8-25-19 – MANIFESTING THE BREATH OF LIFE: Embracing the Transition from Living Soul to Life-Giving Spirit, Part III

Today’s Notes:

“Do not be habitually worried, anxious or overly concerned about anything! On the contrary, in everything, and within every situation, by thinking and speaking toward having goodness and having things go well and with ease (or in prayer) and in expression of need – together with thanksgiving – repeatedly let your requests be made known to (toward; face to face with) God.”
(Philippians 4:6 – JMNT)

8-11-19 – MANIFESTING THE BREATH OF LIFE: Embracing the Transition from Living Soul to Life-Giving Spirit, Part I

Today’s Notes:

I – “But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.
All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies, but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
(I Corinthians 15:35-45 – NKJV)

II – “Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh

III – “If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.” ― Amit Ray

IV – “Observe your own body. It breathes. You breathe when you are asleep, when you are no longer conscious of your own ideas of self-identity. Who, then, is breathing? The collection of information that you mistakenly think is you is not the main protagonist in this drama called the breath. In fact, you are not breathing; breath is naturally happening to you. You can purposely end your own life, but you cannot purposely keep your own life going. The expression, “My life” is actually an oxymoron, a result of ignorance and mistaken assumption. You don’t possess life; life expresses itself through you. Your body is a flower that life let bloom, a phenomenon created by life.”
― Ilchi Lee

7-28-19 – MEDITATION AND THE MIND OF CHRIST: Healing the Subconscious and Living as Spirits in the Material World, Part IV

Today’s Notes:
I – And He said to them, Do you not discern and understand this parable? How then is it possible for you to discern and understand all the parables?
(Mark 4:3 – AMPC)

II – “All of us have our own inner fears, beliefs, opinions. These inner assumptions rule and govern our lives. A suggestion has no power in and of itself. its power arises from the fact that you accept it mentally.”
― Joseph Murphy

III – Your subconscious mind controls all the viral processes of your body and knows the answer to all the problems. –The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

IV – Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality. –Earl Nightingale

V – The subconscious mind is more susceptible to influence by impulses of thought mixed with “feeling” or emotion, than by those originating solely in the reasoning portion of the mind. – Napolean Hill

VI – “Indeed, you are pleased with truth in the inner person, and you will teach me wisdom in my innermost parts.”
(Psalms 51:6 – ISV)

VII – Your subconscious mind controls all the vital processes of your body. It already knows the answers to your problems and it already knows how to heal you. – Dr. Jill Carnahan

7-21-19 – MEDITATION AND THE MIND OF CHRIST: Healing the Subconscious and Living as Spirits in the Material World

Today’s Notes:

I – “Now, may the God of peace and harmony set you apart, making you completely holy. And may your entire being—spirit, soul, and body—be kept completely flawless in the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.”
(I Thessalonians 5:23 – TPT)

II – “For we have the living Word of God, which is full of energy, and it pierces more sharply than a two-edged sword. It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet! It interprets and reveals the true thoughts and secret motives of our hearts.”
(Hebrews 4:12 – TPT)

III – “For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.”
(Hebrews 4:12 – AMPC)

IV – “The conscious is personal and selective; the subconscious is impersonal and non-selective. The conscious is the realm of effect; the subconscious is the realm of cause. These two aspects are the male and female divisions of consciousness. The conscious is male; the subconscious is female. The conscious generates ideas and impresses these ideas on the subconscious; the subconscious receives ideas and gives form and expression to them. By this law – first conceiving an idea and then impressing the idea conceived on the subconscious – all things evolve out of consciousness; and without this sequence, there is not anything made that is made. The conscious impresses the subconscious, while the subconscious expresses all that is impressed upon it. The subconscious does not originate ideas, but accepts as true those which the conscious mind feels to be true and, in a way known only to itself, objectifies the accepted ideas.
Therefore, through his power to imagine and feel and his freedom to choose the idea he will entertain, man has control over creation. Control of the subconscious is accomplished through control of your ideas and feelings. The mechanism of creation is hidden in the very depth of the subconscious, the female aspect or womb of creation. The subconscious transcends reason and is independent of induction. It contemplates a feeling as a fact existing within itself and on this assumption proceeds to give expression to it. The creative process begins with an idea and its cycle runs its course as a feeling and ends in a volition to act.
Ideas are impressed on the subconscious through the medium of feeling. No idea can be impressed on the subconscious until it is felt, but once felt – be it good, bad or indifferent – it must be expressed. Feeling is the one and only medium through which ideas are conveyed to the subconscious.” – Neville Goddard

V – “Deep within, there is something profoundly known, not consciously, but subconsciously. A quiet truth, that is not a version of something, but an original knowing. What this, absolute, truth [identity] is may be none of our business…but it is there, guiding us along the path of greater becoming; a true awareness. It is so self-sustaining that our recognition of it is not required. We are offspring’s of such a powerfully divine force – Creator of all things known and unknown.”― T.F. Hodge

VI – “Your subconscious is a powerful and mysterious force which can either hold you back or help you move forward. Without its cooperation, your best goals will go unrealized; with its help, you are unbeatable.”― Jenny Davidow

VII – meme: The soul usually knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.

7-14-19 – MEDITATION AND THE MIND OF CHRIST: Healing the Subconscious and Living as Spirits in the Material World, Part II

Today’s Notes:
I – “The lamp of the Eternal illuminates the human spirit searching our most intimate thoughts.”
(Proverbs 20:27 – The Voice)

II – “The spirit of man [that factor in human personality which proceeds immediately from God] is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.”
(Proverbs 20:27 – AMPC)

III – “A lamp of Yahweh is the life breath of mankind, Searching all the chambers of the inner being.”
(Proverbs 20:27 – CLV)

IV – “As you sow in your subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment.”
― Joseph Murphy

V – “But still, You long to enthrone truth throughout my being; in unseen places deep within me, You show me wisdom.”
(Psalms 51:6 – The Voice)

VI – “The relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind follows the principle of mental gender. Understanding the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind is the whole secret to understanding the relationship between male and female. The reverse is also true.
The conscious mind is the male, the leader and the subconscious mind is the female, the follower. The subconscious mind is a helper of the conscious mind. The more the workings of the conscious and subconscious minds are integrated, in sync, and in harmony, the more perfect the entire mind functions as a whole. The more creative and productive it becomes. The less harmony there is between the two, the more destructive it becomes, and the more it collapses and ceases to function properly.
It is not really your conscious thoughts that create your reality, but it is your subconscious beliefs. It is the subconscious mind, the feminine aspect of mind that is the creative faculty. Have you seen a man give birth? No. It’s only the woman that bears children. The conscious mind, the masculine aspect of mind conditions a thought into the subconscious mind in order to create a belief that manifests into reality. Like a seed that is impregnated into the womb, it is nurtured within and born as a child.” ― Noctis Enoch

VII – “In the solitude of meditation, when your conscious mind becomes quiet, your subconscious reveals herself.” ― Nityananda Das

For which of those works do you stone Me?” The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.” Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
(John 10:31-35 – NKJV)

6-16-19 – THE SIGNS AND WONDERS LIFESTYLE: Developing the Supernatural and Creating the Miraculous, Part III

Today’s Notes:
I – “But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
(Matthew 19:26 – NKJV)

II – Sometimes all you can do is NOT think, NOT wonder, NOT imagine, NOT obsess. Just breathe and have faith because miracles do happen.

III – “People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child—our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh

IV – “Never allow fear to keep you from creating your own miracle. There are unlimited options at your disposal for creating any magical experience safely if you access the wisdom of your heart and make the choice to walk in the light.”
― Molly Friedenfeld

V – “I do believe in an everyday sort of magic — the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.”
– Charles de Lint

VI –”Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
-Albert Einstein

VII – If you don’t believe in miracles, perhaps its because you’ve forgotten you are one.
