Cross My Heart and Hope To … – Part Three

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Part Three (of 3)

These past two weeks, we have explored some dramatic ways to change the way you could complete the phrase, “Cross my heart, and hope to …” We’ve talked about Cross my heart and hope to SEE Truth; and Cross my heart and hope to SPEAK Truth.

This week is our final recommendation … and perhaps the most important of all for our spiritual growth.

Cross my heart and hope to BE Truth:

This means we become one with the Truth of who we are and let our light shine! In other words, we get out of our own way! At a recent Meditation Class we facilitated, we practiced an Art Meditation. The activity asked people to think of an issue they are dealing with in their lives that they’d like Spiritual insight on. Then we go into a meditation, and when they are ready, people get up and select paper and art supplies, then just draw, without really having a plan of what to expect or what it will look like. Following the meditation, people are invited to share their experience if they’d like, as well as describe what showed up on their paper.

What was so neat about what one person in the class shared was that she did not expect this to be a meaningful experience. She was really skeptical. However, to her credit, she decided to go ahead and do it with an open mind and see what happened. As she began, she came up with a drawing, but it didn’t feel right, so she grabbed another piece of paper and started again — and more ideas and thoughts flowed to her, and she did a third drawing which really spoke to her, and brought some amazing insights.

What a perfect example of allowing yourself to BE Truth, whether you actually think it will be helpful or not; regardless of what the world of appearance is saying; regardless of what you feel about it; in spite of what you are hearing from your internal Cynic… just BE Truth, and allow the Christ of you to speak and guide you.

As we learn to “Cross our heart and BE Truth” we cross out error and move one step closer to Enlightenment.

This week, you have incredible adventures just waiting to happen for you … opportunities to grow more into your Christhood … opportunities to move further along on that incredible journey of your own spiritual growth and development.  So we encourage you to Cross Your Heart and Hope to — no, we want you to KNOW that you will —

  • See Truth,
  • Speak Truth, and
  • Be Truth. .. and let your light shine —

So you can experience the joy of enlightenment as you walk the spiritual path on practical feet.

The Four Pillars of Prosperity, The Second Pillar, Part 2

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

We are in the process of exploring the Four Pillars that support a strong Prosperity Consciousness, grounded in Truth Principles. We’ve covered the First Pillar, Demolition, in some detail. Last week, we began taking a look at the Second Pillar of Prosperity, Definition. We’ve discussed the first question, which is: Who am I? The answer is that you are God, expressing Godness as you! And we shared ways for you to begin becoming acutely aware of how your thoughts support that reality.

That brings us to the second question: What is my purpose?

People go through tons of workshops and therapists to figure this one out – but in reality, there is only one answer, and it is the same for all of us! Take a deep breath, because this is really important!

Your purpose is to express your Christ nature to the fullest extent you are able, by using your talents and gifts for the good of the world. Remember this: There is no one in the whole world that can do what you do, the way you do it!

We invite you to go back and read that last paragraph again. Go ahead, we’ll wait for you! You might even want to read it again, out loud!

Katherine Graham, former President of Washington Post, said, “To do what you love and know that it matters – what could be more wonderful?” When you living your purpose, you know it! It doesn’t mean you won’t experience problems, challenges, frustrations. It means you know you have within you everything you need in order to move through them, growing in the process.

So, this week your adventure is to spend some time becoming aware of your gifts. What brings you joy? What do people compliment you about? What is it that you would do even if you were never paid a penny for it, just because you enjoy it so much?

Here are a few affirmations you can use to help you reinforce the incredible gifts and talents you have been given, to share with the world:

  • I am God expressing at the point of me, and I allow myself to nurture my gifts, appreciating the many talents I possess.
  • I am willing to be of service to God and others through my gifts, and know that people are abundantly blessed by what I do.
  • I deserve a rewarding, creative life, and I demonstrate my gifts to claim that life.
  • I am God expressing at the point of me, I have a constant flow of new and interesting Divine Ideas that allow me to develop and share my gifts.

Repeat these affirmations at least five times a day, and reflect on them as you go into meditation. Then journal around what comes to you following meditation. You will discover you are acutely aware of your gifts, as well as ways to use them for good. And your prosperity consciousness will be expanding every day!

Next week, we will explore that BIG question that comes with Definition: What is the essence of a prosperous and abundant life for me?

The Four Pillars of Prosperity – The First Pillar, Part 4

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

So far, we have worked on quite a Spiritual Demolition, preparing ourselves for an incredible flow of prosperity and abundance in all areas of our life. There is just one final area to institute a demolition: the Spiritual arena of our life.

This sounds a bit strange to a lot of people. Why would we need to demolish anything spiritual? Here’s the question we invite you to consider: What are you putting your faith in? Is there any embedded theology that is creating a roadblock in your spiritual growth and evolvement? Anything that even hints at a separation between us and God needs to be demolished, with great joy! And there is absolutely, positively no substitute for time spent in the Silence, going to Headquarters! Time spent in the Silence, in meditation, will reap amazing benefits in so many areas of your life.

We know – everyone is so busy already, that it becomes a real challenge to find time to create any type of regular spiritual practice of meditation. So, here’s your adventure for this week: Discover ways to creatively find time to spend in the Silence. Here are some examples:

  • Schedule it as a meeting and write it in your calendar or put it in your PDA or Blackberry. Just write: Meeting at Headquarters!
  • Transform waiting time into meditation time! Carry a meditative affirmation with you. When waiting in the doctor’s office, grocery line, lobby, meeting start, traffic light, etc., focus on your breathing and repeat the affirmation over and over. You don’t even need to close your eyes!
  • Try out new types of meditations, such as an eating meditation, walking meditation, writing meditation, art meditation. If you need resources to help you, just call us!
  • Start with a 5-minute/day commitment, and gently add time each week.

As we take a deeper look into the principles of having and maintaining a prosperity consciousness, it becomes so apparent that it is impossible to solve financial problems with money. We must go deeper, and totally demolish any and all barriers, so the problems will never arise again.

This week, create your own personal Demolition Party … and experience Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Demolition. This will pave the way for a fresh, gigantic leap in your consciousness – and begin the foundation for Jesus the Christ promised: you to have life, and have it more abundantly!
