My Mantra for Today 5/21/12

                                           Mantra: I will try to put myself in other people's shoes.

Are you addicted to the 'Plug In Drug'? An article by Dr Robert Anthony

Statistics tell us that 85% of North American households last year
did not buy one non-fiction book. Not one!  If that amazes you, here
is something even more amazing.  90% of those who bought a
non-fiction book did not read it!  Yet during that period of time
these same people spent 85 BILLION DOLLARS on movies and watched
television over 6 hours a day or 42 hours a week!

Now I can hear you say, "But Dr. A, that's not true in my
household". Perhaps. But look around and add up how many hours the
TV is running in the background, or you are flipping the remote
"just to see what's on".  Compare that to how much reading you do.  

Are you addicted to the "plug in drug"?  Both men and women are
highly addicted to this powerful drug. Men will often criticize
women for watching TV soap operas or other mindless TV programs,
but they are not immune to this drug either. Watching TV sports is
the most mindless, time wasting non-activity ever conceived by man.
Watching a group of men high on testosterone running around and
throwing a ball and screaming at the TV for hours on end is absurd.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to watch a special game or
playoff, but to spend your nights and weekends watching these games
is nothing short of being brain dead. 

The problem is we have become a nation of "watchers" instead of a
nation of "doers".  We watch people entertain, play sports and do
other activities but we rarely participate in these activities
ourselves. It wouldn't be so bad if you wanted to actually PLAY
sports and get some exercise, but to watch others do it for hours
on end is wasting thousands of hours of your life that could be
used to bring you everything you truly desire.

Here is my point.  If you don't have the riches you desire in your
life, it is a clear indicator of how you are spending your time.  I
know. You need to relax, your friends are doing it, you need to
know the "score", you need to know who is winning American Idol. 
Get serious! 

Now please don't write to me and argue the point. If you want to do
it, then be my guest, but you are "watching" your life away. If you
want more money, consider converting the time you watch TV -
probably 40 hours or more a week - into a part time business and
your income will jump through the roof. And the best part is you
will break your addiction to the "plug in drug".  It's a
win-win-win.

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT!  No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful daugther Jen Owles!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

More Than A Mother

When God set the world in place,
when He hung the stars up in space,
when He made the land and the sea,
then He made you and me.
He sat back and saw all that was good,
He saw things to be as they should.
Just one more blessing He had in store;
He created a mother, but whatever for?
He knew a mother would have a special place
to shine His reflection on her child's face.
A mother will walk the extra mile
just to see her children smile.
She'll work her fingers to the bone
to make a house into a home.
A mother is there to teach and guide,
a mother will stay right by your side.
She'll be there through your pain and strife,
she'll stay constant in your life.
A mother will lend a helping hand
until you have the strength to stand.
She'll pick you up when you are down,
when you need a friend she'll stick around.
A mother is one who listens well,
will keep her word; will never tell.
A mother never pokes or pries
but stands quietly by your side,
giving you the strength you need,
encouraging you to succeed.
A mother is one who can be strong
when you need someone to lean on.
You're more than a mother to me;
a reflection of Him in your face I see,
a love that knows no boundaries.
I'm glad that you chose to be
all this and more to me.
You share a love that knows no end,
you're more than my mother,
you are my friend.

Insight of the Day 5/9/12

"The purpose of life is not to win. The purpose of life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought into other people's lives than you will from the time that you outdid and defeated them."

Clearing energy is not difficult; in fact it is easy.

The greatest challenge of living clear and free of lesser energies is recognizing when you need to clear yourself; noticing when you are not clear. You can notice that you are not clear anytime you feel emotionally upset, depressed, angry, or confused; when your thoughts are going in circles; when you feel stressed; when you notice knots of tension in your stomach; and so on.

These states, feelings, and thoughts are not who you really are! These are all indications that the impersonal energies of mass consciousness are affecting you. You are identifying with these energies as who you are, rather than remembering your true identity as a Divine being. Rejoice whenever you become aware that you are not clear, for in the past you may have lived in unclear states for days, thinking that feeling this way was normal. Celebrate and then clear your energy.

Have a great week.
Sending you much love,

50/50 - article by Dr Robert Anthony

"She became for me an island of light, fun, wisdom where I could run with my discoveries and torments and hopes at any time of day and find welcome." - May Sarton





 Friendship is a balm during difficult times and an added joy in times of celebration. If you are lucky enough to have people in your life who have known you for many years, then you realize that there is a special kind of kinship in being known throughout your life. If your friends know you well, they can validate how you have changed and how, after all these years, you haven't. If you have permission in your friendships, they can remind you of your hidden talents and encourage you to take the chances you shy away from.

 Having a good friend is also about being one. A balanced friendship is seldom 50/50 all the time. Sometimes one person needs more than another for a while and then it switches around. However, a healthy friendship is not about one person continually being dependent on another. As you find yourself higher on the Levels of Awareness you may find that your friendships change. The people you were close to in the Victim/Struggle Level are seldom the same people you want to hang out with when you are in Deliberate Creation.

Notice today how you are a good friend. Are there ways that you could be an even better friend? That might be an interesting conversation to share with a friend you care about. "There's a special kind of freedom friends enjoy. Freedom to share innermost thoughts, to ask a favor, to show their true feelings. The freedom to simply be themselves." - Unknown

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.
