Conversations with God

[knowthis]

I've just recently ordered all three books in this series by Neale Donald Walsch. I finished book one just a while a ago and wow what an impact it had on me. It was so inspirational, enlightening, provocative, useful, helpful and true to my personal experience. Has anyone here read any of his books? According to him he received these expressions of knowledge directly from God and was instructed to translate the material in to book form for those that are ready to read it. Whether or not you actually believe it is the actual word of God or not, it's still great stuff indeed. It's at times conceptually complex and other times profound and eloquent in it's simplicity. It provides detailed answers to typical everyday questions and scenarios that everyone encounters in life and wants to know why it is so? In one part that really moved me, God explained to the author why he was currently struggling so much with money. It explains the powerful effects of affirmations such as "I want money" or "I am in need of money" which are often misunderstood. These declarations are self-defeating as the universe gives you exactly what you're asking for. People would say, "then why don't I have more money"? And the answer can be partially found in the phrasing of your question. You're essentially telling the universe that you ARE in need of money, so that's exactly what you become, IN NEED OF MONEY. A more appropriate statement would be, "I have more money" or "my life will lead me to more money".

There are of course other factors involved as well including what is explained as "sponsoring thoughts" that are basically your underlying beliefs about yourself and life that precede and create your experience as you project them outward. Many people, based on societal standards believe that they are not deserving of more money or that money is "evil". The old black and white use of the terms "right' and "wrong" which only exist in relativity. You must first change these "sponsoring thoughts" or you're affirmations will never work. You're sending the universe mixed messages. In return your financial security will move in ebbs and flows in accordance to your root beliefs. It is also told that we tend to bring in to our lives that which we fear. Many people fear being poor or broke so that's exactly what you'll end up attracting unwittingly in to your life. What one should be doing is not feeding in to those thoughts, not allowing that reality to exist, for your feelings of poverty are subjective and based on perception anyway. How much money is "enough", "not enough" "a lot" or "too much"? Like the applied connotations of "right" and "wrong", it's also relative and therefore non-existent in terms of GOD. God also tells of the importance of thankfulness in gratitude in achieving the desired ends. This however works in a way different than most would believe because most give thanks but only AFTER the expectations are fulfilled. Jesus on the other hand, in his faith that his wishes and desires would be satisfied gave thanks BEFOREHAND in confidence and assurance of God's will to provide. Most people are afraid to do his because they don't wish to make God out to be a liar or inadequate IF their desires aren't eventually granted. In other words, they lack faith in the power of God and therefore this same sense of lack translates in to their personal lives.

God also explains that once we truly remember who we are, we will no longer seek, desire or find comfort in these worldly physical desires. Paradoxically, that's exactly the point in which you'll be most effective in bringing them to yourself should you choose. It's strange, you work so hard to achieve what you want and when you finally get to where you are able to manifest your desires, you find that what you were working so hard to attain ironically becomes no longer of value to you anymore. You'll feel so much unconditional, love and joy in this new state that these other things will become trivial. God even explains the potential dangers of this phase as many once attaining the joys of sprit begin to neglect the body seeing it as no longer important. God reminds that all areas are important as we are the trio of mind, body and sprit, all parts of equal and vital importance to your being. That was just a small part of the book explained in my own words but I really do recommend this book to all for reading from beginning to end. Again, I've only read book one so far but based on that, I don't expect that the others will disappoint.

Amazing how synchronicities seem to work. Not so long after starting this thread about evoking the power of God for self-empowerment, abundance, healing, happiness etc. I came across some material reinforcing this concept. Another author I'm very much interested in is Greg Braden who wrote a book called "Awakening to zero point" which is a bit hard to find, but nonetheless has generated some buzz in the new age community.

I first read about it at this site and the description right away pulled me right in.

www.crawford2000.co.uk/mag.htm

Even if we are able to keep the magnetic field together up until the actual shift, there will almost certainly be a three and a half day period when it will be completely gone. However, if you can manifest a Merkaba (not going to tell you what this is if you have not heard of it- do your own research - its fascinating), you have your own living time-space vehicle around your body; first of all to replace the magnetic field that has collapsed, and secondly to travel fully consciously from one dimension to another. As soon as the magnetic field collapses, the Earth may disappear for you, and you will be in the Great Void. The duration of this “bardo” will be three and a half days. (according to Gregg Braden in his Book "Awakening to Zero point - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). Then life will come back in the fourth dimensional world.

Book:


Anyhow, I haven't had a chance to read that book yet but after being prompted by the site referenced I did instead decide to pick up a 7 CD audio collection by Braden called "Beyond Zero Point" which is quite a fantastic recording.






So I was listening to disc 1 of "The Lost Mode Of Prayer" and Braden mentioned a story that tied in seamlessly with the teachings from the first book about the power of thought and how to apply it. I always approach these types of "theories" (I call it fact) with a healthy dose of skepticism and caution but what he said seemed to corroborate perfectly with what I had just learned in the Walsch book. It's these kinds of confirmations from unrelated sources that I intentionally look for in order to help substantiate a claim or claims. Here's one person's personal experience with a video that he talked about..

While I was at the Gregg Braden seminar in Portland, he showed a video from China, in a "medicineless hospital". A woman with an inoperable 3" bladder tumor was cured, ie her tumor disappeared in a matter of less than three minutes, while she and her "doctors" did this process to her, basically feeling she was already healthy. We saw it disappear in real time on an ultrasound monitor. This process can be used for anything.

So here is the process to make any wish, desire or dream come true:

1. Remember a time or event when you felt VERY happy, excited, or joyful.
2. Once you're in this high vibrational energy and feeling that happiness, excitement or joy again, THEN start thanking the Universe for having ALREADY provided your wish come true.
3. As you give thanks for your wish having already come true, imagine what this wish feels like, smells like, tastes like. What are you doing when this wish comes true? Who else is there? See and hear what is happening around you. Put in the details of your desire.
4. Remain in this high energy, feeling thankful that your wish has come true for a minimum of 17 seconds each time you do this (this is needed to combust the energy) and a total of at least 68 seconds per day (this is
the daily minimum needed to manifest your desire).
5. ALLOW your wish to come true. Whenever you hear any negative thoughts about your wish coming true, say out loud: "Cancel. Clear." Then substitute a positive thought like "Of course the Universe wants to bring me my wish!" Suspend your disbelief and allow your wish to come true. Remember we always create to the last thought. So if your last thought is that it won't happen, that's what you will create.

Two things to remember:

1. NEVER ASK for anything or say you need or want something. Those words indicate you lack it and you are only reinforcing the fact that you don't have it. Asking for anything implies it will arrive in the future, but you are never going to arrive in the future, as you're always in the
present moment. ALWAYS thank the Universe for having ALREADY provided it and feel that you have it in the present moment.

2. This process works best when it is something your heart truly desires, and not something you "should want" or that someone else wants for you. You must be aligned mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually with your goal or desire in order for it to manifest. Otherwise, you are sending the Universe mixed signals, and it doesn't know what you really want.

One thing I'd like to add is that according to Braden, the practitioners involved in the healing chanted repeatedly in Chinese "already done" which is important.

Here's some more information from the same link discussing another one of the discs called "The Isaiah Effect".

How to Create Anything, may all your dreams come true...
By Madeline Gerwick-Brodeur

This process is from The Isaiah dead sea scroll, and is an ancient technology that works miracles. If you want to learn more about it, read The Isaiah Effect by Gregg Braden. Basically, all possibilities already exist in various different timelines. The Universe, God, Goddess, etc has already answered all prayers and created all possibilities.

We activate the timeline we're living in through our thoughts and feelings. When we FEEL stressed, we create more stress. When we FEEL happy, we create more happiness. When we FEEL joyful about something now, even though it's in the future, we bring that future to us.

The Universal Law of Attraction states that we create MORE of whatever we focus on. If we want to create health, then the trick is to focus on health, imagining how good you feel, as though you are healthy right this minute. If we want to create money, then we need only thank God or the Universe for all the money we want flowing to us easily and effortlessly.

If we feel stressed over paying our bills, or feel like we don't have enough, we continue to create not having enough.

From what I gather the CD's from the collection are also in book form as well. I highly recommend them in either form! It's potentially life changing! I wouldn't have bothered with this post if I didn't truly believe it.
