Stephen’s Comments (group member since Mar 14, 2012)

Stephen’s comments from the Q&A about all self-help subjects and more with Stephen Richards group.

Sally, I am humbled right down to my socks for your star rating. Thank you for your wonderful gesture of kindness. The outpouring of support you've already given me fills me to overflowing with abundance

I hope this little article you have written here is shared amongst us, as it is an incredible contribution.

Alfred, long may you be with us.

Jane wrote: "Stephen, I think anything said in a verbal way for such things as manifestation of things is the same for all things. I don't think prayer is something that can just be claimed to be religious, as ..."

Thank you, Jane. What we have in Cosmic Ordering is not a request to a god. There is no need to have a confession of your sins before placing an Order. You can be the badest of the bad and still have success with placing your Orders. Prayer is a form of communication in thoughts or words with a god. Some place a great deal of stock in the power of prayer, and why should we knock it so long as it gives some form of solace. The thing is with religion, you can be made to feel guilty for your success ... not so with Cosmic Ordering.

Sally, Thank you for what you do and for taking the time to post your message on here for us. Now if there was only a mind cure for injury sustained through accidents then it would round it all up nicely.

Maureen, Lovely to hear from you. Allow your drum to beat at the pace you want to go. We are each unique in that we are all different to one another, yet, somehow, the strands of what makes us all up is one and the same.

The questions that really have an impact on us, the ones we really need answered are those that strike closer to home. We want to know how to improve ourselves, how to better our situation, how to acquire success, how to achieve security.

There are many self-help courses out there which aim to teach people how to do just that, how to find those answers. For the more traditionally and religiously minded, however, the answer lies in prayer.

Since time immemorial, all cultures and peoples have set much stock in the power of prayer, regardless of whether or not it works for them. To many, the simple act of praying is enough, and they are willing to trust in whatever higher power they believe in to provide for their needs. If those needs fail to come, then the flaw lays not in the act of prayer (they claim), but rather in the one who offered that prayer. Perhaps it was not deemed worthy of fruition.

There were also those who believed that requests, properly framed, complete with the right formula and offerings had the power to ensure the success of said request. Many of them were called magicians.

Today, more and more have begun to explore and subscribe to these claims, with popular franchises like “The Secret” movement, and others. Social commentators suggest that the reason for this resurgence in self-empowerment methods and is because of all these changes happening around us, all these political and economic uncertainties that have become a normal part of our everyday lives.

They believe that the interest in these movements is out of a desperate bid to find some measure of security in a world that is changing too fast, one where there is little room for it anymore.

There are many names for this self-empowerment method: prayer, manifesting, law of attraction, magic, etc.

For me, though, it is referred to as Cosmic Ordering.

Simply put, Cosmic Ordering is placing a request, or an Order, if you will, and trusting that somehow it will come to be.

It does not matter if you are asking for health, for happiness, for wealth, or for all three. It doesn’t matter if you have no idea how this will come to you. Neither does it matter if you have no reason to expect it to.

What matters is that you phrase your request in a calm, clear, precise, and expectant manner, and trust that it will be given to you.

Who or what will bring this about is not within the scope of this topic to discuss in detail, but the words Cosmos or universe are the preferred terms.

Maureen, thank you. I have to admit, all of your choices are great, and I love the Seascape CD, too. I really do enjoy reading about what you and others like to listen to, as it gives me some guidance on what's worth connecting with.

thank you for taking the time to post your selections,

I had to give this song a listing all by itself, as The Cranberries song "Dreams" is such a powerful piece.

I mean look at how it starts: "Oh, my life is changing everyday!" What a powerful affirmation to start the day off with!

Don't you just want to jump around and dance when you hear this. Okay, sit and tap your feet then. It's impossible to ignore.

It's all about love, finding something, being given something. Powerful ...

Stephen Richards

Music motivates, can open your mind and can raise your state of vibrancy. Music is such a powerful resource that it cannot be ignored in what it can do and the power from within it.

Music has the power to change our emotional output. Of course, music can equally stir old memories, but herein we are looking for "motivational music".

So please feel free to list your motivational songs/music scores and let us know how it makes you feel.

It's not uncommon for students to listen to classical music when studying as studies have revealed that this can enhance learning.

Here we are looking for songs that boost your creativity, that lift us on a high.

The categories can be anything you like: a film soundtrack, Pop, Hip-Hop & Rap, Classic, Rock & Metal, Techno & House, R 'n B, hip Hop, Orchestral, etc, etc.

Look at some of the old favorites from films: Rocky, The Titanic, etc, etc.

In fact here are some of my favorite film songs (and it doesn't necessarily mean I have watched the film):

Survivor, 'Eye of the Tiger' ('Rocky III,' 1982)

The Righteous Brothers, 'Unchained Melody' ('Ghost,' 1990)

Joe Cocker / Jennifer Warnes, 'Up Where We Belong' ('An Officer and a Gentleman,' 1982)

Whitney Houston, 'I Will Always Love You' ('The Bodyguard,' 1992)

Berlin, 'Take My Breath Away' ('Top Gun,' 1986)

Jennifer Warnes & Bill Medley, 'The Time of My Life' ('Dirty Dancing,' 1987)

Celine Dion, 'My Heart Will Go On' ('Titanic,' 1997)

Roxette, 'It Must've Been Love' ('Pretty Woman,' 1990)

Tina Turner, 'We Don't Need Another Hero' ('Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,' 1985)

Katrina and the Waves, 'Walking on Sunshine' ('High Fidelity,' 2000)

Kermit the Frog, 'Rainbow Connection' ('The Muppet Movie,' 1979)

R. Kelly, 'I Believe I Can Fly' ('Space Jam,' 1996)

Bette Midler, 'Wind Beneath My Wings' ('Beaches,' 1988)

Louis Armstrong, 'What a Wonderful World' ('Good Morning Vietnam,' 1987)

Ben E. King, 'Stand by Me' ('Stand by Me,' 1986)

Bryan Adams, '(Everything I Do) I Do It for You' ('Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,' 1991)

Vangelis – Chariots of Fire

What about individual songs that lift you on a high? Here are some of mine, although I must admit they are not in any particular order and I am sure I could make it one million singles in the listing, but here goes:

Queen – We will Rock You (Doesn't it get you going, and the beat!)

Queen – We are the Champions (Awesome!)

Michael Jackson – Man in the Mirror

Katrina and the Waves – Walking on Sunshine

Elton John – I’m still standing

Snap – I got the Power

Beach Boys – Good Vibrations

Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling

Pink Floyd - Money

Andy Williams - The Impossible Dream

Phil Collins – In the Air Tonight

Tina Turner – Simply the Best

Johnny Nash - I can see clearly now

Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive

Chumba Wumba - Tub Thumping

Enya - Just about anything by her.

I am sure you ve so many to add to your own listing, look forward to it.

HOW TO NEGATE CATASTROPHIC VIBRATIONAL NEGATIVITY
There is, of course, a way to dissolve such negative karma. Eureka! I have the answer!

PREDICTIONS, PREDICTIONS, PREDICTIONS
Stanislaw Lem predicted in his book The Principle of Catastrophes that creative destruction would become a leitmotif (any sort of recurring theme) of the 21st century. He describes the world as an agglomeration (a jumbled cluster or mass of varied parts) of coincidental catastrophes - determined by strict laws- and extreme global and intergalactic catastrophes as being a prerequisite for the development of human life.

THE ANSWER, MY FRIEND, IS BLOWING IN THE WIND
An unwillingness to forgive is a key element (of a number of other elements) that has stopped you from neutralizing bad karma. As hard as this is going to be to digest, you have to completely forgive those that you have tensions with. How difficult is that for you? For some of you it will be easy, but it has to be done with a pure sentiment of wishing to secure a resolution, not a false one with the ulterior motive of getting your Ordering back on track. No, no, no … it will not work if you do that!

I would like to say, “Now is the time to forgive all those who victimized you.” But how can I tell that to a victim of violent or abusive crime? How can I tell that to a survivor of the Holocaust? All what I can do is guide you, it is for you to decide if you want to forgive. I am not asking you or telling you to do so, make your own mind up.

FALLOUTS
We have all had some kind of fallout, one way or another, with someone. It is only through forgiveness that the karma that connects you to catastrophic vibrational negativity is resolved, but never dissolved. When you forgive each other, and you truly do this with your heart, then your karma can be freed, and negative energies directed away from you, as they have no hook to latch on to. The negative energies can be rerouted. Where they are rerouted to is not your concern, so long as you are free of them. You cannot hope to destroy such energy or absorb it away from the world, there is just too much of it going around.

PAYBACK TIME
There will be those you harmed who will not forgive you. In this case it is you who must seek forgiveness, either in silence or in meditation. Without forgiveness these tensions can only be removed by reparation, by serving those people in a special way. And by this I don’t mean holding the door open for them. It has to be something worthy of penance. This is no easy path.

The changeability of energy is of utmost importance because this means that your consciousness can be raised, and brought to a higher level of existence.

However, this also means that all energies that you spread, positive or negative, continue to exist until they are channeled away from you. So, when you cause friction and send out negative vibrations during your arguments, these energies will continue to exist and put a load on your karma.

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS A MYTH
If you can even forgive those that purposely cause you harm, then you can also be forgiven. I do not agree with the ‘unconditional love’ tag that we must apply to all humans, as some are intrinsically evil and are riddled with bad karma.

HOW CAN YOU FORGIVE SOMEONE WISHING YOU HARM?
It is of course not always easy to forgive those that want to do you harm, but you will find that when you meet those people with unconditional, universal forgiveness, they will begin to treat you differently. They will either respond to your love or they will try to avoid you. Acts of unconditional forgiveness can confuse them. Such beings have come far off the path and cannot distinguish the good from the bad. For you, they offer to test your ability to forgive all beings, universally and unconditionally.

CAN YOU DEFLECT BAD KARMA FROM OTHERS?
NO, is the answer. You cannot interfere with another’s karma. You can only create your own karma. If you see an act of violence, and you say to yourself, “He must deserve this or it wouldn't be happening. His suffering is not my concern,” what karma are you creating? The indifference that you show to a fellow soul is the same indifference that you will encounter one day. It will come back and bite you on the rear!

GIVE AND THEN YOU WIN, TAKE AWAY AND THEN YOU LOSE
When I refer to a violent action, it need not be as dramatic as a fight, or a sexual assault. You see, indifference is a violent action. So are greed, jealousy, and exploitation. When you give something then that is a nurturing action and impulse. However, when you detract something from life, then this is what I am talking about as a violent impulse. I hope you understand my philosophy here, I am not on about you selling your car and giving the money to charity. I am on about deeds of benevolence that don’t just mean walking by and turning a blind eye to when someone needs help.

The main heading of this folder should read as per this discussion topic heading: Catastrophic Vibrational Negativity, but since it only allows 32 characters in the main folder heading it was shortened to accommodate.

What is Catastrophic Vibrational Negativity (CVN)?

Catastrophic vibrational negativity is like this; imagine connecting the two ends of a wire to the terminals of a dry cell battery? When an electrical charge flows through the wire a magnetic field is created around the wire. This can be demonstrated by sprinkling some iron filings around the wire. A pattern will form, outlining the electromagnetic field surrounding the wire. A charge will be set up and this is what attracts the filings to the field.

The nature of any object with a magnetic field around it is to attract to it over a distance of space another object with a similar magnetic field around it. Catastrophic vibrational negativity attracts catastrophic vibrational negativity. The emotional feeling comes first, and sets up a charge which then results in a corresponding event subsequently drawn into our environment! Do you understand the concept? Good! Now we are getting somewhere.

Society has the understanding of this relationship backwards. We believe that events happen because we are powerless beings. If the event is perceived as ‘bad’, we will be struck down with a barrage of negative emotions. The event is then blamed for causing the effects - negative feelings such as anger, resentment or depression.

We have all had some kind of fallout, one way or another, with someone. It is only through forgiveness that the karma that connects you to catastrophic vibrational negativity is resolved, but never dissolved. When you forgive each other, and you truly do this with your heart, then your karma can be freed and negative energies directed away from you, as they have no hook to latch on to. The negative energies can be rerouted. Where they are rerouted to is not your concern, so long as you are free of them. You cannot hope to destroy such energy or absorb it away from the world, there is just too much of it going around.

Soccer player Fabrice Muamba collapsed and "died" on the soccer pitch in front of millions of UK TV viewers 41 minutes into an FA Cup tie game at White Hart Lane soccer ground. For 78 minutes he was dead and even if he lived was expected to have suffered brain damage.

Seconds before he collapsed, Fabrice was gripped by a strange "out-of-body" sensation, felt dizzy and saw double before collapsing literally dead on the soccer pitch. He said, "...it was a kind of surreal feeling, like I was running along inside someone else’s body."

An unusual combination of events was to bring about a life saving deed. By pure chance his life was saved by Dr Andrew Deaner, a cardiologist and Tottenham fan who leapt from his seat in the crowd and rushed to help. Had it not been for a spare ticket, he wouldn’t have been there at all.

As everyone was willing him to live, Dr Deaner organised paramedics resuscitating him, then insisted he was rushed directly to the London Chest Hospital for the best possible specialist care.

Muamba’s father Marcel, a 45-year-old Tesco shop worker from Walthamstow, East London, was at the fateful cup tie told how he begged God to spare his son.

Fabrice has no recollection of the frantic battle to save him which unfolded on live TV in front of millions of fans. After being unconscious for three days and spending 40 days in hospital, he is now back home.

Fabrice said, "I am walking proof of the power of prayer. ....Someone up there was watching over me."

Many will say that it was the power of prayer that helped bring Fabrice back from death, but what of the many non-religous thoughts going out in the ether to save Fabrice? Many were horrified by the events and despite having no real religion, they sent their thoughts out over the days afterwards that Fabrice would be okay.

Since the incident, Fabrice has had all sorts of tests but none of the specialists are sure why he collapsed. All they know is that he has had one of the most amazing recoveries in medical history.

There are many other possible reasons behind what happened to Fabrice, but some may be too daunting to even talk about in such a place.

So swiftly moving on from that darker area, was it prayer that saved the soccer star from death or was it to do with everyone willing him to live through their collective consciousness or a pure miracle that saved Fabrice?
