BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, January 27th, 2012 by Caroline Myss in WHY PEOPLE DON'T HEAL AND HOW THEY CAN
"In every situation, no matter how challenging, you have the option to pursue the meaning behind the event. In some cases, this may simply mean trusting that there must ultimately be a positive reason for what has happened, and that when and if the time becomes appropriate, the meaning will be revealed. This is hardly an easy response to have in a crisis, especially during the life-and-death situation that illness can often be. But it is the response that will bring you the most power and the clearest guidance."

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, January 26th, 2012 by Sanaya Roman in PERSONAL POWER THROUGH AWARENESS
"When you begin to notice situations that are undervaluing you, or demanding too much from you, clear the negative energy. First, remain straight and strong and centered in your body; do not lean forward or backward. When you are with people who drain you, learn to put your feelings into words, even if just to yourself.
Putting your feelings into words is very powerful in cleansing other people’s energy from your space. Do not express anger to other people, but do get it out of your system. Say it to a tape recorder, or to a video camera, or write it down. Any process that brings it out of your body is a process of healing and cleansing yourself of the energy you have taken on from other people."

PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, January 25th, 2011 by Dr. Eric Kaplan in THE 5 MINUTE MOTIVATOR
"We were not born walking and talking. The first time we walked, we fell. The first words we uttered, we stuttered. The first time we read, added, multiplied, divided, shot a basket, or swung a bat or a golf club, we met with some degree of failure. Yet, we persisted. Remember how awkward your first date was? I'll bet it wasn’t your last date. Life is a culmination of learning experiences based entirely on obstacles and failures. Remember, it's the rocks in the stream that give the river its music.There was once a little boy who armed himself with a bat and ball and went out to play. He began by throwing the ball up in the air and trying to hit it as it came down. However, with every toss came a strike. Time and time again he threw the ball in the air attempting to hit it. After an hour of futility, the boy picked up the ball and said, "Boy, am I a good pitcher."

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 24th, 2012 by Wayne W. Dyer in THERE'S A SPIRITUAL SOLUTION TO EVERY PROBLEM
"Use your thoughts to keep your energy on healing rather than disease. It is pretty common to place energy on what is wrong and what you don't want. Thoughts such as, "This cold is going to get worse," "There is nothing you can do, it’s the flu season and it's going around," "You have to get worse before it will get any better," are all ideas that will help you to manifest what you don't want. A brief reminder here: you act on your thoughts, and this goes for your body and the bodies of those around you. If your thoughts are on what you don't want (disease) you will act upon those thoughts and manifest more of what you don't want.
Anytime you enter an energy field of injury or disease remind yourself that you are bringing the radiant energy of spirit to that space. Stay focused on that faster energy, make an effort to radiate it outward and in a surrounding fashion, never buying into the lower energy of disease."

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, January 23rd, 2012 by E. J. Michael, in QUEEN OF THE SUN
"Never believe everything you hear. No matter who says it. Truth can only live in hearts and minds that are free. Dogmatic belief and fanatical adherence to official pronouncements – whether religious or supposedly scientific – have done immeasurable harm throughout history. Keep your own counsel. Study everything that comes to your attention with an open mind. When misconceptions and wrong assumptions are removed, reality shines forth like the sun between the clouds."

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Friday, January 20th, 2012 by Dan Millman in EVERYDAY ENLIGHTENMENT
"No matter how intelligent, attractive, or talented you may be – to the degree you doubt your worthiness you tend to sabotage your efforts and undermine your relationships. Life is full of gifts and opportunities; you will open to receive and enjoy them to the degree that you begin to appreciate your innate worth, and to offer yourself the same compassion and respect that you would give to others. Discovering your worth sets your spirit free."

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, January 19th, 2012 by Alan Cohen in WHY YOUR LIFE SUCKS AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
"In the film Out of Africa, pioneer Karen Blixen confesses, "My biggest fear was that I would come to the end of my life and realize I had lived someone else’s dream."…Many people have all kinds of ideas about how you should be living, but they do not matter unless they match your vision for yourself. Well-intentioned as others may be, no one knows your heart and destiny as well as you do.
The disease to please is a prevalent one. It shows up in the son who plays out his parents’ hopes for the childhood they never had; the daughter who marries within the faith although she loves another; the wife who dares not defy her husband's wishes; the teenager anxiously striving to fit in with peers; the employee sweating to win the favor of his boss; religious adherents trying to be so good so God will not send them to hell. But they are already in hell. If you deny your truth to fit into another's, you will find yourself there too."

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 by Stuart Wilde in INFINITE SELF
"If you want to flow down the eternal river of perception toward your Infinite Self, you've got to let go of the branch you're hanging on to and let the river take you. That means facing your insecurities and fears and really looking at yourself. Sometimes that can be a bit painful because what you see is piles and piles of caca – loads of it. And you say to yourself, "My God, I'm grim. I'm totally assoholic. I need to join Assoholics Anonymous. I am so assoholic it's painful." Then, once you can observe how assoholic you are, love yourself. Look in the mirror and say, "Man, this is one of the world's greatest idiots, but I love him, I love her, and I'm going to change them."

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 by Marianne Williamson in EVERYDAY GRACE
"Most of us wouldn't think about beginning our day without washing the accumulated dirt from the day before off our bodies. Yet far too often we go out into the day without similarly cleansing our minds. And our minds carry more pollution than our bodies, for they carry not only our own toxicity, but that of the entire world. We carry the fear, anxiety, stress, and pain not just of our own lives, but of our families, our nation, and millions all over the planet.
Our greatest weakness is the weakness of an undisciplined mind. We need not let fear steal the morning; we can consciously choose not to allow our minds to be programmed by the worldly viewpoint that dominates the earth. We can set our day upon another course. Each of us has an inner room where we can visit to be cleansed of fear-based thoughts and feelings. This room, the holy of holies, is a sanctuary of spiritual light. The light is not a metaphor, but rather an actual energy of mystical vibration. When we begin our morning within it, the mind receives a radiance that illumines our thinking as we go through our day."

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, January 16th, 2012 by Thich Nhat Hanh
"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black curious eyes of a child – our own two eyes. All is a miracle."

"My heart goes out to people who are working hard to release their negative attitudes and painful memories. "Just tell me how, and I'll do it," they say to me. We are forever looking for the easy meditation, the easy exercise, that will lift us out of the fog, but consciousness doesn't work that way. Ironically, there is a simple way out, only it's not easy: Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness."

"Can you see all the judgments that you have about yourself? Every judgment is just an opinion – it’s just a point of view – and that point of view wasn't there when you were born. Everything you think about yourself, everything you believe about yourself, is because you learned it. You learned the opinions from Mom, Dad, siblings, and society. They sent all those images of how a body should look; they expressed all those opinions about the way you are, the way you are not, the way you should be. They delivered a message, and you agreed with that message. And now you think so many things about what you are, but are they the truth?"

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 10th, 2012 by Jonathan Parker in THE SOUL SOLUTION
"The truth is the past is nothing more than a memory, and it has no real existence other than what we project on it. We benefit greatly when we no longer treat the past as a determiner of our present our future. This doesn't mean forgetting your past – the past provides wisdom that can help prevent needless pain and suffering – but it does mean letting go of the painful aspects and struggles of the past. You can begin this process of release by tuning into any uncomfortable feelings the past is creating in the present and stating an affirmation, such as, "I release and let go of the painful feelings I am feeling about my past."

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, January 9th, 2012 from A COURSE IN MIRACLES
"This is the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you. Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation lies:
I AM responsible for what I see.
I choose the feelings I experience,
and I decide upon the goal I would achieve.
And everything that seems to happen to me
I ask for, and receive as I have asked.
Deceive yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done to you. Acknowledge but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes will disappear."

Compiler's note: This quote is my favorite passage from "the Course" as it draws attention to the importance of taking complete responsibility for our lives. This quote emphasizes that we do "create it all," (albeit not all consciously) and as we come to this awareness we can stop blaming others for our predicaments.

PONDER on THIS for Friday, January 6th, 2012 by Paul Greblick in INNER INFLUENCING
"Stored negative feelings cause more damage and discord to your life than you can ever imagine. They are your cause for lack of control over your life, and all kinds of lack and limitation that you are experiencing. Your subconscious will try to keep those feelings from your awareness because they throw off your emotional balance and equilibrium. So, it will keep you from experiences that may add to your life if any of those old feelings will be triggered as a result. If this sounds too inconsequential, think of the number of lottery winners that go bankrupt, or have their lives go down the proverbial tubes after winning it.
The reason for this is that all of their stored emotional energy – the negative unresolved feelings from the past – are being triggered with the new over-the-top "good" thing. In reality, their systems couldn’t handle that much money to begin with, so that's why it kept it away – to avoid the emotional upheaval. Everything good in your life is being kept away because of potential emotional upheaval that your subconscious is trying to protect you from."
Paul Greblick, from his "Inner Influencing" Self-Empowerment Program
Compiler's Note: Recently I used a passage from this author’s "You Have Angels" eBook, and stated that I would post a follow-up message once his "Inner Influencing" program was available. This program, which is designed to act like a "virus cleaner" in the subconscious mind, is indeed now available, and based on what I've read the conceptual framework truly makes great sense.

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, January 5th, 2012 by Richard A. Singer, Jr. in YOUR DAILY WALK WITH THE GREAT MINDS
Figure out who you really want to be, what you really want to do with your life, and what you truly desire and begin to act "as if" these qualities already exist in your life. Act your way into your desired life. The results will certainly amaze you. If you want to run the company you’re working for, dress the part, act the part, and visualize the part. It may sound rather odd to you but many men and women who have achieved enormous success have productively applied this strategy. Try it, if it does not work toss it out. Remember, action is what we are judged by, and from thoughts and beliefs come action. Think, believe, then act according to what and who you aspire to become."

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, January 4th, 2011 by Sanaya Roman in SPIRITUAL GROWTH: BEING YOUR HIGHER SELF
"One way you can tell the difference between the messages from your Higher Self and the messages from your intellect is to note if there is any fearful thought behind the message. Messages from your intellect are often based on thoughts of scarcity, guilt, or a need to protect yourself from some imagined threat. If you are asking for guidance and want answers, do not pay attention to answers you receive that are based on fear, for they are not from your Higher Self.
Higher Self guidance is often subtle and quiet, and is frequently the message that follows the first one you hear. Your intellect may quickly jump in with answers, so when you are reflecting on what action to take, the first or loudest answer you receive may not come from your Higher Self. To receive messages from your Higher Self, get silent, and wait until you sense an answer that is reassuring and loving."

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012 by John St. Augustine in LIVING AN UNCOMMON LIFE
"Every life has a rhythm to it. The important thing to remember is that creating an interchange between the coming and going, the rising and falling, the peaks and valleys, is what balance is all about. Your life may appear to be out of balance when in fact it could that the rhythm of life is changing, and you are right where you are supposed to be. You are learning what you are supposed to learn, and the scales of balance are simply adjusting themselves in your favor.
Every event in your life, every situation and challenge, serves a purpose – not to knock you off balance, but rather to help you learn how to improve it. And remember that when you do fall down – and all of us do – make sure that you have stopped your descent before you attempt your ascent. How do you know when you are ready to get back up? That’s easy: you are no longer focused on the going down, but on the getting up."

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, January 2nd 2012 by Neale Donald Walsch in CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD BOOK 3
"Keep in mind that what you are looking at, you are not really "seeing." Your brain is not the source of your intelligence. It is simply a data processor. It takes in data through receptors called your senses. It interprets this energy in formation according to its previous data on the subject. It tells you what it perceives, not what really is. Based on these perceptions, you think you know the truth about something, when, actually, you do not know the half of it. In reality, you are creating the truth that YOU know."
