words), “You, too, are da’ man.” I’m a single mom, not exactly the best “stereotype” in which to be cast. Like being black or Jewish, it brings up certain preconceived notions. People automatically expect me to be poor, maybe on welfare.
transform energy is so important it should be taught along with reading, writing, and arithmetic. And it all starts with intent, the force that lies behind everything. It’s the energy, the fuel, the electric charge that sets up a resonant field and sends out probability waves into the FP. Esther Hicks, who facilitates the Abraham-Hicks material, calls it “launching a rocket of desire.” Giving it attention adds mass.
Before launching each experiment, make the intention to give up past conditioning. I usually start with this adage from A Course in Miracles: “Open your mind and clear it of all thoughts that would deceive.”
“God is not the pushover that some people would like you to believe.”
The God most of us believe in is an invention of man, fabricated for the sake of convenience.
Trying to define God, of course, is impossible. God isn’t static, any more than electricity or light is static. God lies beyond the material world of matter, shape, and form. It fills the cosmos, saturates reality, and supersedes time and space. But that doesn’t stop us from trying to construct definitions.
Some part of us knows that “the force” is with us and that we, through our words, thoughts, and deeds, create the world.
To do this experiment properly, you have to set aside skepticism. Not forever; just for 48 short hours. All you have to do is spend two measly days expecting to see proof. Expect to see the dude in living color. Expect it with your whole heart. Expect it with every ounce of your soul. Like any good hypothesis, this one is falsifiable.
Physicists call this phenomenon “collapse of the wave.” Infinite numbers of quantum particles are out in the universal field dancing around, spreading out in waves. The moment someone looks at these energy waves they solidify like gelatin in the refrigerator. Your observing is what makes them appear solid, real, material.
“You will not break loose until you realize that you yourself forge the chains that bind you.”
known as the reticular activating system (RAS),
“You can bring about anything by your thoughts. Align yourself with God consciousness and you can bring about truth in material form. What you think, you create.” There is no power on Earth that can cut you off from this source except your own consciousness.
What Einstein discovered and what that famous equation E = mc2 means is that mass and energy are basically two forms of the same thing. Energy is liberated matter, and matter is energy waiting to happen.
In other words, the material world is nothing but dense energy patterns. Scientists put all these sub-subatomic particles into a particle accelerator, collided them, and ultimately discovered that there is no particle at the source. It’s all just pure unbounded energy vibrating so fast that it defies measurement and observation. So, despite how it looks to the naked eye, you are energy.

The most dangerous ads, as far as I’m concerned, are the new prescription drug ads, because they teach people to be sick. Madison Avenue has done a stellar job training us to need deodorant, mouthwash, and Domino’s two-for-one pizzas. Now, they’re breaking new ground by training us to be sick.
“If I had learned to read,” he said, “I’d pick up other people’s ideas and cement those in my head. I choose not to bother with the interference.”
Anytime we look for an answer, we make the false assumption that the answer isn’t already here. Intending love or happiness or some other desired goal defeats the whole purpose. It assumes that the outcome of life is still in doubt. It’s not.
To plead or beg or to act like it’s not here is to suppose duality, not unity.
Unlike ordinary light, which has lots of different types and sizes of wavelengths, lasers have wavelengths of only one size, which lends them pinpoint precision.
If you go back to Aramaic—which as you probably know, is the language in which Jesus conversed—the root word of ask reveals more than a “well, if it’s not too much trouble.” Ask, in Aramaic, means a combination of “claim” (as in, that deed to the land is yours) and “demand.” To ask for something in prayer is to simply lay hold of what’s yours. You have the right, and even the responsibility to command your life.
Intentions that are focused through an integrated, whole personality are like a laser—a single, clear beam.

It’s impossible to stop praying. Can’t be done. Thomas Merton, the Christian mystic, said that “we pray by breathing.”
We are powerfully imprisoned by the terms in which we have been conducted to think.”
The point is that guidance comes in all packages. For many years, just before he went to sleep Napoleon Hill, author of the classic Think and Grow Rich, would call an imaginary council meeting of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Paine, Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin, Abraham Lincoln, Luther Burbank, Henry Ford, Napoléon, and Andrew Carnegie. As chairman of this imaginary cabinet, Hill was able to ask questions and get advice.
Michael Beckwith, before he became a powerful New Thought minister at the Agape International Spiritual Center near Los Angeles, saw a vision of a scroll unroll that read, “Michael Beckwith to speak at the Tacoma Church of Religious Science.” When the Tacoma pastor called, saying, “Hey, Michael, we’d like you to come speak at our church,” Michael said, “I know.”
One of the main functions of formalized religions is to protect people against a direct experience of God.” —CARL JUNG, SWISS PSYCHIATRIST

But what I’m going so far as to say is that we’ve been led down the garden path by a bloated, greedy medical system that has convinced us that disease is inevitable.

“Now I don’t know about you, but I showed up on this planet as a happy little boy who liked myself. But it didn’t take long to learn that the people in authority knew more about me than I did. I learned that I needed to pay attention and that it was the teachers who were going to tell me how good I was in school. The coaches were gonna decide if I had any athletic ability. I learned early on to look outside myself for who I was.
