Change Self

Posted on July 21, 2018 by Ancient Seeker

Quotes from Gary Zukav:

Changing the world begins with the very personal process of changing yourself. The only place you can begin is where you are, and the only time you can begin is always now.

When you have an emotional reaction to what you see, you are judging. That is your signal that you have an issue inside of yourself – with yourself – not with the other person.

If you react to evil, look inside yourself for the very thing that so agitates you and you will find it. If it were not there, you would simply discern, act appropriately, and move on.

We cannot stop the winter or the summer from coming. We cannot stop the spring or the fall or make them other than they are. They are gifts from the universe that we cannot refuse. But we can choose what we will contribute to life when each arrives.

We cannot control what emotions or circumstances we will experience next, but we can choose how we will respond to them.

Each personality draws to itself personalities with consciousness of like frequency, or like weakness. Therefore, the world of an angry person is filled with angry people. The world of a greedy person is filled with greedy people and a loving person lives in a world of loving people.

Create From Within

From The Infinite Way by Joel Goldsmith:

No more will you fear conditions or circumstances seemingly outside of you or beyond your control. Now you know that all that can transpire in your experience is occurring within your consciousness and, therefore, is subject to its government and control.

It is not that Spirit produces or heals or corrects matter or the physical universe, but that we rise higher in consciousness to where there is less matter and, therefore, less discord, inharmony, disease, or lack.

It may at first appear difficult to achieve the state of consciousness wherein the laws of our inner being come into tangible expression. We will achieve it, however, in proportion to our ability to relax mentally, to gain an inner calm and peace, and therein quietly contemplate the revelations which come to us from within.

As the realization of our dominion dawns in thought, more assurance, confidence, and certainty become evident. We become a new being, and the world reflects back to us our own higher attitude toward it.

We can take possession of our affairs only as we consciously realize that they are the effect of our own consciousness, the image and likeness of our own being, the manifestation or expression of our divine Self.

That which we seem to be seeking is ever-present within us, and already manifested, and we need to know this truth. All good already is, and is forever manifested. The recognition of this truth is answered prayer.

Know When to Let Go

Anything that annoys you is teaching you patience. Anyone who abandons you is teaching you how to stand up on your own two feet. Anything that angers you is teaching you forgiveness and compassion.

Anything you can’t control is teaching you how to let go. Jackson Kiddard

The past will be your teacher if you learn from it; your master if you live in it. Valentin

The universe has infinite organizing power and, as conscious beings, we have ready access to this realm simply by spending time in stillness and silence. The same consciousness that orchestrates the myriad rhythms of the whole world dwells within each of us. As we cultivate present moment awareness and remain open to the many opportunities life offers, we open to the power within us to realize all our dreams with effortless ease. Oprah Winfry, Deepak Chopra

The two most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. Mark Twain

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. Albert Einstein

The distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Albert Einstein

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see the real you, or what you have been conditioned to believe is you? The two are so, so different. One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating whatever it chooses. The other is an illusion imprisoned by its own perceived and programmed limitations. David Icke

You will find that it is necessary to let things go simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go. Let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles. C. JoyBell C.
