LIFE IS GOOD. AND I AM GOOD IN IT! #spiritualadvice #DivineMind #ScienceofMind #SOM #SpiritualLiving

“Life is good” is a simple statement, but a little more difficult to digest than one would hope. Life may not appear to be good to you, right now, or ever. But, life was created to be good, peaceful, harmonious, and prosperous. You do not have to look too far to see beauty in almost everything you see in nature. So, why then do we have so much trouble verbalizing these three words? I sometimes feel as if I have to choke them out of myself in the morning—before my meditation.

Some therapists would say that we must admit our problems and feel them deeply. Feel it! Grieve in it! Punch a pillow! Yadda yadda yadda. You know what? I have done plenty of grieving for any one lifetime. I have decided to drop out of the “School of Grief” and pay full-tuition to join the College of “LIFE IS GOOD!”

Recently, I realized that my morning prayer sounded as if I was pleading with the Universe to please give me what I needed! It was a big AHA moment for me to look around me and see birds fed, ducks swimming effortlessly, trees flourishing. Were they asking for anything from the universe?

In that moment, I had a flashback of when I was a child. What came up for me was this: When I was 12 years old, and my mother had been gone from the home for about three years, there were still five other siblings left at home. When we would run out of groceries, one of us children would have to ask my father for money.

My father never offered to give us money to go grocery shopping. Generally, I was the one responsible for this, even though I was second to the youngest. When I asked him, he would dig into his pocket, groan, and then throw the money on the floor for me to pick up, like a friggin’ dog! That was my first conception of asking from a parent for what I need. No wonder I feel like I have to beg the universe.

As soon as I realized that I was treating Unlimited Source like it was my angry and frugal father, I actually felt as if my body began to release this tired, old way of thinking and asking. I know it is a gradual movement for me toward letting go completely, but I have been doing my work in the school of “Life is Good,” so I believe I’m taking a new course with a brand new understanding of life.

Perhaps, you, too, have had an experience in your past that has caused you to believe that there isn’t enough for you, or there will not be enough for you in the future. It would be a great idea to uncover that old way of thinking, so that you can move on from it to your prosperity and your good life.

Join this College of “Life is Good with me.” Say to the universe, “What I see in the world is not tragedy on the news, but beautiful, harmonious, and loving nature all around me. I want to join in THIS ENERGY.

Then, resign from your old way of thinking—the old thoughts, the old school, and the old memories. Those old thoughts have taught you enough about negativity. Let’s get in a school of pure positivity now!

Smoke Screens: In the Way of Your Greatness

The literal definition of Smoke Screen is a cloud of smoke created to conceal military operations. The metaphoric definition of smoke screen is a ruse designed to disguise someone's real intentions or activities. In many places in our lives, we erect smoke screens to keep us from moving forward, growing, and unveiling the specific places in our humanity that need the most work. Why do you think your ego would want to hide the very places in your life that by making a simple change, you could emancipate from the past and grow with veracity?
I’ve asked myself this very question in light of a many revelatory moments, recently. As I have been spending more and more time writing about my past as an observer, rereading, and editing this manuscript, I’ve noticed that my relationship life looks like a merry-go-round in which I’ve made the same exact mistakes—with different faces—over and over again.
Honestly, I can’t imagine how someone who has led so many people through the woes of break-ups and coached just as many to move forward with different intentions could have missed what was so obvious in his own life. Then, I discovered that, maybe, I didn’t want to see the very place in my life that could change everything. Maybe, somewhere in my subconscious, I constructed a very powerful smokescreen so that I couldn’t see what where I was stuck. Maybe, I didn’t think I was good enough or was simply frightened of what fame or money would do to me. So, I made it difficult to remove the smoke screen.
So, I asked myself some pertinent questions:
  • What is keeping me from my greatest good?
  • What would I do for a living if money wasn’t an object?
  • If I found the perfect mate, would I settle down now into a stable relationship?
  • Most importantly, why do I keep thinking that a “certain type” of person will make a difference in the peace and happiness of my life?
The question I want to focus in on in this discovery is the last one. What I noticed in my meditations is what was most revealing. Every time I begin to think about the power I would need from Source to generate through me to get to my goal, I end thinking about relationships—not just any relationship, in general—but the worst ones.
I use a device in meditation called an Insight Timer. This device can be downloaded on your cellular phone. It rings a bell or sounds a gong every few minutes to keep you conscious while you meditate. It’s a great device for people who tend to fall asleep when they get relaxed in meditation.
What I noticed was that I would initially focus on connecting to Infinite Source and set my intention, but by the time the gong sounded for my next interval, my mind would be thinking about relationship.
Now, you have to realize that when you are in meditation, you get a very clear picture of where your subconscious is stuck. As of this moment, I have never been more focused on what I want to create in this world. So, as my intention grows, my discovery of this apparent smoke screen in my life becomes clearer and clearer. What I realized is that I have more of a desire to be in relationship, than I have a desire to be what God has intended me to be on this earth! That’s a huge revelation!
But—the big butt—relationship has never, ever brought me peace in my entire life. Yet, I continue to seek it with the hunger of an infant in the middle of the night. This desire was my smoke screen to keep from my greatest good. Tune in tomorrow to find out how to remove these powerful smoke screens!

What Keeps You from Your Greatness? #prayer

Most of us immediately think the answer to this question is probably some kind of bad behavior or negative thinking. I have been leaning on this presumption for my entire life, always trying to eradicate the negative, so I can invite more positive thinking into my life. However, sometimes I need to go back and reread the directions to make sure I am praying according to the One Divine Law and not praying amiss. So, when I operate on the correct premise, what I have in mind—whether positive or negative beliefs—WILL PRODUCE IN KIND!
Let’s use a metaphor to create an understanding of Divine Law. I plugged in my stove into an electrical outlet. I turned on the burner and placed a pot of cold water on the burner. I let the water boil. I placed in the water some uncooked pasta. Then, I cooked the pasta, to create a fabulous Italian meal, with leftovers.
We have many laws working together to cause the effect of the boiling water and secondary effect of the beautiful meal. These laws are, metaphorically, the same laws as affirming intentions for our lives. Let’s take a closer look:
First, we have Divine Power that we will relate to the electrical current causing the stove to get hot. Second, we have a stove, which acts as a medium for the electrical current. Third, we have a person who must turn on the power. Fourth, we have the pot of cold water, which is the idea. Fifth, we must wait for the pot of water to boil. Sixth, we have the boiling water, which is the primary effect. Seventh, we have a secondary effect, the boiled pasta. Eighth, we have the completed meal, the desired effect. Lastly, we may have some leftovers for some days to come.
Let’s look at this metaphorically in terms of Praying According to Divine Law:
  1. Divine Power (Electrical Current): Everything and everyone is connected to Divine Power. The bible says that we were created in the image of it. The Apostle Paul said that we can do all things through It. So, we must acknowledge this important understanding of the greatest Law of all—God—or Eternal Existence. (I’m not opposed to you calling this power anything you wish, as long as it doesn’t make this power smaller than it is.)
  2. Consciousness (the conduit—the stove): For Divine Power to have an effect in this world, it must have a source or conduit to move through. You, precious Being, are that conduit. Let’s call this source your Highest Self or Consciousness.
  3. Your Individualized Self (the person turning on the stove): For you to be a conduit for the Divine Mind, you must agree to the law that “by turning on the stove, you will get the power to heat the pot of water.” (Notice, I did not say that you must understand the miracle of electricity, how it works, or why it comes to you directly from the outlet. You simply understand the one, basic principle, that by turning on the stove you get heat.) This concept is neither good, nor bad.
  4. The Idea Itself. (the pot of cold water): When the law of electricity is turned on by you, and you add to it an idea (the pot of water), you now have created an instance in your life where you have put the power of law (electricity) to work. This is called an intention.
  5. Salivating: You know that, eventually, you will have a meal. You even can taste the pasta before it ever becomes real, causing your body to salivate. Let’s call this the (thanking stage of the process), where you say, “I love Italian Food. Thank you, God, for creating tomatoes and sweet basil!”
  6. Wait and Release: No matter how much you desire for that pot to boil, watching or forcing it will not help. Divine Law must do the work. So, you must (release your control into the hands of the law, which you believe will work).
  7. The Effect (the pot of boiling water): When the law of electricity is turned on, by means of the stove’s power to heat it, it automatically creates the effect of the boiling pot of water. (Notice, again, I have not said that any of this is either good or bad. I have not done so, because this law works whether you leave the pot on the stove too long and burn your meal, or if you use it to boil the best pasta ever to make a perfect Italian meal. Both effects come from the same cause.)
  8. The Secondary Effect (touching the pot): When you set Divine Law into motion, It creates an effect. If you don’t understand the effect, such as a curious child wanting to touch everything he sees—reaching out to touch the hot pot will result in another, secondary effect: a burned finger.
  9. Intention: Say you have set out to create this perfect meal using the law, but you left the water boil for too long and had mushy pasta. You may want to go over the process one more time, tweak it, read the directions again, and correct your misperception about how long the pasta should cook. I would recommend doing this aloud! (Intentions are basically telling yourself that the truth works, until you see it manifest perfectly in your life.) Sometimes, it takes practice to see results. Intentions invite your mind to believe that the process will always manifest a result according to your belief.
Now, I will show you how you can use this Divine Law to your benefit by praying in accordance with It, rather than praying amiss.
When you desire something in your life, let’s say it’s a new job, here is what you must do to work with Divine Law to manifest what you have believed in your mind. (I will remind you in parenthetical phrases the metaphor I have used above to help you understand the directions more clearly.)
  1. You must first acknowledge the Divine Law works (electricity creates heat), without distinction or judgment.
  2. You must acknowledge that (you) hold the power—as a conduit.
  3. Then you must plug into this Divine Law (the stove).
  4. Set the law into motion by creating a positive intention (turning on the stove.) An simple example would be to say: “Divine Law always works. I am a conduit of this law. I set the intention that the perfect job will come to me now.”
  5. Choose the words carefully so that you use the law to your benefit by stating your truth in present tense, without limiting this power. (Imagining your delicious dinner before you ever start cooking down to the details of the spices and the cooking time.) See your perfect job in your mind, clearly, specifically, and actually imagine sitting at your new desk ready for your new job.
  6. Thank God for this Divine Law and your desired outcome: the job (salivating and thanking God for tomatoes and basil).
  7. Wait and Release your intention to Divine Law! By setting into motion this power through your intention (plugging into source and placing the pot on the stove to boil the water for the pasta), the law of this action must now create the desired effect. It cannot do otherwise. You must release your idea into the hands of this perfect and divine truth and believe it to be so. If you keep taking the pot off of the stove and removing the pasta before its cooked, you may have to wait a lot longer for your results.
  8. Secondary Effects may be the prosperity or good self-esteem you get from this new job, because you have taken a perfectly good thought, (plugged into source and created something wonderful through you), by using this law correctly.
  9. Intentions: This is the added extra (the leftovers). You have used your intention to create the perfect job. This reminds you of your success and the use of right treatment of the law. You may now set more intentions for your amazing life, with less waiting and more manifesting!
And so it is, Beautiful Creation of God!
Coming Up: I’ll be writing more about the power of our Co-Creative Minds!
