BEING A CHILD AGAIN

Have you ever thought about what life was really like when you were just a child? I think most all of us have at different times. I know that each of us lived our own childhood and no two are ever exactly alike.But for me I can remember how I just had faith that everything I needed was going to be given to me. And I dont want to confuse the things I needed with the things I wanted because I sure didnt get everything I wanted just the things I needed.I had faith that I would always have a place to stay, clothes to wear and food to eat.Of course I never fully realized just how hard my mother and step dad had to work to do that.We never had a lot of the "extras" in life but always did have the necessities.As an adult I am now even more amazed at my own parents and those who raised their kids in this manner.There is a bible verse in Matthew 18:3 which states Then Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, you must first change and become like little children. Otherwise, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Now I realize that each of us will take our own interpation of that verse as to what it means and I can only tell you what it means to me personally. And that is this--for me to truly live a life that is fulfilling and joyous I must first become as that little child again so I can establish that faith that is necessary for me to accept the gifts that Life offers to me.Just by knowing that Life will supply me everything I ever need I can then rest easy at night knowing all my needs are already fulfilled. And again Im trying not to confuse the things I need with those things I desire.I will end with the following quote from the Science of Mind--To each is given what he(she) needs and the gifts of heaven come alike to all. How we shall use these gifts is all that matters. My fondness hope is that each of you will find your life filled with much love joy peace and understanding. And please as you travel along this path you have chosen try and do something nice for someone today just because you can!

ATTAINING CONFIDENCE

I truly believe that having confidence in anything we desire to do or make happen is of the utmost importance. Also there is a big difference in confidence and false hope. Also a fine line is there between confidence and  arrogance! To be confident is a necessity but arrogance is truly a total waste of time as I see it.If we are to have our desires made manifest in this material 3 D world I think we must first align our 2 parts of the mind with what it is we desire. Being confident in our conscious mind will only carry us so far unless we also impress our subconscious mind first.Have often have you failed to see your desires unfulfilled even though you were outwardly confident of the results being in your favor? When that happens I believe it would behoove us to take a closer look at what our subconscious mind really thinks.Its one thing to wish for something good to happen than to be confident in both minds. If we are not confident on that deeper layer of mind then no amout of confidence in the conscious mind will enable us to fully express all the "good" we desire. I think we need to work on our subconscious mind more and learn to really listen to what it is telling you! Thomas Troward once stated :"We must endeavor to impress upon our subjective mind the idea of that which we desire quite apart from any conditions." I must agree with Mr Troward on that one! May all of you find that "inner" confidence quickly and learn to use it to make manifest your dreams! And  may you always be on the look out for that old negative arrogance and squash it before it grows outta control. I leave you with thoughts of love, peace, joy, and understanding. And if you can please try a nd do something nice for someone today just because you can!

ROLLING WITH THE FLOW

I know there have been many times in my life when I reach a point to where it seems I am doing nothing except spinning my wheels and chasing my tail. Getting stuck in a rut sucks! Old memories, old hurts, old false beliefs etc have a way of creeping back into one's mind and causing them to impede the flow of perfect love and Divine Current that otherwise flows easily and effortlessly throughout our daily lives.And when we allow those "old" feelings emotions, beliefs or whatever to become stagnated in our minds we will then find ourselves in a uncomfortable state of being.If we are to fully express the perfection or reflection that we call our ego self I truly believe we must first learn to cleanse our minds from all the "old" hurtful stuff. It sounds easy to do but as you probably know by now it surely isnt easy.As a matter of fact it will be one of the hardest things we ever have to do to become fully recognizant of "who" and "what" we are.The Science of Mind Textbook shares this quote with us:It is only as we allow the Divine current to flow through us on and out, that we really express life. The law of giving and receiving is definite. So may I suggest that the next time you feel unconnected, under loved and under appreciated and all else negative that you take a moment and learn to clear your mind and find out exactly what your "triggers" are that cause you so much pain and sorrow. And I think you will be surprised to find that most of the triggers are caused by "old" hurts and memories.And once you become aware of the real "problem" then you can begin work on solving them. Try it and see if that may help.I mean what do ya have to lose other than feelings of being miserable at times.And try and remember what David Fabricius once said of himself:"I am a river, not a swamp." We are all "rivers" of the Divine Current of life so live each moment and let your love light shine! And today if you will, do something really nice for someone just because you can! "HUGS"

WAITING TO BE HAPPY?

Are you maybe one of those folks who is just waiting fro something to change so you can at last be happy?Well, I hope not! Instead I would hope that you are a person who can truthfully say right now that you are happy no matter the circumstances you find yourself in at the moment. I believe that many times we waste our time and energy "trying" to be happy, instead of just letting go and "being" happy.So if you are by chance waiting for something to "make" you happy may I suggest that you drop all expectations as to what would make you happy and instead go on and reach deep within and "see" and "allow" the happiness that already resides within your heart to express fully and freely right now right here! As Deepak Chopra has written: Nothing creates more unhappiness than failed expectations....... expectations are an attempt to control the future. And as we all should know by now trying to control the future to meet all our expectations can only cause much heartache and broken dreams. Go ahead my friends--Live today for everything it already is! Joy love peace good times etc I now leave you with thoughts of pure and perfect love to you and yours. May each moment given freely to you by the "ONE MIND" be a moment of joy to you and everyone you touch!

GREAT SPIRITS

One of my all time favorite people is Albert Einstein. Even tho I never met the man or was around him he still remains a favorite. If I could talk to any person from any era old Albert would be high on my list. Not only was Einstein a genious he was truly a gifted man in many areas of life.He had a knack of really listening to the "ONE MIND" of all creation to find the answers he was seeking at any given time.And of course being a thinker of things outside the box caused many to label him as "odd", "a dreamer" or just plain crazy. I love many quotes from old Albert but my fav is the following:  "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." How true Mr Einstein how true! So I hope all of you shall continue on your own personal path to enlightenment even when others would oppose you in your endeavors. When anyone tries to tell you you cant do this or you cant do that or you cant believe this or you cant believe that just remember what old Mr Einstein stated years ago.....great spirits mediocre minds...... Here's to hoping all of you wonderful folks have gotten the new year off to a flying start and that it will remain a year filed with love peace hope joy and enlightenment!

OOPS

On my previous post about the ThriftStorePoets I made a couple of mistakes.@ of the links I gave you were wrong but I have corrected them and you should be able to use all of them now. And secondly I said Chris's wife sang backup but it is his daughter-in-law who is the backup vocals.Give  my buddy Chris a listen and Im sure he would apreciate hearing from you if just to say hi.
