Thoughts For Today
May 2007

These messages are brought to You by Daily morning Meditations & Contemplation. Like taking dictation, I share with You what I
"Hear" And Read.
Each day a New Thought, a New Option, a New Hope.
The language used speaks "between the Lines" so to speak, which shows You something "Mentally" And "Spiritually".
These messages are "encoded" and will speak to You personally. They are available to You on a daily basis and are delivered to Your e-mail address Free, by requesting to be put on our mailing list at ... eia17@midtel.net
Below is the Present Day's message and the previous days message, and so on ...

Practice! Practice! Practice!
When You were born, You were wobbly like Jell-O ...
You couldn't walk or stand on Your own.
In order to Walk ...
You had to Practice! Practice! Practice!
Then it became "Automatic".
If You wanted to Learn How to ride a bike, skate, etc.,
or How to play the piano, violin, harmonica, etc.,
You had to Practice! Practice! Practice!
Then it became "Automatic".
You are now being Taught How to Use Your Mind & Heart in Asking for something, Anything, and Receiving It in Surprising ways
by Practice! Practice! Practice!
It Will become "Automatic".
When something, anything, shows up in Your Life that really bums You Out, it is an Opportunity to Ask!
It's How You Practice!
But You have to Conceive the "Idea" first of What You want.
Then Imagine it Often.
"Put Your order In"
Ask.
Practice! Practice! Practice Asking for What You'd like to Experience Often, so that You can Experience the Joy & Surprise in Receiving what-ever Your Heart desires.
God Loves Ya kid.
Don't be stubborn.
Ask.
"He who doesn't speak, God doesn't hear"

Remember Your "School Days"?
13 Years is the Minimum Requirement.
Some went on to "fine-tune" Their "Gifts", others went right into the field of "the Real world", and some became Parents.
-We each Chose which path We individually would take-
None of Us tried to "change" which path our "Acquaintances, friends, and family would take. We were just sad at the "parting of the Ways", with certain people, but at the same time Excited about being Freed from the dramas of High School.
-We felt a Freedom to do Our own thing-
We are Not just Students in The School of Earth ...
We Are Explorers.
(Explore - to Investigate systematically (years); "examine (explore Every Possibility) for the purpose of Discovery!) (Explorer - one who Explores a certain geographic area.)
We are Wondrous Spiritual Beings who are Children of a Benevolent Loving God ...
the Universe.
We "Leave Home" just before We are birthed Here.
"Welcome to Earth and a "slap on the butt" is the first thing You Experience!
Nice Welcome ah?
Hey, but You Survive.
You Live & Grow, You Laugh and You Cry,
now "You must be on about Your Father's business" ...
to Explore You.
-How Tough can You Be?
-How Angry can You get?
-How Lovable can You Be when something Touches Your Heart?
-How much can You Cry?
-How Hard can You Laugh when someone really tickles Your "funny-bone"?
-How sneaky can You be when You want to "hide" something?
-How Clever can You be in "finding an Answer"?
What good is it to gain all power without Compassion And Appreciation?
Live Your Journeys here with Dignity and Lots of Laughter,
Do the Best You Can with Your Hopes, Wishes & Dreams tucked safely under Your Arms.
Ask, and It Shall Be Given.
Cherish Time Alone With Yourself to dream the Dream Ahead of Time.
What You Think about - Comes About in Surprising Ways!

LYRICS
"Hand In My Pocket"
I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
And what it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine."
Everything Changes ... Nothing stays the same.
-Nothing-

Ever take Pictures or Video of something Memorable?
We All have.
When someone is sick, hurt, or dying, We don't normally take pictures do We? People don't want to be seen or remembered when They were in ill health.
Deep within We Know that this is not a State of Being that We wish to give attention to.
"What You Think about, comes about And Grows"
Whatever You Focus a Camera on -Will produce a Picture.
Whatever You Focus Your Thoughts on -Will produce an Experience.
If You want to take a picture of say a Beautiful Flower, You don't focus the camera on a weed do You? cause if You do,
You'll get a picture of a Weed, yet a Beautiful Flower Was Available.
If You want to Experience Joy and wonderful surprises in Life ...
Focus on the Joys that You presently enjoy.
Look for Them, Take the Pictures, and Experience More of Them.
Life Is Bountiful and offers You the Good & the Bad just like a camera.
It's up to You What "pictures" You're aiming Your Attention to.
What are You Focusing On?
If it doesn't feel good ...
take Different "Pictures"!

Mother Earth is Active once more with all kinds of
New Births springing Up Everywhere!
Birds are busy preparing their "nests" to Receive their "New-borns".
Remember all those Hopes & Dreams,
the little wishes as well as the Big Wishes that You "conceived"?
-Watch for their Arrivals!-
-Prepare to Receive-
In the same way that No one can predict the exact Time of Day,
or Where a "Birth" will take place ...
so too will Your "Births" be unexpected.
-No obstacle is too big to be Moved when You Ask God to Strengthen You-

Ever "jump rope" or see a child jumping rope?
In each hand is held one side of the same rope.
You then swing the rope over Your head and when it's at Your feet,
You Jump Over It!
Sometimes, the rope trips You,
and ya gotta start all over again.
Ya gotta get into the groove.

Ever "double-Dutch jump rope" or see children jumping double-Dutch?
In each hand of two people is held one side of two ropes.
You then swing each rope over the head of a third person and when it's at their feet,
They Jump Over Both of them!
Now that's Agility.
(Agile - Able to move in a quick and easy fashion. Mentally Alert.)

Now make believe that that rope is a string of Thoughts that
come into Your Head and down to Your feet, like negative Thoughts about anything.
Either You can Jump-over negative Thoughts and Replace them with Positive Thoughts before You trip over them, and ya gotta start all over again to get into the groove ...
or You can "double-Dutch" in the middle of Life balancing positives & negatives
while still having fun.
Don't let negative Thoughts trip You.
Jump over them with Positive Thoughts so that You can
continue to Jump for Joy!

There is nothing than can Empower Thoughts more than ...
Emotion.
(Emotion - a Complex and usually Strong subjective response, as Love Or Fear. Such a response involving Physiological Changes as a Preparation for Action. The part of the Consciousness that involves Feeling or Sensibility.)
Notice Emotion, or How You Feel has Only 2 Choices ...
Love Or Fear.
Either You Feel Good, Or You Feel bad.
The Law of Gravity doesn't care if You're in a Happy mood, or a sad mood, the Law of Gravity still works to magnetize You on the Earth so that You won't fly off into space.
The Law of Attraction doesn't care if You're in a Happy mood, or a sad mood, the Law of Attraction still works to Bring You More Thoughts & Feelings about What You are Thinking about.
Sometimes, We have too many "pity parties" for Ourselves,
and that's o.k. as long as You end them quickly.
It's a Lot More Fun to notice little things here and there that bring a
Smile of Appreciation to Your Face.
Wanna know if You're on track with Well-Being?
It's a Yes or No Answer.
Put on a Happy Face and You Will Attract
More & More Happy Faces including Yours!
-You Attract It All-

"Be very careful if You make a woman cry,
because God counts her tears.
The woman came out of a man's rib.
Not from his feet to be walked on.
Not from his head to be
superior, but
from the side to be equal.
Under the arm to be
Protected, and next to the Heart to be
Loved."
(The Hebrew Talmad)
Where would We all be without Mothers?
Human Babies are unable to care for themselves for Several Years,
so whether You liked Your Mother or Not,
Without Her - You Would Not Be Here.
In the same way that You Thank God for all Your Blessings,
Thank Your Mother in Spirit or Physically for
Giving You the chance to Shine for God!
Happy Mother's Day to all those Moms who by their own sacrifice of body & pain gave each of Us a chance to Live Life to it's fullest.
God also counts the tears of Joy that You Give Her.

Campfires are such neat Fun!
Ever roast a Marshmallow or a Hot dog on a stick?
Umm, those were the "good old days" and a Fire that was Enjoyed.
Ya just felt really, really Good Inside.
On the other-side of this "coin" - instead of "roasting" a Marshmallow or a Hot dog,
You "roast" someone that You're arguing with. And -
the One who is arguing with You is "roasting" You!
The more You exchange words with Anger behind them ...
the Bigger The Fire Grows!
Now it starts to "Burn You".
Each time You engage in an argument that is definitely going no-where ...
it's like adding more wood to the Fire.
By the Law of Attraction You Will continue to Argue with each other for "ever".
Stop adding wood to the fire!
-You Can't fight Fire with Fire-
-Only "water" will extinguish it-
Water is akin to Our Emotions.
On one side of the "coin" You have Angry Feelings.
And boy they can be pretty nasty when Someone really pisses You off!
On the other side of the "coin" You have Powerful Loving Feelings.
And boy they can be pretty awesome when Someone really touches Your Heart.
The Law of Attraction Cannot be Ignored anymore than the Law of Gravity.
They just Are.
Put Out Fires before they get out of hand.
Speak from Your Heart, and if they still won't hear You ...
"Shake the sand out of Your sandals, and be on Your way."
There are too many neat things to Think about & Attract when You start
Seeing & Feeling with Your Heart.
Which side of the "coin" are You gonna choose?
Ego Or Wisdom?
(The proof is in the pudding)

Is there Enough?
"If Everybody is able to have What-ever They Desire and Each one starts using The Law of Attraction to Themselves, How can there be Enough to go around?"
This was the question to Me from My 42 year old son.
In the Physical world We Judge things by their "Outer-Appearances".
We don't even notice the Cells, the Atoms, and the Energy that Brings Things Into Manifestation for You to Experience.
Kinda like a Master Painting or Sculpture, We only See the Actual "Work of Art".
Yet the "Artist" is indeed the true Master,
cause it was His Energy that Created the Painting or Sculpture.
It first started Within Him/Her with a Thought.
When You look Deeper and really See through the Microscope of the Universe ...
You'll See that Everything is Energy at It's Core!
Is there Enough Air for Everyone to Breathe without having to
"take-it" from Someone else?
Absolutely!
Energy is like the Air You Breathe ...
it is used by all and is concentrated Within Each & Everyone of Us.
If You're Alive on Earth ...
Ya got It too!
Not Everyone wants the same "thing" when You get to the Core of
What each Person really Wants.
Each One is really Different.
That's the Beauty of Creation.
You have only to Look At Nature and See How Very, Very Generous Life Is both on the land, and under the sea.
It's How We Expand Life.
Do Your thing!
Stop looking over Your shoulder to see what Others are doin' with Their Lives.
You are a "Diamond in the rough" ...
Chisel Your Life to Shine More.
Is there Enough to go-around?
You bet there Is!
-Breathe Deeply & Do Your thing-

(Rebecca J. Burns)
We "Fight" for everything We Don't want,
but Remember, "What You resist ... Persists."
Focusing on What You Don't want Gives Energy to it,
and by The Law of Attraction,
You Will Attract More of What You Don't want.
It's o.k. to "Notice" what You Don't want cause it
Inspires You to Ask for What You Do want.
You can't really enjoy an Ice Cold glass of Water
unless You're Thirsty First!
What are You Thirsty For?
Need is The Mother of All Inventions, Hopes & Dreams.
Need is but the other-side of Having.
Tip the scales in Your favor ...
Focus on What You want.

When You plan a "Trip"- the First thing You have to Decide Is ...
"Where Do You Want To Go?"
Notice Who makes That Decision.
YOU DO.
Second thing You have to Decide Is ...
"How Do You Want To Get There?"
By Plane, by Car, by Bus or Train, or on Foot?
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!
Yet We make Millions of Decisions through-out Our Lives.
Which ever Way You Choose to get to Your "Destination" Will Get You There.
It's All a matter of Choice.
No Judgement.
Choice.
Either You Choose to Feel Good about Your Choice of "Destination"
and Look Forward to It with Excitement,
or You can get Anxious Thinking about all the things that
Could go wrong and Not Get "There".
So too is it with the Choice of Hope or Doubt in
Everything You Think About.
No Judgement.
Just Choice.
What You Think About, Comes About.
Wanna Fly?
Stay High on ...
"All Things Are Possible"
cause they Are!
All Things!
