to understand this process. What I discovered is amazing. When one discovers his “TRUTH” he feel alive and connected. This individual then tries to share that with others or writes a book, and begins to teach his “TRUTH” to others. Since most people have been conditioned to give their will to a higher power and this individual seems to have a connection to “GOD” they listen, and soon they are conditioned to that “TRUTH”, eventually an entire religion grows out of that. Now we have many Truths, from many groups, and all believe that their truth is the one and only truth. The real TRUTH is none of them are true for everybody. Each of us has his or her own Truth. Yes we can agree or certain principles or tenants, and in the big picture if we follow our own Truth we are actually all in agreement at the core of our being, as we have all come from the same place.

Now we have many Truths, from many groups, and all believe that their truth is the one and only truth. The real TRUTH is none of them are true for everybody. Each of us has his or her own Truth. Yes we can agree or certain principles or tenants, and in the big picture if we follow our own Truth we are actually all in agreement at the core of our being, as we have all come from the same place.

Dwell on the Gain!
I have spent many hours in the last few years working through the different energies and processes to change my life and learn how to manifest what I want to have in my life. I have looked even deeper into this energy recently, like a geologist searching for clues to the creation of this world, I have spent a lot of time looking for the keys that would unlock the pain I feel, that knowing in my soul that it can be better, but unable to make it happen. The darkness of frustration seeps in to my soul like a slow moving mist, as I struggle to deal with the aspects of my life that seem unchanging.
I found what I have been looking for... what I discovered is close to home. It is within myself. I have the power to have or be whatever I desire. How is this possible you ask? The answer is simple, doing it is the difficult part... read on..
The problem... ? You literally have to create the brain cells to comprehend what I am about to say. If you don’t your own belief system will prevent you from even accepting it as a possibility. You have to convince yourself of the Truth, and override what you have accepted as true. This is evident over history, when people could not accept the world was round, that steel could float, or men could fly. And yet all of these were proven in time.
As more people began to accept the reality, the possibilities increased.
The secret? Dwell on the Gain not the Pain. This message came to me while standing in the kitchen this morning. It was exactly what I needed.
Sounds easy... Yet it requires completely forgetting about what is bothering you, what isn’t working and any pain you currently have. In its place you have to put the thoughts of what you desire. All day, all night without letting up.
At first you will find your mind drifting back to the pain, your thoughts and feelings will snap back to what is, so powerfully you cant stop them at first. You have to keep going, train yourself to move in the direction of what you want. Nothing and no one can stop you but your self.
The Universal law of Attraction is unchangeable… you have done it perfectly for many years. Everything you carry in your mind and feelings, have manifested exactly that way in your current life.
YOU have the Power to change what you have, by changing your thoughts.
God gave you free will, he also gave you unlimited power to create your life exactly the way you want it. It is up to you. Every thought, every word you speak has the power to manifest life. The majority of your thoughts and feelings are currently focused on what you have or you wouldn’t have it.
Like a magnifying glass in the sun, if you move it around not much happens, if you hold it in one place and focus the energy of the sun in one spot you can start a fire. This is what you have to do. Intense focus on the Gain not the Pain.
So how do you do This
Sit down and decide EXACTLY what you want, write it down , draw a picture of it, cut out pictures that remind you of it and post them in your home and car. Every time a thought of your pain rises, replace it with a new thought, a beautiful thought about what you want to Gain!
You cannot push the darkness out of room no matter how hard you try, but if you turn a light on the darkness is gone. Darkness is just an absence of light. This is a universal principle. Disease is an absence of health. You have to replace disease with thoughts of health, and you cannot entertain both, the Law of Attraction is unchangeable. Poverty is an absence of Wealth. So what you put your attention on, if you focus long enough, will manifest. It can be no other way.
Evidence of this abounds throughout history, and you can do it.
So together lets dwell on the Gain, on all of the Gain and nothing but the Gain. Stop thinking and talking about what is wrong or not working for you. Find you Joy and Happiness and Create that all day! IN time the darkness, disease and poverty can no longer survive, as the energy it needs to exist will no longer be available.

Getting to the Roots
.
Today while working in the garden pulling weeds, I realized if you just pull the weeds and don’t get the roots out, the same weeds reappear (grow back) the next week.
So what does this have to do with manifesting what you want? A whole lot!
You see some of our thoughts are like weeds, we can get rid of them on the surface, but if we don't remove the beliefs (roots) that gave them life and energy, they simply reappear. As we begin to work towards our goals, often frustration and hopelessness sets in, We try to get rid of our negative thoughts, without dealing with the beliefs. Then seemingly out of nowhere our mind is full of the same thoughts we just decided we would never entertain again.
No matter how many times you rip out the surface thoughts, the roots (beliefs) regenerate the same old thoughts. As we are often very attached to these beliefs, we struggle with letting go of them or changing them. We are usually very identified with our beliefs.
Changing your beliefs requires digging much deeper than you conscious mind. We have to go into the subconscious and the core of our being. It may require a good intuitive coach or support group to realize and see our own stuck places. Many of these erroneous beliefs were given to us before we were 7 years old, hence they are powerful and deeply rooted.
The best way to know where you are stuck is to begin to be aware of your thoughts and which ones resonate within your body, If you can feel a thought in your body, it has enormous power for you.
This is why you literally have to become what you want to be, not just think or say you want to be or do. By being, you accept that you are already that, and soon your thoughts and beliefs begin to change to conform with your new feelings, you begin to sense the change within your body and mind.
In time you can become what you desire, and have what you want, but it takes conscious effort and focus. It also requires an understanding of the dynamics of beliefs.

5 Great Lessons
.
I found this in my archives and I dont recall the author, but felt it was worth sharing.
1- First Important Lesson -
The Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I readthe last one:"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade."Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers,you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson -
Pickup in the Rain
One night, at11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s.
The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home.
A special note was attached..It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highwaythe other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away...
God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.
"Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson -
Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him."How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked."Fifty cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it."Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient."Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins."I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill onthe table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.
When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,were two nickels and five pennies..You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. -
The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.
Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.
After thepeasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder hadbeen. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson -
Giving When it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her onlychance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness.
The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it, if it will save her."
As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
Who among us could be that Brave?
"Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching."
Pass It On.....Pay It Forward!

IRRITATING IDIOTS CAN BE USEFUL
.
Another story I read recently,
Gurdjieff used to go out of his way to stimulate his students' emotions. He had a training center in France for some years, an old chateau, the Chateau de Prieure. Students came to live there regularly and would end up working in the gardens, painting the walls, cleaning out the gutters, and so on as well as attending classes and otherwise getting instructions.
Gurdjieff also had some Russian immigrants living there, this being shortly after the Bolshevik Revolution. One of these immigrants, a man who we shall call Bekterev, though this is not his real name, was particularly annoying to those who had come as spiritual seekers. He was not a student of Gurdjieff. Indeed, Bekterev thought everything spiritual was total nonsense. His personal habits drove everybody up the wall. He seemed the most inconsiderable, egotistical, irritable man alive.
Gurdjieff's students hated Bekterev: they were there for serious spiritual work, and this idiot was constantly irritating and distracting them. They started playing practical jokes on him, and they eventually played such nasty practical jokes that he was driven to leave. I
can't recall precisely, but they finally did something like steal his false teeth and roll them in cow manure—something like that. He left in a rage.
As soon as Gurdjieff heard, he immediately got in his car, went to Paris, where Bekterev had gone, and begged him to come back, offering to pay him a magnificent salary just to live at the Prieure. He later explained this to his students, saying something along the lines of, "This man is one of the most valuable teaching instruments I have. You are here for self-study, and this man steps on your emotional corns every day, giving you marvelous opportunities to see how your psychological machinery is constructed. His absence would be a great loss to the gaining of real self-knowledge—real as opposed to the fantasies you have about yourself and your lofty spiritual aims."
I am not suggesting that you go out and deliberately find somebody like that. Life will probably provide, actually.
It is the shift in attitude that you can make that is most valuable. You begin to recognize that you do not know your own psychology; that you are caught up in automatized, unconscious reactions that you do not understand and that cause you trouble. You come to realize that you must understand what is going on in you before you can effectively do something about it, and that you need to engage in self-study, self-remembering, and self-observation. Then the stresses and strains of life become gifts. They give you opportunities to see things that it might take you years to see otherwise.
This is another reason why Gurdjieff was not enthusiastic about monasticism and spiritual retreats. Retreats are arranged to be very calm and peaceful, and so all your nasty problems go dormant. No one steps on your corns. You do not really solve your problems.
You are in an artificial situation that is advantageous in some ways, but which can allow you to get lost in what amounts to fantasies about your level of spiritual development. Get out and work on yourself in life, where these annoying things keep happening, providing rich material for study.
Again, you should not misinterpret this statement to mean that you should try to make your life more miserable. Life will provide sufficient misery. You do not need the hair shirts.

Focus
.
IN working towards my goals , I have had to look back at the work I have done in the past, and determine how I was able to achieve success. The times I manifested seemingly impossible things, I was the most intently focused. I set aside everything else and put all of my thoughts and energy towards my goal.
Recently I have found myself with several goals and things are moving slowly, when I sat down to figure out why, I found my energy and thoughts were scattered and unfocused. Actually I was focused in regards to a particular goal, but I would work on one goal, and then start thinking about another goal. soon the were all run together.
The result is that I was not creating anything of substance, a few things were appearing, but I began to feel frustrated and powerless. SO remember if you are attempting to create what you want, it is beneficial to have one main goal, and make that your primary focus all day.
This means that every thought, every intention and every action is towards your goal. Ok you may still have to do your job, and take out the trash, but in the spaces in between, and even during those times, your thoughts have to be towards what you want to create. The more garbage you mix in with the recipe, the more scattered your original intention will appear.
“Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind” - Simply put, this means using your thoughts to change your life. It is up to you to manage them. Each of us was given the ability to think, feel and create. What you do with that and how you do it is part of the free will that was also given to each of us.
IN summary, decide what is your primary goal and work on that, often within that goal being manifested, the other things you want will appear quite magically.
So you don’t have to abandon all of your goals, but it requires intense focus and intention, clear and focused thought on you primary goal. Set aside all distractions, and escapes, and set your intention to achieve your goal no matter what. Hold you thoughts towards having and manifesting your goal. See your goal as already here and soon it will be.

I AM

From Sonia Choquette
Vitamin for the Soul this month
I AM….
The words “I am….” Are very powerful metaphysical words? Whenever you say, “I am.” you proclaim who you are and want to be to the Universe, to others and to yourself, and the Universe agrees and makes it so.
That’s why it is very damaging to proclaim such things as “I am unhappy,” or “I am broke,” “I am sick,” “I am fat.” “ I am unlovable.”
These statements absolutely attract these unpleasant conditions. This week, use the power mantra “I am…” to create the exact conditions you want in your life.
Try:
• I am healthy
• I am balanced
• I am happily employed
• I am loved and lovable
• I am beautiful
• I am a prosperous creative being
• I am joyful, light – hearted and blessed in every way

That’s why it is very damaging to proclaim such things as “I am unhappy,” or “I am broke,” “I am sick,” “I am fat.” “ I am unlovable.”
These statements absolutely attract these unpleasant conditions. This week, use the power mantra “I am…” to create the exact conditions you want in your life.
Try:
• I am healthy
• I am balanced
• I am happily employed
• I am loved and lovable
• I am beautiful
• I am a prosperous creative being
• I am joyful, light – hearted and blessed in every way

I have been working on finding ways ot connect more deeply with "Source"

If all existence is energy and energy is inherently vibrational, it follows that everything in existence is vibrating at one rate or another. In the case of human beings, we are informed about where or how we are vibrating through our emotions. When we have emotions that feel good, we are vibrating in the flow of life, aligned with Source Energy. When we experience emotions that make us feel stuck, limited, fearful etc…, we are vibrating outside the natural flow of Source. Therefore, raising and aligning our vibration with that of Source is the way by which we can restore our balance and wellbeing.
According to the universal laws of attraction and reflectivity, we will attract and manifest our vibrational match. And so, if we are vibrating in a place of fear, anger or guilt, we will attract and manifest like individuals and circumstances that are vibrating in fear, anger or guilt. Similarly, if we are vibrating in a place of joy, love and freedom, we will also manifest our match.
There are many techniques or modalities to restore such alignment. I use the simplest one which is a direct invocation of Source Energy. Since all intelligent beings – including us humans - are an embodiment of Source, simply by invoking this presence and energy, we can restore immediate wellbeing and balance. If we continuously invoke such presence, we can then maintain our alignment and eventually manifest all that we desire effortlessly and joyfully. Could it be so simple? Yes!
No matter what your condition, struggle or belief system may be, you are the embodiment of Source, you are one with Source. You are Source. As such, when in physical form, it is your birthright so to speak, to reestablish your conscious link with your spirit parent: Source Energy. In my practice, I work with individuals suffering from all sorts of “illnesses” or disabilities ranging from emotional traumas, phobias to brain injury and paralysis. Regardless of the severity of the condition, all - without exception - are capable of aligning with Source Energy and experiencing immediate peace, joy and divine love. This state of connection and blending with Source Energy is achieved in less than 10 minutes through a simple invocation. Try it, it’s just that simple!
(Once you have memorized this invocation, it is best to close your eyes and breathe deeply a few times – in through the nose, out through the mouth. Repeat this invocation 3 times and allow the energy to flow).
I ask and intend to connect to Source and the energy of my Divine Creator now.
I ask and intend to bring this Source Energy through my physical body and in this physical space.
I ask and intend to feel the energy of Source fill my entire being now.
I ask and intend that the energy of Source restore my wellbeing, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, now.
And so it is

Brain Drain
If you have been following along, this will be easy, if not you will need to read the previous blogs. Those who try to bypass the process will end up back at GO and wont get their $200. (Remember Monopoly?)
It all begins in the brain, often we refer to the brain as the Mind, it is similar and occupies the same space, but is so very different. Brain drain is where you allow the brain to manage your life, and put the MIND on hold.
The brain deals with the past and the future, It wants and needs to process all of the garbage that passes by and is affecting our lives. None of which helps us achieve our true goals. Allowing the brain to control your life will basically drain you and those around you of the energy necessary to create what you want.
The Mind is connected to all things, and can achieve anything you ask it to. Once you understand the difference and learn to switch over, your life begins to change. Miracles begin to appear.
I have watched and experienced people doing this regularly. Those who willing and accept what I teach them, have experienced it first hand, often within minutes.
One client wanted to move to certain area of town, he called complaining about people not returning his phones calls, how he could not get a place, too expensive, wouldn't take his dogs, etc. I had him set his intention to have what he wanted, and I held that energy with him.
Several hours later he called and told me that a friend he hadn't heard from for a long time called him, and she started telling him she needed a roommate. It turns out she lived exactly where he wanted to live, loved his dogs, and gave him a place at half of what he was planning to spend. I see that as a miracle. The difference, he stopped Draining energy using his brain and connected to his mind, (Source) and manifested what he wanted in less than three hours.
So it is up to you, the choice cannot be made by me or someone else. Only you can decide if you truly want to change your life, or you prefer the pain of the familiar, continuing to constantly spew your past and future struggles all over your present. Or Step into the Now, and just be. This means you have to stop talking, thinking about and processing all of your garbage, no matter how real it seems or how much it is affecting you currently. Or find like minded people who will support that, and assist you in your Brain Drain.
I have not seen or experienced one incident where someone achieved or manifested their desires by spewing out all of their concerns, pain, difficulties, anxieties or fears.
On the other hand I have witnessed and accomplished for myself magnificent and amazing things by using my Mind.

Seeing the Obvious
.
Often in doing this work, obstacles seem to appear that are far greater than our abilities to solve or overcome them. Many times the solution is not so obvious, but can be simpler than we ever thought possible. Here is a story about such an incident.
Looking to capitalize on Houdini's immense popularity and fame, a London bank challenged him to break out of their vault with its new, state-of-the-art locking system. They were CERTAIN that even the great Houdini would finally meet his match.
Houdini accepted, and on the appointed date, the press turned out in droves to see if the master could get out in the three and a half minutes allotted.
This time he got to keep his clothes on. But he had another trick up his sleeve!
His contracts always specified that before he disappeared into the trunk or cell or behind a small curtain (when performing on a stage), he could kiss his wife. After all, many of his feats were seriously dangerous, so who could refuse the couple what might turn out to be their last goodbye?
But what no one knew was that he was getting more than a kiss! As their lips met, his wife would secretly pass a small piece of wire from her mouth to his. Then, once he was alone or hidden behind the curtain, he'd use the wire to pick the locks.
This time out, though, the wire didn't seem to be doing the trick. Here's what Houdini wrote about that experience ...
"After one solid minute, I didn't hear any of the familiar clicking sounds. I thought, my gosh, this could ruin my career, I'm at the pinnacle of fame, and the press is all here.
"After two minutes, I was beginning to sweat profusely because I was not getting this lock picked.
"After three minutes of failure, with thirty seconds left, I inadvertently reached into my pocket to get a handkerchief and dry my hands and forehead, and when I did, I leaned against the vault door and it creaked open."
And there you have it, my friend. The door was never locked! But because Harry BELIEVED it to be locked, it might as well have been. Only the "accident" of leaning on the door changed that belief and saved his career.
It's the same way with all of us. The things we believe to be insurpassable barriers, obstacles, and problems are just like the bank vault door. The only lock is in our minds, and as long as we simply believe that we CAN'T, well, we can't.
But when we give the door a push we can be amazed to find that not only is the door not locked to us, there's really no door at all, just the illusion of one.
We can all be master magicians. All we have to do is face whatever barrier seems to be looming before us, then take the first step, give the door a shove. The biggest obstacles are the ones we have created ourselves in our minds, and when we give our focus, faith, and feeling to them, THEY become our vision — and then they become real.
In his amazing forgotten classic from 1910, The Science of Getting Rich, author Wallace Wattles advises us that "You cannot retain a true and clear vision of wealth if you are constantly turning your attention to opposing pictures, either external or imaginary."
And he offers this encouragement, too: "No matter how tremendous an obstruction may appear at a distance, you will find that if you continue in the certain way, it will disappear as you approach it — or that a way over, through, or around it will appear."
What SEEMINGLY locked door is towering before you today, keeping you from your heart's desire? Perhaps is isn't even locked.

The Power of the Mind

This is an incredible story and it explains how our mind works and why it is diffcult to let go of our baggage as well as how to be in the now. It simply a function of staying in the "right" side of your brain.

What do you Hear?
.
What the Young Man Heard
By Rebecca Fine
In the latter half of the 1800s, when the telegraph was still "high tech," a young man in Baltimore, Maryland, woke up one summer morning giddy with excitement. In fact, it had taken him half the night to get to sleep at all.
Today was the day he'd apply for his first job! But what was really exciting was that, if he were lucky enough to be chosen for the position, he'd actually be getting PAID for something that absolutely enthralled him. He'd be a real, bona fide telegraph operator!
His mind was so filled with wonderful pictures of himself sending and receiving important messages, communicating with people miles away — even clear across the country — that the possibility of NOT getting the job couldn't get a foot in the door.
He didn't even mind wearing a stiff collar and tie. After all, this was an important job, and he liked the idea of looking the part. Giving his shoes one last buffing, he dashed out the door and raced downtown to the telegraph office.
Inside, the office was already bustling with activity and noise, including the sound of the telegraph clattering away in the background. Several other applicants were seated in the waiting area, hunched over paperwork. Our young man saw a stack of job applications with a sign instructing candidates to take one, fill it out, and then wait to be called into the Director's office for an interview. So he eagerly grabbed one and sat down.
The form itself took only a few minutes to complete, and as he finished and started to look around at the other job hopefuls in the room ...
... the young man suddenly jumped from his chair and with his paperwork in hand, marched over to the Director's office door and went right in without even knocking!
"Did you see that?" one of the other jobseekers snorted. "We're supposed to wait until we're called, and that rube barges in like he owns the place."
"Yeah, that's some nerve, but it just cuts down the competition," said another, and they all laughed.
Moments later the laughter and comments stopped as the Director's door opened and both he and the beaming young man came out into the waiting area.
"Gentlemen," the Director said, "thank you for coming, and I wish you all well. The job has been filled."
Stunned into silence, no one said anything for a moment. Then, the fellow who had started the derisive comments sputtered, "Now wait a minute. This isn't fair! We were here first but we never even got a chance, and he gets the job just like that?"
The others grumbled in agreement, but the Director put up his hand. "Here's the thing," he said.
"All this time you were sitting here, the telegraph has been clicking away, saying: 'If you can understand this, come on into the office right now. You've got the job.'
As he clapped his hand on the young man's shoulder, he smiled broadly and said, "This young fellow was the only one of you who heard or understood the message."
Why did this young man alone hear and understand the message?
Listen to what Scottish psychologist R. D. Laing had to say on this subject:
"The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change -- until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds."
You'll probably need to read that a couple of times. (I sure did!) Then just let it sink in a bit.

The Path to Oneness
.
The Path to Oneness
by Owen Waters
Since the dawn of the mists of time, you have had one great soul urge, and that is to reunite with the spiritual source from which you came. Along the way, you have realized that this means reaching out in spiritual service to mankind. Along the way, you have sensed that this giving of spiritual service is the very action which leads you along the pathway back to that from which you came.
By becoming your brother's keeper in a spiritual way, you become more at one with all people and the source from which we all came. Through service to others, you also serve your own spiritual development. By loving and healing them through the use of spiritual energy, you help the spiritually blind to see the light within, you help the spiritually deaf to hear the whisperings of their souls, and you help the spiritually numb to revitalize their connection with God.
By sending them your love, by sending them your light, by helping them with this precious, spiritual energy of love and light, you heal their hearts, you heal their spirits, you heal their long-suffering souls, and you help them back onto the one great path back to Source, which we all yearn to tread.
That path is the road to reconnection to the Spirit within. That path is the one which brings you into conscious contact with the light within. That path is the reason you are here, the reason you chose to be born into a world where people feel disconnected from that very Source.
The details of how that path unfolds are unique for every individual. We all tread this path in our own way to reach the common goal of reconnection with the flame of the Spirit which shines within our hearts. It is this flame which silently beckons us on. It is this flame which lights the darkness in a world of great suffering. It is this flame which connects our souls to the one Source of all things.
When you go into the silence of meditation, even for a few moments, remember to end your session by helping the world. Dedicate your love and your light to world peace and freedom, then send this out from your heart into a world that desperately needs energy in a spiritual form.
Life energy is everywhere. Spiritually-conditioned life energy is in short supply because few people take the time to condition it with their intentions and send it out to heal the world. Once you condition the energy of life with love and light and send it out to the world, it reverberates within the global mind atmosphere of humanity, healing and uplifting many people. Its higher frequency imbues it with enormous power relative to the regular, everyday thoughts of mankind. The power of spiritual energy is such that it affects, not one, but hundreds of people at the same time.
Every time you send out love and light in dedication to world peace and freedom for all, you help hundreds of people to see life and its possibilities from a higher perspective.
When you intentionally heal the world in this way, you help many people who are not yet consciously aware of how to raise themselves up spiritually. These are people who are relying upon the enlightened vision of people like you, so that they may be helped in taking the next step into higher consciousness. So that they may be comforted and healed. So that they may gain their own conscious inner reconnection to the one Spirit from which they once came, so long ago, in the mists of time.

What are you Worth?
HMMMMM? The wheels are turning....
Many people I talk to have no clue what they are worth to themselves, or what value THEY have to this world. What is your value, what are your gifts worth? Do you know what your gifts are?
If you don't know, you need to know.
If it very difficult to believe in yourself, when you don’t know what you are worth, and you don’t feel valuable to others. It is time to know and feel your worth.
Each of us has been given gifts, we were born with them. When we know what they are and use them, we then will understand this process. Many times our gifts were made fun of, or we were told that we had no value, and would never amount to anything.
Remember Mother Teresa, her legacy is known throughout the world, and yet the most powerful thing she did was to just use the gifts that God gave her. Giving care and love to the sick and poor, she changed the lives of millions of people. She simply was who God meant her to be, and in that became her Magnificent self.
So it isn't always about being the best, or the most famous. Sometimes the simplest gifts can be the most profound.
It may be that all you have to do is smile at people when you pass them. If that is your gift you will change the world, and yourself. It is your job to discover what your gift is, and use it.
This is what Jesus was talking about when he said seek first the Kingdom of God and all other things will be added to YOU! The kingdom is within yourself, and it is your gifts, your connection to source, your acknowledgement of your own Worth!
When you reach this place, you will allow all that you need and want to be delivered to you, as you use your gifts, those who want and need them will be drawn to you like a magnet and abundance will flow in you r life.
Remember you have to give to receive, Asking God to give you money, health or other things without being willing to give something back ( your Gifts) slows down the delivery time. If you want overnight delivery :-) then you have to give first, use your talents, and embrace your worth. BE what you want to become. The rest will take care of itself.
Many people I talk to have no clue what they are worth to themselves, or what value THEY have to this world. What is your value, what are your gifts worth? Do you know what your gifts are?
If you don't know, you need to know.
If it very difficult to believe in yourself, when you don’t know what you are worth, and you don’t feel valuable to others. It is time to know and feel your worth.
Each of us has been given gifts, we were born with them. When we know what they are and use them, we then will understand this process. Many times our gifts were made fun of, or we were told that we had no value, and would never amount to anything.
Remember Mother Teresa, her legacy is known throughout the world, and yet the most powerful thing she did was to just use the gifts that God gave her. Giving care and love to the sick and poor, she changed the lives of millions of people. She simply was who God meant her to be, and in that became her Magnificent self.

BELIEVE IN THE IMPOSSIBLE
.
From John Holland
BELIEVE IN THE IMPOSSIBLE
Have you ever noticed how some people seem to have all the luck and good fortune? Have you wondered if there’s some secret or magic formula?
Let me enlighten you with the real truth. The force that works through your soul, determining what’s possible or impossible, the difference between success over failure, and above all who we are – is the power of your belief.
Some people believe in a higher power than themselves, just as there are some who believe in love and abundance, while others sadly believe they’re alone and believe they are only just meant to survive. Equally, there are some who just walk aimlessly upon this planet, accepting whatever comes their way, with no real sense of purpose. It’s not about luck. It’s about how and why you attract such conditions in your life.
By consciously believing and knowing that spirit is running through you here and now, and that you’re meant to live a happy abundant life, you’ll begin to experience your life the way you were meant to live it – as a soul.
