Prayer and Worry

As a daily discipline for at least a week, take time for prayer. Some days it may be for only a minute or two; on other occasions it may be for more lengthy periods. Experiment with the four types of prayer:

Confession: Recognizing and admitting, without guilty feelings, the current state of your life

Thanksgiving: Expressing appreciation for the blessings of your life

Petition: Out of the spirit of your highest ideal, asking for what you feel you need

Praise: Communicating the wonder and awe you feel when you consider the Creator.

By the end of the week, notice whether you can observe any changes in the amount of time and energy you spend on worrying.

Unblocking the Flow of Abundance

The flow of abundance can get blocked at any one of six steps:

  1. Clarify your purpose. Have a clear sense of what your life is about and what you value most.
  2. Look for lessons in your areas of shortage. The aspects of your life where there is a lack exist to teach you something.
  3. Learn to be grateful for what you do have. Move beyond distorted perceptions and see clearly the parts of your life where you are greatly blessed.
  4. Give what you can. By joyfully and freely giving, you redefine yourself as someone whose life is abundant.
  5. Expect and accept the good that comes to you. Be alert to the necessary resources in whatever form they may come—expected or unexpected.
  6. Giving and receiving build community. Be open to building or reinforcing interpersonal relations based on mutual care.

Look over the list of six points. Which one of them seems weakest in your life? That is, which one is most in need of further application? Make a personal commitment to do something about it and follow through with your resolution.

our impact on others is more powerful than we may ever suspect

Image result for Salvation is not an external event bestowed upon us but an internal process of transformation.As freewill beings and cocreators with God, we had minds with which to build, but we built thought forms and desire patterns which deviated from the Law of One. Over time these separate projections imprisoned our own consciousness. Finally, we came to a point at which we were lost; we lost awareness of our oneness with God and we lost our ability to move back to Him in consciousness. Continue reading

Book Recommendation – The Edgar Cayce Primer – Discovering the path to Self Transformation

“While Edgar Cayce may indeed be “the sleeping prophet,” Herbert Puryear is some type of angel himself in how he interprets Cayce’s work. This book is so far beyond anything I’ve read in the spiritual/New Age realm that it needs to take its place in the pantheon of all-time great non-fiction works.

As others have noted, Puryear’s tone is almost scientific, but don’t fear boredom or confusion by my using that word. Each sentence is so loaded with such profound truths and wisdoms that very often, I could only read a few paragraphs before having to put it down in order to reflect on what I’d just read. Puryear is a genius, pure and simple, and it’s his generosity of heart and spirit that gives the work a poignancy one finds in any great work of art. Believe me, it’s that good.

This will have a permanent home on my bookshelf, and I’m sure that as I read it again and again, I’ll discover buried truths I didn’t see (or wasn’t ready for) the first time around.”

Seriously, I can’t believe someone is out there who can write this well. Do yourself a favor and buy it.

Set a Spiritual Ideal to guide our motivational potential

The psychology of oneness is a call to the individual to integration within his own being. We are not whole psychologically or physically because we are not in at-one-ment in our inner selves. As we set about becoming integrated or becoming whole, we may first remember that the most important experience for all is to know what is the ideal spiritually.
