People often speak of miracles by saying that they experience the power of God as if the power of God was beyond anything we can readily imagine or experience. But the truth is, as we develop the receptivity to OWNING God’s power as our OWN and start to realize that it is within each and every one of us, we begin to develop what has been called the mental equivalent of that which we want to create. We get the KNOWING that it is already ours.
I can remember the first time, way back when, that I did a spiritual mind treatment or affirmative prayer. I remember feeling – wow – what I am speaking is really going to happen. In fact, it is happening as I speak. Do you remember the first time that happened to you? We get that there is a Power that we can use. We get to the knowing and owning that it is already ours. That’s when we come to see the miraculous as the ordinary in our experience. Do you really know how powerful you are? Do you know that the same power that is “out there” is in each and every one of us?
I remember once a woman coming to see me, whom I had not met before. She had only been to our church once, so she didn’t really know any of this teaching. She started telling me about a serious problem she was having with cancer. And as she was speaking, I got real clear that her problem had nothing to do with cancer. She began to share more and more, and began to tell me about the fact that she had been and was still in a very abusive relationship. She began to say to me, “I think that’s the issue. I’m terrified of stepping out on my own. Where would I ever get insurance? Who would take care of me? (Not that he was taking care of her!) I just listened and didn’t say a word to this woman. She sat there and looked at me and said, “I think I brought this into my life.” I would never have said to her, “You brought cancer into your life.” I don’t believe in that. You don’t want to look at people and say, “You have a cold – you must be doing xyz.” She said to me, “I’m beginning to realize that my allowing these experiences is actually causing and creating my experiences.” She was sitting in a chair and she suddenly jumped up out of the chair and said, “I’m powerful, aren’t I?” I said, “Yes, you are.” Then she said, “If I can do that, I can change my life.” She looked at me and started to cry, saying, “I’ve been through years and years of therapy and I’ve never felt free. I’m free.” I didn’t do a thing. She heard herself and in my presence, while I held a conscious space, she began to see her own power.
So, for all of us who are creating muck in our lives, see how powerful we are? Look what we can do. When we speak our word, and know what it is very clearly that we want, we can create it.
I want to share with you this article called “The Power of Appreciation” by Song ChengXiang. It beautifully shows how important the role of appreciation is to our success and happiness. The Power of Appreciation By Song ChengXiang There is a powerful force within each one of us that you can use to overcome any obstacles, no matter how bad the situation is. Once you know how powerful this force is and how it works, you will never have to worry about anything in your life, no fears, no worries, and no anxieties. Life becomes an easy and fulfilling process. You start to enjoy your life; you start to enjoy every moment of your existence. Are you getting excited about knowing what this power is? The powerful force that I am making reference to is “The power of appreciation.” Yes, it is the power of appreciation. If you want to win, and win big in life, you have to know the power of appreciation, and you have to know how it works, and live by it. This is the secret weapon that you can use to win the battle of life, no matter how bad your current circumstances are. Don’t let its simplicity fool you. Just this one simple idea will completely change your life. Ok, let me make a clear statement, let it enter your subconscious mind. “No matter what circumstance you encounter, no matter what situation you are in, you always have the choice of finding something to appreciate in it, and you can immediately change your point of attraction at that moment!” Remember, the quality of your life is determined by the quality of this moment. And you have a choice in every moment. You can choose to feel depressed and unhappy, or you can choose to find something to appreciate, and change your point of attraction immediately. OK, now you ask “How can I find something to appreciate?” Let’s do a simple exercise… Stop whatever you are doing now, find something right here that you can appreciate. Go ahead, find something. Have you got it? If you haven’t, let me remind you of something. No matter who you are, and where you are, I can assure you that you at least have one thing to appreciate, just because you are reading this. Have you got it? Yes! You got it… It is the internet! How wonderful it is that we can have access to the internet and find literally any information we want in minutes. Now, stop for a moment, and really feel it. What does that make you feel? Think about how fortunate you are, compared to those people living in third world countries where they don’t even have a computer. Hold on to the good feeling for a few seconds, really feel it. If you can keep it for 17 seconds, your life will dramatically change. I guarantee you. This is just an example to demonstrate how you can find something to appreciate anytime and anywhere. It is actually very simple, it only takes a few seconds here and a few seconds there, and your life will never be the same. You will find yourself full of energy and happiness. Appreciate the food that you eat, appreciate the air that you breathe, appreciate the sunshine, appreciate the relationship that you are in, appreciate the room that you are sitting in. Appreciate everything. Well, you may say “The food that I eat is not as good as what the rich eat”,”the air that I breathe is not as good as the air in another city”, “the relationship that I am in is not as fulfilling as it should be”, “the room that I live in is not as big as I want”. Maybe all these are true, but it is true only because you have chosen to perceive it this way. And the important thing is you can perceive it in a different way right at this moment. Ok, think about the food you are eating. DO you know there are millions of children in Africa who do not have enough to eat? Think about the relationship that you are in. Don’t you remember that last time your partner gave you a hug when you were facing a major challenge? Don’t you remember all the wonderful things that your partner has done for you over the years? Instead of focusing on what he/she did wrong, why not focus on what he/she did right? More importantly, appreciate him/her; appreciate what your partner has done for you. So you get my point, there are always positive and negative aspects to any circumstances or any people, you can either focus on the negativities and blame what is wrong, or you can choose to appreciate the positive aspect and what is right. This will make a big difference to the quality of your life. I have to repeat, don’t let the simplicity of this idea fool you, practise appreciating here and there, and you will find miracles in your life.

One of the main principles I teach is that what you focus on increases…and if you focus on what you are grateful for, you begin to see more. If you find yourself focusing on what there isn’t enough of - it - first of all feels awful - and secondly - produces MORE of the same… We don’t have enough money; there isn’t enough time; I don’t have enough self-esteem – I have discovered that one of the thing that stops me most is my belief in NOT ENOUGHNESS
Usually toward the end of the year, for example, I ask - what have I accomplished? Mostly - what HAVEN”T I done that I wanted to do or thought I SHOULD HAVE done? Do you see yourself here?
Sometimes we look forward and we make a list that says - This year I’m going to…. Which is usually another list of the things we are berating ourselves for - that we don’t have enough of or do enough of…
Lately, instead I am choosing to focus on ABUNDANCE - which basically is an attitude of Gratitude that says THERE IS ALWAYS ENOUGH…
Abundance is our divine birthright. It is a quality of God, and therefore, by analogy, one of the qualities we all inherit as ‘children of God.
This idea of focusing on qualities rather than on resolutions is very powerful… and something you’ll be hearing a lot more from me on. (It’s the topic of my new book and CD’s – coming soon!)
Qualities of God are not TO DO lists - They are WHO GOD IS - they are therefore more about BEING than they’ll ever be about DOING. And, we are made in the image and likeness of God - and like most of us have finally probably realized with our own parents or children - the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…and in this case, we inherit ALL of the Qualities of God - because we are individualized expressions of God… Does this make sense? This is an essential point in New Thought - WE ARE ALREADY
all these things - but we bury them over with layers of FEAR -
Whatever you think you could use more of - start giving more of it…. There’s a great song I want to play at our offering — SEND OUT MORE….
Physicists and people like Deepak Chopra have taught us that by focusing on a particle we actually bring that particle into existence. There is no need for effort - or strain - isn’t that good news. We simply need to put our
attention on what we want instead of what we don’t want. Whatever we focus on increases in our lives. Whatever we send out - that’s what we start to get…
If we focus on lack, for example, we tend to create more of it in our lives. Likewise, if we focus on abundance, we’ll create more of that as well.
Did you ever notice that those who talk about being ill a lot are usually ill? The Master teacher, Jesus said, as you believe, so shall it be done to you. We show outwardly what we truly believe in by the words we speak. We may say we believe in health, for example, but if our conversation is always on our illnesses, or our fear of illnesses, that’s what we bring about in our life.
If you focus always on what went wrong in the past, you are doomed to repeat the past. The course in Miracles says, That which we resist persists. The reason that it persists is that that is what we are giving our attention to.
So, I am inviting you to choose a quality of God and GIVE YOUR ATTENTION To it… EVERYDAY.
This is an article that was written by Walter Starke - one of my favorite authors. Please read and comment below
This year the “The Secret” is sweeping the country. What it refers to as the secret is the Law of Attraction - that our thoughts attract or draw to us what our lives are made up of. The main value in proposing the law of attraction is that it lets people know that they create their own lives, that thoughts take form, that if one desires to change one’s life that person must change how they think, but the law of attraction goes only so far and tends to be a mental activity rather than a spiritual one.
Of the four presenters in The Secret two were motivational speakers who approached the concept objectively and the other two proposed a more subjective spiritual approach. Almost everything in the program was true from the level it represented, but because the difference between the spiritual and the mental approaches was not defined many have mistakenly thought they were the same.
The law of attraction implies that we attract to us things that previously exist as though they have already been created. Those of the motivation or mental approach believe that one should envision what he or she specifically wants, draw a picture, project a specific amount they want to receive into thought etc. This is the objective approach. It has a particular object or goal in mind. What’s more, it works. It is proved that we can mentally draw to us what we want. However, such an objective approach is based on one’s ability to judge what is good for them to have and what may be evil.
Someone may want a sporty BMW convertible. He or she can image it. See how it looks, picture the details, and, sure enough, they may achieve their goal. They may also drive down to the corner, get in a wreck, and kill themselves. If intuition backs up one’s judgment it might work out for the best, but the spiritual approach is less fallible.
Surprisingly, today, Quantum Mechanics supports and scientifically explains the spiritual approach that is outlined in the beginning of the Gospel of John, which says, “In the beginning is the word … and the word becomes flesh.” In doing so, Quantum physics proposes that consciousness is the substance of all that is, that consciousness creates everything in our lives rather than it’s having been drawn to us from outside. Thus we do not attract to us, but rather we ourselves create our lives and all that is in them. We materialize our perceptions. The quality of the forms our lives take is determined not by what we think superficially but by what we perceive as reality. Our perceptions manifest our reality.
We, as thinking people, do not know what is needed or in store for our growth and well being. What we think we want to attract may be the thing that kills us in the end. On the other hand, when we entertain subjective (spiritual) ideas or ideals and do not outline them in specific terms (objectively), we initiate the same principle that is in the Law of Attraction; however, rather than drawing to us, our divine inner selves creates that which is harmonious and in divine order.
Spiritually, rather than trying to attract a particular person into our lives we set in motion the consciousness of perfect companionship. Subjectively, instead of praying for a thousand dollars we open ourselves to life’s abundance knowing our needs will be well met. Subjectively, instead of trying to draw forth a specific automobile we open our consciousness to the best and most appropriate transportation.
I promise you, if we trust the process and set subjective goals for ourselves we will be shown how to create them or they will appear, and will do so without any down side. That which will appear will be the result of our trust in the process and our perception. It is all God.
The Bigger Secret
By Scott Kalechstein
The Secret is out, way out. Those who have been entrenched in feelings of powerlessness are finding their mojo by applying its principles. Yay to the setting of intentions, the power of positive thinking, and the wondrous Law of Attraction! Yay to manifesting a perfect soul mate, the ideal income, and our wildest dreams! Rock on, minds of mankind!
And while I am glad it has become so popular, I do have a few further thoughts to add to the conversation. When it comes to the Law of Attraction, I’m a bit of an out-law. To me it’s a little piece of the truth, and in the minds of egos wanting to play God, that can be a little dangerous. I believe that letting people in on the creative power of thought without also giving equal emphasis to the Law of Allowing is a bit like teaching people inhaling without letting them in on an intimate and inseparable part of the process – exhaling!
To put it simply, the Law of Attraction is about how to get what you want. The Law of Allowing is about appreciating what you get; in other words, letting go and letting God, or seeking ye first the Kingdom. When applied together, these Laws bring balance to the active and receptive male and female energies found within each of us.
It’s no secret that getting what you want doesn’t automatically lead to lasting fulfillment. If that were the case, the bathroom cabinets of the married, rich, and famous would not be filled with such an abundant supply of expensive anti-depression and anti-anxiety medication.
A Course In Miracles puts it bluntly: “The world I see holds nothing that I want.”
Yet we all want what we want. But what’s up with all this wanting? While wanting can be defined as desiring, it is also synonymous with lacking. “The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want” means that when we surrender our attachment to a specific outcome and trust in the benevolence of the universe, we shall not lack. And that is the Law of Allowing.
When we get rigidly attached to a desired outcome, however, we are coming from the assumption that we are not whole beings until we get what we want. And that’s an illusion that life delights in coaxing us to let go of.
Thaddeus Golas, in The Lazy Man’s Guide to Enlightenment, says “There is a good attitude to take towards any goal: It’s nice if it happens, nice if it doesn’t.” Does that mean we are to be detached from having passion? No, just detached from craving an outcome, from thinking there is some tear in the fabric of God’s perfection that needs to be stitched before we can fully enjoy being alive.
I love watching dogs run after seagulls on the beach. They set their sights on a flock and then are focused, single-minded, and even quite passionate about running down a bird. At the same time, they are very fulfilled in the thrill of the chase, having a tremendous amount of fun just frolicking on the beach. Going home without having caught a bird doesn’t for one moment diminish their love of life.
When we realize that just being alive is the gift that keeps on giving, we may pursue our own gulls just as passionately, but far less frantically. We value the process as much as the intended outcome. We embrace whatever we encounter along the trip with loving arms open wide enough to be grateful for it all.
When we have tasted the nectar of a fulfillment that is not dependent on the outside world granting us our desires, we realize that life is blessing us as much when we don’t get what we want as when we do. In those times we get to practice being friends with reality, letting go of our adversarial position to what is. A heavy burden is lifted each time we release the arrogant assumption that we are in possession of the big picture perspective enough to really know what our highest good is supposed to look like. We get to more thoroughly chew on yet another spiritual slice of humble pie A Course In Miracles invites us to digest: “I don’t perceive my own best interests.”
There’s nothing wrong with having goals and using the Law of Attraction to manifest them. Yet you can attain the world, only to have your achievements magnify and intensify your inner turmoil. An ego’s basic condition of lack, that nagging sense of ‘not enough-ness,’ cannot be overcome by worldy success. When Jesus said his Kingdom is not of this world, he was speaking for all of us.
Even my mother, a devout, practicing atheist, will exclaim after the first bite of some fabulous dessert, “Out of this world!” (It has been said that there are no atheists in foxholes, and I would venture to add that there also aren’t any biting into Junior’s New York cheesecake!)
The Bigger Secret is that there is a state of being available to us that is not of this world. Echoes of it visit us ever so briefly; the first few morsels of cheesecake, the first few mouthfuls of romantic love, and other fleeting moments of satisfaction. For some people who consistently choose to practice “Seek ye first the Kingdom”, that state sets up shop and sticks around as part of the fabric. It becomes the foundation of a sense of self rooted in eternity.
That’s what I want, to abide in a love that is not of this world. Perhaps that’s what we all want, even when we are seeking to manifest things of this world.
Have you had enough of a sense of not enough? Do you want out of the state of wanting that always leaves us wanting more? Let’s remember together: “I am as God created me, and I am free, whole and complete as I am. I am enough, I have enough, and I do enough. I wake up from the dream of lack. I am drenched in abundance at all times. Every sunrise is proof of my infinite wealth, every breath is a miracle, and all is supremely and eternally well.”
When that state of enoughness takes root in you and permeates your being, you will most probably be moved to chase some gulls and have some fun.
Gangway… I’ll see you on the beach!
“Those who bind themselves to a joy
Doth thy winged life destroy
But those who kiss the joy as it flies
Live in eternity’s sunrise
-William Blake

If you are getting the Illuminations ezine, you already have the links to
hear Oprah on XM radio as she interviews Esther-Hicks.
I find the teachings of Abraham to be the most solid spiritual teachings
ever and so I want to share them with you.
If you haven’t yet read The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks,
I recommend it highly. I read it 3x in a row - (I never do that.) and
I’ve been teaching and practicing this stuff for almost 20 years now.
It’s said so easily and to the point.
We are SOURCE ENERGY and we are continually creating what we
want because of the contrasts happening in our lives (in other words,
what we don’t think we want!)
I really want to hear your ideas here. I promise to answer as many entries as I can.
Thanks
Dr. Toni
I just got word from reliable sources that Oprah is having another taping with Dr. Michael Beckwith and James Ray this week — Valentine’s day - wednesday, Feb. 14th — to be aired SHORTLY. The tentative date to air is this coming Friday - but check first with oprah.com or your local listings.
I love the DVD “The Secret” - especially the original one with Esther Hicks (I have both - but you can only get the original now on ebay or Amazon). AND - I thought that in some instances, the message could be misleading. You have to read between the lines to recognize that many of our beliefs are unconscious and therefore hidden from us. And, on Oprah, there was more of a stress on things like taking appropriate action and forgiveness - two important aspects to allowing the Law to work in our lives.
If you are not yet on my LIST - to get more info on how to use the Law of Attraction - and some of the techniques I have discovered and use, go to http://www.FreeInspirationalMessages.com and sign up now.
Keep me posted on YOUR experience of using the Law. Comment here now.
This coming Thursday, Oprah will host Rhonda Byrne, executive Producer of “The Secret” and several members of the ‘cast’. “The Secret” is a wonderful film and if you haven’t yet seen it, you can check it out on http://www.thesecret.tv
The Secret - which hasn’t been a secret to me in the last 12 years, is the Law of Attraction. This film is actually just the beginning of understanding the Law. On surface viewing, it can look like it’s all about material possessions. I’ve actually watched it 6 times already and intend to watch it over and over, because each time I hear/see something a bit different.
My understanding of the Law of Attraction is that it is absolute. What you focus on, increases. Whatever that is. I’ve discovered exactly why my life is what it is - the parts I love and the parts I’d like to see differently. It’s all about what I think/feel/focus on. So much of this is unconscious and I have found my work as a teacher and spiritual life coach is to help people unravel what they are continually saying to themselves that is creating the life they have.
I’d love to hear your experience on using the Law of Attraction and on watching “The Secret”.
