What others think (by Neale Donald Walsch)

As long as you are worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself.

Your Body (Twelve Insight Journal, January 23, 2011)

Your total vibration is a visceral, whole-body experience. Your mind — what you call your mind — is only a small part of what you are. You could say your body is a part of, or an extension of, your mind, but it is more than that. It is a collective of cooperative components, beings that you have to wake up to your new and improved vision. And it is easy to get your body on the same page once you know that it must be included in your vision. For your visioning to be effective you have to go to your vision with your whole body. This raises the power of your vibrational calling a million-fold or more.

Your body is a receiver of thought also, and it receives its thought most often from your sensory inputs. And so your body is this giant signal box that is sending out a signal that looks an awful lot like your day to day existence. Your hand touches the old car you drive and feels the cracked windscreen and the place where the baby spilled the chocolate milk, and responds to that. But you have this other source of input you see, and that is your imagination and your power of visioning.

So in this next exercise we want you to go to that place where you envision the life you want to have, and spend a little time there — with your whole body present — maybe fifteen minutes or so. Use all your senses. Feel your new creation with your touch, smell the smells of it, hear the sounds that are present. Embrace your vision. And be persistent about this. The tendency of your body at first will be to return you back to your presently manifested state of being.

Next, gently return to your normal world, and do a couple of simple, easy things, things that you would still be doing while you are in your envisioned new world too. Going to the bathroom maybe, listening to a little music that pleases you perhaps, washing the dishes, if you really enjoy washing the dishes. Do something that you enjoy that still allows you to keep your whole body in your vortex of creation while you are doing it.

That's the feeling you want to carry with you throughout your whole day.

So now return back once more to your new created vision/reality, and re-energize your body with it: You are realigning your body with your vision you see.

Now, as you go off through your day, take a lot of breaks, as often as you can, to re-enter your creation, and feel your way back to this vibration of already having, already living, everything that you want.

Your body must respond to one input or the other as you go through your day, and so it might as well be the input from your own chosen mental imagery and creation space as from the older, solidified vibration of what has already manifested.

Being free (by Willy Wonka)

Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly
Wish to be

What you put out is what you get back (by Bashar)

The more you demonstrate in your behavior to the Universe that you're willing to believe that what excites you the most IS what you're all about by your actions, the more the Universe will reflect more of that back to you.

Moving on (by Rumi, Fountain of Fire)

i want to leave this town

but you've chained me down
stolen away my heart
leaving yourself behind

now i've lost my way
my soul restless and head twisted
all because of those secrets
you once whispered

i only must keep
fasting my heart
to set me free
from sleepless nights

since your only advice
when you saw me in flame
was to keep burning
with you or with your thoughts

words of wisdom
came to me at last
"the beloved you've lost
the one you've been seeking outside
can only be found inside"

- Ghazal 2582, from the Diwan-e Shams
Translation by Nader Khalili
"Rumi, Fountain of Fire"

The best day in life (by Bob Moawad)

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins."

Love yourself (by Lucille Ball)

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.
You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
