There are only two ways to live one's life

Only two ways exist to live one’s life
 Either you blame or complain
Then get frustrated and unhappy

For things not working in your life

Or you appreciate and are grateful
For good ones that come on your path

No matter how little and insignificant

They may appear in your eyes

But a third or middle way doesn’t exist! 
 

For every adverse condition in your life
Millions of blessings to appreciate

And be grateful for are waiting for you

Why not turn your back right now

And release your attention

From any adverse condition

You may find yourself in 

 Never try hard to improve anything

Focus only on your current blessings

If you don’t have the relationship you want

Forget about having a better relationship

And focus all your attention and love

With appreciation and gratitude

On good things in your hand right now 

Doing so the dreamed relationship
Will follow by itself automatically

 If you are broke don’t try hard to become rich

Because the feeling of not having enough money

Will get stronger than the one of having it

And as a result you will get the reverse 

 Again focus only on the blessings

You can appreciate right now

Such as your health, your friends,

Your home, your job and so on

And the rest will follow  

Life works in such a marvelous way that

Things which produce in you good feelings

Have the tendency to gather around you

Naturally without your permission

And those that produce in you negative ones

Also do the same because like attracts like 

 You don’t get anything in this life

By chasing or running after them

But by attracting them onto you

Due to the natural law of attraction 

The mode of operation of this law

Is the same with your shadow

 When you run after your own shadow

The shadow will move fast before you

 You will never be able to catch it

 But turn your back on the shadow

It will follow you wherever you go

The same law can be observed

With an animal and its queue 

The great tragedy of human being

Looks like the story of someone who

Despite the mountain of delicious fruits

Already on the ground all around him

And ready to be savored and appreciated

He keeps focusing on the single one
Still remaining on one of the branches 

Most people are good seekers

But very pitiable receivers

They often receive what they ask

But once in their hand

The gift is no longer appreciated

And is replaced by another want 

This leads them to the same state

Of poverty about what they now want

 That’s why the notion of poverty is relative

 You will always seek something you don’t have

And as long as you don’t get it

You will feel poor and miserable

No matter all the acquisitions you posses

Ultimately turn your back on the world

And your face to the Lord the Supreme

Appreciate and be genuinely grateful

For whatever is in your hand NOW

And totally forget about all the rest

Which soon or later will take care of itself

Comments on Benjamin Franklin's appreciation and gratitude trait

"Notice the blessing in everything, big and small. Dwell on the beauty in all I see, hear, touch, taste and smell. Realize that everything is a gift from the Almighty and is put there in order to enjoy and learn from" (Benjamin Franklin).

This advice on appreciation and gratitude is Benjamin Franklin's first self mastery trait among the thirteen he developed during his lifetime. Personally, I don't know whether or not the author left some insights in relation with the outcomes attached to this advice, except the enjoyment and learning he states to be  the purpose of everything. But, one thing is sure, a deep understanding of this subtile idea is necessary in order to grasp its profound meaning. Otherwise, you would focus only on the visible part of the iceberg and completely miss the hidden and most important one.

When looking closely at this formula, it seems to gather most of the ingredients known today by almost the entire globe to be necessary in order to make the law of attraction work for you and not against you, although, as far as I know, the author didn't specifically refer to this law in his advice.

For me, this is a very powerful formula that, if applied systematically by anyone, can unlock in any area the doors of succees which, from my point  of view, means first to overcome the ego with all its demands. Second, success is also about being resistance free and totally in peace and loving, no matter how threatening or challenging the illusory environment you live in could appear in the dream you call life. That is what success means to me in the first place. It's about self mastery and die while you live; no more no less.

The first advice given by the author in this formula is to "notice the blessing in everything, big and small"; why? Let's try to look more closely at the idea and attempt to understand its profound meaning, always from our personal point of view which, anyway, could not be shared by many people and even by the author himself.

To begin, it is known that what you like, you appreciate and what you don't, makes you prefer and chose something else. In other words, without what you dislike, you wouldn't prefer something different. The teachings or Abraham refer to this as being the contrast whose purpose is to serve you and help you chose what you really want by exclusively focusing your attention on it and no longer on what you don't want. Isn't this true? And isn't it a sufficient reason to consider what you disliked before as a blessing to appreciate and be greateful for finally?

Notice also that concerning everything in this first advice, reference is made to big and small and not to good and bad. Why is that? When you see only the blessing in small things and are grateful for them constantly and consistently, due to the law of attraction, you begin to attract more and more things you are grateful for. In addition, when you pay attention and appreciate the smallest quality anyone or anything may present despite all their defaults, they change positively from your perspective.

Wayne Dyer is right when declaring that "when you change the way you look at things (appreciation, gratitude and love), the things you look at change also". It's like bringing a spark of light into a dark room. And the fact is that not only what you perceive changes, but you begin to change also in your state of mind.That's the truth!

So, you don't have to wait for big things to happen in order to be grateful, because big things don't come every day. But, little ones do almost every split second if you pay attention carefully to everything in your present environment. Thus, only small things will make the law of attraction work consistently for you. Now, when big ones come, your gratitude increases even more.

It's important to note also that, in fact, true gratitude precedes everything we could experience with our physical body, considering that we are not really our body first, but spiritual  beings. In this regard, true gratitude is first about our direct relationship with the Father. It's our connecting link with God, in response to His uncontional love for His Son (human kind), for Who We Really Are.

Now, why didn't the author refer to good and bad? The fact is that if he did, this would have created resistance among lots of people not ready yet for this kind of truth. Who would easily accept without resistance the idea that the bad condition in front of them can at the same time include the good? Wouldn't it be pure nonsense for most people?

Therefore, in order to avoid this useless resistance, to which the teachings of Abraham refer also as being the source of most of our trouble in life, the author, I assume, deliberately didn't make any mention about good and bad.

The second advice in this idea to "dwell on the beauty in all I see, hear, touch, taste and smell" is the process that helps you attract and manifest what you prefer and chose in everything using your imagination in the laboratory of your mind. In effect, every condition or situation you perceive is like a coin with its two faces, and what you get back depends on which face you focus your attention on.

In imagination when you dwell on the beauty in all you see, hear, touch, taste and smell, your five physical senses become so involved in the process in such a way that no difference exists between what you imagine and the objective reality. You start really believing that you have received what you chose and it has to manifest.

Also, the fact that you focus only on the positive aspect or dwell only on the beauty in every perception helps you release the resistance you would have experienced in your experience if it was the opposite.

"Realize that everything is a gift from the Almighty and is put there in order to enjoy and learn from" is another advice in this idea of appreciation and gratitude and suggests that even desires are part of everything. As such, they must be enjoyed like their manifested form and, in my opinion, even more.

Desires are like seeds, for which you must take care of and give all your attention, so that they may grow, expand and manifest in the physical form. When you have a desire, it is an indicator that what you want is already yours. Therefore, you should be grateful and joyful first at this stage, before manifestation occurs. Doing so, "you believe that you have received" and it would manifest soon or later. Therefore, don't wait for manifestations to occur in order to be grateful. Gratitude must come first and later, you could finally learn from experience, when time comes.

It is important to emphasize that joy, as such, is not limited only to human beings. It is extended to God Himself, Who is the bank of joy, happiness, all our good experiences and in Whom all this is amplified unlimitedly. All of us, without exception, contribute to the credit of this bank just as cells  in the body participate to the quality of our state of mind and our experiences of joy, peace, love, etc. Human kind, therefore, looks like a community of cells in the ultimate experience of life or God.

So, when we play our role as designed by God, our creator, we contribute effectively to this ultimate and unlimited experience of joy and, doing so, we get interests in our personal account and feel good in return. And, the more we contribute and get interests in our account of joy, the more we are joyful and feel good.

But if we don't contribute enough, even the little joy that was available for us is taken away (parable of talents in the bible). As a result,  we cannot feel good and receive our share from the bank of abundance, peace, joy, happiness, love and wealth all available available for us, but that we deprive ourselves most of the time due to our ignorance.

Vibrations as universal language of communication

You live in a Vibrational Universe 

As a vibrational Transmitter and Receiver

Asking and Receiving consistently

Moment to moment and endlessly

However most of the time

You Ask Unconsciously

Things in fact you Don't want

Which by Default keep Showing up 

In your life Over and Over again

The fact is there is a Universal Language

The Only language Everything in the Universe

Is Highly Sensitive and always Reacts to
Unquestionably and without failure

By the means of the LAW of ATTRACTION

It’s the language of VIBRATIONS

The only language the Entire Creation uses

To Ask and Receive whatever is necessary

For its never ending Expension

Across time and space

Words and actions alone are Meaningless

To establish true Communication in the Universe

If strong and significant Vibrations are not in mix

To Translate the Truth deep Inside of you

While Different from what you Say or Do

Vibrations never Lie
They always tell the Truth

And are Answered accordingly 

Without further external Evaluation

In the process of Asking and Receiving

That is if you are currently entertaining  Negative Feelings

Such as Doubt, Worry, Frustration, Fear and so on

These are Automatically Translated by the Universe

Into equivalent Vibrations asking to attract more of the same

Through Corresponding People, Events or Circumstances

 If your vibrations irradiate Good Will, Happiness, Peace or Abundance

That’s what you’ll get more of also

Through the same Channels of Communication  

In the form of People, Things, Places, Events, or Circumstances

Now what kind of request do you want your vibrations to convey

So that you experience only what you REALLY want ?

What to do in order to Ask and Receive Consciously and on Purpose?

First master and pay ATTENTION to your HEART or what you FEEL

While thinking, speaking, or whatever

Because attention is the main tool for the activation of VIBRATIONS

Also, pay ATTENTION  to where ATTENTION dwells

To prevent it from activating unwanting vibrations and outcomes

Second, learn to be only in the PRESENT MOMENT

and HAPPY in the NOW

Knowing that the past is gone

And the future is not here yet

Now then remains the only time there will ever be

And your only point of attraction

Third learn to be STILL in your heart, to FORGIVE and LET GO

Remember, you don’t have a clue what’s going on

Therefore, JUDGE NOT!
Because as you judge so shall you be judged
Through the VIBRATIONS of your OWN JUDGMENTS
Drawing their sameness back to you 

And thus attracting unconsciously what in fact you do not want

Fourth, learn to be PROACTIVE in your thinking, not reactive

And 100% RESPONSIBLE of your vibratory state

Through a constant and consistent ATTENTION on your heart

And things that inspire you and activate beneficial vibrations

Such of LOVE, APPRECIATION, GRATITUDE, GOOD WILL, PEACE and so on

No matter whatever you may perceive (see, hear, touch, taste and smell)

In your present environment

This way

You will start vibrating on purpose

Asking and receiving accordind to your conscious choices or TRUTH

And no longer by default

Forgiveness as medicine for peace of mind and healing

You are a spiritual being, using a physical body. As such, you must seek mostly what is spiritual, not the reverse. Don't forget your main purpose here, which is to use the world as a means for getting back home, through forgiveness and love. But, there is something very important to remember. It is that you cannot do it alone, without some help. This help is given by the Holy Spirit in you.

The Holy Spirit is your savior, because he knows everything about your life and is able to do for you what you cannot do for yourself. That is why you must leave the driver's seat of your life and completely rely on him, instead of counting on your pitty self for sustanaible solutions to your problems .

Joy, peace or love cannot precede forgiveness, just as healing cannot precede the treatment of a disease. That is impossible. Forgiveness, which is the medicine of your soul to heal your shady  mind, must come first, before healing can take place in the form of peace, joy, etc.

It is only when your mind is healed, that the experience of something else can follow. That means, your other needs are fullfilled after the appropriate state of mind is achieved.  Nothing can be found in shady water,  quite as nothing constructive can go out of a disturbed spirit.

So stillness, which is  for water what forgiveness is for the mind,  is required, before clarity may come and enable you to find what you have been searching  for so long, the Holy Spirit; the solution to all your problems, which has always been there, waiting  for you quietly, patiently and lovingly.
 
The only reason you weren't able to find Him, up to this moment, is merely because you continued with  excitement to disturb the water of the river (your mind) with all your unconscious negative thoughts, instead of calming down, letting go and relax, in order to achieve the stillness state that brings clarity and healing.

 "Seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else will be added onto you". Realize that the key to the Kingdom is forgiveness, through which  clarity, love, joy, happiness, good, kindness, peace, gratitude, appreciation, charity, satisfaction and so on, can be found. As soon as you unlock the door, you can then experience all other benefits.

The mistake most people do is seeking the benefits first, in form of acquisitions, for instance. However, in this way, it is but putting the cart before the horse. God, All That Is, should be your main center of interest, before anything else. Consequently, love Him unconditionally and, let the Holy Spirit guide you, as you don't know how to do.  It is in this condition only, that the rest (health, relationship, acquisitions...) can follow.

The fact is, when you put something else before God, it will take time to come into manifestation. As a result , you become frustrated, anxious, worried, unhappy, disappointed, etc. And, due to the law of attraction, the more you feel that way, the more you become so, and the less you have chance to get what you want.

The universe reacts like a dog

You know that dogs have a very sensitive smell, right? But, did you know that they cannot make the difference between your smell of fear and your smell of hatred. That is, when you are afraid of dogs or do not like them, specially bad ones, their reaction to your attitude will be the same. They will bark and bite you. Period!

This reaction, in fact, translates only one thing: your lack of love!

The universe functions exactly the same way. You feelings of worry, anxiety, despair, abandonment, weakness, powerlessness, threat, insecurity, poverty, uneasiness, fear, shame, resentment, anger, frustration, tension and so on are all resistance to what is, and this resistance is perceived by the universe as lack of love also and a request to give more!

But, what is most grave with this is the fact that this resistance, whatever form it takes, is perceived by the universe as a request from you to receive more of the same. However, it is not what you really wants. What you want in fact is the contrary, or the opposite of the thing that creates resistance in you, and you believe that through your resistance, salvation will come.

But, things do not work this way and the universe does not function like that because it works in an harmonious and consistent way. Therefore, it can bring to you only what you asked for and you ask by projecting what you are every moment of the day.

If fear is your state of mind in this moment, know that you are asking for more fear. If frustration is what you have become, know that you are asking for more frustration. If it is anger, you are asking for more anger, etc.

But, all these negative emotions mean only one thing, as said earlier, that you are resisting to what is. This resistance itself is processed and translated by the law of attraction into lack of love, before being received by the universe as a request to produce more of the same.

People do not understand that and do exactly the opposite of what is to be done. However, know one thing, all your negative attitudes are only the opposite of love. Be love, be what you really are, and there will be nothing else.

Happy new year 2009

This is one of our last posts for 2008, and an opportunity for us to wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous new year 2009. It is our wish for you. But, the result depends on you. Only.

When we look a few months back , we notice that many dreams we would like to have realized during this year, didn't come true. And we hope that the upcoming year will bring us the opportunities to live these dreams.

But, the thing is, the truth is : nothing is missing in your life. Nothing. Except, experiences. That is the only thing we need. Your hope for a better future is a direction to Who You Really Are. Reason why the experience of hope just perpetuates, over and over again in your life. Recognizing, assuming and accepting that you have it all already in abundance, potentially, is an important step in the direction of creating the reality you chose in your life.

How is that ?
According to quantum physisists, energy is at the core of everything in existence. Everything. Without exception. And this energy exists in abundance in the universe, and beyond. Now, if you are-and you are- yourself this energy, everything else around you, including the object of your dream, is, also.

The only difference that exists between you and objects around you, is the frequency of their vibration. Yes. That's it. Every form of energy vibrates at a specific frequency. When you reach the same frequency level as something, you vibrate at the same frequency and are aligned with it. Then, it can manifest in your life, almost litterally.

Why is that ? The answer is simple : like attracts like. When you form a specific image in your imagination, a mental image, it projects itself, at fruition, in the physical world. With the law of attraction, the mental image in your imagination will attract to itself anything of the same vibration, subatomic particles, particles, atoms and so on, in order to take its physical form. Such as a car, a home, etc. Still as energy, this mental image will use its infinite intelligence to synchronize events, circumstance or people to project itself into the physical world.

How then can you reach the same frequency level of anything else ? Through your attention. When you put your attention on something, you start vibrating at the same frequency. Your thoughts and feelings are some of the tools that help crystallize your attention on something. And many techniques , such as visualisation, and so on, can produce the same result, also.

One thing to know and remember is that this energy is infinitely intelligent, in such a way that it does not need your help to reorganize itself into the object of your thought. The only thing that is required from you is, direction, and trust. Unfortunately, most people get confused in this process between their role, and the role of the Infinite Intelligence. And when this confusion occurs, the creation process is jammed. Often, they give direction and attempt to create or manifest at the same time. As a result, they fail, get frustrated and finally give up.

Coming back to our main idea, what we want to emphasize is this. You, as energy, are and have already everything. You just want to experience it. The energy you are exists in abundance in the universe, which is by the way all energy itself. It can take any form, according to the direction you give it. No direction, no movement, no movement, no creation, no creation, no experience.

When you are in the elevator for example, you must press a button, corresponding to the number of the floor you want to go to. If you don't, you won't move, and will just stay there. But, potentially, you can be taken to whatever floor you'd like to move to.

Energy, spirit, is like that. Potentially, il enables you to experience anything, whatsoever. But, to do that, it needs direction and trust, also.

One thing to bear in mind is that energy or spirit is, not only infinite intelligence, but highly sensitive, also. Any thought, feeling or emotion given out is a direction that will lead to an experience of the same nature. That is why most people have experiences they didn't ask for, but were produced by default, often unconsciously.

But, there is many ways to experience purposely and consciously. One of them is by exercising your imagination. That means, you experience first in your imagination the thing you desire, until it becomes real, so to speak. In your imagination, the experience must feel as if it was real, now. At the point that you even no longer need to experience it physically. That is very important. For that, all your five senses must be engaged in the process. That's the real meaning of acting as if.

Thank you for your attention.

Do you know what I am doing right now? I am putting my attention on you, and imagine you applying successfully the process and enjoying your experiences. I do not hope. Because I undersatnd that hope, will only produce more hope. And nothing else. I give direction to the universal and infinite intelligence energy, which always follows and manifests itself in the physical form, according to the direction given by all of us.
