A Single Thought of Gratitude Raised to Heaven Is the Most  Perfect Prayer

–(Gotthold Ephraim Lessing)

As a spiritual counselor I have dealt with many people over the years and I have a lot of compassion for all human frailties – - as God knows I have my own. I never judge people’s weaknesses,  choices,  mistakes, life style or their problems. I am only here to help and encourage but never to judge.

However, I must say that I have no empathy for the “ingrates” because those people never have and never will have enough, regardless of the abundance as they are incapable of recognizing their blessings and values and refuse to be grateful. To me these are the true ‘poor’ people, even if they have money. The lack of gratitude can also produce greed as there is never enough. And it’s a bottomless basket that can never be filled.

Gratitude is one of the Buddha’s great Virtues, it is a gift that we owe.…and we only owe it to ourselves. Why?  Because when we are grateful we are admitting that we have and then more shall be given.

What Are You Programming In Your Mind?

Through our thinking process we program our subconscious mind which does not judge good from bad, real from false. It only takes in what we give it and it acts upon that programming. Our mind is a most sophisticated computer so we better learn how to program this biological computer of ours  correctly with  positive and constructive thoughts for our  highest good.

Each time that we give thanks to the Universe we are actually admitting that we have. I give thanks every morning upon awakening for a new day of life. I give thanks each day as today I have more than I need, thank you Father! Today I have more food than I can eat, more money in my wallet than I can spend;  today I have a whole new life ahead of me. I give thanks for the functions of my body, for the sun light, for the love of God, for my friends, for my family and for the gift of LIFE, itself.

Unfortunately,  many people choose to dwell on the problems of life, which we all have at one time or another, with fear instead of faith, hope and gratitude.  Life is not an easy journey for anyone, but even in the midst of turmoil there is always something to be grateful for.

Each of us, at one point or another, go through the dark night of the soul, the valley of the shadow. Life is not always easy for anyone even for those who are viewed as highly successful. They too have their challenges.

One of the  main problem with many of us humans is the inability and, only too often, the unwillingness to leave the past behind.  These people  spend most of their present life regretting, resisting and resenting the past which can never be changed for the rest of eternity.  We can only learn from the past but we cannot  live in the past.  To live in the past is to become paralized thus unablle to move forth  and live in the present moment.  Then there are many of us who constantly live in fear and worry about the future and never have time to be grateful for the now which is the only time we truly have to live.   Let go of the past….. have faith in the future…… and be grateful for the gift of Life right  now!

What Are You Grateful For?

But even in the midst of difficulties we can always find gratitude for something. Regardless of how difficult things may be, or appear to be, always remember that we are still breathing, our hearts are beating, our legs and arms are mobil and, as long as there is life and air to breathe, there is hope. Never give into despair because God will never forsake us if we just acknowledge His Presence and His Love in gratitude which is the highest form of prayer

Over a year ago I lost my precious son to cancer, the most difficult lesson of my entire life. However each and every day I would thank God for giving me the strength to care for my child for many months during his illness. I would thank God that my boy was not dying alone in an empty hospital room.  He was home with his brother and I to care and be with him. He was surrounded by love by all of our family. I thanked God daily for having given me my precious son even though his life was short. When at the end he left this Planet I was grateful that he was no longer suffering and, praise God,  I still had one son left,  my younger son Jesse, to love and to cherish.  I had two choices: I could go to pieces or I could go to Peace.

I chose the Peace of God who was always by my side to give me strength and courage and above all acceptance of that which was destined to be.

I am not saying these things to show how brave I am, Oh no! Trust me when I say that I have walked many times through rough and steep roads and it was never easy. I know only too well how difficult it is to maintain faith when everything around gives us reasons to fear and despair. The Spiritual Path is not easy and it takes courage, patience, determination and discipline to maintain faith under all circumstances.

“Narrow is the gate and straight is the way….many are called but few enter”

I am expressing these feelings in gratitude hoping to help others to find gratitude even when life’s lessons are hard.
I grew up in Italy during World War II and let me tell you that those were very difficult times for all.
Our family gave thanks every day even if we only had a few potatoes or beans to eat. We gave thanks that we were still alive in the midst of bombing and destruction.
On the top level of our home three bedrooms were destroyed by a bomb, yet we were grateful that we had a storage room on the lower level which we converted into one single bedroom for myself, my mother and my aunt. We still had a roof over our head and for that we were grateful and gave thanks. We were alive and still together and for that we thanked God profusely.

There is an old saying: “I was crying because I had no shoes…….till I saw a man without feet” Amen!!

In this Wetern World we have so much more than millions of others on earth. But we always seem to want and need more. If we are grateful for that which we already have and are, then more will come as needed. Remember that abundance is of God on all levels of our being.
Abundance in love and joy, abundance in good health, abundance in financial affairs.
So wake up each morning and give thanks for Life itself!

Do you really want to glorify God?……Be grateful!

Peace and blessings!

- Matthew 18: 21-23

Why is that we humans find it so difficult to forgive? Often times you hear people proudly saying “I forgive… but… I never forget!”.

Of course, unless you are senile or have a mental handicap, you cannot forget what happens to you, but you can let go and not dwell on the negativity of resentment, judgment or vengeance.

Forgiveness does not mean to condone wrong doings and inappropriate behavior. To forgive is to let go, cut the string, drop your rock – as no one can ever change the past and neither can our actions change anyone else. We can only change ourselves.

Of course we all have experienced some of the hurts that others have inflicted upon us. However, the reality is that each and every one of us will, sooner or later, make mistakes and say words that will hurt others. No one is perfect and it’s not always easy to be human!!

When someone offends you, hurts or abuses you do not accept nor condone such behavior. Forgiveness does not mean allowing people to repeatedly do wrongs against you.

Oh…no, not at all!

The slogan “Turn the other cheek” does not necessarily mean to get slapped on the face over and over again. Turn the other cheek literally means for you to walk away from the negative situation and to move forward in the right direction – into the path of forgiveness.

Ultimately, forgiveness is the only path to freedom for your mind and soul. It’s the path to peace.

“What is a good man …but a bad man’s teacher?  What is a bad man…..but a good man’s job?”  (Tao Te Ching)

Is forgiveness the quality of a good man…of a good teacher?

It is not a privilege to select the right congregation in our life, but rather it is our spiritual responsibility, our spiritual duty to choose whom and what we are willing to allow to “reside” in our lives.

Often time’s people hurt us not because they are evil, but rather because they don’t live up to our set expectations. They choose to walk to their own path, make their own individual choices based on their own wants and desires. Often we may not approve of their decisions and become hurt and offended. But it is their God’s given right to choose for their own selves.

If they make the right decisions they will benefit, if they make the wrong decisions they will have no one to blame and hopefully they will learn from their mistakes.
I honestly believe that there is goodness in everyone, but none of us has yet reached perfection, so we are all vulnerable. However we do not have to allow anything to enter and remain in our lives that doesn’t bring us joy, fulfillment and above all peace.

Eventually each of us will unintentionally hurt someone as we live our lives our own way. We are after all humans and still far from perfection!

Lack of forgiveness comes from self righteousness, judgment, condemnation and resentment toward those who do not live up to our own set standards and expectations.

I am very aware of the fact that there are many seriously mentally ill people, sick enough to kill, to rape, to steal and those must be put away because they need to be removed from society.

But even those must be forgiven. Should we allow crime? Oh…no!!! That’s not forgiveness; it would only be another crime. Physically ill, mentally damaged people and criminals need to be kept in hospitals or other institutions, including prisons. But, as difficult as it may be, it is essential to find a path of forgiveness for those poor lost souls through a greater understanding. “Forgive them father as they know not what they are doing”.

But most of us are not victims of crime, rather we choose to be a victim as we allow some people or circumstances to continually hurt and abuse us.

Let go!!!

Seek to let go of anything that is unpleasant or that upsets and hurts you. That’s truly how the process of forgiveness works…first letting go and then moving forward.

Unfortunately too many of us humans have a hard time in letting go of the negative thoughts and emotions because, in a negative and self destructive ways, we choose to remain attached to the past.

As long as we don’t let go we don’t forgive and neither can we move forward. Stagnation can only bring deterioration.

The lack of forgiveness only hurts us, it is a poison to our minds and spirits, and yet forgiveness is a healing balm to our bodies, minds and souls.

There are many people who tightly and dearly hold unto their victim mentality as they constantly blame others, or the world, or the system and, at times, even God Himself for not giving them what they want or feel they deserve. You’ll hear many reasons and rationale for their attitudes and the “because” behavior.
“There is no justice in this world. I have been hurt because my father was abusive, because my wife left me, because I hate my job and don’t make enough money, because I didn’t have a chance to get an education, because my family was poor, my brother is an alcoholic…and on…and on…and on…”

It is a vicious cycle and a “no end” road for so many. I do believe that these people enjoy every moment of misery in their lives and they rather be the victims instead of moving on and creating a better life for themselves and for those around them. I know this because I have worked with many individuals in my life that constantly perpetuate misery instead of putting efforts in finding joy and peace. They just cannot forgive – period. They will not let go! As long as you resent, judge and condemn you are not forgiving…thus…you are not free!!!

Have you ever noticed how some people , the perpetual victims, resent and  are not capable to forgve others for being better looking, more successful, for having more money, a bigger home, a better car, more talented children…etc.?   These are truly the poor people in spirit.

The tragedy of this attitude is they cannot understand that, as long as they are incapable of rejoicing for other people success and happiness, they cannot attract for themselves that which they envy and resent in others. They just cannot forgive the fact that those people who are doing well are the kind of people that work hard and hold a positive, constructive and faithful attitude. The victims can have the same things by walking-the-walk and doing the work necessary, but they rather hate and complain than correcting their own attitude, way of thinking and feeling process and are totally unable and unwilling to forgive themselves, others and life itself.

Forgiveness means to “Give- Forth”…. move on…. let go… walk away from those that are not of “like mind” and of “like principles”. Don’t hate, judge or condemn others. Just do your best to let go of any negativity in your life…walk…move forth…drop your rock… stop feeling sorry for yourself and forgive.

Above all you must forgive your own shortcomings, your own mistakes, your own human frailty and never live in guilt…..never!! Guilt is not of God as  only love and forgiveness are spiritual gifts.

Don’t ever beat  yourself on the chest  with the latin weapon of guilt  ”mea culpa….. mea maxima culpa……”   like some religious institutions teach you to do.   To sin means to miss the mark, so…. just move on and…. sin no more!

If you are focusing on  living your life in peace and love you will not find it hard at all to forgive yourself and others. But if you choose to live your life in regret, judgment and condemnation it is your choice and you have no one to blame but yourself.

Whatever you sow, so shall ye also reap.

So decide how you want your life to be! You are the creator of your own destiny. Choose then the right path, move on while ackowledging  the presence of God within you…. forgive  your self  along with  those that trespass against you!

“To err is human…….to forgive is divine”

“God sent a messenger with a wonderful message and the people said: “Forget the message……. let’s worship the messenger”.

And this is exactly what we so called Christians have done. We have worshiped the messenger who never asked to be worshiped. Jesus was a true Jew and it was actually against the Jewish belief system to worship any thing or anyone outside of God Himself.

God — the only True Essence and Substance of all that is.

Jesus walked the streets where he could heal, talk and teach. He treated his disciples as brothers and associated with the common people, even the despised tax collectors and harlots. Are these the ways of someone who wants to be called Lord and be worshiped?

Through the centuries Jesus has been given many different attributes and titles such as Lord, Rabbi, King of Kings and so on. In John 14:12 He told us:

“Verily verily I say unto you: he that believeth in me, the works that I do, shall he do also, and greater works shall he do; because I go unto my Father”.

No Lord nor King would ever say to his subordinates they could be as great as he and even greater. Only a loving, elder and wiser brother would tell us that we can be as great as he by following his teachings. Jesus is our brother and we too can learn to go onto our Father for loving guidance, healing, peace, joy and prosperity.

The truth may be when He taught us how to pray in Matthew 6:9 –

“Our Father, which are in Heaven…..”

If Jesus called God “our” Father, then he must be our brother, our spiritual brother who had evolved beyond and above the world of fear and death, the world of human illusions.

God IS our Father and we all have the same right to love and be loved by Him.

If “Man” could just remember that “He” is the beloved Son of God, then this world would truly be Paradise on Earth where nothing but brotherly love and peace would abound!

If we humans had fully understood and followed the teachings of this wonderful man, this great teacher, this true mystic… there would be no wars, no hatred, no prejudices, no divisions of churches, no divisions among mankind.

“I came so that ye might have life more abundant

And what have we humans done in His name? We have kept people poor and ignorant and only the Religious Institutions have been prosperous and abundant.

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so
unlike your Christ”
(Mohandas Gandhi)

Oh…my dearest…. beloved brother Jesus, what have we humans done in your name?

We have created religion after religion, myth after myth, legend after legend; we have created separation and hatred among mankind; we have truly separated ourselves from the Truth of God and have remained pagans for two thousand years.

Yes man is very intelligent, but still very ignorant and dormant when it comes to the realities of the true God within him.

I honestly believe that religions have kept us from connecting with God, the Truth of God, the Love of God.

Jesus didn’t come here to start a new religion, but rather he came to teach us a universal spiritual way of life, which is the realization of our oneness with the Whole, with God with the Infinite. When people started looking up to him, idolizing him, worshiping him as an oracle, what was his answer?

“If I speak of myself I bear witness to a lie. Of my own self I can do nothing, but the Father within me…..He doeth the work”.

We too have the capacity and the nature of God within us if we just learn how to rely on Him, how to stay out of His way and let Him do the works. We pray but we have to tell God how, when and where He should do His works. We ask, but we doubt, we pray but we don’t believe, so we beg and plea without realizing that God is not a man out there in the sky with a huge ego who needs to be begged, but rather God is the Source and Substance of all that exists in this physical world and throughout the whole Universe.

When Jesus was going to meet his death the apostles asked Him: “What do you want us to do when you are gone?”
And Jesus answered:

“Go and tell the people the Kingdom of God is within you”…….and…… “Love one another as I have loved you”.

And what have we humans done in his name?

We still fight and hate in the name of God. My god is better than your god, my truth is the only truth, let me convert you to my religion because my religion is the only one. And on… and on….and on…..

Unfortunately religions have separated mankind from God because they are based only on man made rules and regulations.

All religious institutions are like any other organization in this world of ours, just rules and regulations, business and politics.
And of course this is true of almost all religions and not just Christianity. All over the world, in every language, in every culture, among all racial groups, man has created a god in his own image, and most of us humans have chosen to worship the messengers as idols instead of following the message of the many Enlightened Teachers that have walked on planet Earth.

Yes….they have built magnificent cathedrals, churches and temples to glorify their god, but they never have told us that WE are ONE with God just as everything else in nature is. God is the true source, essence and substance of all that exists here on earth and throughout Infinity, thus God is us and we are God expressed in physical form.

“The Father and I are one. Wherever I stand is holy ground. All the Father hath is mine”
(The Infinite Way – Joel Goldsmith)

Through the law of evolution man has discovered and learned to utilize many substances and energies to make and construct many wonderful and amazing things, but man cannot create and can only use whatever God has created here on earth and beyond.
Can man create electricity? Can he create the air we breath, the water we drink as the main substance of our physical body? Can he create rocks, dirt, animal or plant life? I don’t think so.

We humans can only make, build and construct by evolving, discovering and utilizing the infinite richness of God’s creation.

Hopefully the next step of evolution will elevate man’s consciousness from the deep state of spiritual dormancy to the full realization that we humans are not just physical bodies, but that we are indeed true spiritual beings.
“The kingdom of God is within us” And so it is!

We build our fortune thought by thought for so the Universe was wrought. Thought is an other name for fate, choose then your destiny and wait for Love brings Love and hate brings hate.

– Henry Van Dyke 1852-1933

There are two basic forces that rule this polarized dual world of ours: LOVE and FEAR.

LOVE the root of all that is GOOD! Fear the root of all evil. Therefore where there is Love there cannot be fear; where there is fear there cannot be Love.

Have you noticed how fast and strongly people react to fear? 

They tell negative reports, like the media does, and the negativity spreads like an epidemic with plenty of followers and spreaders of gloom. Tell the Truth and very few are willing to listen and much less believe.

Why is that? Is it because we have been programmed for thousands of years to be fearful? Do you realize how much power some people have gained by keeping the masses in fear? (fear is nothing more than lack of knowledge)

Well, I think the rulers, the kings, dictators, the authorities and some religious organizations may be a very good  example of those trying to rule by fear.

When I speak of fear I am not referring to caution and common sense. Caution and common sense are innate instincts for self preservation.

I grew up in the old countries where questioning was not allowed by the authorities. We had no choice but to believe their lies. No questions were ever allowed and you only did what you were told to do and to believe thus we lived in deep ignorance and fear of God Himself. Guilt and fear were our modus vivendi.

Everyone was kept in deep ignorance by the hypnotic programming of the authorities. They didn’t want us to know the truth about God and His love for us. They created a god in their own image, a god of vengeance, punishment, judgment, prejudice … which was intended to keep the masses under their control.

Ernest Holmes, the founder of Science Of Mind Church once said:

“I daily thank the God that IS, that the god that man created does not exist”

Amen to that!

“The things I feared the most came upon me” said Job.

Of course! Our brain is a most complex computer and it can only give us what we program in. Love or fear, Good or evil.

What Are You Programming Yourself To Receive?

I remember the early days of computer when the phrase GI-GO was often used. Garbage In…..Garbage Out. That’s it!  We can only experience and receive that which we strongly program and believe in our consciousness. If we input good , the output is good. It’s that simple!

So why  people can’t do that? Why can’t we program this biological computer of ours with: GOOD in….GOOD out?  Only fears, false beliefs and lack of knowledge condition our consciousness and keep us from believing and expecting God’s goodness in our lives, and so in fact we actually perpetuate our own misery.

Always remember these three magic words:  Desire-Belief-Expectancy.

Desire, believe and expect good things to come to you and they will. This is the Universal Law of Attraction. The same is true of fear. If we fear, believe and expect negative things, sure enough they too come our way. The same Law applies because we are the creators of our lives, good or bad….that’s our choice.

If in the spring time you plant in your garden poison oak instead of roses, is the earth going to argue with you? Is it going to say” Oh….no…don’t plant poison oak it’s going to sting you? Of course not! The earth will take what we give to it, whatever we sow, and the Universal Law of Attraction can only bring forth the fruits of our labor, of our choices, of our consciousness. As within…..so without.  As above…..so below.

I always try to avoid any negative energy because negativity begets negative results.

“Whatever ye sow….so shall ye also reap”

If you are in a state of fear you are not in a state of faith, but if you have faith and love you will always overcome the human fear.

All of us humans have moments of fear and doubts. Of course! Even Jesus had moments of anger, fear and doubt.  The thing to do is not to dwell on fear because fear is what the devil is.  I do not walk the walk as well as I talk the talk because I’m only human and have not reached perfection yet. However,  when I catch myself being fearful I tell the devil “get ye behind me satan”. You are a liar so go to hell where you belong. And the devil is nothing other than the human doubt ad fear.

Focus On Fear Gives It Power

We all experience doubts, but let us not dwell on them. If you pick up a boiling tea kettle and it’s burning hot, why would you keep holding onto it? Let it go….drop the darn kettle before it scalds your hand. But so many of us humans seem to always and relentlessly hang onto our fears. The more we focus on them the more power they have over the quality of our lives.

One most efficient way I have learned when combating with fear, is to just stop right there and start remembering all the blessings in our life. You are still breathing…you are still moving…thinking…feeling….you are alive so start giving thanks for the gift of life itself! How many people who are in prisons, in hospitals or that are homeless would give anything to be in your place? Remember how blessed you are. And the more grateful (great-full) you become, the more fear disappears and fades away. The devil cannot exist in the Light of God, but only in the darkness of man’s belief systems.

Hypnotic Tools Used To Control You

Fear and guilt, one of the same, are the two most powerful hypnotic tools and they have controlled the masses for thousands of years.

I cannot say that it’s easy to overcome the fears of the world. Life is not an easy journey, especially for those that have come here to grow and spiritually evolve. The higher the educational level, the more difficult the lessons. Yes…all of us, sooner or later, will experience moments of worry, dispair and doubt. It’s part of the human nature. No one who exists in a human form will ever have perfect faith. We humans stumble and fall, but we pull ourselves up and continue to follow the right path through constant effort and discipline.

The more we dwell on Love and Faith, the easier it is to overcome the fears of this world.

A young Rabbi once said to me:

“It’s not easy to be human Dioro. it would be so much easier to be totally divine”

Amen!

As long as we are in this physical body on this physical plane, we have to constantly chase the devil away which keeps tempting us to give into despair, sorrow, worry, fear.

My husband used to say: “Worrying is praying for the things we do not want” And he was right! The more we worry, the more we fear, the more we attract that which we fear the  most.

It’s Time To Awaken

It’s now time on Planet Earth to awaken and dissipate the darkness of ignorance by allowing the Light of God, the Light of Universal Truth to shine upon the Earth and in our lives. Unfortunately mankind has forgotten our true nature. We are the sons and daughters of the One and Only God, and God is nothing but Love and goodness. We need to just allow Him/Her/It to dwell within us and work through us.

If you block all the windows and glass doors in your house with plywood, the sun cannot shine through, but nevertheless the sun is still out there shining its brilliant light.

So let us open the doors and the windows of our souls so that we can clearly see the Light that always and constantly shines upon us and within us.

“Thou shall know the truth…and the truth shall set you free”

There are hundreds of Organizations on the Internet that teach many wonderful things, but what seems to appeal to people the most is getting rich…rich… and happy…happy…happy…

Many books and CDs are being published and getting more and more popular each day.

Personally, I welcome such knowledge to be exposed to the public because I have been involved in the world of Metaphysics since 1968 when all of it was a taboo. Thank God now it’s all in the open and it’s time for man to learn the truth about his real nature.

We are spiritual beings and we are powerful co-creators of our earthly experiences, good or bad, and it’s time we awaken to such a reality and learn to live up to our highest potential. Unfortunately many are attracted to this type of teachings thinking that they will get wealthy and happy.

Be aware that there are many new teachings which are nothing but sham, nothing more than new religions, new myths, new superstitions.

It’s a time of awakening, but unfortunately many individuals and organizations are capitalizing on the innocent …naive and gullible people by claiming false powers, by promising wealth and happiness to everyone while they are the only ones to reap monetary rewards.

Man’s greed and corruption still prevails on Planet Earth, so be wise and do not believe everything that’s exposed on the Internet.

Seek the truth… always…. because only the “truth” shall set you free from the false illusions of the physical world.

Abundance, well being, peace and joy are qualities of God who has created such a beautiful and abundant world for us.

However we forget the true nature of our consciousness and we become strictly materialistic in our dreams and desires.

I don’t believe that every one of us has come here to make lots of money and be happy…happy…all the time. I know many people with lots and lots of money and yet they are truly poor in spirit and never content with their lives, it’s never enough and there is always more to get.

Money is good and it’s not the root of all evil as we have been led to believe for centuries by some religious organizations.

Money is just an exchange of energy to provide to our physical needs and it’s the manna that God sent to Moses to survive in the desert.
Money is absolutely necessary for our survival and comforts just like the air we breath and the water we drink because everything we need is provided for us through this exchange of energy. Money is good!

The “greed” of money is the root of all evils and it corrupts everything it touches.

As long as there is greed there will never be wealth and happiness. Greedy people will always be poor in spirit and unhappy because greed can never be the answer to contentment, joy and peace and it’s a bottomless pit that will never be filled.

“There is enough for man needs…but not enough for man’s greed” – Mohandas Gandhi”

The same is true of happiness. How can any normal human being be happy all the time? Only mentally handicapped children smile and are happy…happy… all the time, and maybe even they have moments of human emotions and pains.

Happiness comes in cycles and it is never a permanent state of being and feeling.
The day you get married is a happy experience …when your children were born was a most happy and rewarding experience, special holidays, trips to specific places, birth day parties, when we fall in love… etc…etc…those are indeed happy moments, but it can never be a permanent and constant state of being.

Often times what people call happiness is nothing but excitement and euphoria and never a constant state of mind.

I have noticed that many people act as though they were happy, smiling most of the time, but they are never content with their lives, therefore the false happiness they display is nothing more than a facade, a persona.

There is always some one who has more, who is better than they are, who knows more, who has traveled more, who has a better education etc…etc…and they spend most of their lives always wanting more, comparing themselves to others, competing with others and never…ever…content with what they are or have.

“CONTENTMENT” however can be and is a constant and permanent state of being.
When you find contentment you shall then find “PEACE”.

When you are content with what you have then you are indeed a very rich person! You shall never want for anything because when you are content you also have a sense of gratitude for what you have today…right now….and more and better shall come.
When we are content and grateful we are holding good constructive inner feelings with faith and trust, thus the Universal Law of Attraction will respond in the same assured and positive way.

If the Law of Attraction would respond to just words and wishes, then the whole world would be happy and very rich.

This Universal Law will respond to your inner feelings, to what you really are, feel, believe and expect.

When you are content within yourself, when you are content and grateful for all the goodness that is in your life without greed for more and more…then you are blessed and fulfilled, you are indeed rich!
You then have everything and above all you shall have peace and that’s the only kind of riches that we will take with us beyond this world at the end of this earthly journey.
Contentment is a divine gift and, above all, when we are content with ourselves we then have no envy, no jealousy, no resentment, no competitions with anything or anyone.

Of course I am not saying that we should be content with poverty, lack or illness. Oh…no!!!!

Poverty and lack are not of God, but only man made and old religious belief systems that self denial is good.

Never…never….deny your Gods’ given right to have an abundant life. Abundance in finances, abundance in love, peace and health. Those are the divine gifts of our Creator!

Being content with our own selves means to like what we are, to respect what we are because we live by principles of honesty, integrity, love for humanity, peace and joy along with gratitude. What could be better?

Try sometime to sit in front of a mirror and look straight into your own eyes and see what you can find within yourself. I am not speaking of vanity or looking at the body. Beauty comes from within. There are many physically good looking and pretty people that are not beautiful at all because of who and what they are within.

Look inside you….within your soul….let the mirror reflect back to you the truth about your inner being.

If you are content with who and what you are, then you are living your life with peace and harmony and you are a rich person!

Of course in this world of ours we seem to always judge materiality as the ultimate way of life. But we are wrong!

At the end of this journey there is nothing of material value that we can take with us , but peace, love and gratitude for this earthly experience will be with us forever.

Yes…life is not always easy for anyone and we all go through difficulties and challenges at different times.

This earth is not a play ground but rather it is a school and learning cannot be always easy.

The loss of a loved one, an illness in the family, the loss of a job, a divorce… etc…etc…those are experiences that bring difficulties and challenges in our lives.

Of course we are after all humans and we do experience sadness and emotional difficulty at times, but even when difficulties arise in our lives we can still find contentment and gratitude for being alive, for still being functional, for our mental abilities, our physical senses and mostly for knowing that the God within us will always get us through the rough roads.

“ If God brings you to it…He will bring you through it”

Happy moments…praise God
Difficult moments….seek God
Quiet moments….worship God
Painful moments…trust God
Every moment…thank God

Don’t be happy… happy….happy all the time. You will never find stability and peace within yourself.

Be content and more will come because the Universal Law of Attraction will respond to your inner feelings and it will act accordingly.

“Whatever ye sow….so shall ye also reap”

If you are free of envy, jealousy, hatred, prejudices and all the human fearful emotions, you shall then be content and your life will abound with well-being on all levels of existence.

“All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive”

– Matthew 21:22

True prayer generates miracles. Whenever our brother Jesus was to perform any of His miracles He gave thanks beforehand, saying: “Thank you Father, for thou hearest me”, then the miracle was performed. Each and everyone of us is a miracle worker. You might not realize it, but with each and every feeling in our heart, each of us prays constantly. Living is praying!

Many of us go to Church, Temple or Shrine. We wear our best clothes in the presence of the Almighty just as we would in the presence of a king sitting on a high throne.

However we don’t realize that we actually are praying constantly, all day and all night long; with every thought we hold in our minds and hearts, we pray to God. We cannot NOT pray!

Truly, as long as anyone of us exists, either in a physical or non-physical form, we are a thought in the mind of God. Not to be a thought in the mind of God is to be nonexistent. We can’t actually be disconnected from God; it’s an illusion-of-ego, which is up to you to dispel.

Every thought we hold, good or bad, God knows!   We speak to God relentlessly, every instant of our eternal life, as we talk to “ourselves”,  the God within us.

  God gives us everything we ask in prayer, but only as we believe (image-visualize-feel )  shall we receive. When we ask in prayer for anything, we must hold that thought, that particular image of the end results we desire, in our consciousness from then forth, knowing that our prayers are already answered.

Many of us go to Church on Sunday morning making that our special holy day by giving alms and offerings to God, and that is very good; anything done in  love is good and holy.

But what about the other six days of the week? What do many of us do after that sense of spiritual luster subsides at the end of Sunday and we start preparing ourselves for another week of work and challenges to face? Well… most of us get off our holiness, faith and trust in God and we go back on track with our thoughts of fear. We ask God to help us on Sunday and then, on Monday through Saturday, we constantly live in doubt and fear  that He may not answer our prayers.

On Monday morning we feel sluggish, we dread our jobs. We listen to the news on the way to work, we start thinking about all the work that’s ahead of us, loading up on stress before we actually get on the job. Our bills and responsibilities dance in our head. We worry about finances and our safety, we argue with our bosses and loved ones, we doubt our own strength and potential. We feel our pains, physical and emotional. We complain most of the day about the weather, the economical situations, the news, the stock market, the politicians or bill collectors. We poison ourselves , by inwardly or outwardly, blaming our loved ones and others for not making us happy and we say: “Oh…God….give me a break and make my life better”

And God answers:

Yes my child, I want to give you all the breaks you desire. I want nothing but joy for you just as you want joy for your own children, but you just don’t give me much of a chance.

I gave you a break last Sunday morning when you asked for my help. I heard you and I was doing my work,  then on Monday morning you changed your mind, you started again, asking for stress, worries, pains and misery.

I give you exactly what you want, but you must be consistent in your desires.  Make up your mind my child and I will give you exactly what you ask for in the same proportion as you desire, believe and expect. 

When you come to Church on Sunday you put your best clothes on for me which I do not see as I only see you naked as I made you, you can’t hide from me.

You sing hymns, you light candles. You intone  words of love and beauty to placate the anger you imagine I have for you hoping to get my attention, my love and my forgiveness. You pray begging and ask for grace for you and your loved ones, but you don’t really believe I hear.

Your music is beautiful; your clothes are lovely; the Church is in a state of festivity and the congregation acts as though they really understand my nature. I hear and see all that, but what I don’t ever receive is your unconditional TRUST in me.

You ask for my grace and mercy on one hand and deny my power to hear you on the other hand.

I AM God and can do all things, but you must plant the seeds of your desires and then allow them to grow. I am the Miracle Worker but I do no tricks. I can only operate through the Universal Law of Attraction. I can grow anything for you but you must sow, desire, believe, expect and allow the law of physical evolution, which we call time, to bring forth the fruitage of your heart desire.  However, as long as you plant seeds on Sunday and remove them on Monday they will never have a chance to grow.

The only seeds you seem faithful and consistent in sowing are the seeds of fear and doubt. Those seem to be very deeply rooted within your consciousness and strongly nourished by your strong expectancy thus they grow stronger each day. I can not operate outside My Own Law, thus I can only give you what you ask for.

I have given to all my cildren dominion over the earth which I have created for them and have given them free will as my co-creators, but you do have the responsibility to choose for yourself what it is you want to create in your life. You can create love or fear, health or illness, abundance or poverty, joy and happiness or misery and loneliness. You are the creator of your own destiny.

My voice is recorded within you; feel free to listen to me anytime you need guidance. I am constantly vigilant over you, protecting you, inspiring you through our communication channel, your Higher Self. You don’t even have to turn a knob  as you do regularly on your radio and TV sets. I am here broadcasting to you all the time, but you must be willing to listen. I cannot do anything for you…..but I  can do all things “through” you.

I am the Miracle Worker but I can only manifest my miracles through your desire-belief-expectancy and by being an open channel for me.

My love for you surpasses any form of human love ever conceived. As I love you totally and unconditionally I must give you the freedom of choice for your own growth. It is only your own expectation of hardship that makes your growth so difficult, and GROW you must!

Learning and growing is not painful if you undertake it with joy, willing to listen to my voice within you where you shall always find all the help and guidance you need. I am always there, present within you, ready to answer your questions, to guide you in the evolution of your own dreams, but you must ask as I will never make choices for you. I love you unconditionally, as you are, without judgment or blame.

 Therefore you are free to choose for yourself.

You can go the illusionary-way of the ego, which seems to separate you from me, or you can choose to accept your Higher Self as your guide. You are the creator, the architect, the engineer and the contractor of your own life. In time you shall grow and understand that it is strictly up to you. I AM always there, within  you, but you must realize, accept and trust in my presence, my power and my love for you.

Remember this absolute truth:

“The Father and I are one, wherever I stand is Holy Ground, all the Father hath is mine”  ( Joel Goldsmith)

Love yourself as God  loves you and BELIEVE!
