Mystics from all ages have talked about spiritual practice as a doorway to greater experience; a doorway that leads us to a deeper understanding of the unseen. Yet, for most of us, the idea of spiritual practice just feels like adding another burden to our already busy lives. We don't have a culture of spiritual practice, and often, we aren't even sure what that means.
Lots of talking heads. That was my first impression. Lots of folks no one knows, and a few who are known, talking about motivation. Not the most exciting format. Motivation, success thinking, and goal setting are fine topics and, when you put a lot of effort in, they work. But they are not the same as law of attraction – an entirely different philosophy. Law of attraction is a spiritual teaching with roots in the very ancient Vedas. Presently, the most popular teachers of law of attraction are Esther and Jerry Hicks, and Abraham.
I was leading my twice monthly Law of Attraction Study Group and found myself explaining the Pie Theory of Life. This is pie, like in pizza. Not Pi like in math. Most of us believe in the Pie Theory without even knowing it. It is sort of ingrained in us by our western culture, and it goes something like, "If I have abundance in my life it means I have taken someone else's abundance because there is really only a fixed amount of good to spread among all of us."
We are always creating our reality by our thoughts. Energy is always flowing where we give our attention. When we feel we are ‘stuck’, we are unconsciously re-creating the same situation for our selves over and over. It is like a car that is stuck in snow – the wheels are moving, the engine is ...
When I wanted a Benz and had no idea how to get one nor money, I would get in my rusty, beat up, bent up Hyundai and say to myself, "I love driving my Benz!" "I'm so lucky to have this beautiful car!" I just pretended - in every way I could think of - whenever I thought of it - that I was driving a Benz.
Get yourself a nice notebook – one that you can write in and make notes. Let it be one that makes you feel good when you look at it. Then follow the steps below. 1. Make a list of all the qualities you want your partner to have – looks, personality, job, attitudes, etc. Make it as long as you can continue to think of things. Look back at your previous relationships and include all the good qualities people in your past have had. Come back and add to it as you think of more qualities.
I was out having dinner with four other women a few evenings ago and the conversation turned, as it usually does, to men. One of us was in a committed relationship, two of us were ‘looking’, and one said she was celibate. We asked her why she was “now practicing celibacy,” as she put it. The answer was the frequently heard diatribe about men. You know, the negativity that a lot of women spew – men are all ‘this’, men are never ‘that’, they always blah, blah, blah . . . So she feels she will find better quality men by being celibate.
A lot of us like to think that the Bible is the original, absolute, inviolate word of God. But that comes into question when we realize that many of the biblical stories occur in other, older religions. According to academia, there are at least 32 stories of other virgin births in ancient cultures of bygone eras. The legends of the surrounding pagan cultures were so influential in the first century that the Early Church was forced to imitate and incorporate them to have their 'new' Christian religion accepted.
Make resolutions that are more about how you want to be – how you want to relate to the world – than about specific changes in behavior. They should be spiritual goals. Changes in behavior don’t last unless preceded by a change in consciousness. New Years Resolutions, to be effective, must be ...
Continued from Part 1: The 9 ways we create unconsciously: 6. Momentum from the recent past in this life Manifesting, from the time we think or feel a powerful thought to the time we experience our creation, can take a while. Sometimes, even though we have changed our thoughts and beliefs ...
This article is based on the following questio I was recently asked: "One thing that seems consistent with my various readings over the years is the issue of gratitude. As someone who's grown up and currently lives in a land of plenty, I realize that I take a lot of things for granted. So it's from this perspective that I ask these questions: Why should I be grateful? And to whom should I be grateful?
“If I get to pick what I want to do, then it's play... nif someone else tells me that I have to do it, nthen it's work.” Some folks are good at creating relationships, some at creating money. One thing I’ve always been able to do easily is create wonderful jobs for myself. Over the years, I’ve ...
Law of attraction tells us that when we are feeling good, we are attracting more of all the things that make us feel good. Our task, then, is to find ways to feel good, or at least better than we were feeling. Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey have run a series of three studies on the ability of flowers to lift our moods. The results of the first study were so positive that they went on to do two more and to develop new hypotheses about how we interact with flowers.
