Walt, (et al.), Just saw this (clearing an overwhelm of mail in my inbox). Who knew you'd become a closet advocate of the Law of Attraction (as described by Esther Hicks). I don't see this thinking, for myself, so much a change in thinking as a realignment with what I've always known to be true. And I'm much the happier for it.

Your question to me was what has been happening in my life? A LOT. I have been on a unique journey that has taken be to places in the mind, body and spirit. Around 8 years ago while Bev and I were vacationing at a resort on the west side of Michigan, I listened to a series of CD's called the "Biology of Enpowerment" by Dr. Lee Pulos. That was my introduction into the world of Quantum Physics. It also set my re-examing my theology and belief system. I learned the out beliefs start out as a thought. I think a thought, Think the thought, think the thought, thonk the thought and all of a sudden it becomes my belief. That opened me to look at the programming that .has occurred over the last 75 years. I and everyone else have been programmed my our parent, family, friends, teachers, clergy, church, society, and media. I began to ask myself what do I believe? I decided that I needed a definitioin of God that fit into the quantum universe. That definition was this: "God in unconditional Love." God is that energy that created this universe and dwells within me now. I am the manifestation of God as well as everyone else. Therefore, since God is unconditional love, I and the rest of the universe are one. There is no separation between me and God. Only my consciousness and awareness of that truth. So, how does one experience God in our life. What kind of built in system do we have that allows us to know we are in alignment with that energy. The system is our emotional system. WHen we are optimistic, happy, enthusiastic, passionate about living our lives we are in sync with God. When we experience negative emotions or thoughts we are in alignment. Negative thoughts are not bad it becomes a wake up call to seek out ways to "upgrade" our feelings. This quote labels the focus and purpose of our individual happiness. "God made the world for the delight of human beings."-Mother Teresa The key word is DELIGHT. (I can't get out of bold so pardon the rest of the letter) We ae to enjoy the world and not suffer through it. Because God being unconditional love, there is NO guilt. This on the surface seems like a utopia. Far from it. It means that annew paradigm has occurred. The past is past and the future is open. There is no more "If you do this ....... then......" That is called conditional love. Where we find it so much is throughout the Old Testament and even the New Testament. We have seen it throughout the life of the church by the pronoucments and sanctions. No more. Our society and almost every culture has many instances and experiences of this conditional love. When you stand in unconditional love you focus on your direction for your life. Thus, I give up the resistance that tries to CONTROL others and the situation. I am in a state of ALLOWING others be. WHEN I an in alignment with who I am, I am in alignmnet with the energy that creates worlds. That means there is no more worry about the world God is taking care of it. The world doesn't need to be fixed. I am never going to get it done so there is no right way for living. I am proposing a new context for the 21st Century. The old way of thinking about the past does not help create to new future. So I have dismissed the old as timewasters and am focused to the opportunity and solutions for the future. To regertate the poprblems does not enable to process or solutions. Part of our emotional guidance system is what we have called intuition. We need to listen to our intuition for it is the link to the universal intelligence or God. Mediation is one way to clear our mind of the noise of the world. Appreciation is another way of focusing on feeling good. By the way, I have decided that there are a different set of acts in worship. There are three acts: The Act of Appreciation, the Acr of Listening (The Word) and the Act of Allowing. This brings freedom and spirit back into worship. There are mountains fo thoughts and side bars I could expound on. I am working some of this through as I am going through each day. Thia may not make sense to you or the rest but I am having fun again. This is the beginning. The areas I am working in is health (how can we heal ourselves?), money( how can we attract it?), wellbeing ( how can we live a life of wellbeing) I wanted to bring you up to date as to where I am on my journey Grace and Peace Walt Kargus _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net
