FORGIVENESS IS THE GATEWAY TO ANSWERED PRAYER


FORGIVENESS IS THE GATEWAY TO ANSWERED PRAYER
By: Gregory Dickow & Mind Power 365


Faith works when you refuse to hold anything against anyone, FORGIVENESS IS THE GATEWAY TO ANSWERED PRAYER. Refuse to let the poison of unforgiveness defile you and those around you. Do not let a day go by holding bitter feelings towards anyone. (Gregory Dickow)

Let it all go. Get rid of all bitterness, resentment, anger, jealousy, hatred, fear, animosity, and forgive. You will truly be amazed how your life will change if you hold to this rule.

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret

From The Secret Daily Teachings
The law of attraction cannot change anything in your life that you hate, because hate prevents the change from coming. Since the law is giving us exactly what we are putting out, when you hate something the law must continue to give you more of what you hate. You will not be able to move away from it. Love is the only way.
If you focus completely on the things you love, then you are on your way to a beautiful life.

May the joy be with you,

Rhonda Byrne

Word of the day: Effectivity By Mind Power 365

Word of the day: Effectivity
By: Mind Power 365

People often confuse activity with effectivity, believeing the busier they are the more they are getting done. Successful people realize that it is effectivity that really counts. A person can be busy all day long, but if they are not doing the right things or making mistakes it is all to no avail. Focus on being effective in everything you do. Sometimes less is really more.
Work smarter not harder as the old wise saying goes.

What would make you more effective today? Feel free to leave your comments.

Positive Focus By: Mind Power 365


Positive Focus
By: MInd Power 365

Successful people have their mind trained to think & focus only on what they want to happen in their lives. One way of doing this is writing out self affirmations to read every morning before you start your day & every night before you go to sleep. Doing this keeps you focused. When you write out the affirmations make ...sure you use the present tense for example "I AM Successful" "I AM Helping Others" "I AM Very Effective in all that I do" " I AM Attracting Positive people into my life everyday" "I Am Full of Happiness" Say your affirmation list aloud with feeling & emotion visualizing actually being the affirmations. Feel free to leave your comments.

Scroll Nine - Self-Discipline
By: Napolean Hill

Self-discipline, or self-control, means
taking possession of your own mind.

The power of thought is the only thing over which any
human being has complete unquestionable control.
We have the power of self-determination,
the ability to choose what our thoughts and actions will be.
If you direct your thought and control your emotions,
you will ordain your destiny.
Take charge of your life. You are what you think!

Direct your thoughts,

Let go and LOVE By: Mind Power 365


Let Go and LOVE
By: Mind Power 365


It feeds on you, the parasite of your mind. The Ego refuses to let go, but there’s no room for Love with it choking you with both hands. Years of suffacating, years of starvation for just one moment of the true you to say hello. How do you let go of the Ego? Your past is breakfast, your future lunch, & your true peace ...it endulges for dinner. Stop feeding it. Stop grocery shopping NOW. Unselfish LOVE the only cure, take your medicine NOW. Let go and LOVE.

YOU are Beautiful
By: Mind Power 365

We want, we crave, as though we will starve without the external or material possesions. For who are we? We fool ourselves into thinking we own something, we fool ourselves thinking that it makes us something to possess. But could it be the possessor it actually the possessed? The master actually the slave? A slave to ...something that doesn’t even exist? Love knows better. Get a full refund on the illusion, for YOU are YOU already…and YOU are Beautiful.

When will it be enough? By: Travis Mcbride



When will it be enough?
By: Travis Mcbride

Always wanting more doesn't allow you to enjoy what you have today. Stop letting tomorrow’s blessings be the platform for the next day’s wants and needs. When will it be enough? Eventually, it “not being enough” will emotionally exhuast you. Have gratitude for what you have right NOW. If you do this, you will appreciate future blessings much more.

MOST ILLNESS BEGINS WITH A NEGATIVE MIND By:The Napolean Foundation


MOST ILLNESS BEGINS WITH A NEGATIVE MIND.
By: The Napolean Foundation

It’s been proven again and again. Hypochondriacs, people who are convinced that they are sick even though nothing is wrong with them, experience the exact symptoms of the actual illness. For them, the illness is just as real as if their bodies were ravaged by disease. It is also possible to make yourself ill through constant worry and fear of failure, because the mind constantly strives to turn into reality the things we think about most. Protect your mental health with the same care you give your physical body. Just as your body requires healthy, nourishing foods, and a balanced diet, so does your mind.
Make sure you feed it plenty of positive thoughts.

No One By:Mind Power 356


No One
By:Mind Power 356


Balance the Key to Relationships:
When 1 Loves more than the other, the relationship gives birth to fear. Fear invites anger which is the cousin of pain. Once this family of emotions arrives in your relationship, it repels happiness. Love is no longer Love when it yields to doubt, doubt becomes selfishness then possess...iveness. The see-saw has become tilted & out of balance. Destruction of the union begins with the 1 becoming 2.
When there’s no balance there’s no-1.

For the mountains move, success arrives, & the light turns on. Faith the vehicle, persistence the weapon, desire the flame. We attract the things we are. Stillness gives way to focus.

Love is The NOW
By: Mind Power 365


Let Love be your center. Wrap your life around it. Love is balance so if it’s your center you will be in balance. When I say Love, I don’t mean it in a romantic sense. Love is accepting everyone & everything around you for the way that it is without judgement. When you wrap yourself around this Love, inside you will be... light & at peace. You are saying to the Universe I am ready for all good to come to me. Deep inside the center of
 Love is The NOW.

Be in the moment & never work against it.
By: Mind Power 365



 
Nonforgiveness & unacceptance give birth to many forms of pain & fear. When these emotions are present, the mind is out of balance focusing on either the past or future. Shifting attention to the present moment removes the power and intensity of these emotions. Every step you take towards The NOW is a step closer to healing & wholeness.
Time is your enemy, but The NOW is your ally.
 Be in the moment & never work against it.

From Love or Above By: Mind Power 365

From Love or Above
By: Mind Power 365


To feel God & experience the Divine presence you must be functioning at a high level of mental consciousness, from Love & above. Functioning out of lower levels such as pride, anger, guilt, shame, selfishness, doubt, fear, etc. blocks the Divine. The power to heal, attract, understand, inspire, help others, & to experience true peace comes only from being in a state of Love or above.

Finding Your Soulmate
By: Mind Power 365

Before U find your soulmate U must first discover yourself. When U are not whole U have very little to offer to anyone else but the past baggage & drama that U haven’t released. When U can be happy alone with just yourself U will truly be ready for your soulmate. Being at peace with yourself let’...s the Universe know U are ready. Wholeness & your being complete will attract them. So the key is to not find them, but to find yourself.

Scroll Eight - Enthusiasm By: The Napolean Hill Foundation


Scroll Eight - Enthusiasm
By: The Napolean Hill Foundation


Enthusiasm is a state of mind.
It inspires action and is the most contagious of all emotions.

Enthusiasm is a combination of mental and physical energy
which is seldom found in an ailing body.
It thrives best where sound physical health abounds.
Sound health begins with the development
and maintenance of health consciousness,
just as economic success begins with
prosperity consciousness.

To be enthusiastic - act enthusiastically!

Prisoner of The Mind By: Travis McBride


Prisoner of The Mind
By: Travis McBride

Stop being a prisoner of your mind. To have true mind power you must stop giving your thoughts about the past and worries about the future so much power over you current emotional well being. You lock yourself up when you replay the past or worry about what might happen. Stop being the conductor of such a distasteful m...usical ensemble. Instead, become an objective audience, ‘watch and listen to your thinker.’ Can you see and hear what a lousy conductor you have become? Begin orchestrating peace and enlightenment by ‘being in the now,’ and ‘not minding’ the noise of your past and the irrational assumptions about your future.

NO ONE COULD RIDE A HORSE IF THE HORSE DISCOVERED ITS REAL STRENGTH. THE SAME THING IS TRUE FOR PEOPLE


NO ONE COULD RIDE A HORSE IF THE HORSE DISCOVERED ITS REAL STRENGTH. THE SAME THING IS TRUE FOR PEOPLE.
By: The Napolean Hill Foundation


Horses are massive, gentle creatures who are by far larger and stronger than the men and women who handle them, yet they docilely obey the commands they are given. It doesn’t seem logical that a large, powerful animal would allow itself to be mastered by a human being, yet we have been able to use our intelligence to dominate the animal kingdom. You can use these same forces to allow the positive side of yourself to dominate the negative. A Positive Mental Attitude allows you to tap the source of great power that resides within you, enabling you to accomplish things you never before believed were possible.

Each of us is attracting in every moment of our lives. So when you feel that the law isn't working for you because you don't have what you want, realize that the law is responding to you. You are either attracting what you want or you are attracting the absence of what you want.
The law is still working.

Levels of Consciousness By: Steve Pavlina

Levels of Consciousness
By: Steve Pavlina

In the book Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins, there’s a hierarchy of levels of human consciousness. It’s an interesting paradigm. If you read the book, it’s also fairly easy to figure out where you fall on this hierarchy based on your current life situation.

From low to high, the levels of consciousness are: shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, pride, courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace, enlightenment.

While we can pop in and out of different levels at various times, usually there’s a predominant “normal” state for us. If you’re reading this blog, chances are you’re at least at the level of courage because if you were at a lower level, you’d likely have no conscious interest in personal growth.

I’ll go over these levels in order, mostly focusing on the ones between courage and reason, since that’s the range where you’re most likely to land. The labels are Hawkins’. The descriptions of each level are based on Hawkins’ descriptions but blended with my own thoughts. Hawkins defines this as a logarithmic scale, so there are far fewer people at the higher levels than at the lower ones. An increase from one level to another will result in enormous change in your life.

Shame – Just a step above death. You’re probably contemplating suicide at this level. Either that or you’re a serial killer. Think of this as self-directed hatred.

Guilt – A step above shame, but you still may be having thoughts of suicide. You think of yourself as a sinner, unable to forgive yourself for past transgressions.

Apathy – Feeling hopeless or victimized. The state of learned helplessness. Many homeless people are stuck here.

Grief – A state of perpetual sadness and loss. You might drop down here after losing a loved one. Depression. Still higher than apathy, since you’re beginning to escape the numbness.

Fear – Seeing the world as dangerous and unsafe. Paranoia. Usually you’ll need help to rise above this level, or you’ll remain trapped for a long time, such as in an abusive relationship.

Desire – Not to be confused with setting and achieving goals, this is the level of addiction, craving, and lust — for money, approval, power, fame, etc. Consumerism. Materialism. This is the level of smoking and drinking and doing drugs.

Anger – the level of frustration, often from not having your desires met at the lower level. This level can spur you to action at higher levels, or it can keep you stuck in hatred. In an abusive relationship, you’ll often see an anger person coupled with a fear person.

Pride – The first level where you start to feel good, but it’s a false feeling. It’s dependent on external circumstances (money, prestige, etc), so it’s vulnerable. Pride can lead to nationalism, racism, and religious wars. Think Nazis. A state of irrational denial and defensiveness. Religious fundamentalism is also stuck at this level. You become so closely enmeshed in your beliefs that you see an attack on your beliefs as an attack on you.

Courage – The first level of true strength. I’ve made a previous post about this level: Courage is the Gateway. This is where you start to see life as challenging and exciting instead of overwhelming. You begin to have an inkling of interest in personal growth, although at this level you’ll probably call it something else like skill-building, career advancement, education, etc. You start to see your future as an improvement upon your past, rather than a continuation of the same.

Neutrality – This level is epitomized by the phrase, “live and let live.” It’s flexible, relaxed, and unattached. Whatever happens, you roll with the punches. You don’t have anything to prove. You feel safe and get along well with other people. A lot of self-employed people are at this level. A very comfortable place. The level of complacency and laziness. You’re taking care of your needs, but you don’t push yourself too hard.

Willingness – Now that you’re basically safe and comfortable, you start using your energy more effectively. Just getting by isn’t good enough anymore. You begin caring about doing a good job — perhaps even your best. You think about time management and productivity and getting organized, things that weren’t so important to you at the level of neutrality. Think of this level as the development of willpower and self-discipline. These people are the “troopers” of society; they get things done well and don’t complain much. If you’re in school, then you’re a really good student; you take your studies seriously and put in the time to do a good job. This is the point where your consciousness becomes more organized and disciplined.

Acceptance – Now a powerful shift happens, and you awaken to the possibilities of living proactively. At the level of willingness you’ve become competent, and now you want to put your abilities to good use. This is the level of setting and achieving goals. I don’t like the label “acceptance” that Hawkins uses here, but it basically means that you begin accepting responsibility for your role in the world. If something isn’t right about your life (your career, your health, your relationship), you define your desired outcome and change it. You start to see the big picture of your life more clearly. This level drives many people to switch careers, start a new business, or change their diets.

Reason – At this level you transcend the emotional aspects of the lower levels and begin to think clearly and rationally. Hawkins defines this as the level of medicine and science. The way I see it, when you reach this level, you become capable of using your reasoning abilities to their fullest extent. You now have the discipline and the proactivity to fully exploit your natural abilities. You’ve reached the point where you say, “Wow. I can do all this stuff, and I know I must put it to good use. So what’s the best use of my talents?” You take a look around the world and start making meaningful contributions. At the very high end, this is the level of Einstein and Freud. It’s probably obvious that most people never reach this level in their entire lives.

Love – I don’t like Hawkins’ label “love” here because this isn’t the emotion of love. It’s unconditional love, a permanent understanding of your connectedness with all that exists. Think compassion. At the level of reason, you live in service to your head. But that eventually becomes a dead end where you fall into the trap of over-intellectualizing. You see that you need a bigger context than just thinking for its own sake. At the level of love, you now place your head and all your other talents and abilities in service to your heart (not your emotions, but your greater sense of right and wrong — your conscience). I see this as the level of awakening to your true purpose. Your motives at this level are pure and uncorrupted by the desires of the ego. This is the level of lifetime service to humanity. Think Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Dr. Albert Schweitzer. At this level you also begin to be guided by a force greater than yourself. It’s a feeling of letting go. Your intuition becomes extremely strong. Hawkins claims this level is reached only by 1 in 250 people during their entire lifetimes.

Joy – A state of pervasive, unshakable happiness. Eckhart Tolle describes this state in The Power of Now. The level of saints and advanced spiritual teachers. Just being around people at this level makes you feel incredible. At this level life is fully guided by synchronicity and intuition. There’s no more need to set goals and make detailed plans — the expansion of your consciousness allows you to operate at a much higher level. A near-death experience can temporarily bump you to this level.

Peace – Total transcendence. Hawkins claims this level is reached only by one person in 10 million.

Enlightenment – The highest level of human consciousness, where humanity blends with divinity. Extremely rare. The level of Krishna, Buddha, and Jesus. Even just thinking about people at this level can raise your consciousness.

I think you’ll find this model worthy of reflection. Not only people but also objects, events, and whole societies can be ranked at these levels. Within your own life, you’ll see that some parts of your life are at different levels than others, but you should be able to identify your current overall level. You might be at the level of neutrality overall but still be addicted to smoking (level of desire). The lower levels you find within yourself will serve as a drag that holds the rest of you back. But you’ll also find higher levels in your life. You may be at the level of acceptance and read a book at the level of reason and feel really inspired. Think about the strongest influences in your life right now. Which ones raise your consciousness? Which ones lower it?

One thing I like about these levels of consciousness is that I can trace back over my own life and see how I’ve been moving through them. I remember being stuck at the level of guilt for a long time – as a child I was indoctrinated into a belief system where I was a helpless sinner, being judged according to the standards of someone at the level of love or higher. From there I graduated to the state of apathy, feeling numb to the whole thing. By high school I had reached the level of pride — I was a straight-A student, captain of the Academic Decathlon team, showered with accolades and awards, but I became dependent on them. I hit the level of Courage in my late teens, but the courage was very unfocused, and I overdid it and got myself into all sorts of trouble. I then spent about a year in neutrality and moved through willingness and acceptance during my 20s with a lot of conscious effort. At present I’m at the level of reason and getting closer and closer to completing the leap to love. I experience the state of love more and more often, and it’s guiding many of my decisions already, but it hasn’t yet stuck as my natural state. I’ve also experienced the state of joy for days at a time, but never with any permanence yet. That state is a pervasive feeling of natural euphoria, as if I’m exploding on the inside with positive energy. It literally forces me to smile. I’ve been in that state for most of this morning, probably because I haven’t eaten anything yet today (I find it easier to hit that state of consciousness when I eat lightly or not at all).

We’ll naturally fluctuate between multiple states throughout the course of any given week, so you’ll probably see a range of 3-4 levels where you spend most of your time. One way to figure out your “natural” state is to think about how you perform under pressure. If you squeeze an orange, you get orange juice because that’s what’s inside. What comes out of you when you get squeezed by external events? Do you become paranoid and shut down (fear)? Do you start yelling at people (anger)? Do you become defensive (pride)? What happens to me under pressure is that I become hyper-analytical, but recently I just had a pressure situation where I handled it mostly by intuition, which was a big change for me. This tells me I’m getting close to the unconditional love state because in that state, intuition can be effectively accessed even under pressure.

Everything in your environment will have an effect on your level of consciousness. TV. Movies. Books. Web sites. People. Places. Objects. Food. If you’re at the level of reason, watching TV news (which is predominantly at the levels of fear and desire) will temporarily lower your consciousness. If you’re at the level of guilt, TV news will actually raise it up.

Progressing from one level to the next requires an enormous amount of energy. I wrote about this previously when discussing quantum leaps. Without conscious effort or the help of others, you’ll likely just stay at your current level until some outside force comes into your life.

Notice the natural progression of levels, and consider what happens when you try to short-cut the process. If you try to reach the level of reason before mastering self-discipline (willingness) and goal-setting (acceptance), you’ll be too disorganized and unfocused to use your mind to its full extent. If you try to push yourself to the level of love before you’ve mastered reason, you’ll suffer from gullibility and may end up in a cult.

Going up even one level can be extremely hard; most people don’t do so in their entire lives. A change in just one level can radically alter everything in your life. This is why people below the level of courage aren’t likely to progress without external help. Courage is required to work on this consciously; it comes down to repeatedly betting your whole reality for the chance to become more conscious and aware. But whenever you reach that next level, you realize clearly that it was a good bet. For example, when you hit the level of courage, all your past fears and false pride seem silly to you now. When you reach the level of acceptance (setting and achieving goals), you look back on the level of willingness and see you were like a mouse running on a treadmill — you were a good runner, but you didn’t pick a direction.

I think the most important work we can do as human beings is to raise our individual level of consciousness. When we do this, we spread higher levels of consciousness to everyone around us. Imagine what an incredible world this would be if we could at least get everyone to the level of acceptance. According to Hawkins 85% of the people on earth live below the level of courage.

When you temporarily experience the higher levels, you can see where you must go next. You have one of those moments of clarity where you understand that things have to change. But when you sink into the lower levels, that memory becomes clouded.

We have to keep consciously taking ourselves back to the sources that can help us complete the next leap. Each step requires different solutions. I recall when making the shift from neutrality to willingness, I listened to time management tapes almost every day. I immersed myself in sources created by people at the level of willingness until I eventually shifted. But a book on time management will be of little use to someone who’s at the level of pride; they’ll reject the very notion with a lot of defensiveness. And time management is meaningless to someone at the level of peace. But you can’t hit the higher levels if you haven’t mastered the basics first. Jesus was a carpenter. Gandhi was a lawyer. Buddha was a prince. We all have to start somewhere.

Look at this hierarchy with an open mind and see if it leads you to new insights that may help you take the next leap in your own life. No levels are any more right or wrong than others. Try not to get your ego wrapped up in the idea of being at any particular level, unless you’re currently at the level of pride of course.

Be kind and DON’T rewind By: Travis McBride


Be kind and DON’T rewind.
By: Travis McBride

Stop requesting instant replays of your most painful memories & mistakes. Do you expect the memory to change? Can you erase the mistake or change the outcome by replaying it over & over? Do you like the feelings these instant replays trigger? You only attract more pain & suffering when you do this. Instead, ask yourself what you want, believe, have faith & press play. Be kind and DON’T rewind.
