If you are God's equal - CWG

"If you are God's equal, that means nothing is being done to you -- and all things are created by you. There can be no more victims and no more villains -- only outcomes of your thought about a thing.

I tell you this: all you see in your world is the outcome of your idea about it.

Do you want your life to truly "take off"? Then change your idea about it. About you. Think, speak, and act as the God You Are."

Conversations With God, Book 1
Neale Donald Walsch
Pages 75-76

The Secret of Health

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly."

The Buddha (563?-483? B.C.E.)
Siddhartha Gautama

What is reality?

"The human body is bombarded with over 400 billion bits of information about reality every second, do you know how much the average brain can process of that? Two thousand (2000). Thats less that 1/1000th of reality your brain can process."

"Being present is the key to awakening...The present moment reveals the eternal now. The present moment reveals Oneness. The present moment opens us up to the living presence of God, and ultimately reveals Heaven on Earth. We just have to realize that being present is not a practice or a meditation. It is our natural state."

-Leonard Jacobson

Manifestation

"Everything is in response to the way you feel -- everything is. Everything is mind over matter. Every disease is mental first. Everything is about thought. Everything is about vibration. Everything is about the way you feel [and think]."

- Abraham-Hicks

What we mean by "You are creators" - Abraham-Hicks

"When we say, "You are creators," you think we are talking about creating furniture, or creating houses, or creating empires, or creating relationships.

That isn't what we talk about when we talk about creating.

We are talking about the creating of your state of being.

And when you have understood that, and are giving that your dominant attention, then all of the physical trappings of this Universe will fall into alignment in such glorious fashion that you will amaze even yourself.

YOU CANNOT DO IT WITH ACTION. IT IS THROUGH FOCUSING UPON HOW YOU WANT TO FEEL."

A New Beginning Vol. 2
Esther Hicks

How Important Is Oneness?

"It is worth an entire book, not just half of one. Everything would change if this one idea was "gotten," if this one thought resided in your subconscious and became your natural instinct, if this one concept became your operating philosophy, and the operating philosophy of your species.

Everything would change. Everything. Politics would change, economics would change, relationships would change, your ideas about careers and parenting and sexuality and conflict resolution and the purpose of all of Life — everything — would change.

So this is not a small thing, it is not a say-it-once-and-brush-it-aside thing, it is a big thing, worth repeating over and over again, worthy of coming back to time and time again.

Teach this. Teach this. All else will fall into place.

Here are four words to memorize:

We are all One.

Model that when you make your next choices and decisions. Model that when you make your next moves and plan your next strategies. Model that when you set your earnings goals, establish your employee salary scales, make up the sticker price for the product or service you sell.

Model that when you go into the War Room or the Board Room or the Bedroom. Model that when you enter the mosque or synagogue or cathedral or temple.

Model that when you live your life, in every moment of your life, and you will teach everything there is to teach about the New Spirituality and Tomorrow's God."

Tomorrow's God
Neale Donald Walsch

On desire and happiness

"Desires and feelings are as natural as flowers and grass. They arise naturally out of the exuberant joy and fullness of our Being, and they can be a part of how Being creates. The one thing I might add is that fulfilling a desire by manifesting something, does not really make us happy. It is just that when we successfully manifest something, for a moment our desire subsides, and the inner joy behind desire itself rises to the surface. This is a subtle distinction, but it can be freeing to discover that desire and happiness both flow from the same source. Both are expressions of our essential joy. Seeing this can actually free you to desire even more, because it is equally rich to want something as to get it! And yet you can also hold all of your desires lightly, because what matters more is the source of the desire, not the object."

Rumi

“The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.”

~Rumi

You get to choose

"You see, there is not one piece of reality anywhere that is this static thing that must always be. Everybody's reality has been created by their attention to something that caused them to offer a vibration that Law of Attraction matched. In other words, when you say, “I'm facing reality,” ask yourself, “And is it a reality that I would choose?” And so, we would like to amend that statement, just for a little while, with you. Well no, we would like to amend it forever with you, but then that's none of our business. It's just a suggestion. [Laughter.] “I'm facing Virtual Reality.” When someone says to you, “You've got to face reality,” say, “I'm facing Virtual Reality. I'm going to this place and I'm teaching myself a vibration that allows the Well-Being that I deserve to flow to me.” And that's a very big point that so many still don't get.

There is only a Stream of Well-Being. That's all there is. Which you are allowing or now and, if you are allowing it, you are thriving. If you are not, then you are not thriving quite so much. But, there is only a Stream of Well-Being which you may allow or pinch off. You do not walk into a room and look for the dark switch because there isn't one. There is that switch which resists light and in the absence of light, you do achieve darkness. Just like in the absence of allowing, you do achieve cancer. In the absence of allowing, you do achieve trauma. In the absence of allowing, you do achieve bondage. In the absence of allowance, you do achieve sickness. In other words, in the absence of allowing the Well-Being that is natural, you do achieve things that you call reality. But they are not a 'reality' that exists anywhere other than in the vibrational nature and you get to choose."

-Abraham-Hicks

My favorite bible quote

And for this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life span? And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all of his glory did not clothe himself like one of these. But if God so arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith? Do not be anxious then, saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "With what shall we clothe ourselves?" For all of these things the gentile eagerly seek; for your heavenly father knows that you need of all of these things. But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness; and all of these things shall be added unto you.

Jesus of Nazareth

For one who sees with the eyes of the heart, rather than the senses, the world looks different; the blades of grass, the song of the birds, the drops of dew, all are seen to be none other than the One Life that surrounds us in every moment, proclaiming the Glory of the One.

-Bhagavad Gita 6:29

Lighten up

Your body cannot heal without play. Your mind cannot heal without laughter. Your soul cannot heal without joy.

-Catherine Rippenger Fenwick

Allowing your natural abundance

Like the air you breathe, abundance in all things is available to you.~Abraham~Hicks

You have the choice to allow the flow of abundance to you and through you. Or you can believe your negative thoughts of "i'm not worthy" "it'll never happen to be" "its impossible" (such lies!) and stop the flow by your inner resistance to it. Know that saying "I'm too blessed to be stressed?" Well its true. But you have to let go of your stressful thoughts before you can see how truly blessed you are!

- Deva

You were never meant to struggle

"Realize you were never meant to struggle. Nobody. If you wish to create struggle, create struggle for the purpose of finding out that you do not need to struggle. Once you have done it, it is enough. You may learn to experience joy, creative joy, in every other endeavor you undertake from that point forward."

Bashar

Children are the present

"Esctatic beings choose to act out of love. And they treat their children as the real people that they are. We don't own our children. Having a child is the greatest lesson in non attachment ever.This applies to the ornaments they break when they fall over as much as the hearts they break when they leave home...Imagine raising a child that never has to try to fit in to an outdated and irrelevant system. Clocking in has been eternally guzzumpt by clocking off."

You are powerful Leading-Edge creators

"You are not inferior Beings in need of enlightenment. You are not insignificant particles in a vast, unending Universe. You are not misguided or forgotten children trying to find your way home...You are powerful Leading-Edge creators riding the most significant wave of expansion that has ever occurred."

~Abraham-Hicks
