Experiences

Every experience should be looked upon as good for each is needed for the growth of the soul.

 

Each one on the earth plane, and everywhere in fact, is different one from the other, even so-called identical twins. 

No one has the same needs, nor the same outlook in life nor the same experiences because the requirements of all differ widely, and it is well that this is so. 

Many, of course, do have similar experiences, but the reaction to the experience would differ with each because of the difference in background, thought and feeling. So life is made up of very different lives that come together for a time and then oftentimes are separated by distance or by death (we should say transition). 

Changes come to all as they are needed. Every experience should be looked upon as good for each is needed for the growth of the soul. In time, all will see that this is so. 

We may long for greater closeness of family ties but this too must change and of necessity must expand and grow, and the place for its growth is not always where we would most desire it to be. However, we can change our thought and our feeling about it, creating greater harmony in life by keeping our outlook cheerful. In time, we may find other and more welcome changes that will bring about our fondest dreams. 

We only grow by change and we must adjust our thoughts to it.

Expectations for Good

Our minds are constantly working for or against us and we must ... guide them into the channels of good ...

 

Everyone has a way of limiting the good in his or her life. We all seem to put limitations on our good fortune and what is the question? Why should our good be limited in any way? Why are we able only to see ourselves receiving limited good? Can we not condition ourselves into the expectation that everything is good and that we can and should only expect the good things of life. Yes, we can and we should, for all our expectations whether good or bad fulfill themselves. We do not realize that this is so, but it is indeed a truth of life.

We get what we expect and what we deserve and no one can keep it from us for long. It behooves us then to think well of ourselves for we are the creators of all that happens to us by the action of our minds. We have within us potent weapons of good or evil, and we must rightly use them and correctly expect only good will come to us by their use.

Our minds are constantly working for or against us and we must take the reins and guide them into the channels of good and constructive ways of life. This does not at all mean that without physical work you can by mind and thought alone achieve all good. The two must work together for the result that will bring to us our ultimate heaven on earth.

The peace and goodwill also of others towards us must come about both by our sincere desire to bring it about and our work in that direction; and so it is with all desires, no matter what they may be, we must expect them and then work for them in whatever manner or means is best for us to achieve this good. 

Also we must be sure that what we so ardently desire is right for all and will in no way injure another for only in this way can we bring about our good and have right prevail. Expect, Work, and Have, are the trinity in this case that works for each one and all.

Hidden Talents

We cannot all be great artists but all can and do have talents, many that they could hardly realize because they are not brought out or exploited enough. 

 

Everyone has some talent, some gift which they can develop and perfect once they discover what that talent may be. Too there are many whose talents are numerous, but we speak now of those whose talents remain submerged, undiscovered, and they are legion. Often it is due to inherent fears, insecurity and other negative traits that are in the person’s makeup that keep the talents undiscovered.  

The persons involved may greatly admire some whose talents have been developed and yet he or she cannot realize that their potential may be even greater had they developed the talent they already possess.  

How is this brought about, you ask? How discovered? By simply casting aside all fears and doubts and going ahead with the strong desire uppermost in your mind and then you would find great pleasure and exultation in the quest and its result.

We cannot all be great artists but all can and do have talents, many that they could hardly realize because they are not brought out or exploited enough.  

“Seek and ye will find.  Ask and it will be added unto you.” [These are] admonitions to be heeded by all.

Expectations

We make our own experiences as we need them and as we react to the events and circumstances of our lives. 

 

What we expect in life has a great tendency to come true, if we hold to it fast and truly believe. I do not mean that because we may desire wealth that it will automatically be ours because we expect it. Oh no, we must also work with our desires if we expect them to bear fruit. Mere wishful thinking will never produce the results we desire.

Have you ever heard someone say that they are sure they will die from some disease? Often this actually proves true because, by that person’s expectation of it, he has drawn it to himself. We make our own experiences as we need them and as we react to the events and circumstances of our lives. As someone has so aptly stated, “It is not so much what happens to us that counts but our attitude towards it, and reaction counts everything.”

Suppose we find a great disappointment in life -- what then? Does it break you up completely, or do you take it in stride and say, “Well, it just wasn’t to be?”  What a world of difference in these two attitudes of mind. The results too are such that it is almost impossible to see just how far reaching in a life this could be.

Watch yourself that you are not crushed by circumstance and fail to stand up to life and its challenges.

Conquer Self

Our thought life, if at all negative, must be recharged with positive thoughts that give us a more vital and vibrant attitude ...

 

When we conquer self, we conquer the world for it is only through ourselves that this is actually possible. We must be strong within to bear the strife and burdens of life. We must have love within for all creation and know that though we may not understand all life’s problems and purposes, still we have love for all creatures and tolerance for others that they too may see the light and solve their special problems as we are striving to solve ours.

Patience too is a very necessary attribute to acquire. In fact, it is a necessity if we are truly to master the self within. Our thought life, if at all negative, must be recharged with positive thoughts that give us a more vital and vibrant attitude and keep us on the crest of the wave rather than allowing us to become inundated by the negative attitudes.

This current of life that flows through all can be so charged that we become more keenly aware of all life that is around and about us. It will give us a great deal of enjoyment and happiness when we follow this path. It is not easy, nothing really worthwhile ever is, but once attained and we hold to it, we are the master. Our way is lightened and our burdens as nothing compared to the old way.

All is not gained at once, but when we plod steadily on in this vein we will win through and the rewards are many.

Self Belief

Believe, have faith in the self within for you are adequate to all that comes into your life ...

 

The strength, the power, the health-giving thoughts of life are possible for all to have, for all to receive if we but tune in to these positive vibrations. We must first aspire, then we are inspired and life is revealed to us as it never before has been presented. We find our senses are intensified and we respond to outside influences as never before possible.  

Our minds, if so attuned, can act as spiritual antennas attracting to us all the good that we need and desire. Why then do we hold back from such conditions? Only because doubt and fear creep in and possess us when we should and could shut them out of our lives.  

We use what we habitually think, so always remember this truth and act and think according to your best interests and those of others who are in your environment. We shape our own destines daily by our very thoughts and habits of life.

Believe, have faith in the self within for you are adequate to all that comes into your life, and with constructive habits only the good can come.

Gratitude

 

Everyone of us has some blessing that is ours and we should indeed express gratitude to God for what blessings we enjoy.

 

Gratitude expressed is a very wonderful thing and causes the person to be more aware of the great blessings of life. We all, no matter what our position in life, have much to be thankful for.  

Everyone of us has some blessing that is ours and we should indeed express gratitude to God for what blessings we enjoy. When this is done our blessings have a way of being multiplied, perhaps because of our very awareness of their existence.   

So many times people complain and fret and are envious or jealous of others not realizing that they themselves are unique and as equally endowed with blessings, although maybe of not quite such a high caliber. For the law of attraction comes in and attracts to us just what we expect, and, unfortunately, it is not always desired. 

We must expect only the best in order to attract it, and by our life and its thoughts and actions carry out, in the full, our part so that the law may work for us and not against us.

Count your blessings each day and be grateful for you have earned them or they would not be yours to enjoy.

Material World

Love is the all-powerful thought and faith is its handmaiden and consort.

 

We live, move and have our being in a so-called material world. How material is it actually? Is it not all really spiritual when you come to analyze it? 

All material substances can be found to be of a greatly condensed substance that is held together by vibratory force. In essence the material is anything but solid, but is formed from substances in cohesion one with another. 

We ourselves, however solid we may seem, are evolved from the same sort of substances we find around and about us, differing, of course, because of divine mind, which we all have and which actually is in all nature as well.  

We have the wonderful attribute of thought, which in turn brings about action, and our very environment and all conditions about and around us are caused by the all-powerful thought process ever going on. We are, in truth, what we think, and the knowledge of our true divinity is invaluable to us to bring to us success in all we endeavor to achieve.

Love is the all-powerful thought and faith is its handmaiden and consort. Both we must have within us in order to gain the Kingdom of Heaven that lies within, the keys of which are in your own hands.

Changes Bring Changes

 

Look forward to change and great blessings from the God-power within always working to bring about better conditions for us in our lives.

 

Changes bring changes. After all, life is but a series of changes in every department. We must always welcome change for we know it is for a purpose and only in this way can we grow and live. We would not wish to stay still no matter how desirable our present state of being and environment appears to be, for there is always room for improvement. 

Although change does not always mean improvement, if we are living in a high vibration and expect only the best, only the best will be attracted to us.

What we are and what we have today has depended upon our thoughts and actions of yesterday. And so it is that the future stems out of our past and goes on brighter and more fair if we have so decreed it for ourselves by our life. 

If it is otherwise and we find illness or lack in our life, we know that somewhere along the line we have erred. Then we must change and about face in order to rectify that which is negative in our pathway and obstructing the good that should be coming into our life.

We cannot blame others for any condition in which we find ourselves, but should realize that we are often the instigators of the negative instances that have materialized in our lives. 

Look forward to change and great blessings from the God-power within always working to bring about better conditions for us in our lives.

Mountains to Climb

The mountain seems unbelievably difficult to ascend at times. 

 

We all have mountains to climb and in order to gain the peak and raise the flag of conquest we must meet with many setbacks, many disheartening events, many worries and fears to be overcome before this can become a reality.

The mountain seems unbelievably difficult to ascend at times. We are often tempted to give up and to go back and perhaps continue to live in the valley where there are no difficulties to overcome. But this easy way out is not for us, for the fires of desire to overcome are strong within us, and so we push on.  

Slowly, oh so slowly at times, surrounded by darkness, by fear of a wrong step that could plunge us off into unknown dangers (and often does just that to the unwary traveler) we plod on carefully. 

Finally from afar, perhaps when a cloud is lifted, we can see our goal. We realize it is worth all the effort, all the strength we can muster to push on and reach the peak of our mountain where we can plant the flag of success and look back to see where we gradually worked up the steep slopes, ignoring the crevasses and the slippery ways and, in spite of all, going on and never giving up.  

Then we can stand proudly erect and feel the great exalted love and peace that only comes to those who seek it and eventually, through great struggle, find the top of the mountain and plant the flag of successful achievement in a life of love and peace.
