THE ROAD TO RICHES

Riches are of the mind. Let us suppose for a mo­ment that a physician's diploma was stolen to­gether with his office equipment. I am sure you would agree that his wealth was in his mind. He could still carry on, diagnose disease, prescribe, operate, and lecture on materia medica. Only his symbols were stolen; he could always get addi­tional supplies. His riches were in his mental ca­pacity, knowledge to help others, and his ability to contribute to humanity in general.

You will always be wealthy when you have an intense desire to contribute to the good of man­kind. Your urge for service—i.e., to give of your talents to the world—will always find a response in the heart of the universe.

I knew a man in New York during the finan­cial crisis of 1929, who lost everything he had in­cluding his home and all his life's savings. I met him after a lecture which I had given at one of the hotels in the city. This was what he said: "I lost everything. I made a million dollars in four years. I will make it again. All I have lost is a symbol. I can again attract the symbol of wealth in the same way that honey attracts flies."

I followed the career of this man for several years to discover the key to his success. The key may seem strange to you; yet it is a very old one. The name he gave the key was, "Change water into wine!" He read this passage in the Bible, and he knew it was the answer to perfect health, hap­piness, peace of mind, and prosperity.

Wine in the Bible always means the realization of your desires, urges, plans, dreams, proposi­tions, etc.; in other words, it is the things you wish to accomplish, achieve, and bring forth.

Water in the Bible usually refers to your mind or consciousness. Water takes the shape of any vessel into which it is poured; likewise, whatever you feel and believe as true will become manifest in your world; thus you are always changing water into wine.

The Bible was written by illumined men; it teaches practical, everyday psychology and a way of life. One of the cardinal tenets of the Bible is that you determine, mould, fashion, and shape your own destiny through right thought, feeling, and beliefs. It teaches you that you can solve any problem, overcome any situation, and that you are born to succeed, to win, and to triumph. In order to discover the Royal Road to Riches, and receive the strength and security necessary to ad­vance in life, you must cease viewing the Bible in the traditional way.

The above man who was in a financial crisis used to say to himself frequently during the days when he was without funds, "I can change water into wine!" These words meant to him, "I can exchange the poverty ideas in my mind for the realization of my present desires or needs which are wealth and financial supply."

His mental attitude (water) was, "Once I made a fortune honestly. I will make it again (wine)." His regular affirm-ation consisted of, "I attracted the symbol (money) once, I am at­tracting it again. I know this, and feel it is true (wine)."

This man went to work as a salesman for a chemical organization. Ideas for the better pro­motion of their pro-ducts came to him; he passed them on to his organization. It was not long until he became vice president. Within four years the company made him president. His constant men­tal attitude was, "I can change water into wine!"

Look upon the story in John of changing wa­ter into wine in a figurative way, and say to your­self as the above men-tioned chemical salesman did: "I can make the invisible ideas, urges, dreams, and desires of mine visible, because I have discovered a simple, universal law of mind."

The law he demonstrated is the law of action and reaction. It means your external world, body, circumstances, envi-ronment, and financial status are always a perfect reflection of your inner thinking, beliefs, feelings, and convictions. This being true, you can now change your inner pat­tern of thought by dwelling on the idea of success, wealth, and peace of mind. As you busy your mind with these latter concepts, these ideas will gradually seep into your men-tality like seeds planted in the ground. As all seeds (thoughts and ideas) grow after their kind, so will your habitual thinking and feeling manifest in prosperity, suc­cess, and peace of mind. Wise thought (action) is followed by right action (reaction).

You can acquire riches when you become aware of the fact that prayer is a marriage feast. The feast is a psychological one; you meditate on (mentally eat of) your good or your desire until you become one with it.

just remember that the people in the place you visit are nearly always more interesting than the actual place

A line from a facebook chat I just had with a friend of mine from Australia, actually this guy has traveled more than anyone I have ever met.. When I met him in Athens he had been back-packing for 3 years...hes got a new biz going www.oceanfit.com.au
Really cool dude and wish him all the best.

As for me I am currently in Mississippi.. the birth place of Elvis and Opera= what is it about this place that produced the two greatest rags to riches stories in American history. I think possibly it is because there is so little here.. there is little to do, little to see, you almost automatically end up calming your mind and just living.. which leads me to my next point and my next en devour i want to help people make money... and I want to make more Money every year for the rest of my life.

Merry Christmas

prayer for controlling emotions

i know that the love of all things which are good penetrates my mind aND Casts out all fear. I am now living in the joyous expectancy of the best. My mind is free from all worry and doubt. My words of truth now disolve every negative thought and emotion within me. I forgive everyone; i opemn the doorway of my heart to God;s Presence. My whole being is flooded with the light and understanding from within. The petty things of life no longer irritate me. When fear, worry and doubt knock at my door, faith in goodness, truth and beauty opens the door, and there is no one there.

suppose you are invited to a banquet. Everything there that you see, hear , touch ,smell

myy faith is in God and all things good. his love watches over me at all times.

Using Picasa I made this out of a real photo I took this morning. Great morning for birding and I think it is going to be a great summer for it!!!!!!! soo excited!! hey everyone check out real time on google..its awesome for news..

Here is a clear shot of my friend; The Cardinal!!:)

My friend the cardinal just got his photo taken by me again! Today I also saw a Blue Jay--The Universe is wonderful!:)

And I think to myself...what a wonderful world!

Yes the bird is a little out of focus but look at the purity and the beauty of its color! what a wonderful universe we are a part of!! le me share with you some of the wisdom I read about this morning "Most of us take for granted that time flies, meaning that it passes too quicky. BUT in the mindful state, time doesn't really pass at all. There is only a single instant of time that keeps renewing itself over and over with infinite variety. THe secret about time, then, is that it exists only as we usually think of it. Past, present and future are only mental boxes for things we want to keep close for far from us, and by saying that "time flies" we conspire to prevent reality from coming too close. Is time a myth we are using for our own convenience?" -Chopra the book of secrets! wonderful journey it is to read such a refreshing book!! Wishing you all the best- Sean

Spread the Joy

Good Morning everyone -today is March 30th 2011..Here is a challenge for you-> can you make this a great day for yourself by spreading joy?

Beautiful BC fungai!!! Again with my love I hope u are well.

Self image does not exist..self image is made up of the past and the past is not real it was real only when it was--the only thing in time that is is now..

-Chopra says :
you stop being ruled by self image when:
you feel what you feel
you are no longer offended by things
you stop appraising how a situation makes you look
you don't exclude people you feel superior or inferior to you
you quit worrying about what others think about you
you no longer obsess over money status and possessions
you no longer feel the urge to defend your opinions

How to choose without getting trapped
-make the most of every experience
don't obsess over right and wrong decisions
stop defending your self-image
go beyond risks
make no decisions when in doubt
see the possibilities in whatever happens
find the stream of joy

hope your now is felt!

oneness

its so simple.. just be you--the world is already reflecting everything you believe so just believe the best! Believe good- and remember always choose the subtle thoughts- love, acceptance, goodness. The most efficient thing that can be done is to clear the mind the way that the mind is cleared is to focus only on exactly what is going on in the now.

just like the deer in this picture let God direct our life by becoming one with him. we

The Law Of Inverse Transformation By Joseph Murphy

Love

Tofino BC..
I know that I am part of the greater good and so ultimately this will come back full circle and surround me with good. What I am trying to say is that we may put to much stock in self-preservation in the physical sense in terms of resting enough and eating well, when to preserve health and the body we should be working more with the mind...by allowing only good thoughts into our minds when we do this everything else will be good because we are good and then that becomes our reality...next time someone asks me to do something or needs my help with something that may seem to have no benefit to the human body conventionally...I will do it and it will do me more good than if I decided to carry on sleeping ..This will make all the difference

A Resolve for Today

THE following little motto—a resolve for today—may contain a little aid for the following of the Way.

I AM RESOLVED

I believe that my Master intended that I take His teachings in the simple, frank, and open manner in which He gave them, out on the hill-side, by the calm blue waters of the Galilean sea, and out under the stars of heaven.

I believe that He knew what He meant, and that He meant what He said, when He gave the substance of all religion and the duty of man as love to God, and love and service for His fellow-man.

I am therefore resolved at this, the beginning of another day, this fresh beginning of life, to go forth eager and happy and unafraid, in that I can come into the same filial relations of love and guidance and care with my Father in Heaven that my Master realized and lived, and going before revealed to me.

I shall listen intently to know, and shall run with eager feet to do my Father's will, calm and quiet within, knowing that I shall have the Divine guidance and care, and that no harm therefore shall befall me; for I am now living in God's life and there I shall live forever.

I am resolved in all human contact to meet petulance with patience, questionings with kindness, hatred with love, eager always to do the kindly deed that brings the joy of service—and that alone makes human life truly human. I shall seek no advantage for myself to the detriment or the harm of my neighbor, knowing that it is only through the law of mutuality that I can fully enjoy what I gain—or can even be a man.

I am resolved therefore so to live this day that, when the twilight comes and the night falls, I shall be not only another day's journey nearer home; but I shall have lived a man's part and done a man's work in the world and shall indeed deserve my Father's love and care.

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.

To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
