As for me(Lone), i am opposed to the idea written below in bold that “This consciousness takes a look at who is allowing resources to flow through them, distributing them and putting them to good use. It then rewards or replenishes that person with more resources, usually much more than what they allow to flow through them.” 

I believe that the universe is non-judging and doesnt discriminate just as any other natural laws which is literally “blind”. Anyone who apply and understand its law can take advantage of it, regardless it going to be used for good/bad purpose (In ultimate reality good and bad doesnt even exist!)

How to Create a River of Abundance in Your Life Right Now

Wednesday, January 03, 2007

People always ask me about the secret to abundance. They say, “How can you give away so much, Mike, and still attract so much abundance at the same time?” Actually, that’s the whole secret right there. Be a river, not a dam, and abundance of all kinds (financial and otherwise) will flow through you.

This article is a discussion about what I call “money harmony” or “energy harmony”. Being a river means being the kind of person who is a conduit, who allows resources, including money, to flow through you rather than being the kind of person who tries to dam up the flow of energy and selfishly keep it all for yourself. This whole discussion gets rather philosophical, but it’s also quite practical as you’ll soon see.

There is a system at work in the universe that distributes resources to those who are the most responsible in putting them to good use. Of course, there’s a competing system at work, too. That is a system that results in resources being collected in the hands of people who are deceitful, who cheat others, who are dishonest, unethical and so on. That system definitely works for some corporations and some individuals, but the price they pay for that is much too high.

I advocate a system that allows you to be rewarded for being a conduit of responsible use of money and resources. In this system, the universe acts almost as if it were a conscious dispatcher of resources. This consciousness takes a look at who is allowing resources to flow through them, distributing them and putting them to good use. It then rewards or replenishes that person with more resources, usually much more than what they allow to flow through them. So if you’re the kind of person that donates money or time to a constructive purpose, and you approach it with the attitude of being a river and not a dam, you will be blessed with far more wealth than you give to others.

Health flows
Let’s return to the metaphor of being a river and not a dam. Healthy rivers flow; water continues to move downstream and it gets replenished from an upstream source. In that river you’ll find all kinds of life: fish, micro-algae and plants. But if you dam up that river, you cause stagnation. You stop the flow.

This is what happens when people try to covet money. They try to collect money and put it all in their pockets without sharing with anyone. They become a collector or a dam rather than a conduit. What happens when water starts collecting and it’s not moving? It begins to stagnate; it becomes brackish and the life in it dies. The energy becomes a negative energy and it’s not the kind of place that people want to be around.

This is also true with people. People who operate on greed and whose main purpose is to try to collect and control resources, rather than share them, are not well-liked by other people. They won’t be successful in any business endeavor, other than by using methods of deceit and dishonesty. The dam model is the model of stagnation.

If you function as a dam in life you’re typically espousing a philosophy of scarcity. This is how a lot of people accidentally end up functioning as dams. They approach life with a fear… a fear of not having enough. They’re afraid they won’t have enough food or money. They contract and stop the outflow of resources, thinking if they conserve more money, if they try to keep everything for themselves, they will be better protected. And in fact, that only creates a situation of stagnation.

On the other hand, a person who approaches life from a point of view of abundance believes there is more than enough financial wealth for the world and more than enough food. They say, “In my life, I am an abundant person in everything I deal with,” and they attract abundance and wealth. That person is going to flow like a river and notice that, even as they allow all of that water to flow downstream to other recipients and provide life further down the line, they are always replenished with new water coming from upstream. It is in fact the flow of that water that keeps it healthy and full of life.

So remember, fear creates constriction or contraction, which leads to stagnation, loss of life and negative energy. On the other hand, sharing or opening up to others through generosity creates abundance; it brings life and broadcasts a higher vibration that attracts people. People want to be around you.

I’m suggesting that you adopt the vibration of abundance, and you can start by giving. It may sound counterintuitive if you’re new to any of this, but the best way to become wealthy, in terms of money, friendships, wisdom and everything else that matters in life, is to actually start giving away all of those things. By that I mean, start giving away some of your money. Find a good cause that you can donate to. Start giving information to the people around you. Give the gift of knowledge. Give the gift of time and effort or volunteer somewhere. Make the effort to be part of something constructive.

As you start doing this, you may say, “Well, I was broke before I started this. Now I’m giving away my money and my time, and I’m even more broke.” To that I would advise to look where you’re coming from. Once again, it’s from a perspective of scarcity and fear of not having enough. What if, instead, you started giving away time, financial resources and gifts of knowledge and information, and told yourself that this is an investment? Tell yourself, “I’m investing in others and in the flow of the river, and I know that this investment will come back to me. By taking these actions, I am in fact enhancing my wealth.” What if you said that? What would happen?

Be an attractor of abundance
You’ll notice that I give away far more information than I charge for. I give away 90 percent of what I write. That is intentional; that’s my way of sharing information and allowing the river to flow. A shrewd businessperson who didn’t understand this concept might say, “Mike, you could make a lot more money if you stopped giving away all this stuff and started charging people for it.” I’ve heard that before, too. When someone tells me that, however, it indicates they don’t understand how to be a river and not a dam.

They don’t understand the power of being a river, because once you start to flow, to allow resources to flow through you by helping others, the universe will reward you. It’s as if someone made a decision and noticed that you are responsible and you are a good steward of financial resources. You therefore are being granted a much larger collection of those resources.

You must unlearn false beliefs about money
Most of us have been trained that we have to hold on to every single dime and the only way to achieve long-term financial success is to cut our costs and not give away anything that we don’t have to give away. Basically, we’re taught to pinch pennies.

But I’m coming from a very different point of view, which holds that pinching pennies is exactly the wrong attitude. You should not go around wasting money on silly products you don’t need; rather, put your money to a good use. For example, I buy no jewelry. Buying jewelry does nothing for me personally. I don’t typically spend a lot of money on clothing, either. I buy only enough clothing to look presentable at board meetings. I dislike fancy cars, and I have no interest in a lot of material stuff. I prefer comfortable clothes, such as hemp pants, silk shirts and materials that feel good and are made from natural fibers. I don’t spend a lot of money on frivolous things.

However, I do spend money on good causes. I will send a few thousand dollars worth of food supplies to a needy community, or I’ll send emergency preparedness supplies to the American Red Cross. I’ll donate money to earthquake victims, tsunami victims or people who are caught in some kind of a natural disaster. I’ll donate software to groups that are doing good work and need some technology for their automation. Such acts are more important to me than collecting a lot of consumer products or things I don’t really need.

Heal yourself with flow
In a nutshell, that is my own personal secret to abundance. From my experience, this is what really works. You’ve got to give, have an open heart and be willing to invest in others around you in order to attract more abundance to yourself. Whether your goal is to have financial success, meet new people or heal yourself, you’ll find all of those things happening when you’re willing to give to others.

In fact, this is a very healing exercise to engage in. If you are knowledgeable about chakras and the energy centers in the body, you are most likely aware that simply giving actually opens up the flow of energy through those chakras. Once again, that returns us to the metaphor of the river: When you give, you flow. At an energetic level, that is exactly what’s happening. When you flow, you actually prevent disease and you can start to reverse diseases.

Many diseases are energetically related to stagnation and lack of flow. Heart disease is definitely one of them. It’s no coincidence that individuals who aren’t willing to give to anyone are said to “have no heart.” That’s technically quite true. They have no heart health, and they tend to be struck down by heart attacks, strokes or other forms of cardiovascular disease. That saying is part of our reality because it’s been based on observation over the years. People who don’t give don’t flow, and people who don’t flow tend to have heart attacks. So by allowing yourself to flow by giving to others and being generous, you will simultaneously attract health and heal yourself.

You will also attract financial abundance, and will meet new people who can help you succeed in practically any endeavor. You will be able to create every bit of the success you imagine (and most likely achieve something far beyond that as well).

With financial wealth comes responsibility
Do you now have a sense for how incredibly powerful this can be in your life? How healing is part of every step here? How healing others is also healing you? All of this is absolutely true. When you heal others, you become healed in the process. When you allow resources and money to flow through you, you will be recognized and rewarded with more resources and more abundance. You’ll have so much financial abundance that you won’t know what to do with it.

At some point – and it doesn’t take very long to get there – you’ll have more than you need to feed and clothe yourself and live comfortably. Everything else, then, is excess money. Here’s perhaps the most important point of all: when you reach the point where you have more money than you know what to do with, be a responsible host of that money.

Let’s say that you receive a nice fat raise to $250,000 / year in salary. “Gee, I’ve made it. I’m going to have a quarter of a million dollars a year. I’ve got a lot of money coming in. I’m going to blow it on a world cruise, a brand new Jaguar and this $10,000 necklace I’ve been wanting.” You start loading up on all these luxury items that serve no one but you.

I guarantee the first thing that will happen is that the universe will say, “This person doesn’t need any more money, because they sure don’t know how to use it.” You’ll then find that that flow is going to stop. That is the natural order of the universe; it’s the way things work.

On the other hand, if you say, “I’ve got a couple hundred thousand dollars here. I’m going to take 10 percent and donate that to some important causes. I’m going to take another 10 percent and buy some health products for people who need them. I will also go to the nursing home here and work with some patients as a volunteer.”

When the universe sees that happening with you, it says, “This person is a wonderful steward of financial abundance. This person knows how to take care of money and put it to a good use. We’re going to reward this person with some more money.” You’ll then find even more abundance headed your way. That’s the magic of abundance.

Remember to reward yourself, too
One final thought on this. While this is going on, recognize that as you’re receiving financial abundance, you do have the right to spend some of that money on yourself. As long as you are simultaneously sharing and rewarding others around you, you deserve to reward yourself as well.

I find too often that in the natural health industry, people feel guilty spending even one dollar on themselves. That is ridiculous. There is a time and a place to say, “I deserve to have some nice natural-fiber clothes, or to upgrade my automobile to something that’s more comfortable and safer. We deserve a nice meal at a fine restaurant, or we deserve to buy organic foods, and move to a better part of town, or to a better part of the country.” You deserve to be abundant. But it’s important to do these other things at the same time that you’re rewarding yourself. Don’t feel guilty about spending money on yourself. Just make sure that you are allowing the flow to others at the same time that you are rewarding yourself.

Now, of course, the purists out there would say we don’t need anything material at all. The fewer attachments we have to material wealth, the freer we are. I agree with that completely, but I also recognize that for the vast majority of people in the western world, there’s a certain level of “stuff” that’s necessary simply to operate in this society.

That’s true for myself as well. I couldn’t do this work without having lots of computer equipment and a comfortable place to write. I couldn’t talk about nutrition and physical exercise if I didn’t invest in nutritional supplements and exercise equipment. So there’s a certain level of physical infrastructure that’s necessary to even have a conversation with those in the western world. But the key is to gather what you need to do your job (and pursue your mission) without going crazy on the accumulation of stuff.

There’s a saying in the west: “He who dies with the most toys wins.” And actually, it’s completely backwards. In reality, he who accumulates the most toys dies while still alive, because he turns into a dam and stagnates. The measure of a person is not how much she accumulates in life, but how much she helps others.

Understanding this flow of energy is truly one of the secrets to abundance. You can call it energetic, you can call it karma or you can call it a spiritual approach. It doesn’t matter what you call it; it’s the way the universe works. If you flow, you will be blessed with more resources than you know what to do with.

It may be time to look at your life and be honest with yourself about what you do with your money. Be honest about what you do with your time, and what your reasons are for getting involved with any endeavor. If you don’t have the most altruistic reasons yet, or perhaps you don’t have any altruism at all, it may be time to redefine yourself.

You can alter your flow in an instant
We can choose to change at any time we want. Even if we’ve never given a penny to anyone in our entire lives, we can make a change right now, and make a donation today. We can restructure the river inside of us right now. It only takes one decision and one action. You can restructure your life from this moment forward; you can create the flow even if you’ve never had it.

If you have a river that’s dammed up and the water is stagnant, brackish and lifeless, you can tear down that dam. The water will break through and begin to flow downstream, and all that brackish water will empty out and be replenished by new, fresh water. With that new, fresh water will come new life, oxygen, plants, fish, living creatures and energies of incredible joy and health. You can do that right now by making the decision and breaking down any dams inside your own belief systems that may have been stopping the flow of resources. You can create a river of abundance in your own life right now.

*Tips 161: Keputusan Intuitif Penuh Percaya Diri*

Inspirasi dari materi oleh Brian Tracy.

Bayangkanlah seseorang menghadiahi Anda, sebuah komputer yang sederhana tapi amat powerful. Super komputer itu punya kemampuan untuk menjawab setiap pertanyaan yang Anda ajukan, dan sekaligus mampu memberi solusi untuk setiap permasalahan yang Anda hadapi.

Apa yang perlu Anda lakukan, hanyalah memprogram dengan benar setiap pertanyaan dan masalah Anda ke komputer itu. Kemudian, di saat yang tepat, komputer itu akan memberikan jawaban dan solusi yang akurat buat Anda. Enak ya?

Wow…woww… stop! Berhentilah membayangkan. Karena faktanya, Anda sudah punya komputer semacam itu. Di-install tepat di antara kedua telinga Anda.
Ya, komputer Anda lebih canggih dari komputer manapun buatan manusia.

Apa yang membedakan antara orang yang berbahagia dan tidak berbahagia dengan segala hasil yang diperolehnya, adalah tingkat utilisasi alias pemanfaatan dari komputer yang ada di kepalanya. Seberapa jauhkah komputernya digunakan?
Seberapa akurat, efektif, dan efisienkah mereka menggunakan komputernya?

Kemampuan menggunakan komputer yang di-install Tuhanlah, yang bisa membuat kita lebih maju, lebih baik, dan lebih berhasil. Berita bagusnya, ternyata tidak terlalu sulit untuk menerapkan user manual dari komputer super canggih kita, seperti yang berikut ini. Jika kita berhasil, maka segala hasil akan menjadi lebih berhasil.

*INSINYUR GENIUS DAN SENIMAN NYENTRIK*

Untuk memulai re-programming komputer Anda, pahamilah terlebih dahulu bahwa komputer alias otak Anda memiliki dua wilayah. Biasanya, wilayah ini dikenal dengan bagian kiri dan bagian kanan otak.

Pada intinya, diri Anda akan merasakan hal-hal yang baik dan positif, jika kedua wilayah ini mau bekerja sama dan saling mengimbangi. Menurut penelitian, kedua wilayah ini punya fungsi yang spesifik.

Otak bagian kiri Anda, cenderung bertanggung jawab untuk berbagai fungsi yang sifatnya linear, berurutan, teratur, dan terorganisir. Hobinya mengurutkan, menghitung, menganalisis, mengelompokkan, dan sebagainya. Ia berurusan dengan segala sesuatu yang verbal, matematis, dan ilmiah.

Itulah insinyur dari diri Anda. Titelnya, dijamin PhD pada setiap Anda. Perilakunya sangat berhati-hati. Penampilannya chic dan elegan. Cara kerjanya, adalah memproses berbagai fakta selangkah demi selangkah.

Di sisi kanan otak Anda, ada seorang seniman. Kelakuannya berbeda banget dari insinyur Anda yang nge-kost di sebelah kiri. Ia punya karakter yang lebih holistik, dan tindak-tanduknya cenderung spontan. Namanya juga seniman.

Caranya memandang segala sesuatu, adalah dengan melihat gambaran besarnya.
Bukan detil seperti si insinyur. Apa yang dilihatnya, adalah segala sesuatu yang ada di belakang layar fakta, yaitu ide dan situasi.

Sebagai seniman, ia sangat kreatif, suka musik, dan punya kemampuan artistik. Dialah yang sering mengajak Anda untuk menari, bernyanyi, atau tertawa. Dia juga, yang punya cara intuitif dalam berpikir, merasakan, menyelesaikan masalah, dan mengambil keputusan.

Mari kita buktikan sesuatu. Lakukanlah ini sebelum Anda meneruskan membaca.
Mari kita buktikan betapa powerfulnya pemahaman yang amat sederhana tentang kiri-kanan ini.

Pikirkanlah sebuah subyek, yang bisa membuat Anda stress saat ini.
Soal keuangan, soal situasi kerja, soal target, soal sekolah anak Anda, soal kebiasaan buruk, soal jodoh mungkin. Apa saja yang bisa membuat Anda stress sekarang juga.

Sudah? Sekarang rasakan stressnya. Dan ketahuilah, bahwa yang stress adalah otak kiri Anda. Kini sedang terjadi ketidakseimbangan di otak Anda.
Dan itu, bisa membuat komputer Anda hang.

Mari kita lakukan balancing. Sekarang Anda aktifkan otak kanan Anda, dengan mencari apapun yang menyenangkan, meringankan, atau bisa menunjukkan betapa di sela segala persoalan Anda, masih ada cukup banyak hal-hal positif dan baik yang bisa Anda rasakan. Lihatlah betapa beruntungnya Anda.
Lihatlah orang lain yang kurang beruntung. See the good things! Yang dulu, yang sekarang, dan yang mungkin akan datang. Temukanlah berbagai hikmah.
Tidak ada? Masya Allah, pasti ada!

Sudah? Bagus. Apa yang Anda rasakan detik ini adalah kondisi otak Anda yang sudah kembali balanced. Kemungkinan hang sudah mengecil. Bahkan, Anda mungkin sedang tersenyum sekarang.

Sangat powerful bukan?

Mulai sekarang, biasakanlah ini. Saat Anda stress atau manyun, katakanlah pada diri Anda:

*”Ola…la…. otak kiri Saya sedang ngadat. Sisi kiri otak Saya sedang pusing tujuh keliling.” *

Lalu, lakukanlah balancing dengan mengaktifkan sisi kanan otak Anda.

*”Tapi… otak kanan saya melihat, merasakan, mendengarkan banyak hal yang positif dan menyenangkan, misalnya…”*

Selamat, Anda telah berhasil menguasai Bab I user manual otak Anda.
Sekarang kita lanjutkan.

*KEPUTUSAN INTUITIF*

Jika Anda sudah menghitung secara matematis, melakukan analisis, menerapkan berbagai teknik yang ilmiah, apakah itu sudah menjadi jaminan dari kesuksesan Anda?

Berapa banyak yang meleset? Berapa banyak yang buyar dan tak sesuai rencana?
Berapa banyak yang malah ngalor ngidul nggak karuan?

Apa yang bisa Anda lakukan untuk memperbaikinya? Bagaimana mengembalikannya
ke jalur? Bagaimana supaya tetap di rel?

Itu, bisa dilakukan dengan fleksibilitas, keluwesan, manuver, kreatifitas, modifikasi, adaptasi, dan turn around. Ketahuilah, yang ahli tentang hal itu adalah otak kanan Anda. Sang seniman. Ketahuilah, itu adalah intuisi.

Jadi, apa yang juga super penting bagi Anda, adalah kemampuan untuk mengambil keputusan yang intuitif. Keputusan yang bisa melihat segalanya dalam bentuk big picture. Generalis. Itulah sebabnya, ada pangkat tertinggi yang dinamai dengan “jenderal”(general).

Keputusan intuitif, adalah keputusan yang lebih dari sekedar reportase detil dan fakta. Ia mengintegrasikan seluruh kemampuan, skill, dan knowledge Anda.
Keputusan intuitif, selalu lebih superior seperti kewibawaan seorang jenderal perang. Apapun yang Anda punya, di tangannya akan diramu secara simultan menjadi sebuah menu yang bisa diandalkan.

Bagaimana melatih keputusan Anda agar intuitif? Kita masuk ke Bab II.

Ada empat kualitas mental yang perlu Anda latih, agar Anda bisa meningkatkan kemampuan intuitive decision making Anda.

*Pertama *, percayalah penuh dan yakinlah pada intuisi Anda. Percayalah
seperti anak-anak mempercayai sesuatu. Poloslah, kekanak-kanakanlah. Go with
the flow. Istirahatkan sebentar otak kanan Anda. Sang insinyur itulah yang paling sering berkata pada diri Anda:
*”Ah, masak sih?”
“Apa iya?”
“Kayaknya nggak gitu deh.”
“Idihh, nggak ilmiah tuh.”*

*Kedua*, berpikirlah positif. Caranya, bersikaplah kalem, rileks, dan senang hati dengan apapun hasil yang telah dicapai saat ini. Bersikaplah easygoing.
Supaya apa? Supaya sang seniman di kepala Anda nggak stres. Anda bayangkan
saja, jika seorang seniman dipaksa-paksa, diatur begini-begitu. Seniman
gondrong disuruh potong rambut misalnya. Seniman mana sih yang mau? Kecuali
ia sendiri yang memutuskan.

*Ketiga*, PD-lah dalam berharap. Makin positif Anda, makin PD Anda, akan
makin tajam dan cepatlah intuisi dan solusi Anda meluap keluar. PD-lah bahwa segala sesuatu akan berjalan dengan baik. Gabunglah ini dengan mempekerjakan sang insinyur. Kombinasikan dengan riset, analisis, dan fakta.

Di satu sisi, Anda mengumpulkan, mengoleksi, dan mengorganisir berbagai data atau fakta yang positif dan baik dalam segala sesuatu, dan di sisi lain, Anda membangun sikap optimis dan positif. Maka, keseluruhan otak Anda akan bekerja dengan jenius.

*Keempat*, dengarlah. Dengarlah intuisi Anda. Kesalahan terbesar yang membatalkan kesuksesan, adalah seringnya Anda mengabaikan intuisi yang sudah serak berteriak. Ujung-ujungnya:

*”Duh… coba kemarin aku ambil kesempatan itu ya?”
“Sayang banget waktu itu aku nggak langsung sikat.”
“Padahal, itu udah lewat di kepala gua…”*

*MEMANFAATKAN KEPUTUSAN INTUITIF*

Di mana model keputusan ini bisa digunakan?

*Pertama*, di area hubungan pribadi Anda dengan seseorang. Suami Anda, istri Anda, anak Anda, ayah dan ibu Anda, dan sebagainya. Intuisi Anda hampir selalu akurat tentang apa yang perlu Anda katakan atau lakukan kepada mereka. Anda pasti akan membuktikannya.

*Kedua*, di dalam bisnis dan profesi Anda. Buktikanlah ini dalam memimpin, menjual, atau berpresentasi.

*Ketiga*, di area pilihan. Saat Anda harus memilih, gunakan intuisi Anda.
Gunakanlah intuisi Anda saat menjual, interview, bertahan atau meninggalkan pekerjaan, membuka bisnis baru, dan sebagainya.

*Keempat*, di area masalah apapun yang kini sedang Anda hadapi. Beginilah cara mengimplementasikannya.

Anda definisikan dengan jelas masalah Anda. Sebisa mungkin tertulis.

1. Apa sih yang ingin Anda capai, apa yang ingin Anda hindari, apa yang
ingin Anda pertahankan?

2. Apakah itu hanya satu masalah saja, atau kumpulan dari masalah- masalah?
Apa lagi masalah lainnya? Apa masalah itu real, atau hanya gejala dari masalah lain yang tersembunyi?

3. Risetlah, eksplorasilah. Adakah orang lain yang pernah punya masalah yang sama? Apa yang dilakukan orang itu? Bagaimana ia berhasil menyelesaikannya?
Anda, tidak perlu re-invent the wheel. Bukan zamannya lagi, sebab sekarang semua sudah ada. Terapkanlah ATM, amati, tiru, modifikasi.
Sesuaikanlah, adaptasilah. Bertanyalah, berdiskusilah. Dan jangan lupa, tulislah.
Menulis adalah bagian penting dari proses intuitif.

Ulangi beberapa kali langkah nomor tiga di atas. Lakukan pengulangan ini dengan berbagai cara. Intuisi Anda akan mulai terbangun. Jika Anda merasa mentok, ulangi saja langkah satu sampai tiga sekalian. Intuisi Anda akan mulai terbangun.

Masih mentok juga? Beristirahatlah, dan lakukan satu kali lagi menjelang tidur. Setelah itu, katakan begini kepada alam bawah sadar Anda:

*”Sekarang, giliran kamu yang kerja!”*

Tidurlah dan temukanlah sesuatu besok pagi.

Belum juga? Ya sudah, lakukan saja sampai berhari-hari.

*INTUITIVE DECISION YANG TEPAT*

Ada cirinya.

1. Datangnya secepat kilat, detil, dan lengkap. Anda pasti tahu ini:
A-ha!
Wow! Yes! Cling! (ada lampunya di atas kepala…)

2. Sederhana. Anda bahkan tidak pernah membayangkan sebelumnya. Nggak pernah
kepikiran. Anda terkaget-kaget, karena selama ini ia justru bersembunyi di
bawah hidung Anda sendiri. Jadi…. itu toh?!

3. Semua yang dipersyaratkan, ada dalam kapabilitas dan sumber daya Anda.
Anda bisa melakukannya sekarang, dengan apa yang Anda punya, dari tempat
Anda duduk saat ini.

4. Penuh joy dan energi. Membuat Anda tak sabar ingin meng- implementasi.
Anda, bisa kagum pada diri Anda sendiri. Gilee cing…!

*KESIMPULAN*

Keputusan intuitiflah yang akan membuat Anda berhasil. Btw, dua bab sudah
terlalu panjang, dan sudah lebih dari cukup untuk Anda. Sekarang, Anda
langsung jawab saja pertanyaan berikut.

Keputusan apa yang mau Anda buat hari ini?

Saya Ingin Anda Sukses,
Saya Harus Membuat Anda Sukses.

PART ONE: Redesigning God

Goodbye to Yesterday’s God

The gift that you give is the gift that you experience.Giving transform Having into Being.I can imagine myself as “having” abundance, but only through the giving of my abundance to others that can I experience being abundant.

The miracle of giving is that we are giving only to ourselves.

Introducing Tommorrow’s God

Education is the key. It is the most powerful tool you have. Educate everyone. Tell everyone about God and about Life. Eliminate illiteracy, then eliminate functional illiteracy, then eliminate spiritual illiteracy.

The Creator and the Created are the same.

Nothing is observed is unaffected by the observer. In other words, the Creator and the Created are One, each creating the other.

Your message is your life, lived.

Others see their possibility in the reality of you. Be, therefore, a model to all the world.

It is important to be responsible only for the Self. You do your part, and do not worry about the person next to you. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be waiting for the person next to you. And they will be waiting for the person next to them. And so on. And nothing ever happens, nothing ever gets started.

Saving the World

The most immediate way for most human beings to expand their consciousness is to become conscious of the fact that they have a “consciousness.”
Having a consciousness is something of which you must become consciously aware. This is called self-awareness, and developing this can be a fairly easy thing.
The next 100 times you look at yourself in a mirror or reflection, do the Who Meditation.
Say the word “Who?” to yourself three times, for ten seconds each time, stretching the oo sound of “who”. You may do this aloud, or silently. Either way, stare directly at your own eyes in the reflection, take a deep breath, and ask, on a single breath, three times….
Whooooooooooo?
The question you are posing to yourself is, “Who is this? Who is this standing before me? Who is this being that I think I am? Who? Who?”
If you do this 100 times in the next 30 days, you will become aware of your Self. You may not have come to a full understanding of Who You Are, but you will come to an awareness that you ARE. That is, you will become Self-Conscious.
Once you know you have a Consciousness - that is, part of you that is larger than you, that can separate itself from the Little You and talk back to you – you are well on your way to discovering the truth of your being and stepping into enlightenment.
You will soon understand that enlightenment is experienced by not seeking to experience it. One does not become enlightened because one wishes to. One becomes enlightened because one is. That is, you are already enlightened, and simply now become aware of it.
It is awareness that we are talking about here. And now I will tell you a great secret. You cannot become aware of anything within yourself without seeing it outside yourself, and you cannot become aware of anything outside of yourself without seeing it inside of yourself.

When you are open to the Outside world, when you are moving in it and through it, keep keen your awareness of everything around you. Look at things as you have never looked at them before. Make every moment a meditation. See the cracks in the sidewalk the leaves on the tree, the petals on the flowers, the faces in the crowd. Practice seeing them all as You.
Just see yourself there. Don’t ask yourself what you are doing there or how you got there or how it is possible for you to be there, just see your Self there. Call yourself that. Do not say, “There, but for the grace of God, go I.” Rather say, “There, because of the grace of God, I go.”
“There I go again, being a street person without money. There I go again, being a flower in that field. There I go again, being a domineering spouse. There I go again, being a dictator in a foreign land oppressing my people. There I go again, being that blade of grass.”
Just see yourself everywhere. And smile when you see yourself there, knowing that you are there, and that what is there is in you.
Now then, set aside time each day to go to the world within. As you move through this inside world, lose all thoughts and images of the Outside World. Allow your mind to go blank. Breathe deeply and simply concentrate on the sound of your breath. Make your breath your mantra – the sound that takes you inside.
Now focus your awareness on a spot in the corner of your forehead, just above your eyes. Keep “looking” there with your inner eyes. Stare into the dark space of that nothingness until you “see” something. Keep focusing on your breath and look at what you see. Look deeply. Do not “put” something there, but wait until what is already there is opened to your consciousness.
Something will suddenly appear to you. To many, it will look like a dancing blue flame. You will not only see this flame, you will feel it. The feeling of it will wash over you. You will call this feeling Love. It may bring you to soft and gentle tears. Let that happen. And…
….say hello to your Soul.

Now, take this vision and this feeling of the Self that you have experienced in your inside World and place it in your Outside world, overlaying it on everyone and everything. You will soon fall in love with everyone and everything. You will have literally turned your world Inside Out.

This revolving, this revolution, will come to pass with humanity’s physical participation or without it. It does not need humanity for it to occur, and yet its occurrence will mean nothing without humanity.

Your brain is a part of your body. Your mind is not your brain, but you can open your mind using your brain.
Simply breathe in the Life that is all around you. Breathe deeply, with the natural rhythm of Life, for an extended period. Sit or lie quietly while you do this.
Yes, Now, as you inhale, feel yourself taking in the energy of Life. After breathing deeply for a while, imagine this energy of Life entering through a portal at the top of your head. Watch with you internal eye as it courses through your body. As you exhale, let it exit through your feet. Do this a number of times. Scan your body with your mind.
Now imagine filling your brain with this energy. Feel the oxygen fill your brain, feeding and nourishing the cells there. Feel the cells of your brain expand. Do this intentionally for seven minutes.
You may feel a little light-headed after this. Do not worry about that. You may feel light-headed because you will be light-headed. You have seen the golden-white light of the energy of life to your brain. You have directed it there, intentionally. This lightens your brain cells. You may feel a sense of enlightenment. With that physical feeling may come an increased awareness of Life, of everything around you. Do not be surprised if this occurs. You have opened your mind, exposing it to the gentle breeze of expanded consciousness.

Changing God’s Name

On humanity’s yesterdays most people who believed in God thought of God as Super Being, which allowed them to create a God in their mind who is like a person. In other words, a Bigger Version of themselves.
In thinking this way and constructing God in this way, they created God in the image and likeness of humans - which is exactly the opposite of what they said that God did.

But if I tell you that God is not a Super Being at all, but the process called Life, your theological apple cart is turned upside down. Suddenly, not only is humanity the image and likeness of God, everything else is as well. This changes your relationship with all things. Now, everything is one thing, and that One Thing is called God.

Human beings would never do the things they are now doing to the earth, much less the things they are doing to each other, if they thought they were doing all these things to themselves.

Now I said earlier that God is that which is Constantly present and Constantly Changing, suiting Itself to each moment, so that God may be understood in that moment, embraced in that moment, experienced in that moment, and expressed in that moment.
I also said that the words “God” and “Life” were interchangeable. And now what I want to tell you is that Life is a process of Change. This is why the words “God” and “Change” are synonymous.

In a sense, your old idea of God as that which never changes was correct. It was simply incomplete. It did not contemplate or consider that the one thing which never changed about God could be that God is always changing; that this could be the Constant.

All of life is energy in motion. Nothing stands still. Nothing. Not a single thing in the Universe is static. All is moving. And movement is change.

Everything is self-aware, but levels of self-awareness differ. Highly self-aware energy always seek to become more self-aware. Once an energy system becomes increasingly aware of itself, it seeks to become more self-aware.
The more you know, the more you want to know. The more you experience, the more you want to experience. This is the nature of Life.
Life seeks more Life through the Process of Life Itself.

The faster an energy vibrates, the faster it is going to vibrate.
An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and all objects are in motion.

All of Life, down to the tiniest cell, molecule, or sub-molecular particle, contains intelligence. This basic intelligence is built in. It is a cellular encoding. Because that is true, these tiny particles move in ways that make sense. Their movement produces a specific and predictable outcome.
This outcome is called Life.
At the macro level, it is called the cosmology of the universe. At the micro level it is called particle physics, superstring theory, and so forth.
Some of you call this built-in intelligence the “survival instinct.” All of your laws of physics and its predictability have been based on the understanding at which you have just arrived.
Now comes an interesting twist: At certain point in the Process of Evolution, Life Energy becomes aware that it is aware of itself.
It is Life becoming aware of what Life IS in its present form. It is supremely impacting, because it produces what I call the Separation Phenomenon. This is when an element of Life first has the “ideas” that it is separate from God. It is the First Pivotal Moment.
Prior to this moment, energy particles expressed themselves as part of an overall System. Their intelligence was experienced as the intelligence of the System.
In the First Pivotal Moment of self-discovery, an energy unit becomes conscious of Itself as part of the System, rather than as the System Itself. Its identity as part of the System soon expands into a thought that it is separate from the system.
This is the Great Oh-Oh of the Universe. It is the Mother of all Oh-Oh’s. Actually, that is true literally, because it gives birth to the next emerging process of Life: chaos.
Chaos? As in “chaos theory”?
Exactly. The thought of being something “other” than the System is what brings chaos to life.
While a unit of energy becomes self-aware, it is losing its awareness of the larger System of which it is a part, Its intelligence – which is really the intelligence of the System – is now experienced as its own intelligence.
An example of this is what is occurring right now.
In what way?
You(the author) think that this is YOU talking, and really, this is ME. Part of you thinks that this explanation right now is something that is coming from your intelligence, and it is not, and could not be, because you don’t know any of this. Yet, because it came through you, you think it belongs to you. You think it is yours, and really it is ours.
(The intelligence, I am talking about, I am talking about the intelligence that is now bringing these words forth)
Yeah right. Sometimes I do think that this is all coming from me. Even when I know better, I sometimes think that.
The intelligence IS coming from you. It is coming from the part of you that is me. That is, it is coming from the System, of which you are an intrinsic part.

Now the energy unit, or Life Form, experiences itself as part of a System again. It becomes aware that the more rapid is the vibration of its energy, the higher is its frequency, and the more impact it has on the energy around it.

Second Pivotal Movement: a disappearing of individual consciousness, a melting of it into the All in an experience that some Eastern mystics have called bliss or Nirvana.

Life is ruled by three basic principles: functionality, adaptability, and sustainability. It functions, or, having atrophied to the point of near dysfunctionality, it adapts, and having adapted, it sustains itself.

Bringing the Universe to Life

The Old Spirituality insists that Yesterday’s God created the heavens and the earth, while the New Spirituality says that Tommorrow’s God IS the heavens and the earth.

God is unified and one with everything, and breathes Life not into humans, but AS humans, and that humans may express and experience themselves as God-made-manifes, and may know that everything they touch and see and feel is likewise God in manifest Form.

The earth is a tiny part, a minuscule speck, in this unfathomably massive System, and you are a tiny part, a miniscule speck, within IT. And there are specks within YOU that, compared to the Whole of You, are tiny and miniscule. Yet no part and no speck of You is unimportant to the Whole of You, for each constitutes what that Whole IS. And so, too, is it with You and the Living System known as the All, which is Life itself.

Rupere Sheldrake, the groundbreaking biologist, talks of “morphic fields” that underlie the structure of systems such as our galaxy – and that exist within those systems as well, such as here, on earth. Sheldrake (in his book The Physics of Angels, written with theologian Matthew Fox) says that such fields actually animate those systems, giving them their habits and their capacity to organize themselves. “In this sense, molecules, stars, and galaxies are alive, not just microbes, plants and animals.”

How Religious Beliefs Create Civil Law

People become fanatics when they feel they are not being heard. People become fanatical when they feel their point of view is not being honored.
A point of view doesn’t even have to be accepted, but it does have to be honored. Because, you see, if you dishonor another’s point of view, it is as if you disappear it, discounting it as if it were not even there. And when you disappear it, discounting it as if it were not even there.

You’re Making It All Up

The moment you expect to be, you are not. The very act of expecting yourself to be something preludes you from experiencing it. You cannot “expect” to experience something that you are already experiencing. If you are experiencing something of yourself, that means you are not now experiencing it. Either you are experiencing something, or you are expecting to experience it. Expectation places what you wish to experience into the future. Remember that. Expecting something pushes it away from you.

You can create the best apple pie in the world, and still seek to create an even better one. You can know much about the world, and still seek to know more. This is called growth, and the urge to grow is not a negative energy, but a positive one. It is not a judgment, but a desire. It comes not from dissatisfaction, but from passion. The passion OF Life for MORE Life. This passion lies within you, and is the driving force behind all creation.

Judge not, and neither condemn.

Tommorrow’s God talks with everyone, all the time.
Yet the turn of phrase “a God with whom you can speak” can have a double meaning. It can mean that you are speaking “with” God – as in, “conversations with God” – and it can mean that God and you are speaking at the same time – as in, saying words “along with” me.
The first meaning is the meaning associated with yesterday’s God; the second meaning will be associated with Tommorrow’s God, God who speaks TO you and THROUGH you.

Until you see God in the face of your enemy, you cannot see God at all. For, in truth, there is no such thing as an “enemy”. There is only that part of you which is contrast to another part of you.

God exists in, as, and through all things. That God is absent from no one and nothing.

When someone has hurt you, you can do one of several things. You can (a)defend yourself, (b) attack back, or (c) find out what they thought their reason was.
Attacker feels that the one being attacked did something or is doing something to which a defensive response is required.

God is Love.
God is freedom.
God is joy.
God is peace.
God is unity.

You can act as if you are something you are not, but you cannot be something you are not.
“I will always see what you are being. I do not care what you are doing, because what you are doing is not who you are. I will always see you at the level of being.

Change yourself, change your world.

Yesterday has nothing to do with Who You Are. It has only to do with who you thought you were.

Here is a central tenet of the New Spirituality: the purpose – and the greatest opportunity and gift – of life is to re-create yourself anew in the next grandest version of the greatest vision you ever held about Who You Are. And you can do this in every single golden moment of Now.
The time of your transformation is at hand. It is always at hand. It is not a question of whether you “have what it takes,” but of whether you take what you have – and then use it.

If you have the desire, you will have what it takes – precisely because desire is what it takes.

You are affecting the All in All, right now. You can never not affect the All in All. You are affecting It because you are a part of it. What you do, It does. Especially that part of It that is in close proximity to you. You cannot do a thing without affecting the All, because you are It, and It is you. Therefore, what you do affects It, immediately and profoundly.

The Jesus Factor

The very fact that you are an individuated part of me means that, by definition, you cannot possess the Totality of Understanding, Recollection, and Knowing that the non-individuated Ultimate Reality you call God possesses.
For the same reason that a drop of the ocean does not contain the power of the ocean, even though it is made of the same stuff. It is identical in its composition and its characteristics and its qualities, but it is not the Collective, it is the Individuation, and the Individuation and the Collective are not equal.

“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bound or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? (I Cor. 12-16)

Jesus message was that he is greater than none, nor is any one greater than any other, for You All Are One, and a thing cannot be superior to Itself.

Foundations of The New Spirituality

We Are All One.

Tommorrow’s God will simply say, “I require nothing of you. You may do as you wish. I give you Free Will.” And Tommorrow’s God will mean it. She will not say, “ You have Free Will, unless, of course, you do not do as I require, in which case I will punish you forever.” What kind of Free Will is that? You are free to do what I want you to do?

Well, there is some good logic for you. You are free to vote, but if you don’t vote for me, I will have you shot. You are free to own your own business, but if you don’t give me most of the profits, I will have you fined and put out of business. You are free to speak, but if you say anything I don’t like, I’ll have you thrown into prison. No problem here. You have Free Will, right? You know, in the world in which you live, you call that kind of freedom a mockery. You call it a dictatorship.

Well, the Bible does say that we were made in the Image and Likeness of God.
And the Bible is right about that.
Then you are just a bigger version of us.
No. You are just a smaller version of me.

Life’s Secret Formula

The statement that you are made in the image and likeness of God does not mean that God is like you, but that you are like God.

A true Master is not the one who creates the most servants, but the one who creates most masters.

You are here to wake each other up.

When you give away that which you thought you lacked – love, compassion, companionship, money, anything – you suddenly experience that you had it to give all along. This changes everything. This turns your thinking completely around, allowing you to see that you have what you thought you lacked.
You have it. You have it. Now all you need to do is multiply it. It is impossible to multiply something you do not have. But now that you know you have it, you can expand that experience easily.
But remember, the experience ultimately has nothing to do with quantity. If you have a dollar and you give a quarter, it is as much as if you give a quarter million when you have a million. You cannot quantify beingness. You are either being Giving, or you are not. You are either being Loving, or you are not. “Givingness” cannot be quantified. Neither can love.

You cannot love one person “a lot” and another person “ a little”. You either love or you do not. How you demonstrate your love is another matter. Love may be demonstrated in many ways, but if it is love, it knows no condition, least of all condition of quantifiability.

Is God Needless?

Needlessness is the State of Being in which God resides. God needs nothing. You also, need nothing.

You did not have any needs. You were making it all up.

Life is obedient to Three Basic Principles. Life is functional, adaptable, and sustainable. When it moves toward the edge of functionality – when it cannot function much longer the way it is going – it adapts. Life on earth is about to adapt. It cannot go on like it is. Something is going to have to change, and it will. Life will not let Life down. It will adapt.

Unconditionality is a state of being having no condition at all.

So, Life exists, without any conditions. That means that God exists without any conditions. That means that Love exists without any conditions.

True love is unconditional. Love that places conditions is not love at all, but a counterfeit version of it. Real love, like the real God and like real life, knows no condition.

Love and fear, cannot exist simultaneously in the same space.

EVERY day is Judgment Day. Every moment is the Last Judgment. Everything you think, say, and do announces your judgment about yourself. Every act is an act of self-definition.

Every creative act is a last judgment because you don’t get to redo it. It is a one and only choice.

Wisdom is not having all the right answers, it is having all the right questions.

God is the Source of all that is creative. Answers are not creative. As soon as you think you have an answer, you stop creating. Answers kill creation.

The End of The Single Source

Search within, ask within, inquire within, seek within, go within – for if you do not go within, you go without. You go without answers that satisfy you, you go without peace that remains with you, you go without joy that emanates from you, you go without love that becomes you.
Love does become you – it makes you look very wonderful, indeed – and it turns into You while it turns You into it. That is what Love does. It is transformative. It turns everything inside out. Yet it, like wisdom, must come from within you – each of you – for the experience to be personal and lasting.

Nothing will kill the New Spirituality faster than the idea or impression that it is coming from One Individual Human Source. It IS coming from One Source, but not from one INDIVIDUAL HUMAN source. It is coming from the Single Source that flows through all humans - and indeed, through all of life – everywhere.

Do not say that the truth is exclusively “here” or exclusively “there”, but, rather, that the truth is “neither here nor there,” but everywhere.

Truth is found in Whole nowhere, and in Part everywhere. All of those sources(Qur’an, Upanishads, Bible, Bhagavad Gita, etc), taken singularly, contain incomplete understandings.

The living of your own life writes the book of your most sacred truth, and offers evidence to it.

PART TWO: The Fourth Transformation

New Ways For You to Experience God

Humanity cannot continue to resolve twenty-first century dilemmas with first-century guidelines – much less guidelines that came from before that time.
This is akin to going into a twenty-first-century operating room with first century healing tools.
Tommorrow’s moral, ethical, and social challenges cannot be met using eighteenth – or tenth – or sixth century understandings and instructions. Those instructions and those understandings were not “wrong”, they were not “bad”, they were simply incomplete.

Fundamentalist understandings of the holy scriptures of all your wisdom traditions are wise in many ways – and incomplete, and therefore dangerous, in many other ways. Honor the tradition, but expand the understanding. That is the trick now. That is what religions must do right now if they hope to be helpful to humans in the years ahead – or even to survive.
Honor your wisdom traditions, but expand their understanding.

For those who see themselves as witnesses, rather than participants, in the process of evolution, it will move more slowly.
The New Spirituality will never condemn traditional religion, but seek always to include it in the process by which divine truth continues to be revealed.
There are far too many treasures in your religious traditions to abandon them. The future of humanity with regard to religion is not about desertion, but dissection, not about rejection, but rejuvenation.

This will not occur through the leadership of one person, but through the leadership of many.

There is no area of your life that is not a demonstration of what you believe about Life Itself.
Politics is your spirituality, demonstrated.
Economics is your spirituality, demonstrated.
Education is your spirituality, demonstrated.
Relationship is your spirituality, demonstrated.
Sexuality is your spirituality, demonstrated.
Your life is your spirituality, demonstrated.

God does not call the qualified, God qualifies the called.

Those whose minds have not been closed, those whose hearts still beat boldly, those whose soul can yet be heard, will declare their membership on humanity’s team, and move with thunderous power and lightning speed to reclaim the future.

A Civil Rights Movement for The Soul

The first assignment for anyone wishing to seriously explore Tommorrow’s God and to personally live the New Spirituality will be to go within.
Begin a schedule of daily practice in meditation, deep prayer, silent listening, whatever you are comfortable with.
Exercise your body.
Third, eat well.

Smoking is eating the worst kind, because it is eating away at YOU – but you simply don’t seem to care. You don’t even care for those who deeply love you, for you are willing to deprive your spouse, your children, and your family of you by dying earlier than you were designed to, just so you can have your multiple nicotine hits each day.

When Life, rather than Instant Gratification, becomes your Prime Value, you will know that you have become truly spiritual.

Presently, most humans do not want to take care of themselves. They want someone else to take care of them.

If there is one thing that is doing you in, if there is an Achilles’ heel of the human race, here it is: Dependence

Only because you are dependent can you be oppressed by an unreasonable, violent God. Only because you are dependent can be oppressed by an unreasonable, violent government. Only because you are dependent can you be oppressed by an unreasonable, violent society, or an unreasonable violent economy, or even by unreasonable, violent schools – where now you have to not only educate yourselves, but defend yourselves. The second greatest weakness of your species is lack of interdependence.

To be “interdependent” is to be in a reciprocal relationship. To be “dependent” is to be abnormally reliant on something to the degree that it is physically or psychologically habit-forming.

Tommorrow’s God will not encourage any such thing. In fact, Tommorrow’s God will say, “You do not need me. You do not need religion. You do not need government. You do not need your employer. You do not need the social structures you have invented. They are your tools, you are not theirs. Use them for your convenience, do not be used by them for theirs.

Do not swallow anything whole, do not accept anything on someone else’s word, and do not “go along with the crowd” because it is the easiest thing to do.

Well, there are many authors whose books I(the author) would recommend, including Brad Blanton (Honest to God), Deepak Chopra (How to Know God), Ram Dass (Still Here), Wayne Dyer (There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem), Duane Elgin (Promise Ahead), Thich Nhat Hanh (The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching), Thom Hartmann (The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight), Robert Heinlein (Stranger in a Strange Land), Hazel Henderson (Building a Win-Win World), Esther and Jerry Hicks (Ask and It Is Given), Jean Houston (Jump Time), Barbara Marx Hubbard (Conscious Evolution), and Gerald Jampolsky (Love is Letting Go of Fear).
Also, Daphne Rose Kingma (The Future of Love), Dr. Illchi Lee (Brain Respiration), Rabbi Michael Lerner (Spirit Matters), Mary Manin Morrisey (No Less Than Greatness), Wayne Muller (Learning to Pray), Jack Reed (The Next Evolution), Don Miguel Ruiz (The Four Agreements), Rabbi Jonathan Sacks (The Dignity of Difference), Robert Theobald (Reworking Success), Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now), Marianne Williamson (Everyday Grace), Paramahansa Yogananda (Autobiography of a Yogi and Gary Zulkav (Seat of the Soul).

Whole that is Greater than the Sum of Its Parts.

Standing firm in an “either/or” position rarely serves anyone – least of all, Life. You do not live in an “either/or” reality. The reality is “both/and.”

From your(the author) present point of view, it makes perfect sense, because you are standing firm in your black-and-white world. Yet if it’s true that “religions mean nothing if they mean everything,” then God would have to mean nothing, too, since God is everything.

Yet if God is “this” and not “that”, then something would have to exist that is “not God” – and such a thing is impossible.

Nothing exists, nor can exist, outside of God.

In the days of the New Spirituality many of your presently established religions will stop declaring that something can exists outside of God.

In the days ahead humanity will choose between Big God and Little God. Big God is the God That Is Everything, and Little God is the God that is Some Things, but Not Other Things.
In the world of Little God, God is the source of all things positive, and the Devil is the source of all things negative. This is how your major, exclusivist organized religions have resolved the duality between what you call the Positive and the Negative in your limited thinking.

When you deny the good in anything, when you deny the perfection of anything, you are seeing it as negative. In this you imagine that you are seeing Satan. SATAN is Seeing Any Thing As Negative.
Satan does not exist as a person. Satan is a State of Mind.
“See the perfection.” “All things are perfect.”

DEVIL is Denying Everything Valuable in Life! When we deny God’s perfection, calling anything in Life imperfection, we have got it all backward, we have lived backward. And “lived”, backward, spells “Devil”!

GOD is Getting Over Denial.

All of Life is a movement between the Macro and the Micro, between the largest and the tiniest expression of Itself. It is a pendulum process, a breathing in and a breathing out.

The human race has been in the process of expanding. Expanding its consciousness, expanding its awareness, expanding its state of being. Yet humanity is now making a decision, and the human race is holding its collective breath. You are asking, shall we become more, still more, than we are now, or shall we begin to become less? Shall we take in more air, even more life, or shall we stop expanding now, and begin to expel the air we have inhaled, releasing the life energy we have collected, and eventually starting the whole process over? Shall we inflate or deflate, expand or contract, become larger or become smaller?
It is no accident that your doctors call the act of breathing in “inspiration”. And so, do you choose inspiration or expiration?

When human see themselves as A PART of God, instead of APART from God, their whole perspective will change in such a way that life across the planet will become something it has never been before.

Tommorrow’s God and “Real Life”

To say that it is raining outside is not the same as saying that rain is bad.

God is all powerful, all creative, all knowing, unlimited, and everywhere present? And are these not the characteristics of one who is the essence of freedom itself?

Life will be rearranged to become part of the solution, rather than part of the problem.

Enlightened societies are self-determining societies.

Throwing The Money Changers Out – Again

Your society and the values you have established for it have made it virtually impossible for a business that does not make a profit to stay “in business”.

In the days of the New Spirituality, wealth will be defined not as possessions and power, but as access and happiness.

Shift from a “possessions-and-power” economy to a “use-and-cooperation” economy. Not everyone needs their own vacuum cleaner. They simply need the use of one. Not everyone needs their own washing machine. They simply need the use of one.

Right now many humans are paying an enormous amount of money to own and hold things, most of which they use a tiny fraction of the time that they own it.

It is simply a matter of changing your “every man for himself” economy to a “highest good for all” economy.

In the book ‘The Next Evolution’, the book by Jack Reed, wrote that the world could change overnight if humanity simply changed its definition of wealth from “possession and power” to “use and cooperation”.

“Live simply, so that others may simply live.”

In the days of the New Spirituality, the economy will be transparent.

(Conversation with God, book 2) Business practices as placing two numbers on every price tag – “Our Cost/ Your Price” – so that consumers would know at the point of purchase what a company’s per unit profit margin is. Also, sending around to all employees within a company a sheet each month indicating the to-the-penny salaries and benefits of every person employed.

Instead of creating one massive economy, create lots of “little economies” all over the place.

Humanity’s greatest weakness is dependency.

In the days of the New Spirituality, there will be no disproportionate holding of wealth and resources, and abject poverty will no longer be allowed to exist.
In the days of the New Spirituality, it will be recognized that every human being has a right to the basics of Life and the ability to survive.

In the days of the New Spirituality, it will be recognized that natural resources belong to all.

Our Kids and God

Children spend hours in front of screens – TV screens, computer screens, video-game screens, movie screens. They are being, quite literally, screened out from Life Itself.
This process removes them from reality and places them into an imaginary world.

Tommorrow’s God will teach children never to be afraid to fail, because failure does not exist in God’s kingdom. Only effort exists, and effort is all that matters and all that counts, because every effort leads to an outcome that moves Life Itself forward – and forward is where Life yearns to go.

Tommorow’s God will teach children that there are no losers, only those who have lost their ways.

Education is the single most important tool that can be used in the transformation of humanity. Those who seize power and seek to hold on to it understand this very well, and that is why they do whatever they can do to curtail or control education and learning among their people. The way to control a population is to control a population’s mind, and the best way to do that is to being with the young.

I(the author) wonder if educators will ever acknowledge that most of those problems and challenges that today’s kids are going to have to face will be in the end have little or nothing to do with geometry, geography, biology, or history, and everything to do with fairness, tolerance, equality, and honesty.

In the days of the New Spirituality, coercion and punishment will not be part of the educational process.

Spanking a child after telling the child that he should never deliberately hurt others does not teach the child to “be better”, it only teaches him that physical violence is the way that people in control deal with problems. It models for the child the exact behavior you are asking the child not to demonstrate.

There is no such thing as Right and Wrong, there is only What Works and What Doesn’t Work, given what it is you are trying to do.

You do not want the child to simply stop her behavior, but to alter it. There is a difference. Punishment, or the threat of it, can perhaps work once in a while in getting another to stop a certain behavior – but the behavior will start up again in some very near future (as parents…and presidents…have learned), because punishment merely halt behavior, it does nothing to change it.

Well, I (the author) have to say that there are some education experts who agree with you, and who do not say that punishment is sometimes the best and only last resort. Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish did write a book on this subject alone, and it filled with priceless wisdom for teachers and parents. It is called How to Talk So Kids Can Learn – At Home and in School.

Many people do believe that God punishes human beings for not obeying his laws, and that human beings, therefore, have the moral authority and the responsibility to do the same to each other.

Emphasis in future schools will not be on getting children to duplicate(memorization), but to create. Duplication is one thing, creation is another.

In the days of the New Spirituality the focus of education will be on creation.

It will be, most important, about connecting their minds to their souls, connecting their bodies to their minds, and experiencing all three as one.

Creation Education will be centered around the following major messages that the New Spirituality will bring to children:
1. You are One with everyone and everything in the Universe – including God. All things are part of One Living System
2. Because you are One with God, you have the power to create what you wish to experience in your life
3. The way you create is by what you think, say, and do.
4. It is not possible to make a mistake in the process of creation, and failure is an illusion. Everything that you create is perfect just as it is – including you.
5. When you create, you are fulfilling the purpose of your life, because creating is how you grow and evolve, and that is what you and all living things are on earth to do.
6. Life itself is your greatest teacher, and it has built-in consequences, but never punishments. Punishments is not a part of God’s plan, and has no place in God’s Kingdom. Learning was always meant to be easy – it is actually a process of remembering what your soul has always known. This kind of “learning” will be joyful when you use the experience that you are now having to remember as much as you can about Life. Then you will remember what you need to remember when you need to remember it to make life work in the future.
7. Try never to harm another person, place or thing in any way, but only to help others and love them as best you can, especially when they have made a mistake or have done something wrong. If you can do this, you will create a friend of just about everyone you know, and when you need one, you will never be without one.
8. There is enough for everyone. It takes very little to be happy, and the fastest way to create happiness for yourself is to create happiness for another.
9. Your very best friend is Life Itself, because it never ends. When portion of your life that you spend on earth is over, there will be no “Judgment Day,” no condemnation, and no punishment, but simply an opportunity for you to review all the thoughts, words and actions of your life and decide whether, as you go on to other adventures, you wish to choose again when confronted with similar circumstances. Choice is the process by which you evolve, and ultimately experience Who You Really Are.

The Three R’s that you would teach your children about are not nearly as important as the Three R’s that Tommorrow’s God will invite you to teach your children about.

Children do learn to read, write and work with numbers, but only as tools which they can create Reconciliation, Re-creation, and Re-unification.

In the days of “the New Spirituality the priority of education will no longer be the dissemination of facts, but the increasing of sensitivity and awareness and understanding and compassion and acceptance and celebration of and appreciation for the awe and wonder of Life.

Every teacher should be first, a teacher of humanity, and then a teacher of a subject.

These subjects(geography, history, etc) will be shared with children not as things to learn merely for the sake of learning them, but as things to use while they are learning the things that they came to learn.

When creation is experienced as fun, using the tools that it takes to create will be something that every child will want to do. They will not have to be convinced to do it.

There is no such thing as a “purely academic subject”. Everything has to do with Life, and the problem with your schools is that, too often, this connection is not made. Students do not see the relevance of what they are being required to learn, and so they do not want to learn it. When children have a reason to learn something – a reason they agree with – you will never see learning faster. Children can learn the most complex computer program in minutes, leaving adults in the dust. They have figured out how to operate the new TV remote before their parents have finished reading the instructions. They are the only ones in the house who know how to set the timer on the VCR.

All that children want to understand is, “Why do I have to know this?”
What will work is drawing a circle of relevance around a subject. This can best be done by not teaching the subject at all, but teaching something entirely different – something in which the child does have an interest. You might even ask the child on any given day what it is that they would like to learn.

In the days of the New Spirituality, the function of education will be to draw a Circle of Relevance around the raw data and systems that support Life.

The children will be engaged in exploring and experiencing life concepts, with a fact or an equation or a method or a formula not being learned as an end in itself, but used as a means to an end.

An early message of the New Spirituality is that you create your own reality, and much time will be spent in Creation Education opening children to their natural abilities, including their psychic abilities and their manifestation abilities.

The adults can be one of those who provides the “Creation Education”. You can offer classes right now in the New Spirituality, bringing people together on a weekly or biweekly basis, and exploring all of what Creation Education will be saying to children in the years ahead.
Author: How can people do that? How can people give a class in what they don’t even know?
The best way to learn something is to teach it. Go ahead and offer the class. Call it an informal study group in the New Spirituality. Go out and get some of those wonderful books mentioned earlier and build a program around them. Give the group reading assignments and then bring it together to discuss the material.
Create a learning environment in which the “teacher” is doing as much exploring as the “students”. You do not have to know everything there is to know about something in order to teach it. You need merely to have to want to know more about it, and be willing to share your growth process with others.
Remember that good teachers do not try to put something into, but rather seek to bring something out of, every student.
Author: It is not about putting in, it is about tapping in.
And so, in your study group, your job is to pull the wisdom out of the others, not to put your wisdom in there. To pull the wisdom out of others, you need to know nothing. In fact, the less you think you know, the better.

In the days of the New Spirituality, education will be more about creating, not a school, but a learning environment.
