Tell It Like It Isn’t!

This quote makes me chuckle because it took me a long time to make sense of it. How about you?

“We practice the Art of Allowing. Which means reaching for the thought that feels best, not the thought that is the real thought, not the thought that is telling it like it is. Telling it like it is only holds you where it is: “Damn it, I’m going to tell it like it is. I’m going to tell it like it is, because everybody wants me to tell it like it is.” Tell it like it is if you like it like it is. But if you don’t like it like it is, then don’t tell it like it is–tell it like you want it to be. If you tell it like you want it to be, long enough, you will begin to feel it like you want it to be, and when you feel it like you want it to be, it be’s like you want it to be.” – Abraham

How to Change Your Beliefs

“The thought that you think, you think, which attracts to it; so you think it some more, which attracts to it; so you think it some more. In other words, when you have an expectation, you’ve got a dominant thought going on, and Law of Attraction is going to deliver that to you again, and again and again. And you say “The reason that I believe this, is because it is true.” And we say, the reason that you believe it, is because you’ve practiced the thought. All that a belief is, is a thought that you keep practicing.” -Abraham

Meditation Class: Week 2

Brenda — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:30:29 +0000

By the end of last Monday night’s class I was in full appreciation of my teacher’s ability to express himself about awareness. I was impressed enough to compliment him when we were through. He suggested we read Experience of Insight to assist us. Of course I bought the book, even though it must be the million^th one I’ve purchased on the subject of meditation. I just got it the other day, and haven’t really spent much time with it yet.

We were told that meditation involves three things: relax, observe, allow. Nice! In my personal life it is rare that I experience these three states of being all at one time. I set that intention each time I begin to practice (well almost each time ).

I had two homework assignments: 1) add another activity to be mindful about (now I’m focusing on every detail of brushing my teeth and using the water pick; and 2) spend the week emphasizing a relaxed body and mind.

Practice was challenging for me this week; maybe more so than last. At this point I notice how far away from mindful I am because of my very full mind. I’m still determined to practice each day though, and do keep in mind that even those who are regulars at this still call it ‘practice’.
