What Am I Actually Asking For And Getting

By John, 5 months and 16 days ago

Many will say that you must ask God to be given what you want, in a «will you please» way. But this is relinquishing your natural ability and right to know for yourself, to think for yourself and to choose what you want. What we receive from the Intelligent Universe is not based on the whim of a human like mind, it is a clear cause and effect system. We are here, as individualizations of God, to notice what's possible and ask for it. And, yes we can expect it to come into our life experience, but we must prepare for it first.

By John Halderman, 1 year and 6 months ago

But also many find this to be not as straight forward as they thought.

Are You Blinded By Your Life?

By John Halderman, 1 year and 10 months ago

Your life is going on and on and on. This is a good thing of course and your brain is designed to keep it this way. Part of your brains function is to simplify as much as possible and to help you feel good which it is very good at. Now you may think that you are always feeling as good as you want this is because your brain sees keeping things the same as more comforting than change. So even what may not be good for you is perpetuated. Your brain is very good at keeping everything the same, in fact it helps to enhance whatever has already been experienced. The way the brain sees this is, you must want it – you chose it, even if not consciously.

Experiencing More Self-Discovery

By John Halderman, 2 years ago

Self-discovery happens as the result of conscious mental and physical action. Doing the same things over and over is not conscious mental action, it's passive unconscious automatic beahavior.

We think we are thinking because our brains are working, that is not thinking. Real thinking is active curiosity, analysis, planning, dreaming and questioning. When you carry on only doing the same things each day in the same ways, you are essentially living one day many times. But when you are actively thinking, you are living a new day each day. And your personal growth and development is based on self-discovery. If you don't find out more about yourself, who you are and what you can do, there is nothing to grow into. Becoming aware of yourself right now is the first important step- you can't do anything about what you aren't aware of.

You Can Feel Fear and Do It Anyway

By John Halderman, 2 years ago

Does Fear Stop YouHave you ever been overwhelmed with fear as you have faced doing something? We all have I think, each at our own level, with some becoming physically immobilized by it. If your fear feelings overpower you to the point of inaction you have given fear the upper hand. I stated it this way on purpose, your fear is not doing anything to you, rather you are allowing the fear to affect you as it does - it is all within your thought. And you have command over your thought and feelings as well.
