Vivian’s comments from the New Age and Metaphysical Self Help group.

The Third Option
When dealing with a problem, most tend to decide from two option. Either you react to it or ignore it. When you react to it, the problem continues to exist due to the fact that whatever you put your attention on you create more of. If you ignore a problem it also still remains due to the fact that ignoring something means that you acknowledge it is there, but sweep it under the rug instead of getting rid of it.
There is however a third option that many of you may not be aware of. The third option is to see the problem as a blessing. Ask your self: How is this a blessing? Every problem holds a beautiful opportunity to experience a greater blessing. You may not think of the problem as blessing first, but as you ask yourself this simple question a greater awareness will dawn on you and doors you did not see prior to this problem magically open for you to walk through.

I Am: The Key To Manifesting

It sounds very interesting. I don't think that niche is taken yet...hint hint : )

Yes, I liked the power of now more than A New Earth, and just finished reading Who am I by Ramana Maharshi. Was a bit short but I do prefer books straight to the point without all that "Fluff" LOL

Have you read "I am That" by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj ?

Hi Gail! I love your insight on "confusing the egoic mind". Have you read A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle?

My realization came through contemplation:


One day while sitting outside on my back porch, I thought about God and where God is when I heard: I am closer than you think.
My first reaction was of course, everyone knows that. God is wherever I am, but I heard nothing in reply. Instead there was this silence, you know the one where two people are talking and one doesn’t reply so you add something to get a response.
So I thought about the statement: Closer than you think. Closer than thinking, thinking, thought, closer than thought, before thought! I got it. A light bulb went off ….Before thought there is silence in my mind and I found God and my true Self in that silence.

In the silence of our mind we are one with God. Only in the silence of our minds are we One. One with all.
There is no separation, no differences, no judgment…..we are all the same in the silence of our mind. In the silence of our mind which is simply the absence of thought, we are pure state of being and from the state of pure state of being we can be anything.

Meditation is a tool to help quite the mind. As one focuses attention on one thing (which can be breathing)thoughts will come in the mind and try to pull your attention away from what the attention is trying to focus on. If this happens just be aware of it and bring your attention back to the subject of your choice. It takes practice, but with time you will be able to enjoy the peace of just having one thing in your mind. For those, that seek an even deeper meaning to life and would like to transcend the mind practice not focusing on anything. Let go of the subject of attention and move into no thought. In the silence of mind we realize our true Self and are One with all.
