I’m a sponge for enlightening information. I’ve been studying books like in the picture my whole life. Out of the womb my parents had me chanting the great law of Myoho, and by the time I was five years old I had excerpts of the Buddhist cannon the Lotus Sutra memorized in a Japanese tongue. Everything I am, including the consciousness to study I blame on the buddhas, hahaha, dont worry it’s a joyful blaming. I really don’t think I could have entered this life with a better system of thought and world view coming my way. Everything I study is filtered through my understanding of life and death and the mystic law of cause and effect, perhaps in contrast to more external views of the world. Even when I read the Bible sophomore year of college, my true spiritual understanding was deepened by my Buddhist education. It was no supernatural surprise when Jesus turned water into wine, the ability to turn anything from one state to another is the basis of all faith and also a fundamental scientific principal based on the laws of cause and effect. Of course the cause in faith is faith itself and the effect is manifestation of your desire. This is how the "secret" works, vision boards, affirmations etc.
I love using affirmations and have been doing it a long time. During Saturday nights group reading an affirmation came through for one of the participants. She has this amazing grandma who always makes her presence know by having me feel like fire, and then immediately like water. When the grandma was young her house burned down and then a few years later she almost drowned in the water. I feel like this grandma is still way alive and guiding this particular person. Anyway this participant had applied for a job that would allow her to re-locate to a city that she has always wanted to live. I kept hearing that she would get this job and she kept replying "well, we will see if i do". This is a fine response but spirit was determined to convince her that it was within her reach and not being determined by some outside forces, that the only outside assistance was from this grandma trying to get this women to move. So i said to her "not IF, but DO" "Do what?' She asked, "Do get this job, no matter what" i encouraged her to write this down every morning over and over again until she got this job. The affirmation was a command "Do" "DO" "Do", get this job. I fully expect her to get it, but i also know that its clear that this recipient is powerful enough to also keep it at bay. I know that this is true of myself and i know that some of my prayers absolutely could have been answered forever ago, but i was stuck in the wondering state, not getting i already had it.
Here is a favorite affirmation that i have used for years, its from Doreen Virtue card. "Thank you so much for helping me focus completely on joy and my desire for divine love, i am so grateful that all my needs are so carefully addressed instantly.". Another favorite of mine is Catherine Ponder, a true spiritual revolutionist. "I have a perfect job with perfect pay and i render a wonderful service in a wonderful way." Of course Louise Hay is a Queen among Queen and her affirmations for physical wellbeing are so powerful. I've been healing my life with her words since I was fifteen years old. The bottom line her is that training your mind is up to you. What you read and what you fill your eyes and ears and heart and voice with are under your control. Maybe today just a simple affirmation will do, "be happy" over and over and over again until not one thought of doubt or sadness would dare interrupt the peace you feel.
Happy Tuesday, 💕Leisa
