What Day/Time/Season/Planet Is This??!

The reason I shared that simple exercise we did yesterday first was because we have to start where we are. There are no short-cuts. Sorry – I certainly understand if that's not what you wanted to hear! Believe me – I have to remind myself of that all the time!

self or Self??

By the way: I want to take a moment to explain my use of words. Much like Abraham, I choose different word forms to impress different ideas.

There are infinite meanings conveyed through words, but words and word-forms are talismans, and so they can be used to remind us of things we don't normally think of!

Also, just as with the Abraham teachings, these are not the only instances where I will do this – but for now, here's an example to let you know what I mean:

When I use a lower-case “s” in words like ourselves, myself and yourself, it is to denote the “little self” that we currently consider to be us. The beta-wave functioning, “conscious” self. The self with limited perspective and externally acquired knowledge.

When I use a capital “S” it is to denote our true Selves, the Self that we should be living from! Our Soul - our direct, uninhibited connection to/part of - God or Source. The unlimited, expansive and intrinsically knowledgeable Self! Our true Self.

Is Today the Same as Yesterday?

The obstacle we face most often is that we try to start from where we were yesterday. We wake up thinking about all the problems, disappointments and “issues” we already experienced.

In doing so, we lose hope. We lose perspective. We lose our ability to effectively operate in this world.

That's no way to live!

What happened yesterday happened. Its done. Over. Bye-bye! There is nothing you can do to change it by dwelling on it. (Yeah... we'll get into that later...)

Conversely, we wake up thinking about all the horrible possibilities and questions we have about “later.” The meeting we have this afternoon, the lack of money in our account when rent's due next week, the supposedly crashing economy that will cause us to lose our job, our home, etc etc, ad nauseum.

Well, none of that has happened yet, has it? No, not one iota of it.

You think you know its coming, and you've judged yourSelf incapable of a good outcome.

And, you have made that current decision based on what has happened in your life previously.

Or worse, on what has happened to others – also previously.

Stop it!

Evidence-based living is no way to go through life.

Again, that is the past. And we cannot change what occurred in the past. We certainly cannot change what happened to others in the past, either!

What About Where We Are NOW?

Today is a NEW day. You are a NEW you! The world is different – even though it might not look that way. Everything has changed.

Think back to yesterday's exercise... Remember?

What were you thinking, and how did it make you feel?

Not even the cells in Our bodies are the same as they were yesterday, so what makes us think that our circumstances have to stay the same??

Who or what is it that tells Us what We have to accept or settle for? That what happened in the past, or to others, must – without fail or option – happen to us now or in the future?

No one and nothing. Ever. Period.

Well, that's not exactly true – because that who or what that tells Us all these horrible untrue things is US. We do it to ourselves, and then we live from that idea. Ick!

Think About This:

Contemplate for a moment, if you will – the idea that if you set your alarm clock you can wake up at exactly the same time every day?

Is this possible?

NO!!!

Even if you wake up at the precise moment on the clock, you cannot wake up at that precise moment more than once – ever – in the entirety of your existence, right?!

That moment was gone yesterday. Even if you wake up at 8 o'clock on the dot every single day of your life, the fact is that you are waking up at 8 o'clock on a different, brand spanking new, never-before-experienced day.

The sun is in a different position in the sky. The earth is in a different position in the galaxy, and the galaxy is in a different position in the cosmos. Your body is 24 hours “older” and you have had myriad experiences since 8 o'clock yesterday morning. You have moved. You have breathed. You have spoken. Your heart has beat “x” number of times. Cells in your body have died, and others have been birthed to replace them.

Everything is different!

Mourning Your Morning is NOT an Option!

Now, this might seem like a no-brainer... The trick, though, is to experience this on a moment-to-moment basis! Each moment is like each day!! You will never again experience this particular moment.

Now, our current state of being is such that many of you will mourn the loss of these moments. What a waste...

Do not mourn the moments of Your life, or Life will give you plenty more mourning!

REJOICE that each and every moment, You get to make a new choice! You are open to unlimited possibilities – and You get every single moment from now on to choose to experience better and better things!

YOU get to choose. Every moment.

Again, this is something we all know, but it is something never thought about... Its these “little” ideas in the back of Our minds we don't tend to connect with.

It is in the connection that we find the breakthrough. The epiphany! In the space between the thoughts, in the silence between the sounds is where Truth lies.

It is the connection – or, rather – the re-connection, in the resonance, (the matching vibration!) that is the “Aha!”

As Wayne Dyer says: “I'll meet you in the gap!”

All my love and blessings -

Since we're going to take it a bit slow (in the beginning), this is all I have for you today – just contemplate this idea. Think about it. Let it sink in.

You might not be able to get yourself all excited about it just yet, but that will come. I promise. For now, just play with the idea!

And, please, take a moment share your thoughts and experiences below!
