The Deep Anguishes of Resentment

What is one of the most difficult thought-errors to correct? A mistake each of us has been guilty of? A weakness of character that is so detrimental to the soul that it causes serious illness? I can assure you this unholy vice is resentment.

The reason resentment is so tough to correct is the fact that we justify our actions. We think we are right. We think others have wronged us. We think that we have been treated unfairly and we certainly are convinced that we would never do to anyone what they did to us. Think about this for a minute!

Maybe, what happened in your life has been unfair, maybe you didn’t deserve being laid off the job or you didn’t get the promotion you desired. Maybe you resent a relative’s behavior. Maybe you despise the ex-spouse for the breach of trust inflicted upon you. But here is the deal: Resentment will cause you to suffer. You are the one that will experience the aches and pains of inflexibility, sore muscles, stiff bones, and excruciating discomfort. Why? Because a stubborn and stiff mental attitude will cause exactly these afflictions. Our experiences reflect our thoughts held in mind for a long period of time.

We need to take this mental disposition called resentment seriously.
Resentment is a feeling; a feeling of dislike, anger, bitterness and offence, which can (and will) turn into hate eventually. Don’t let that happen! This angry bitterness will eat away at our core and deprive us of our daily happiness. It will limit us in everything we do. We might think that we have solved the issues with the other person, but please let us look deep inside of ourselves and listen carefully.

Do you still twitch when you hear the other person’s name? Do you feel your stomach turn when you look at old photos of the perpetrator? Do you avoid the company of the person? What about the family members who constantly are asking for a hand-out, or the other side of the spectrum, are always bragging about their good fortune? People who have taken more than they give…

Forgiveness is the healer. I’ve heard someone say: ”I can forgive, but I will never forget!” Let me tell you something. As long as we haven’t “forgotten” the incident that caused our resentment, we have not forgiven. Because, if any time a feeling comes to light that is lesser than good, we are still suffering from “not letting go”.

It’s not worth it I tell you. You are better off to let go and move on. Today is a brand new day with new hopes and aspirations, a day that can be shaped into whatever you want it to be – by you! Resentment has no place in a happy and fulfilled life and by letting it go we will restore our health, loosen our stiff bones, get rid of our arthritis and our bodily pains caused by our stubbornness and un-forgiveness. Be good to yourself!

Visualizing Health by ULRIKE

Let’s examine a more advanced healing aid called visualization. Visualization is a powerful tool we must use in the process of healing any kind of illness. When we use visualization correctly we affirm that all is perfect, by seeing ourselves as perfect and well.

When we display an illness, using a cold for example, we must put our mind into a peaceful state by allowing it to rest. Then we must see ourselves (in our mind’s eye) perfectly happy and well. We stop talking about the cold. We refrain from dwelling on our cold. We do not listen to the squawkers who say that we probably caught the cold from someone else. We know that this is only a human belief, an error. We know that we prefer to be healthy and therefore we visualize ourselves exactly as that, no matter what the appearance.

The healing of all physical afflictions can be aided with this positive visualization. Some diseases, of course, seem more difficult to heal than others. However, the principle is the same. The knowledge (which we will gain through careful and diligent study) that we are perfect beings, made in the image and likeness of the all-power, shall give us the faith needed. It shall make us free. The good intentions to be the best we can be will be our help-mate in all undertakings, including the healing of our physical ailments.

The healing of a decayed tooth or a broken bone, for example, will take more time and patience, since bones appear to be of a more solid substance. Visualization of a perfectly healed bone will help to speed up the healing process.

The basic principle of all healings is the same. Healing a pocket book of scarce finances, healing a need or lack of, healing a broken heart, or healing a mental or physical illness, all adhere to the same universal law; the law of perfection. In the realm of mind all is perfect and good. We, not knowing this fact, have not lived according to the law. We have violated the law and therefore must face the consequences. We are punished for our mistakes, ignorance is no excuse. The law of cause and effect works at all times, good or bad. However, changing our behaviors and thought patterns to conform to the law of perfection, will automatically change our experience and wipe away our woes. It can be done.

I wish you much health and happiness!

The Mind - Body Connection

Luckily the medical profession has started to recognize the connection between our minds and our bodies. Metaphysicians have long affirmed that physical health comes through mental health. We must discover where our thoughts and emotions have caused us pain and illness - and we must heal our thoughts first in order to heal our body.  It’s not the other way around!

This booklet explores the mind/body connection and how to live a healthier lifestyle, so we can learn to make peace with our bodies. We will take a fresh look at our dis-eases and unrests through a rigorous metaphysical diagnosis.

Recognize Stress

First of all, let us recognize what stress does to us if we are not managing it properly. We can all relate to the dis-easiness, called stress, and therefore it will be helpful to you when making the connection between habitual thinking and the unhealthy effects on the body.

Here is a great little story I found online and I frequently use it as an example in my workshops, which I want to share with you:

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?” Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.” Remember to put the glass down!

I’m urging you to ask yourself: Who is holding this glass? Who decides when to put it down, or not?

6 Easy Steps to Managing Stress

- Time management - allow yourself to relax

- Don’t take everything so personally

- Open yourself up to other possibilities

- Learn to accept and appreciate yourself

- Practice the art of calmness

- Find out how staying positive releases tension

We are indigenous to the region of the Universe – We are all One

1/2/2015

I always love the research involved in writing an article about a certain assigned subject. The adjective indigenous is derived from the Latin etymology meaning ‘native’ or ‘born within’; and from this standpoint we can say that any community might be called indigenous in reference to a particular region. Other meanings of the word are inherent, innate, original, first, or natural, which in my mind fully describes our true birthplace called universal Consciousness. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines indigenous people as ‘a body of persons that are united by a common culture, tradition, or sense of kinship, which typically have common language, institutions, and beliefs.’ Doesn’t this sound like ‘us’ the searchers of light and truth?

We all stem from this same life source, originated in the Universal, mental realm - a true mental region. We are connected by similar thoughts and feelings, kind kinship and love, the love of service to others and a sincere spiritual tradition for self-unfoldment. We speak the common language of love.

What does it mean ‘We are all one’? How can we connect through what I call the spider effect?

 Think of a spider web. Isn’t it fascinating? It can stretch, grow bigger and bigger, and it spreads until it entangles all. One little creature can create such a magnificent structure and have such an impact. Like the spider, we are all little creatures compared to the vastness of the Universe. But we all can create a giant web of goodness, because we are all connected in the mental realm. We all come from one source. This connection makes us all powerful.

Our ambition should be to be a spider in the World Wide Web. Not on a website on-line, but in using our ability of our thoughts webbing out into the Universe, connecting to all. Start thinking more all-inclusive thoughts, more Universal thoughts and more all-loving and healing thoughts. Think of a bigger picture and don’t stay in such a small vacuum, called your personal sense.
  


Whatever beliefs are held strongly in mass consciousness will be reflected in the reality of this world, good or bad. If millions of people think the same way, or expect the same outcome it will manifest. Again, the economy is a very good example. It reflects mass consciousness reacting to fear. You can also see this thought power in the creation of epidemics. In the extreme way this is how war happens.

On a positive level, as mass consciousness evolves, it shows the picture of better living, wealth and prosperity in our world. The American people have long been known to have a prosperous attitude and a strong self-sense, which has been reflected in becoming one of the world’s leading nations. The collective sense of America’s population has made the USA what it is today.

We are in an age of great spiritual change

In this day and age people are awakening to the truth that the invisible cause and the visible effect is the result of their own right or wrong thought. They have come to the realization that the Universe is a mental rather than a physical, material state. As more and more people discover this truth, the reflection (your specific life experience and environment) will change to correspond to this newfound insight.

We have to start somewhere. This somewhere is our own right thinking and thereby creating our own right future. From there it is only a few steps to contributing to a greater picture. Don’t underestimate collective consciousness. It is very powerful. It is a spider effect rippling out into the world. Yes, we can make a difference in this world, even though it still needs so much inspiration and healing.

Metaphysical education is becoming more and more important. We have to make sure that we include our brothers and sisters on this journey with us. We must not leave anyone behind. We cannot force them to do what we want them to, but we can put the information and our knowledge out into the Universe. They will find this treasure when they are ready and prepared to take this journey on their own.

So be part of this phenomenon and spread the good word and let’s use the tools given to us by the inventors of technology, who are certainly being creative sources of the Universe. It is exciting to become aware of more and more we didn’t know before. We start seeing our mental growth and can enjoy the fruits as we go through this adventure. Our awareness constantly grows and changes; it evolves and gives us a sense of comfort, security and peace of mind.

The willingness to embrace all aspects of life, being good or challenging, will further help and speed up your unfoldment. It is an ongoing series of action, never ending. You will take what you have developed and understood with you at the point of your passing to the next dimension. Do not forget this vital point. Remember, you have to start with YOU first. Entangle the world in love and happiness…
