They Stand Ready To Help You Make It Happen

For this week’s blog post, I will present to you a bakers dozen (twelve plus one) authors who have potent knowledge to share with you which will help you in some manner or form. I have read all of the books noted below from each of these authors. I heartily recommend all thirteen authors and these books to you. If you wish to do your own research in the realm of the metaphyscial, “create your own reality” world, these books will get you started. A number of these books are in the public domain so they are available to you free of charge online.

I like the image above because it represents a scenario whereby each of these authors, through their writings, are patiently awaiting your visit and would love to share with you helpful information that they have learned and actually experienced during their lives concerning the topic of creating your own reality.

The writings of these authors cover a wide range of ideas and concepts, some you may have heard of, others you may not be familiar with. Some of the ideas you might agree with while others you might reject. You are certainly free to choose to accept or reject the information they put forth. That is always your soverign right for anything that anybody tells you. You may reject a particular concept then pick up the book ten years from now and see the concept in a different light. In any case, it never hurts to open your mind and let some fresh air in. Pay very close attention however to how you feel as you read from whatever author or authors you have chosen. If what you read deeply resonates with you, if it feels natural to you, then the information is meant for you right now and will immediately yield you benefit if you put it into practice. That is the eternal catch — if you put it into consistent practice. You can’t just read it — you also have to do it. Thought + Feeling + Action = Results.

There is a saying that I heard once that I really liked. It has an stuck with me all through the years — “A book is a portal to another dimension”. If you choose to read further of the works of these authors, and I hope you do, make sure your mind is wide open, hold on tight and enjoy the wild ride through these other dimensions.

Guard Your Thoughts Relentlessly

Have you ever watched the movie, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”? It is a western involving the two protagonists, who are train robbers, being relentlessly chased by a crack posse hired by the railroad. Every time they use their skill and ingenuity in evading the posse and think they are “in the clear”, the posse shows up. A number of times Butch Cassidy says, “Who are these guys?” and the Sundance Kid replies. “They are very good.”

Your subconscious mind is like that posse in the sense that it is absolutely relentless in bringing to you what you yourself believe is your reality. And it is very good at what it does. It does not argue with you. It does not try to coerce you to do something. It makes no judgments that you should have this or shouldn’t have that. It creates the reality of your life by relentlessly observing your habitual thoughts…..the habitual way that you choose to feel inside…..your habitual beliefs…..the habitual words that come out of your mouth. After observing what you continually think, feel, say and believe, your subconscious goes to work through connection with Universal Intelligence to use the natural channels of society to bring to you an equivalent reality that matches up with your habitual thoughts, feelings, words, beliefs.

Closely and slowly read this biblical passage from the Book of Proverbs, Chapter 4, Verse 23 (from the Good News Bible translation)…..”Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.” In this chapter of Proverbs dealing with the love of wisdom, you are being clearly, unmistakeably, lovingly advised to use your God-given power of free will to continuously exercise discipline over the content of your thoughts. Your thoughts are real things. They represent real energy, real power.. The thoughts that you dwell on either will make you or break you.

Your subconscious mind is relentless because it is tireless. As long as you signal to it what you desire through your habitual thoughts, feeling and beliefs, it will create situations that will make your desires transform into physical reality right before your eyes to the closest degree possible. By closest degree possible, take the example that say you desired to be able to fly. As the evolution of mankind on this planet has not yet included the ability to de-gravitate yourself and fly, the subconscious will get as close as it can (meaning you will ultimately find yourself in a hang glider, helicopter, airplane, etc.). You need not be concerned about a stray harmful thought being picked up by the subconscious and immediately creating that reality. The key to the whole process is the word….habitual. We have been created so that if we randomly think of something, it does not instantly appear in our life. Think how chaotic that would be. When harmful thoughts enter the inner space of your mind, just shoo the harmful thought on its way and go about your business…..the business of creating your life as you specifically desire it to be. Guard your thoughts relentlessly because they truly run your life.

Your Very Best That You Are Able To Do

There is a morning prayer that goes like this: “My Creator, help me to make my best effort today better than it was yesterday.” Whenever I pray that, I usually follow that up with with apologies to my Maker if my past ” my best” was actually a crappy version of “my best”.

Having vision, intent and faith in a particular goal, no matter how tiny or large that goal is, means that you simply can’t bullshit yourself when you say “I’m giving it my very best shot”. Ask yourself every time “Are you really?” In the image above, I have no idea what the runners particular goal may be with his run. My perception is that he is giving it his very best whatever the goal is. Every muscle, every part of him seems laser focused on achieving what he is trying to achieve. No posing for the camera. No looking to the left or to the right. No smiles for the camera. Only total concentration and effort in achieving whatever it is that he has set out to achieve.

When you are engaging in specific activity to manifest a particular desire that you have, doing what the man in the image above is doing, putting one foot in front of the other with total concentration and focus, is usually what’s gonna eventually get it done for you. We all need to just kick back and relax from time to time. However, you cannot say to yourself “I’m doing my best” and then spend three to four hours watching tv every night. Of course if what you desire to manifest is a history of watching of tv, then you have succeeded. Congrats. If that is not your manifestation desire however, then you have failed at truly giving it your best and you are just sabotaging yourself. Self-sabotage is definitely one of mankind’s favorite hobbies, and one of the most detrimental. Telling yourself that you are doing your best, when in fact you really aren’t, is an insidious con job that you put over on yourself almost always with bad results. I know because I have been there. I think that we all have to some degree.

At the end of each day, spend a bit of time before you fall asleep, reviewing your activities for that day, starting from when you woke up and continuing over the course of the day. It doesn’t have to be a long time. Five minutes will do. Review objectively. Do not spend time berating yourself where you observe that you could have done better. That does you absolutely no good. You must remember that the scriptural command to “judge not” also includes yourself. If there is no place where you observe that you could have done better, then congratulations, you have had a most great and wonderful day. If there are areas where you could have done better, simply note it to yourself and vow to to work on that in the future. If you do this, you will find that “your best” does, over time, become better and better. The result of that is the prize you are after, the prize we are all after….. greater and greater success in your manifesting your desires.

Ultimate Freedom

As the concentration camp prisoners entered the Auschwitz concentration camp, they were cruelly mocked with the sign above the gates, “Arbeit Macht Frei”, which translated means “Work Makes You Free”. This was just another one of the “big lies” of the nazis as they had no intention of granting freedom to any of the inmates. In a sense, you are constantly doing the same thing with your own precious life, creating your own little Auschwitz. You do this whenever you grant your permission for someone or something to come into your thoughts and dictate to you what you are to think or how you are to feel. For example, someone may say “He made me so angry” or “She made me so jealous”. When you relinquish power to that someone or something that is now dictating the show and pulling your strings, you have just walked through the gates of Auschwitz. It doesn’t have to be that way. Your natural state of existence is freedom with the choice to exercise free will over your thoughts and feelings at any time in any place.

Freedom. It’s a word that conjures up a multitude of images and meanings. It’s a concept, a way of living, that human beings have fought for, have died for, countless times throughout mankind’s history. What does the word “freedom” mean to you? In his famous 1941 “four freedoms” speech, Franklin Roosevelt described four essential human freedoms that people of the world were striving for: freedom of speech; freedom of worship; freedom from want; and freedom from fear. The concept of freedom has always been dear to the hearts of Americans. The state of New Hampshire even made their state motto, “Live Free or Die”.

For the most part, human beings are creatures of habit. Our tendency in life is to form habits of behavior. We feel secure when we follow known paths. After awhile, we are on auto-pilot taking the path of thoughts, words, feelings, beliefs with which we are familiar. We take the path of shaping our thoughts, our feelings, even our beliefs to conform to the satisfying of our fears. Fears of what others will think of us. Fears that we will not be accepted. Fears that we will fail at something we are trying to do. Fears we will be unloved or unprotected. The problem is that by giving up your sovereignty to think and feel as you choose, you have voluntarily entered through the gates of Auschwitz. You have surrendered the only true freedom that you have in this world…..your thoughts, your feelings, your beliefs.

Ultimate freedom, where you and only you choose what you think and how you feel, is the way we were meant to live and grow and thrive. Ultimate freedom requires ultimate responsibility on your part. Nobody makes you angry. Nobody makes you fulfilled. Nobody makes you sad. Nobody makes your life filled with joy. Nobody makes you nervous. Nobody makes you feel at peace. Every time, each time, you choose. You. The freedom to choose is yours. The power to choose is yours. It always has been. Live free or die…..I think New Hampshire got it right with their state motto. Choose to live free. It is a great way to live.

Successfully Slay Stress

Stress. At one time or another, we are all chased by stress. It affects your health. It affects your thinking. It affects your emotions. It affects your beliefs. And almost always, the effects of stress are not for your good with regard to manifesting the life that you want to live. So, how do you make stress stop chasing you so that you have time to breathe, so you can live free and with joy?

Stress is generated by our emotions. Emotions are generated by our thoughts. The answer to the above question is to make the soverign choice to change the content of your thoughts. Choose to block out those thoughts that create stressful feelings (usually due to a fear of something such as fear of failure, fear of loss, fear of poor health, etc, ). They are to your detriment. Instead, focus your mind on those thoughts that create non-stressful feelings (always emanating from love) that are extremely powerful and yield benefit to you. When you are experiencing stress, your mind is dealing with weakening emotions and your mind is trying to come up with ways for you cope with them. This saps your inner energy lowering your ability to manifest your desires. When your mind is focused on empowering emotions, it enhances your inner energy thus increasing your ability to manifest your desires. It is like a mathematical equation.

Look at the image at the top of this post. It represents a hazy quantum wave of energy. Without going into a long explanation of quantum mechanics, I will give you the super-short and sloppy version. In quantum physics, all matter is energy, energy that vibrates at different frequencies. In scientific studies, it was discovered that a particle of matter only became solid when it was observed by the scientist observer. When observation was withdrawn, it reverted back to a wave of pure energy. That’s it in a nutshell. The long and precise version would take a year and a day to explain.

If you can train yourself to remove your inner focus away from the cause of your stress, you will actually learn how to remove it from your life, sometimes sooner, sometimes later, depending how successful you are in your ability to choose and maintain your focus. Energy, in the form of stress in your physical world, will revert back to pure energy when observation is removed and depending what you choose to observe next, will then change over to something else.

It is well understood that if your current situation contains a tyrannical boss or a professor that may suck or a very challenging assignment or a spouse or signifigant other that is constantly on your case about something or some other stress creator, it may not be a lah-de-dah simple matter for you to change your inner focus. You must cultivate a ferocious intention to do it. You must make the irrevocable choice to change old habits. You must choose to believe that you can do it. When you do, and you have made the decision to focus only on those things that are attributes of the Universal Mind, then as the esteemed author Emmet Fox put it, you will then have the joy of discovering the golden key that unlocks the world of manifesting your reality during your lifetime without the specter of stress hanging over you.

Now for a bit of fun. Attempt to say aloud the title of this post, “Successfully Slay Stress”, very fast, three times in a row. It is an old-fashioned tongue-twister. In order to say it aloud three times very quickly successfully, you have to put great focus into it. You have to totally concentrate on coordinating your vocal chords with your lips and teeth and tongue. When you have done it successfully, then put that same focus and concentration on eliminating stress from your daily life. It’s all in your hands.
