              Letting It Go

 

Sometimes the best way to

solve a problem is letting it go –

laying down the search for

solutions and simply letting

the solution find you.

 

I have been thinking about the New Thought concept often referred

to as "letting go and letting God" as I write a section of the book

about surrender. For me this has been one of the greatest challenges

in my own personal spiritual development. I started small and began

to Golden Key when I had an issue, but as time progressed and my

spiritual mission became clearer I have flirted with what my

Meditation Guidance below refers to as  "mystical surrender. "

All of this takes a spiritual leap of faith and letting go of the

reins of your life. 

 

      

          PRACTICAL AND MYSTICAL SURRENDER

 

Surrender - "Letting Go and Letting God" is a powerful

mind control technique useful on a practical level

where we release our control of an issue, problem,

or crisis and hand it over to God for resolution. This

is "practical surrender" and can also entail releasing

a difficult day or experience we are encountering to

seek on-going guidance and direction. The technique 

often used for practical surrender is to  Golden Key

the problem - a method to let God take charge of an

issue and then occupy our minds with the thought

of God whenever we feel compelled to  ruminate on

the problem or possible solutions.

 

As our faith builds and our ego learns to cooperate

we master surrender and progress to a higher levels

At the pentacle is "mystical surrender" where we

understand and trust in God's will and direction,

including our role in this spiritual journey. As

Jesus declared - not my will but thine be done.

This requires total acceptance of our individual

divinely inspired mission and willingness to let go

of  the reins of the ego and follow God's direction

and guidance.

 

Mystical surrender is often  an essential step requiring

the full acceptance of the ego in our  divine mission -

leading us to a point where all aspects of the mind -

the Operational Mind, the Ego, and the  Spiritual Mind

merge as one force ready to unite with  the universal

mind of God. Mystical surrender is a time of peace,

without resistance - fully accepting and spiritually

whole.

I have hundreds of unpublished notes that I have written for

Ann and I am starting to select a few at random each week 

to see if the messages still resonate, and if they do, publish

them on the blog. The Affirmative Thought below reminds 

us that as we give, as we meet the expectations of the world,

and at times our unrelenting egos,  we need to maintain our

own balance, our own authenticity, our own harmony.

 

        POINT OF BALANCE

 

Today find the point of balance

in your life - a place where your 

needs are met as you meet 

the expectations and needs 

of the world and those you love.

 

Today find the point of balance

where the scales allow for you 

to live authentically as you meet

the demands of your heart and 

your need for service - a place 

where you can grow spiritually,

emotionally, and tend to the

garden of your life.

 

Today find the point of balance

in your life knowing your are

whole and aligned - living in

harmony!

 

Thanks for reading.

Yesterday I posted a short note on envisioning titled Assembly 

Required and today I would like to follow-up the same

theme that purposeful directed action is also needed 

when manifesting our dreams with this Affirmative

Thought titled Directed Action.

 

              DIRECTED ACTION

 

Today let us realize that the key 

to manifesting our dreams requires

the combination of vivid imagination,

intense feelings of desire, and purposeful

directed action - for the universe will 

provide the ingredients but through our

efforts we must prepare the feast.

 

Today let us dream big and envision

our happiness in every aspect of 

our current lives - creating our 

heaven on earth from the gifts

we have already been given - utilizing

each to reveal our existing  joy,

our perfect peace, our capacity to 

love,  our lasting bliss. 

 

Today let us realize that service 

to the greater good - to a better 

life for all - to the envisioning of 

more for many as the real purpose

of our manifesting - starting in our

backyard and moving through the 

living world.

 

Thanks for reading.

     ASSEMBLY REQUIRED

 

 If you can imagine the life

of your dreams in vivid detail

with strong feelings of desire,

these dreams will open up to you

and with each imagining you

will find the components needed

for success arriving in your life.

There is only one caveat –

assembly is required –

you must act and make

something of the opportunity.  

   

In Chapter Eleven of Finding God On The Train I am outlining

techniques and approaches we can use to control our minds -

our consciousness;  including mindfulness, meditation, acceptance,

non- resistance, affirmations, and the use of what I all envisioning -

better known as visioning, imaging, imagining, and visualizing.

Most agree that envisioning what we desire in complete detail, with

strong feelings, as if it already exits,  is the cornerstone to

manifesting what we want to attract into our lives.

 

Some believe that this envisioning is all that is necessary for the

Law Of Attraction to create our desires into form.  I  side with

Thomas Troward the New Thought pioneer who once said  -

"God provides the ingredients, we have to make the dinner."

As outlined in the brief note above titled Assembly Required - 

I believe the components we need to make our vision a reality

appear through the Law Of Attraction, but we need to utilize the

opportunities and assemble the final package.

A key feature of successful mind control is the management of

the way we speak to ourselves - our self-speak. When we are

tired or not focused it is easy to allow the ego to have free

reign and literally address us in a critical way - reminding 

us of what we should be and what we are not based on the ego's

point of view. All affirmative thought is geared to negating

these attacks and retraining our errant egos. Here is an

Affirmative  Thought that will assist in the retraining process.

 

            SAY ONLY GOOD THINGS

 

Today say only good things to and about

yourself - positive things - empowering things -

words of affirmation, praise, appreciation,

and recognition to underscore all you are

and all you are becoming.

 

Today reflect only on your attributes,

talents, and accomplishments understanding

the strength and dedication you possess -

leading you to a value added life 

of purpose and potential - enabling

you and others to move towards 

a fully authentic existence.

 

Today say only words of thanks

to yourself for your strength

to overcome the internal and 

external obstacles - bending

them to your will and 

rising up victorious.

 

Encourage and promote your 

greatest asset - you!

 

Thanks for reading.

Here is an Affirmative Thought if you ever feel you need to ramp 

up the adrenalin and grab hold of your life. If we truly posses

the powers to create our lives,  then why not do it with full force,

with vim and vigor, stating what we want and going after it.  

     

GRAB HOLD OF YOUR POWER 

 

Today grab hold of your power 

to perform - lasso the world and 

bring it under control -  swing it 

around in your consciousness  

until it agrees to submit to your

desires and be transformed - 

think it into shape forcing it 

to comply to your every whim.

 

Today grab hold of your power -

face your struggles and issues 

and demand that they cooperate -

excepting only "yes" as an answer -

clearing them away to make room

for the creation of your dreams -

to make way for the life of empowered

glory - the coming to form of your

heaven on earth.

 

Today grab hold of your power -

banishing the fear, the doubt, the

worry - informing all of your emotions

and thoughts they are expected to

cooperate in the triumph of you

becoming invincible!

Ok, I stayed out too late last night, not getting home until one

in the morning on a week night. We had tickets to see Amos Lee,

my favorite singer- songwriter (who by the way is also a Philly

native ) whose soft blend of folk, blues, and rock has resulted in

his fourth album - Mission Bell - debuting at number one on the

Billboard charts. We had a great time, but  as we struggled to get

up this morning I wrote this note for both of us to underscore

the importance of just having fun. 

 

Here is one on my favorite Amos Lee tunes - Shout Out Loud.

      CELEBRATE THE DAY

 

Let us celebrate the day we can

wake up tired from too much 

fun the night before - staying 

up late enjoying the excitement

of living - experiencing the good life.

 

Let us celebrate the day we can still

pull ourselves out of a few hours 

sleep - rouse ourselves and get

going with the duties of midweek

knowing we have sung the song,

danced the dance, laughed until 

dawn - knowing we have lived 

our share of life.

 

Let us celebrate the meaningful

moments, the wondrous moments

that lift our spirits, expand our minds

and make life just plain fun!

 

Thanks for reading.

WIth love.

NO FURTHER THAN YOUR HEART

 

Search no further than your heart.

The only guidance you need to follow

is your own - the only wisdom you 

need to understand waits within 

for you to receive it - not the words

of scholars but the light of your

own divine awareness waiting

to lead you through the darkness

into the light of day.

 

Search no further than your heart.

The only path you need to treasure

is already beneath your feet -

the one you have walked on since birth - 

the one you never truly stray from

even when you are lost and search

frantically for the way - with each 

conscious step your path unfolds 

always taking you where you must go.

 

Search no further than your heart!

I often thought that those who were courageous

were also fearless, until I had the chance to meet

and work with some very courageous people.

What I found out, is that, what they had I was

missing, was the ability to move forward with

their fear in tow - to move through their doubt,

making their life happen. 

 

Ann is dealing with a major life decision

regarding her career, I can feel her excitement

at the possibility of change and new life, mixed

with the fear and doubt - the fear of failure -

the loss of a well worn and comfortable old life -

the unknown. Letting go of the bar, leaping

into the future without a net, takes courage, 

but once we release our hold, we often find

we are now truly living, fully open to receive

our magnificence.

 

This morning, I mediated and transcribed this

note for Ann, for me, and for any of us who are

flying over our potential and need to release 

our grip and soar. 

 

          WHAT COURAGE IS

 

Today let us realize that courage

    is not the absence of fear but 

moving forward through our

    fear - pushing beyond our doubt

and stepping into the future

    waiting for us to arrive.

 

Today let us realize that courage 

    is an act of will based on 

our divine knowing - our faith

    in what is unseen but waiting

for us to simply reach out.

 

Today let us realize that courage

    is supported by all who have lived 

to show us how to rise above  

    fear and be reborn - to face

the worse only to find the best -

    to ascend to our full potential -

our heaven on earth. 

 

Leap and Live!

 

AT 7.12.11

 

With love, G.

Ann and I have been adding a deck to our house and it entails

breaking through our dining room wall and putting in  french

doors with a clear glass transom window over top. The project

that was to take  a week is now going into the seventh week and

to top it off we found out late last week that the custom door was 

bowed and would need to be reordered and replaced. The house

is in a state of chaos and we have quickly followed suit.

 

Honestly, we have have handled ourselves well up to this point

and have been very patient as one delay after the other appeared

on the horizon. Our patience bowed with the door and we reverted

to what has seemed to work so well in the past - falling into a tizzy -

getting angry - and clearly letting everyone involved, and some

who were not,  know how unhappy we were. Guess what - a door

still takes three weeks to be built and delivered.

 

So this week I wrote the Affirmative  Note below titled Every Action

to help us regain our balance and take a new approach when life

does not want  to give us exactly what we want or need - as it

sometimes does.

 

 

                       EVERY ACTION

 

Today take every action available to resolve

a problem or issue and then trust in the

universe to bring you the best solution -

opening up a new opportunity - an unthought

of direction that will provide a win-win 

for all concerned.

 

Today take every action available to clearly

communicate your expectations then trust

in others to put your best interests first 

and ensure you receive the outcome 

desired - the solution hoped for and

envisioned.

 

Today take every action available then

turn the issue over to God - turning the 

Golden Key and opening yourself up to

a divine solution - the right solution, 

the solution that has always been waiting.

 

More on the topic of patience in the next few posts.

 

Thank you for reading.

With love.
