REFLECTIONS on the Our Father — part 4

Let bread be present IN THIS MOMENT – daily bread

LIVE in the moment - ask again and again

I have two cats and Cats live in moment. They see a bird – chase and miss it - They fume and fuss to get it out of their system & then move on.

Cats have:

NO REGRET
I wish I had sharpened my claws more this morning.

NO SHAME
What kind of cat am I

No BLAME
If only my parents had taught….

NO GUILT
I’m really not up to par as a cat.

We are invited to be like Cats – to Live in the moment.   REACT in moment.   GET DAILY BREAD

To have our feelings when they happen;  get at beliefs as they are formed so as not to be storing them for future….

We are also being invited to  “Finish today’s task today.”

Bread - metaphysically.- all that is required for a healthy, happy, free and harmonious life. Bread is known as the STAFF OF LIFE.WE HAVE TO CLAIM it. And recognize GOD and God alone as the Source of all our Good. Lack of any kind – we’ve sought supply from some secondary source .

Our daily bread - signifies the realization of the Presence of God - God exists and so we have nothing to fear; we can rely on God

  • to  take every care of us;
  • to supply all that we need;
  • to teach us all we need to know
  • to guide our steps so we don’t make mistakes

Not just thinking about GOD - but the ACTUAL EXPERIENCE Just because you may go to Church every week doesn’t mean anything.  Looking at food is not the same as actually eating a meal. Realization guarantees demonstration. How do you come to Realization – by DAILY PRAYER – not efforting or willing.

Food or bread symbolizes presence of God - ACT of eating – essentially must be done for oneself No one can PRAY for you – but YOU alone can have the realization. DAILY bread – not just occasionally -  how are you living the Principles today.

“Behold NOW is the acceptable time.  Today is the day of Salvation.”

Manna in desert of Old Testament – came every day.

Release me as I release myself and others from the negative energy that has tied me up in knots, which creates stress and tension in my life, thus blocking me from reaching my full potential.

Forgiveness – being tied up in knots – rigid place in our being. Release others and release ME… When you are tied up, you are not a channel.  You begin to die.

Deliver me from the error of judging by appearance.  This activity creates a barrier through which I cannot see you through and feel your love for me. Amen.

I invite you to begin each day by slowly saying the OUR FATHER– come to realize that just like you fantasized and believed when you were young – YOUR FATHER is GOD!!  Act like you believe it..

Let your I Can energy flow through me now.

Mark Victor Hansen of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame, once said, “I am a conduit for God -means-   I CAN DO IT…”

LET there be - is a Decree prayer – God is saying I CAN.  Discover where you are saying I Can’t and replace it by God CAN! - and the God in You CAN…

Let your vision of empowerment really, really come through me, effecting my life and the life of others in a powerfully, positive way now.

God is not poor, not sick,  has no lack.  I CAN heal myself.  I can improve my health.  I can do all things through the consciousness of the Christ who strengthens me.

Let your passionate desire for life flow through me, guiding me to my full potential as a being made in your likeness, experiencing your passionate desire for my life.  Your plan for me is what brings heaven to earth.

What’s your full potential?  How are YOU being called to make a difference in the world… THINK BIG…

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Let this bread that feeds all the areas of my existence be present now in this moment of my life.

Lachma – bread – all the energy I need in all areas.   It’s already there.

When we say GIVE US - we EXPECT and  we don’t get what we deserve in life; we get what we expect. Have you heard yourself say, “Well, what did you expect?”God is amazed that we’re amazed at all the amazing things it does.

What Father among you if your child asks for a fish would give him a stone or if she asks for an egg would give her a scorpion. If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more you’re heavenly father  give good to those who ASK

If we don’t have what we need, it’s because we haven’t ASKED… or ASKED consistently.

How does one ask? Not – Hey God out there.. You wouldn’t really want to give this to me..or – LORD, I am not worthy…  This is a contradiction - we are asked to… Speak but the Word.  - Father, I knowest that thou hear all things.

ASK - KNOWING - that’s it’s the Father’s good pleasure to give us the kingdom.  What can’t you ask for —-  Why?

REFLECTIONS on the Our Father — part 2

You manifest all Creation, including me, out of your radiant Light. As I realize that I am connected to the Source of all energy  and the vibration in the cosmos, I bring Heaven to earth.

Heaven is already here — IT’S MY PERCEPTION THAT MAKES LIFE hell…

Whatever I am focusing on causes me to feel… Emmet Fox used to teach us to focus ON GOD  Think God. (My upcoming book teaches you how to do this. It’s coming soon…)

I am learning each day that I am vibration.  I’ve been very moved by the teachings of Abraham, (Esther Hicks) and the work of Wayne Dyer which I am reminded of here.  “There’s nothing more important than that we FEEL good”.  Just yesterday, I said some negative stuff – and, of course, it showed up in spades….. in the past, I would have felt quite bad about how I responded and that someone would even think ill of me.  I found myself asking – what can I think that would let me feel good (feel
God)?  I was reminded to love myself, even the personality that is critical – oh, another part of me that is unloved….how can I love this part more and use it more appropriately  — much better thinking  …..what’s the personality in you that you can give more love to today…  frightened person?…angry person?.. lazy?…….

You help me to create a space daily for me to experience Your life-giving healing energy through remembering who you are and who I am.

That’s how we heal these personalities – remember who you REALLY are – ASK for grace.

I love the thought of hollowing out a space for God.  practice first seeing YOURSELF not anybody else..

Eg. If you watch the news and find yourself ANGRY –

See SELF as cause… notice the anger… maybe even notice how prevelant that is in your life…asking for grace…

This is the way to enlightenment, folks… Awareness…Ask for grace.  NOT ABOUT WORKING ON YOUR FLAWS—  (I know this isn’t what a lot of people teach — but, I really believe it — the answer to growth lies in remembering who you really are….)

Many years ago, I used to play the guitar and sing - the words of one of my favorite songs is coming back to me now:

Do you know who you are? Can you see with my eyes

Have you heard what I’ve said in my word, do you know who you are

And if I am the Father, then you are the son and all that you need I will give; let your heart be at rest, I’ll do what is best for I said, I have come that you may live.

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?

From Joe Vitale - Fear and the Creative Power of Your Mind

Monday, August 13th, 2007

by Kathy Zant
www.ZeroFearNow.com

Fear affects all of us. People talk about the
fight or flight response, but there’s another
reaction that is even more common and
detrimental: becoming paralyzed, unable to move.
Thoughts about what may happen race through our
minds coming up with elaborate possibilities…
possibilities that will likely never occur.

Often when fear begins racing in our minds, waves
of emotion follow like a raging stream carrying
us away. Those emotions can be extremely
powerful. We begin to feel that the fears are in
fact truth, and that our visceral physical and
emotional reactions solidify our beliefs that we
can’t move from where we are.

The emotions and physical reactions are very
real. The basis for those reactions — the fear
– usually is not. Those fear come from illusions
within our mind.

Isn’t the mind wonderfully creative?

It can concoct elaborate schemes of what could
happen, and think through all of the ways you can
protect yourself like a chess game without an opponent.

Let’s see if there are some ways we can use that
brilliant creative power of your mind to move you
forward, instead of erecting defense systems
against something that doesn’t exist.

How is fear keeping you stuck?

Do you want to ask for a raise, but you’re afraid
of being denied?

Do you want to apply for a more exciting job,
but you fear that you’re not qualified?

Do you want to ask a pretty girl out for a date,
but the thought of her saying no makes your
stomach turn?

Do you want to lose weight, but inside there’s a
quiet fear of the attention you might receive if
you do?

Fear blocks your manifestation

No matter how much attention you might place on
achieving your goals, how much you want them,
hidden, unconscious fears often get in the way.
Then we end up feeling frustrated and angry that
our manifestation efforts aren’t going the way we
planned or hoped.

Tips for overcoming fear

Explore your emotions. If you find yourself
within that raging stream of emotion, allow those
emotions to flow. But separate yourself from
them. Instead of following the current, pull your
conscious mind to the riverbank and watch the
emotions flow. You don’t have to be carried away
by the river, you are not the river. But you will
learn a lot about yourself and your patterns by
watching your emotions flow through you. Perhaps
your intuition will show you where the basis for
those emotions exists within you, and you can
release the cause of your fears.

Separate your fear from the object of your fear.
If you fear being rejected, that may stop you
from asking for what you want or need from life.
The key is to not avoid the action that might
cause rejection, but to re-identify the problem
as the fear itself. Fear is the obstacle, the
rejection is not an obstacle. It’s only feedback
that will guide you on the path to getting what
you want.

Re-address the consequences. What if your mind,
running off with possibilities, is completely
right? What is the absolute worst thing that can
happen from your worst fears coming true? If you
can find a place within yourself where the worst
possible scenario is somehow okay to you, then
the fear will dissipate. What if you are told
point blank that you’re not qualified for the job
of your dreams? What happens next? Use your
mind’s creative power to find ways where you can
be okay with the worst possible scenario. Perhaps
it means you take another course, or study at
home in the evenings, or manifest a job that’s
more suited to your needs. The rejection is only
a problem if you don’t have a plan of finding a
way to be okay no matter what happens.

Just do it. There are some
instances of fear-inducing situations where you
just can’t find a logical way out. Your gripped
by fear, but you know that being stuck and
paralyzed is not an option. You have to move one
way or another. The only thing you can do is…
take action. You might be taking the “wrong”
action, but all you can do is move from the place
you were. When you can move, just a little bit,
you begin to develop momentum and the fear will
no longer be the primary driving force in your
life. You’ll have moved from a place of inertia
into a place of movement, and you’ll no longer be
blocked. That first step doesn’t have to be a
huge step, it just needs to be A step.

Of course, if you’re looking for a quick way to
supercharge your courage and break through
unconscious fears, take a look at the new
Subliminal Manifestation DVD, “Fear-Less:
Transcend and Break Through Fear.”

Reinventing Yourself - women over 40

Friday, August 10th, 2007

I’m amazed at how many women over 40 (and some younger) are in the process of reinventing themselves.I recently put out a call to interview people interested in this topic and received an overwhelming response.

If you are reading this and want to be part of this interview process.  Write to me now at womenreinventing@gmail.com  or just leave your comments here. Tell me about yourself, who you are - what age range you are in and what you see as your needs for spiritual support during this time.

You’ll be glad you did.

REFLECTIONS on the Our Father — part 1

Friday, August 10th, 2007

I don’t think calling God Father is a gender issue anymore . A Father is one who gives origin to, or brings forth into the world. So we are all fathers to our own experience. We are all the creators of our life. Whether you are doing it consciously or not, you are the creator of your life. Our aim is this church is that we do so consciously. That we become consciously aware of the creative process and aware that we can bring forth into our lives the events and conditions that we desire.

God, as Father is the great cause, the cause of all life. There is only one source from which all ideas and all living objects proceed and that is First Cause - God the Father. Jesus, the Great Example used the word Father in referring to the Creative Principle we call God. “It is not I but the Father within that does the work.” Father was a word understood by the people as the head of the household. Father stands for the head of our spiritual house or spiritual nature. The creative force, spiritual cause behind
all manifestation. E.H. said “The Spirit of God, which we think of as the Heavenly Father, is a Divine Presence.” We should honor that Presence every day.

SOURCE of all life in the Universe

Is God really source in your life?
Worried about lack and limitation of ANY Kind – financial, or physical – Antidote is to note God as Source

All is created out of the unlimited Substance of the Universe. If we are blaming anyone or any circumstance – The God in me is the source of my experience.  I am source. We are source   Anytime you hear the word Because – BE Cause..

Get this deeply and it will change EVERYTHING in your life…  Nothing can ever harm you – nothing can ever stop you…your vibration attracts ALL experiences to you…. So it goes on to tell us how to change that vibration…

You cause my whole being to vibrate at the thought of your great love for me.   —  change your vibration?

Admittedly, not everyone has favorable father experiences. But all can take comfort today in the remembrance of their Heavenly Father. God loves without condition. There are no strings attached. It is understood in our teaching that God is Love. This means that God never withholds love and could not withhold love, because then God would not be God. Our perception however can cloud our view of reality. God loves everyone of us equally, as well as unconditionally, we need never be jealous or envious of anyone.

Reminds me of a story about a man who had grown up bitter, convinced his father loved his younger brother, but not him. That was an interpretation he had carried with him since he was seven years old - when he saw his father secretly give his brother a silver bar, and he didn’t get one. From that moment forward, an icy chill settled in between father and son, and eventually, communication ceased entirely. They hadn’t talked to each other in over ten years when the son decided to confront his father about that
long ago memory. To his total amazement, he found out the silver bar he remembered so well had been the foil from a stick of chewing gum, and that was the injustice - the perception around which He had built his entire life.

Wayne Dyer and me

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Today I got a wonderful call from someone who said she found me by searching for work by Wayne Dyer. I’m working on a new project for women reinventing themselves and although Wayne is certainly not a woman, he is someone who keeps reinventing his message - -which tells me he’s reinventing his inner self. Isn’t that what’s most important in our lives - our inner growth.

What are you doing to grow spiritually?  Need help.  Give me a call
