Word of the Week
I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.
temerity
te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun
the quality of being confident and unafraid of danger or punishment.
From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”
“Eyes exuding sincerity,
understanding, temerity,
is why I love you.”

Imagination
Imagination – powerful tool or devastating enemy?
Imagination is one of our most powerful tools and is the beginning point for all our greatest inventions, fictional stories, new businesses, new ways of doing business and anything you can imagine. Men and women have imagined wonderful things in their minds and through visualization, faith and persistence, often against ridicule and seemingly impossible odds, have advanced all of humanity.
Following the universal law of polarity, imagination has a polar opposite which can be devastating if we allow it to run uncontrolled. If it is allowed imagination will run rampant often becoming crippling to the host. Imagination is not reliable to operate on its own and must be governed through proper use of the will and reason. Imagination and emotion fuel one another and can be particularly devastating to relationships at any level. What we harbor in our heart and allow our imagination to dwell and grow upon will manifest in our physical world at some point whether we like it or not. It is imperative we learn to use the will properly selecting and visualizing only those thoughts which direct us toward our desired outcome.
I am the maker of my world and you are the maker of your world. It will become whatever we perpetually imagine it to be.

Blowing in the Wind
I am reminded of a song that contains the lyrics; “The answer is blowing in the wind.”
Too many of us are searching “out there” for answers to life and day to day problems we
face. We look to friends, institutions, government, gurus and books. Some may even
look to the entertainment world for answers to “what’s wrong” and how to solve it.
This is not to say some valuable information and insight cannot be found in these places
but it is not the place or the information gathered there that will supply the answers we
seek. It is how we internalize this information, our thought process surrounding the
information. All our problems are solved or fed from the inside. The answer lies within.
Outside information is simply a tool and nothing more. These tools must be used to build
new blueprints, behaviors, not just surface thoughts and wishful thinking for man does
not become what he wishes but that which he truly harbors in his heart.
The answer my friend is found within. It can be no other way.
Your own thoughts, desires, and aspirations comprise your world, and, to you, all that
there is in the universe of beauty and joy and bliss, or of ugliness and sorrow and pain,
are contained within yourself. By your own thoughts you make or mar your life, your
world, your universe.
James Allen

Sustained Thought = Success
Embrace your desires with gratitude, faith and action for gratitude, faith and action are the nourishment with which we nurture our worthy ideals.
All great accomplishments began as thought substance. No thing in existence, no accomplishment has ever been realized except it was first a thought.
Man is a thought center and by holding fast the thoughts of his desires with gratitude and faith will attract the conditions congenial to his purpose and must act upon them.
Do not waste your thoughts on what was or on the appearance of what is for things are seldom as they seem. By your thoughts turn all circumstance positively toward your purpose not worrying for material possessions or where provision will come from.
The Source of Creation is not interested in material possessions or status. It will provide what is needed – it will guide, motivate, and influence you and everyone else.
Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life - Dr. Wayne Dyer
Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life - Dr. Wayne Dyer
Creation is seldom logical and often demands quantum leaps. Great faith and action, with gratitude will be required of those who wish to move forward. Any thoughts of lack or limitation will lay waste all desire. A strong belief in our Creator and that our Creator desires an abundant life for all is a prerequisite to your success. Be grateful for all for it has helped shape what represents you by your thought choices. There is no luck or happenstance involved. It is preparedness meeting opportunity. We prepare by mastering the tools of sustained thought, faith, action and gratitude.

Art of Allowing
We are Life Energy. All comes from the same source. The same Life Energy permeates and surrounds everything. We are simply Life Energy having a physical experience. It is important we not interfere by labeling or defining circumstances or people, but allow Life to accomplish its goal through us, seamlessly and effortlessly.
The moment we label something or someone our Life Force has no option but to take this path as we have defined it pertaining to our personal self. We must let go and let God. Each one has purpose and it is each ones responsibility to stay on purpose without imposition allowing the Life Force within to manifest that purpose. For Life is continually working toward expansion and the good of all things.
Many could say how can this be? This person or that one has so much more energy than “I” and is more successful in all they set out to accomplish.
Here in lays their dilemma. Through improper use of ego, the great ”I AM”, that which strives for identity through attachment, we severely reduce our Life Source. Some completely cut off their supply through improper thought choices leading to any number of restrictive behaviors, blaming outside circumstance, unaware they alone are the reason for their misfortune and prosperity.

Two Doors
All things are presented for our benefit and growth
No thing, is bad or good except we label and personalize it so
Our experience will follow the label we attach
Much may be lost
An equal amount gained
The master key will open both doors
Few will understand
Fewer still, apply
Wisdom is attained through awareness of how foolish we are
Oh to fool ourselves into thinking we actually understand anything

A further note to Sacrifice
It is important to understand that there may be ships in the harbor of our past which require us to hoist anchor and allow setting sail making room for the new. These will be some of the most difficult challenges we face and must be certain the sacrifice is worth the gain. With weights and measures of Spirit and Ego we must do battle. We must not waver in our decision for tempest tossed souls are bound for destruction.
In the end always trust in Spirit. It will never guide us astray.
In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding Master: He does but sleep: wake him. Self control is strength. Right thought is mastery.
Calmness is power.
Say unto your soul, “Peace, be still!” - James Allen

Re-Visit...Re-Focus
Conversations with several people over the last week have prompted this repost from last July.
Where Am I Going?
Set aside some time this week to discover who you are and why you are here. Too many of us travel through life without ever knowing who we really are and what our purpose is. Yes we have all at times wondered why we are here and what we would like to do with our lives or where our lives are taking us, (instead of us directing our lives to take us where we want), and wondering where we might be five or ten years from now. So many of us drift along going with the flow letting our circumstances and environment dictate our actions and therefore results. It is kind of like leaving on a trip without really knowing where you are going or will end up. Generally when we plan a trip we know where we are going, why we are going, how we will get there, things we are going to do and see when we are there and any necessary preparations required ahead of time. Why do we spend more time planning a trip than we do our lives? Is life not just a trip of another kind? Does it not deserve at least as much planning as your next vacation?
Here are some questions to help you get started. If you think of other relevant questions that have meaning for you leading to a positive corollary, by all means add them.
What am I?
Am I my name? Am I my body? Am I the things I have accumulated?
Or am I much more than this?
What defines me?
What are my beliefs? How did I come to believe what I do? Is it someone else’s belief I have accepted as truth or my own? How would other people define me? Am I my own person or am I trying to please everyone by being the type of person they think I should be? Do I need to revisit and look at some of my beliefs differently? How?
What do I want from life?
What are my passions? What would be my ideal life if nothing were impossible? What type of person has this life? Do my beliefs harmonize with this type of person? What changes must I make to become this type of person? How will I make these changes? What limits do I impose upon myself and how will I eliminate them?
What is my purpose?
How will I develop and use my passions, (talents, gifts), throughout my life to help others? How will I give back?
“Nothing is impossible to the mind. All its guidance and power are available to you. When you have fully realized THOUGHT CAUSES ALL, you will know there will never be any limits that you yourself do not impose.” - U. S. Anderson

Religious
Spirit unites
Religion segregates
Spirit does not judge
Religion compares
Spirit is forgiving
Religion condemns
Spirit is of God
Religion believes in a God
Spirit is Universal Intelligence
Religion is man
Spirit is freeing
Religion controlling
Spirit is wholeness
Religions are pieces
Spirit accepts all
Religion accepts few
Spirit is natural
Religion is forced
Spirit is power through giving and loveReligion is power through greed and good intention
These things from ancient times arise from one:
The sky is whole and clear
The earth is whole and firm
The spirit is whole and full
When man interferes with the Tao
The sky becomes filthy
The earth becomes depleted
The equilibrium crumbles
Creatures become extinct
From the 39th verse of the Tao Te Ching

Fluff and Nonsense
Fluff and Nonsense
I looked around to see what stirs comment
And here is what I found
It’s fluff and it’s flimsy and not very sound
We comment on heresay, on gossip and smut
On lives gone awry and things gone amuck
Ego loves to point fingers, to belittle and such
To speak of misfortune, the like there is much
Ego dwells around the husk, avoiding the core
For that would demand thought, a laborious chore
Ego goes silent when challenged with substance,
Individualized thinking can be such a nuisance
So let us discuss Tiger, the score, and the soaps
Perhaps the latest fads, the weather and horoscopes
To this end we’ll fashion our lives
And wonder why God doesn’t hear our cries
The great master follows his own nature
and not the trappings of life.
It is said:
“He stays with the fruit and not the fluff.”
“He stays with the firm and not the flimsy.”
“He stays with the true and not the false.”
From the 38th verse of the Tao Te Ching

What in Your House?
In every house it is the emptiness contained within that makes it useful.
Without nothingness you cannot have something.
Without space there is nothing to be filled.
Space between the notes gives us music – without the space it is just noise.
Your house will reflect the personality of that which you choose to fill it.
We can fill our house with the music of anger, lack, limitation and poverty, or peace, love, health, joy and prosperity.
Whatever we choose will be our lot.

From the Notes of James Allen
What you are, so is your world. Everything in the universe is resolved into your own inward experience. It matters little what is without, for it is all a reflection of your own state of consciousness. It matters everything what you are within, for everything without will be mirrored and colored accordingly.
Reflecting on these words how might one alter his outward state toward a more desirable environment?
Consider how behaviors predict the responses we experience from our outside world, both positive and negative.

Beautiful Gift
One of the most beautiful gifts we are able to enjoy as Spirit is the ability to participate in the shaping of our future by holding our thoughts with faith and gratitude upon those things which we wish to manifest in our life.
By our thoughts we may rise to our highest aspirations.
No other living creature has this privilege.

Reflection
You cannot see yourself in the reflection from a mirror.
It can only reveal part of the illusion ego has attached itself to.

We Are Responsible - We Choose
What kind of thoughts will I choose today?
What kind of day do I choose to have today regardless of circumstance?
What are my options and why would I choose this particular one?
True knowledge and power is found not in the acquisition of things, diplomas, information or status, but in self mastery – the understanding of self. One of the first steps to self mastery is to understand we have choice.

Be the Stream
See the stream as she gently winds her way along?
How she is not concerned with what might appear to be “obstacles” in her way?
She does not become bogged down. Her progress is not hampered. She does not stop to build up force, for force creates a counter force—friction. Too much time and energy would be wasted. Her focus may be lost, and she may never make it to her final destination.
She simply builds her resources flowing around, over or under, gathering strength as she goes.
She understands these “obstacles” are necessary for her to gather strength.
These “obstacles’ are not “obstacles” at all, but guides indicating the direction she must flow toward her worthy ideal—the ocean.
As she gathers strength, becoming the river, her path becomes straighter. Less is able to withstand her power, however she understands she is still bound by the laws of Nature, allowing it to be her guide.
Lakes are a time of calming, reflection and cleansing, as she journeys persistently toward her final destination.

Illusion
What is this desire to attach our self to things?
To say I am this, or say I am that?
Why is it we feel the need to own—to control things?
To say this belongs to me, or you belong to me?
Why must we manipulate, compartmentalize and label?
To say this must go here, and you must go there?
Why do we linger and hold our self back?
What is this magnetism we have with the past?
What is this craving for gossip, the insatiable need for drama?
To meddle where we don’t belong?
Why can’t we see the prison we’re in?
The walls we are building, the limitations we set?
Ego demands identity—Spirit is free.

30th Verse of the Tao
Whatever strains with force
will soon decay.
It is not attuned to the Way.
Not being attuned to the way,
its end comes all too soon.
For many this excerpt from the 30th verse of the Tao will remain a mystery.
For those who meditate on this, understand this, and apply this, they will discover within it one of the secrets to lasting success in all things.

Ride the Wave
In keeping with last Wednesdays post I would like to repost Ride the Wave.
Study and enjoy.
Ride the Wave
The life force within us is our power of intention. It is our guiding light not to be resisted, but energy, to be steered and cooperated with driving us to our desires. It is our job to be aware of the circumstances presented to us and not resist them but work within them creating our purpose. Resistance will always bring counter resistance resulting in conflict and an unhealthy environment opening us to all kinds of stress related diseases. We must maintain a constant vigil for the perfect opportunity provided through circumstance which will move us toward our goals yet be yielding to change trusting that our Power of Intention knows the best way for us.
If you have ever had opportunity to observe the surfer you watched him surveying the sea as the waves constantly rolled in. He searches for the perfect wave that will give him the ride of his life. Once he has made his choice he is fully committed to his wave. He selects the perfect position within the wave and begins his ride. He doesn’t try to control the wave for that would be folly and end in disaster. No the master surfer takes the opportunities the wave presents him and works within those circumstances directing his ride to a thrilling successful end. His successful completion depends on his cooperation with the wave. If he resists or goes against the laws of the wave he will surely meet a counter resistance creating conflict and ultimately crash risking injury.
As the surfer selects and totally commits to his wave focusing all energies upon a successful completion he reads and conforms to the circumstances provided within the wave and by his thoughts and actions he creates his successful journey. So must we select our goal, commit, focusing all our energies toward a successful completion. Remain stoical maintaining a flexible attitude toward the necessary circumstances presented for our desired end.
