PONDER on THIS for Thursday, February 9th, 2012 by Megan Don in MEDITATIONS WITH TERESA OF AVILA

Jeff Maziarek — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:18:59 GMT

"Throughout her life, Teresa stressed the importance of beginning the journey of self-knowledge. This journey requires an ability to be very honest with oneself and a desire for self-responsibility. It means that we no longer blame others for the state of our sold, or project our old wounds onto new (or old) friends. It means we are able to acknowledge to ourselves, and speak clearly to others, the thoughts and emotions we are experiencing…We are a grand mixture of ancestral, genetic, psychological, and spiritual components. All these come to light in our daily lives, and many of them are not as attractive as we would desire.

Teresa reminded us that by acknowledging these not-so-welcome traits, we are entering into humility – the place where we understand that we are superior to none, the place we can all afford to dwell in."

Megan Don, in "Meditations with Teresa of Avila"

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, February 8th, 2012 from an HASIDIC TALE

Jeff Maziarek — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:13:38 GMT

"An old rabbi asked his pupils how they could tell the night had ended and the day had begun. "Could it be," asked one of the students, "when you can see an animal in the distance and tell whether it's a sheep or a dog?" "No," answered the rabbi.

Another asked, "Is it when you can look at a tree in the distance and tell whether it's a fig tree or a peach tree?" "No," answered the rabbi. "Then when is it?" the pupils demanded.

"It is when you can look on the face of any man or woman and see that it is your sister or brother. Because if you cannot see this, it is still night."

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, February 7th, 2012 by Don Miguel Ruiz in THE VOICE OF KNOWLEDGE

Jeff Maziarek — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:02:52 GMT

"Why do people abuse us? Because we allow them to abuse us, because in our judgment we believe we deserve to be abused. But if we go a little deeper, we see that we abuse ourselves far more than anybody else abuses us. We can blame other people who hurt us and say, "I grew up being abused," and we can make many excuses. But in the present moment, who is abusing you? If you are truthful, you find that mostly it's your own voice of knowledge.

Every time we lie to ourselves, we abuse ourselves. Every time we curse ourselves, we abuse ourselves. Every time we judge ourselves, every time we reject ourselves, of course we have an emotional reaction, and it isn't pleasant! Again, if we don’t like the emotional reaction, it's not about repressing what we feel; it's about cleaning up the lies that cause the emotional reaction."

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, February 6th, 2012 by Louise Hay in GRATITUDE A WAY OF LIFE

Jeff Maziarek — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:12:24 GMT

"Gratitude brings more to be grateful about. It increases your abundant life. Lack of gratitude, or complaining, brings little to rejoice about. Complainers always find that they have little good in their life, or they do not enjoy what they DO have. The Universe always gives us what we believe we deserve. Many of us have been raised to look at what we do not have and to feel only lack. We come from a belief in scarcity and then wonder why our lives are so empty. If we believe that "I don’t have, and I won't be happy until I do…," then we are putting our lives on hold. What the Universe hears is: "I don’t have, and I am not happy," and that is what you get more of."

A Request from Pondercentral.com

Jeff Maziarek — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:33:20 GMT

"Ponder on This" messages have been around for nearly 13 years now, and the Pondercentral.com website has been active for almost five. Throughout the course of sending these messages, I've done my best to keep to my original intentions in providing this service, which were to: 1. Always keep it free for you 2. Never under any circumstances share your email address with any Internet marketers 3. Very rarely promote my own products, and 4. Not share other content with you besides the "Ponder on This" messages.

Other than occasionally participating in promotions to assist other authors in their book launches, I’ve made a concerted effort not to aggressively market anything to you, because I absolutely hate it when someone takes that approach with me. It's really been my pleasure to select these messages for you, and I've continued to provide this service because many subscribers have told me over the years that they do receive value from the daily quotes.

With that background in mind, my purpose in writing this post is actually to ask a favor of you. If you have not purchased a copy of my book Spirituality Simplified yet, I respectfully request your support in doing so. The reason I am making this appeal, and I assure you I will not make a similar one again, is that my inventory of books is getting to a low enough point where I would like to sell as many as possible of the remaining copies. This will enable me to transition to a Print on Demand (POD) format for this title sooner, which is far more efficient than stocking and shipping the books myself.

In the event you aren't very familiar with the book, please visit www.SpiritSimple.com to read excerpts from each of the chapters. There also is a link right on the home page for a free PDF download of Chapter 7, Abundance, and Chapter 9, Forgiveness.

If you are willing to respond to this favor request, you can purchase the book directly from me on SpiritSimple.com, and, it's just as easy to buy it from the book’s page on Amazon.com.

I sincerely thank you for your time, and your consideration of this request.

"Before any action can take place, the thought must precede it. We should THINK and then act, without first running around and telling everyone what we’re going to do. That dissipates energy and creates roadblocks.

PONDER on THIS for Thursday, February 2nd, 2012 by Daphne Rose Kingma in THE TEN THINGS TO DO WHEN YOUR LIFE FALLS APART

Jeff Maziarek — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:32:25 GMT

"Our spirits are that which is eternal in us, that which abides beyond life. Your spirit is energy itself, the energy that causes us to be here; it is you, and it is what shall remain of you when your days in the shadow-dance of life are over. It’s easy to become disengaged with our spirits because life is compelling and the material universe endlessly chanting and demanding. We can literally spend all our time engaged with our stuff, our dreams, our Life Themes, and our current taxing stories without ever stumbling into the realm of spirit.

One of the functions of crisis is to take us exactly there, to that greater awareness. It joggles us into knowing that we are more than people living so-called human lives. Difficulties get us to experience, rather than just mouth, the truth – that we are spiritual beings who are having this experience. A spiritual life is that place in our consciousness where we acknowledge the mystery, holiness, oneness, and union-through-spirit of us all."

Jeff Maziarek — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:15:21 GMT

"You can learn to be creative. All of you have experienced moments of creativity – sudden insights, new visions of the way something could be done, and bursts of inspiration. The only differences between people who think they are creative and people who think they aren’t are their beliefs about their creativity. Start telling yourself that you are a creative person.

You have the ability to generate new ideas that will take you to higher levels in your life and work. Stop for a moment and think of something you would like to improve. Then, be creative and picture something even better than you have yet imagined happening in this area. Don't accept your current circumstances as best you'll ever have. Don’t believe people when they tell you something is impossible to create."

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 31st, 2012 by Gary Spinell in IT WAS YOU, ALL ALONG

Jeff Maziarek — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:30:59 GMT

"If you do not believe you are worthy, you will attract people into your life who are not worthy enough, or make you feel unworthy, in either case matching your belief. When you allow someone to act in an undesirable way around you, and furthermore, you tolerate the behavior, you are encouraging more of the same behavior from that person. By tolerating and encouraging more of this intolerable behavior, you are disrespecting yourself. Think about that. This whole process is not about the other person. It’s about you.

You are disrespecting yourself when you allow someone to have an impact on your life inconsistent with the way you want to live your life. I am not saying the resulting experience for you is the fault of the other person. Rather, it is you who is deciding to continue these events in your life, and continue to perpetuate them every time they occur. It is imperative you break through your old belief patterns and view your beliefs from a different perspective. If you have low self-esteem and are seeking a partner who will sweep you off your feet and care for you, you will not find him or her. More importantly you will only find a person who matches the way you perceive yourself. You will attract to you a person who is also dependent, the exact opposite of what you want."

BEST of PONDER on THIS for Monday, January 30, 2012 by Neale Donald Walsch in CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD BOOK 1

Jeff Maziarek — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:04:28 GMT

"Doing is a function of the body. Being is a function of the soul. The body is always doing something. Every minute of every day it's up to something. It never stops, it never rests. It's either doing what it's doing at the behest of the soul – or in spite of the soul. The quality of your life hangs in the balance.

The soul is forever being. It is being what it is being, regardless of what the body is doing, not because of what it's doing. If you think your life is about doingness, you do not understand what you are about. Your soul doesn’t care what you do for a living – and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you’re BEING while your doing whatever you're doing."

"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

Jeff Maziarek — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:15:14 GMT

"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

Jeff Maziarek — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 05:40:13 GMT

"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

Jeff Maziarek — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 02:55:28 GMT

"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."

Jeff Maziarek — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:54:09 GMT

"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."

"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.

PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 by Marianne Williamson in EVERYDAY GRACE

Jeff Maziarek — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 02:34:47 GMT

"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."
