Start and End the Day with God
Transcript
how to start and end the day with God this is so beautiful so so really do your best to drop into this concept we're gonna talk about starting our day continuing our day and ending our day with God I mean what could be better now we've all heard this term I am the Alpha and Omega right what does that mean in translation the beginning and the end so is it possible that I am the Alpha and Omega beginning in the end is also advise to start and end each day with God if God is the Alpha and Omega then God is the beginning supposed to be the
beginning of your day and the end of your day is that making sense just plug in man this is about God secondary things human stuff even bills to pay ridiculous stuff like gossip no God first God last and God throughout and to say God first and last and throughout it means staying connected but it doesn't mean literally praying and meditating 24/7 Jesus says in A Course in Miracles that would be impractical you know it's like I was in the middle of them reciting something and you forgot to pick up the kids today at school you
know now they're at school going on you're wishing they had a different parent you know so it needs to be practical but God God start the day with God there's a couple of quotes from the course I'm gonna share with you I think are really really beautiful but if you don't start an end your day with God that's called having false gods before you before God that's false idols and I know it sounds like strong languaging guys listen it's supposed to be God is my first and foremost thought that's my
backup I heard some gossip God is my backup what is the righteous God choice today - ooh - gossip - not gossip to listen to gossip to not listen to gossip when you listen to gossip you're still making a choice why am i hearing this why did I create hearing this why am i believing it and then what actions I'm gonna take on it that's me it's not my fault they said it no why did you even attract hearing it and why did you believe it well they said it was true you still chose to believe it you took you know you took it you you you
you bit into the the poison there drank from the poison so it's supposed to be God first even when someone says to you why are you divorcing we don't do that in our religion we don't do that in our family why are you listening to that God first I shared a story once before here but I had a gal I met on a plane and it was interesting because she was telling me a heart kind of wrenching story about how she was married to a physically abusive guy but staying married because it was her religion but worse than that
her father was the pastor of her church so she had religion and daddy saying we don't do that that's against our religion so she stayed married remaining physically abused because God would not want that wait I thought you said it was your dad that said no well but God says where do you I'm sorry where but you lost me you know see how are you hearing that God does not tell you this or that or tells you this or that where are you hearing that I mean you can you can try and go to the Old Testament and so forth
you can even go to the New Testament things don't make sense sometimes when they say them they'll tell you things Jesus said and Jesus is like I never said that you know they tell you a woman if she puts on makeup should be stoned to death you want to try that one it's it's it's not it's not true somebody mistranslated but even if it were true it was true for the people of that time you know you know and I've made jokes about that you know put on makeup get stoned I said there was a mistranslation what it was
was get stoned and then put on some makeup anything now you're gonna be out there I heard Michael believes in getting stoned and putting on makeup so yeah Michael said you know we even heard it so yeah so God first it tells you see the people were all wanting to stone a couple of different women to death who were caught in so-called prostitution wait weren't the guys there - yeah they were heard but the women are get he said if nothing of this makes sense but but Jesus is sitting there saying you know wait now he didn't just
blatantly call them out and say no and start an argument he said you know yeah you know that's what you guys doing you know we're starting her she was caught in prostitution you're kidding oh that's just terrible what do you think we should do Jesus you know I think anybody who's clear enough who can actually say they're clear enough to discern that they've done naughty things absolutely step up and throw the first stone but none of them could do it and it didn't help that as
they walked over to him they noticed he was writing in the sand you know in the dirt and so they started looking and he was starting to write the things that each of them had been doing and some people think it might have been that they stole or they did this and for all you know he was writing which day they were with her you know last Thursday no you know he was showing them yoga Donna's daily calendar mm-hmm you know but they couldn't they couldn't take action which actually made them mad at him how dare you unplug us from
acting out our games are abuses people don't like that but we have to take responsibility for our lives guys start continuing end the day in the light of God but yet it doesn't mean you have to look holy sound holy speak only in a whispering voice it doesn't mean externally Jesus says in A Course in Miracles the teachers of God do and I don't mean teacher teacher I mean just those of us who are light workers teachers of God do not necessarily look that much different generally speaking it's something happening different on
the inside it's not that you you know and people take this stuff seriously and they think well I'm getting in touch with God now so I need to speak all whispery and so it doesn't make any sense you know just be yourself for all you know you should be the one going yes instead of yes you know it's okay to hmm I've had this it so known is an interesting place because he got its spirituality coming in every direction but I had a cable guy come to my house a cable guy and he's been there a couple
of times and I let him in usually show him where that and I go to back to my computer work but this time I could tell he was kind of please please you know give me some time and I thought now I really check in I like to be appropriate so I'm like well this is weird because it seems like he's calling for my help God all morning throughout and end of the day so how can I make a difference in this person's life I don't know what he's asking for but he's clearly pulling on me to spend some time so I'm like so
and he goes well so so do you believe in Jesus yeah but is the cable fix no you know but if I am into Jesus can i watch watch anything on TV about him you know um but I was cautious and he kept but where do you you know worship and what do you believe in do you believe in this and I'm thinking this is like surreal you know and it's like okay sure you know and then I engage a little bit he goes is this is this okay cuz and the guy was like this is this okay because I really believe in and and I realized wow
okay I need to breathe because this is what we're doing today you know this is what's before me today and you think that's easy you know because it's spiritual but I still measure and check in how much should I say how much should I not say see you don't just jump to it so one of the things he shared with me was I like telling people I like telling people about Jesus that they need to accept Jesus and and he's and I said dude is that what God is telling you to do well no I just believe it if you're
not hearing the guidance to do that maybe there's days you should be in it like your being and maybe there's days you should be tempered a little bit you see and then he's saying you know you start cell like my wife she's all and you know let people come to you you don't have to and I'm saying she's right you know sometimes sometimes do this and sometimes that sometimes a little right he said well what do you do how do you tell people aren't you like involved with teachers and you know teachings and
out there yeah and he said well how do you how do you do this with people I said I try to listen and see what's being guided in any given moment well then what kind of teacher are you if you're a preacher are you if you don't just I said dude you you're you're working on hearts you're supposed to be making a difference in here if you make them mad at God because you blast them with it you haven't actually helped people and that's important for you to watch you know so he heard me and it was
really it it wasn't confrontational it ended up and continued to be very beautiful but as I said to him you start the day with God saying Here I am but that means not Here I am and I'll let you know what I want you to do you're not calling in God as an employee you know you're saying wait let me get this clear how would I serve today guide me what would you have me do and not do and so this this very beautiful thing starts to come through us we start to notice you know that person over there just needs me to help pick them up when
they fallen I don't have to say and as I'm picking up do you believe in Jesus as your personal Savior it's you know I don't need to give you any any preaches or teaches and it's like just how can I be helpful and when you've done a demonstration through the day when you've done a demonstration of goodness you're being the presence of God in the world that's how you stay connected one of the ways to stay connected is in the mind just continue to call it in hey God listen I'm sitting at a stop sign you
know waiting for the light to change or whatever just calling your presence in it could just be a few seconds that's one way to do it another way is action just healthy loving random acts of kindness we have to recognize you know it's it's when I say I'm going to start my day with God and someone hits me with gossip or News tells me of a tragedy or whatever else understand those things have now gotten my attention possibly right and what I'm saying is if you take that scripture to heart and it's amazing
God's the Alpha and Omega but right now I'm thinking about something else if God is my Alpha and Omega and and I'm supposed to be dedicating my day that life you know and evening to God but something else has distracted me it's therefore called a false idol false gods you've allowed the daily concerns of the world and we all do that the daily concerns of the world to upset you I heard this and this on the news and what about that and you know you buy a car and somebody says oh I heard the
insurance is terrible on that everybody's got opinions they're gonna tell you something about your car that you got you'd be happy about your car you know you have children and people say Oh God you've got children huh you know and it don't make negatives out of anything and it's important for us to ask ourselves well why am i what what is allowing people to think that I'm interested in that and believe it or not it's our own doubts sometimes mirrored back to us it's our own weak spots that these
people can sense and start going after the more and it comes down to this the more you have an identity in God the more you know who you are the less people will realize that the less people will think that they can penetrate that force field this is what we call in part the armor of the Lord it means my my aura my force field my energy I'm very clear about Who I am the clearer you are the more people will know don't even bother telling them gossip or making them doubt themselves about whatever they're doing they'll sense
that you're just clear so we start our day with God we continue our day with God and we end our day with God again actions do that but also practical steps start the day with God by calling in that presence as a feeling don't say dear God be with me or God do this or God do that call in its presence feel the presence of God feel it what is God to you well God's peace good then call in a feeling don't say peace peace peace with a rote kind of thing in your head call it in like a feeling and when you're done
calling it in for a couple of minutes then visualize yourself actually feeling that get your brain to say hey what are we doing we're going over here we're going into a peace school come with me brain okay and it goes over and you say we're now going to program you brain neurons and so forth we're going to program you with something new instead of oh my god oh my god like what stuff of the day it's tranquility you're meditating is what it's called prayer and meditation can be and should be
simple but it's a few minutes of communing with God you're calling and you're not hoping for wishing for your calling in that presence that's how simple it can be and you're letting that presence descend into your your your body or being your mind but you're also imagining feeling it so you actually kind of hmm you know kind of try it on a little bit like what would peace feel like and you're overriding the stuff of the world that tends to make you anxious and you're saying not today today we're
doing this we're doing calm or doing Center there we go it's called waking up on the right side of your head okay start the day as soon as possible connecting with God just simple you know it's not a twitch which Sanskrit mantra you need to memorize a word or two that's all like peace and happiness or love and self-worth call in that presence do your best to visualize feeling that presence imagine living that presence in all areas of your life so in other words I don't just say peace peace peace I
also imagine what would a peaceful person look like as a parent or as an employee or as of whatever I happen to do in my life I literally imagine being that thing the God feeling in my day-to-day life and you know what's Happ there I'm actually programming it into the matrix of life instead of it being a distant thing dear God if you if you have any love for me whatsoever I wish that you would send me a such and such and I hope it comes to pass I mean that's that's like making God into a like a a horrible Santa Claus that might
or might not bringing me gifts this year instead when I'm centered in a God feeling you would almost have to work to keep good from coming to you because when you're centered in God and God is good Goods gonna come to you peace is gonna bring a little easier tendency towards forgiving because I'm calling in peace peace is going to mean I have less stress I don't even have to pray for illnesses to be cured now because I'm calling in the presence of God and in God there's no illness see what I'm
saying that's called seeking first the consciousness or kingdom of God bring that presence in you know and it you're gonna strain we're all gonna stray but how far do you let yourself straight that's up to you that's not your angels fault it's not Jesus's fault and it's not your parents fault if I stray I have allowed myself to stray therefore it's also up to me to get back steer myself back to center how in split seconds in split seconds well not me it takes me hours and well here's what happens if
you don't stay if you don't get into alignment with God and stay into alignment with God you're more likely gonna stray obviously into the gods of the world issues and challenges of the world they will pre occupy your mind instead of God that doesn't even sound like a good idea but that's what's going to happen and it's true that if you stray it can actually take you years to bounce back in some instances if you don't know how your brains gonna hold yourself responsible for going way over
here or way over here in life karma whatever like it like even dietarily you go way over here and then it's gonna be harder to get back to center so what we do is we say okay we see ourselves Strang catch yourself as soon as possible and come back but when I say come back meaning what plug in guys just simply I see what happened I own it I strayed for a moment no big fanfare I get it I get it and I own it and now I'm giving that decision to you God that I made and I'm asking for a new one I'm choosing you instead
of whatever I was just doing I was starting to doubt about my soul's purpose I have reasons and tangibles and everybody told me I'm wrong for my soul's purpose and wanting my soul's purpose all my whole family you could make a list of all the reasons you stray it's still gonna come back to you what do you want to do about it I'm gonna take all their voices and all those stories and everything they said and give it to you God and what I want and choose instead remember choose something
else instead if you don't choose it using exercising your power of will and choice then you won't get anything different you'll be running on automatically you'll be running on the old program so you have to say I get it I'm surrendering it and I'm choosing something else what is this something else oh I'd like peace and happiness instead I mean you just set a restaurant you ordered something you went you could I get something else instead I mean it you can do it there I hope well we can
do that spiritually this this meal does not make sense so I would like something different I chose this and now I'm gonna choose that here's a quote from Course in Miracles those who hope but this one's from the Bible first those who hope in the Lord or live in communion with God like I'm describing will live with renewed strength they will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not grow faint meaning when you're plugged in you're carried by something else
you really are it gives you like a greater immunity it gives you greater resistance to all kinds of things it gives you greater center strength it gives you more confidence in what you do and say because you're plugged into Center start your day centered in God throughout the day recalibrate back to Center and end your day with God so from A Course in Miracles a new beginning can be reached but it depends on your willingness to practice this you can create a new life but you've got to have the will to practice each step will help every
time it's practiced at first these will seem like mere ideas but eventually they will become positive habits and then it'll become a way of life and tools for better living we need not become obsessed with each step but the proper set of things like exercises techniques adopted consciously each time that you wake will be put will be putting you well ahead what he's saying there is you really only need to practice a couple of things that are real that work to implement them and they'll become your new way of
consciousness they'll just become your way does that make sense they don't become things you have to do it's like now you just go I can't imagine doing anything else and it's not complicated I'm not talking about five hours I'm talking about five minutes start your day calling in that presence if you have anything else on your mind what you should do is first own you have something else like fear worry and see it own it give it up then start the refilling call in the peace the happiness the joy of God call it in call
it in then imagine feeling it in every air of your life including right now imagine feeling that and then give thanks and you've started the day with God I mean it really should take five minutes when I said breathe that in I don't mean once you might want to do it a couple dozen times then imagine for a minute or two Wow this is how this looks this is how this feels we had our we always have our praying in the morning where our chaplains get in a circle in the bookstore and they get together into prayer and our daily
chaplain Jeff led that this morning and I just made it a point you know I asked him if he would lead and he led and and there was a moment where I just thought this is so great because I'm not hearing just his words I'm feeling and experiencing the words but also the intention of the prayer I was tapping into his desire to connect us with God just tapping into his feeling brought me there and I could just feel that you know like just beautiful the wave you know getting into that connectedness and you know and
you know do I know whatever else I mean a smoker drink out you know you get into gossip and say but did you know the guy's smokes or whatever and the other don't think he does but I'm just telling you you could get in your head and make things wrong with yourself or others find God and connect with God and let the little stuff fall away all that matters is God your prayer your meditation time I call it communion when you combine prayer and meditation I call it communion because there's less being
done in words and less being done in efforting meditation like some are very much effort and I just bring them together and I say let me let my words that I would say become simply my intention and let what would have been meditation simply become the receiving you see what I mean by that so it's like a prayer a wave a prayer a meditation a prayer a meditation and it becomes communion yes I'm there I'm feeling that presence then I imagine it so and I give thanks starting the day throughout the day in just seconds I can always go ups
let me get back to my peace peace no just say the words imagine you know peace peace tranquility it's okay but but but I know I know calm down Center and God because if there is a challenge your ability to deal with it would be much more successful if you were centered in God so Center instead of going well as soon as I get done with this issue I'm gonna get around to settle it Center into God send her into God and you'll get the solutions you're looking for so we do that and give thanks that's throughout the day at the
end of the day remember basically to say okay how was my day today well here are some areas where I plugged in nice job and here are some areas where I ups I slept then Center into your word again and imagine if you slipped how might that be done differently next time well today so-and-so called and I got so upset and I hung up great don't worry about that how would you do it differently next time well I probably would try to be more patient and I would word it like this great see what you're doing you're reprogramming something
where you slipped you're reprogramming it I'm not saying you fixed it in the mind of the other person yet you may have because that's how miracles work but corrected in your own mind and then that will make a difference in their mind it'll make a difference in everybody's mind cuz we're all connected so keep this in mind throughout the day reconnect end the day where did I strike see it being corrected and then come back to that piece again and remember close your day with the last do one
thing you want to think about is I rest in God kind of like saying I'm gonna surrender my sleep time to God and go into sleep we take anxieties and worries into sleep and have bad dreams it's called but your dream world is part of your awake world to the nightmares the fears you have when you go to sleep are going to be part of your reality tomorrow because they're connected so go into sleep saying you know what I rest in God and imagine that beautiful I deserve to be able to just drop in and fall asleep I'm a child of God you guys
you know we love seeing pictures oh there's this meme that was put on my Facebook page it was so cute wonderful it showed the arms of God cradling a little child and that's supposed to be you to you're supposed to go instead of oh isn't that cute what about you can you be cradled picture it picture I deserve them lying in bed and I'm just melting into the bed and there's a warmth there's a presence you know Edgar Cayce said when you do he used to talk about castor oil packs castor oil on flannel cloth over wounded
areas that it helps heal them but he didn't say just say slop it on stick it on you're good to go he said visualize they healing hands of Christ because the castor oils latin name is palma christi which means the hands of christ so he says picture the hands of he said about your foods he said whatever you're ingesting sure it doing whatever you want it to do so you know you can eat whatever and imagine this is being nutritious for you I've always believed that but still when I prayed with my kids when they were
little we used to say something along the lines I'd say them but to them you know in our in our meal prayer and let these let these foods bring us all the Newton nutrition we're looking for something along those lines in other words let this food have all that we need to sustain us in other words it's in our minds I'm not saying food is good or bad at this foods good and that one's bad whatever we were eating we were still affirming that it has what we need what we believe our body needs and
surrender that it's all in the mind last couple of weeks we've been talking about how everything is in the mind right and how we can change our lives by changing our consciousness so the last couple things I want to share this this last quote that I shared from the course though so important to remember and paraphrasing part of what that was saying he says in the course you can spend hours attempting to pray and meditate and get nowhere you can also just devote a couple of minutes and experience God itself and that's part of
what I'm trying to get across please do not make complicated communion or connecting with spirit God is our source guys God is love and God is our Creator so why would we not want to be in touch more often with God more thoroughly with God but also more efficiently more effectively and easily this is our destiny and everybody's thinking about I can't wait to ascend and I can't wait to do this and that right now just do it right now be in the presence and not let stuff you know destroy connect with God
in the morning and evening but also throughout the day and so one of my last points guys when you have to make decisions hot because that's part of our day-to-day life how do you make decisions in your life well I just think about what's the best thing to do and a pressure of family or this or that or at work and we all have all kinds of false gods that help us make decisions which isn't very helpful at all so ask yourself this try this on think of your word or two that you would like to be in conscious
think of a feeling word a God feeling word such as love or peace or happiness or joy right a God feeling right imagine that's what I want to be then just ask yourself this any question you have to make a decision on ask yourself this does this decision bring me closer to being that thing that I want to be some people do this in corporate world does this get me into that CEO position but that's all still corporate and intellect just use somewhat the same principle what do you really want I want to be a
CEO no what do you want in consciousness peace think of a word guys blurt one out joy love bliss good compassion great now all you have to do based on today's talk in part is besides practicing is that in the morning during an end of the day even when you're making decisions because prayer and meditation applies this taking actions that are random acts of kindness will help get my day to be like God but third imagine in your decision-making how to bring God into this and here's what you do you'll say
okay you know God I need to know what you want me to do okay okay two out of three God you know and you're flipping coins to get God's guidance don't flip a coin don't flip a coin I see a lot of people making it too complicated just stop what is it you're wanting in here I just want happiness okay which decision before you is gonna get you closer to happiness and use that as your barometer it's really simple but profound because your heads going to tell you all kinds of things and everybody around you is gonna tell you
all kinds of things just stop and ask yourself that will bring that into meditation but your feeling during the day and when you when you've made decisions ask yourself how you're feeling and you feel if you feel off you might have made the wrong decision or you might have made the right one but carried into it too much angst or upset still and if I'm not feeling well in here I stop how can I release that in this moment because that's not that's not God's will so let's take a few centering breaths
please remember we want to make this practical simple but profound if I stand right now and start doing some channeling of a being from the 80th dimension people can go wow that was amazing but how did it change your ability to start and end your day with God if it didn't become something in you then it was just nice to watch it was just a curiosity but it's a sideshow if it doesn't change you so imagine that I say here and now that if I snap my finger you're all totally plugged in from now on you're plugged into whatever you've
ever seen in any teacher preacher author healer gurus and so on you can have that right now how every day start continuing and your day in God in your own way so right now imagine centering into a word or two that to you make sense it's a God feeling you get to choose it in some systems your teachers tell you what your words should be you get to choose it here what's your word what to you is a God feeling but something you would like in your life something you believe you could attain if you don't
believe you can attain it it's probably not a good word for you so pick one that seems applicable now hear that word or two on your inhale and when you exhale hear the words and so it is meaning it's accomplished and even though you did it just once you're still saying it's done and then do it again and let's do it a dozen times but every morning and night I would recommend a couple dozen times but fill up now continue not only hearing the words and and so it is visualize the light of God coming from the heavens
symbolically down through your head into your heart when you inhale like it's a gift from God itself when you inhale anchor it in your heart for a half a second and then let it wash over you on the exhale with and so it is it's like a drop of God consciousness every time you breathe that in you're getting another drop of God consciousness viscerally into your being relax your shoulders and allow it to happen feel confidently you know that this is happening feel confident that you're filling up at
first it's a drop the drop becomes a puddle the puddle becomes an ocean so fill up visualize it happening but also feel it what if your word is happiness then your body should start reflecting happiness relax your solar plexus if you're calling in joy there should be that natural sigh of happiness and joy when you breathe if your word is bliss or oneness immediately for me when I call that in I feel my my consciousness open up to the universe so make it happen feel it let it be that's all what I call filling up with
God part 2 now you visualize if I've got that in me if I truly do have more peace or happiness whatever picture it happening in your life right now picture being at work and carrying that energy with you how would you be different at work how would you be different in your parenting how would you be different in your partnership visualize those feelings in you in your day to day life and see how it changes what you do and sometimes it's beautiful you'll feel
inspired what about other people in your life that you know of that are challenged financially or emotionally let's go ahead and include them to picture them feeling you're not imposing it on them you're just simply sort of blessing them with that possibility imagine those people feeling you're feeling happiness prosperity how nice to just see them oh what a blessing instead of only thinking of them in the way you were told to think of them did you know they're sick and then you think of them
as constantly sick now you're projecting that energy onto them see them healthy see them the way God would see them and that's really what we're doing we're calling in the presence of God but also we're visualizing our lives to be as God would have it be viscerally part two is viscerally imagining all these great things and part three is to close and give thanks but before we do that the extra piece to our exercise you have a decision to make let's say it's one you made recently or
are in the middle of making or will be making whatever the case you have a decision to make instead of the tension around it just ask yourself if my words like peace and happiness are my main focus then which of my decisions would most resonate with that feeling of peace and happiness doesn't mean you're committing my body assault to go and do it yet but just try it out which brings me closer to that feeling living here or living there doing this or doing that try and be spontaneous with it but let it be organic
and then spend just a moment in your own way in your own words quietly giving thanks but when you do give thanks that what you're visualizing what you're doing is actually happening you're giving thanks in advance that this is already downloading effects into your life the universe is already moving and stirring and dancing to bring this work that you're doing into manifestation it's bringing the healthier decision the universe is helping you part the Red Sea and be able to see more clearly through
life stuff you're giving thanks that you're feeling you actually are feeling more peace or happiness and that what you blessed to others that's happening and they can feel it wherever they are that's called miracle working and so it is I pray this has made good sense start and end I mean really there can't be anything more important but it's okay if you think there are other things more important that just means I have idols some meditation instructors would tell you that when you close your eyes and
you're going to attempt to clear your mind anything that enters your mind on the way to silence would be like a false idol it would be a distraction doesn't mean you're bad it just means all the stuff the monkey mind I'm totally totally gonna meditate right now oh you know it's all really cool we're doing all the techniques and then now I'm gonna sit silent and just be in the presence of God McDonald's and then I'm gonna just just center oh I can't wait to get to McDonald and lunch this
afternoon oh I've got some calls to make you're not meditating but you are even that's a distraction even though it's a drag that's very helpful for me because I just found out today here's what's more important than reaching my contact in God and you know people don't like to hear that I remember the first time I said that to a group of the thing it was 1986 in a meditation I was asked to lead a meditation at a center and I could just feel the bummer energy that goes across when I you know do you see those
things you know those are things that you currently are thinking or more important than God you know there was like yeah nobody wants to hear that but it's good for me to know that okay did it all make sense good good good job thank you all right in a moment we're gonna do our closing we're gonna have our love offering and before we bring out the baskets and all that and before you reach for donations just real quick I want to just tell you we had an amazing solstice festival yesterday you know those of you who were

called creating our day this one's called on rebuilding a new life and there's four talks in each one but one of the talks in this one is creating our day and talks in the other one connecting with God so those topics kind of covered today are on different CDs spirituality v or rebuilding a new life okay if you want to get those you mind giving this back to Rebecca thanks all right so while they're passing around the baskets which takes about a minute or two can anybody share what did you learn or hear today that made the most
sense yes yeah your phone becomes a distraction yep nice yeah nice you're untangling some of the distractions you're seeing more and more just do them as they come up very good anyone else what did you learn her here today that made the most sense or was most important for you yes choose again yeah reset Wow where am I going into that reset it can be that easy you can use any terminology highlight delete whatever you know any terminal but wow it's more like a WoW what was I doing there I was drifting into doubts and
fears okay peace and happiness Jesus greeted people with peace that was his most consistent greeting peace he shows up on the water stormy sea peace he tells the water knock it off lighten up man what's all this y'all tense lighten up waves I mean that's essentially what you do peace relax but it's not just from a Jesus out there somewhere it's the Christ in us has to be able to speak to our lives and to ourselves that way you start to get anxious tell this thing hey Chel your stomach starts to you know so-and-so
called and Wow technically when you react and get anxious when somebody calls or when somebody says something it's actually called post-trauma you're not actually just triggered about something happening right now you're actually in part greatly responding to past stuff so you're experiencing post-trauma now when you do that do you think that does good things for your chemistry here comes all the unhealthy chemicals in the system from adrenaline to whatever else that can make you anxious or upset burns your
system out so peace peace wait I'm not saying pretend you don't feel what you're feeling acknowledge it even then give it to God but then always refill with something else do not forget or underestimate the importance of refilling a cup when you empty it always refill that's why I've always called this a refilling exercise but people then think it to be only something you do after you do healing work it's how to start and end the day with God anyone else before we go into closing yes shifting from needing to
have immediate responses to way getting into a healthy place before you respond to questions or choices or decisions you have to make yes no and I don't know you know anyone else if there's hands up it's hard to see them because you guys have light yes one more prayer and meditation combined become Communion and is this good prayer and meditation is perfect it's great what I'm saying though is you'll shift you'll evolve from let me tell God what I'm praying I'm telling God and then I'm meditating
which is all nice because I'm told I'm supposed to do that becomes eventually it's actually a communion the words of my intention instead of saying God could you help me with this and that becomes peace and happiness because that's ultimately what I was praying for but instead of words and words and words about you know peace and happiness even when you think I need to pray to God for some financial help you could pray to god the word abundance and now you're not asking for financial help you're calling in all the
financial consciousness called abundance or prosperity now I have it I am it and here it comes because it's going to magnet you know attract you know magnetically to itself so prayer still has an implication of me telling and when I narrow it down what do you really want this is what Jesus meant when he said you don't have to pray a lot of words God already knows and we interpreted that to mean oh so God already knows meaning here's my list my laundry list that's not what it meant it meant hidden behind all your words
there's a word or two that summarizes it I need fixed up my kneecap in my short shoulder and just ask for peace and healing and you don't think the rest is gonna happen that's what he meant seek first the consciousness of God and the rest will come why we even have to have a conversation about this is astounding because we should all know this but the human race doesn't yet know it because the ego typically speaks first and loudest and gets in the way and distracts us the needs and the worries
and all the anxieties of life it's like the ego has this propensity for self talk or gossip and we have to say no if you have anything of validity to say at all I'll get back to you in a minute when I sent her in to God and evaluate properly your opinions if I don't send her in to God nothing can be properly discerned when I'm in centered in peace and then bring decisions to myself I immediately know what things start to take me off of my Center and lastly please don't you know misinterpret what
I'm saying when I say peace and happiness if you're feeling sadness and loneliness I'm not shaming those feelings feel them cry do what you need to do absolutely get a counseling do what you need to do how well I'm adding to them when you're done the crying in you after all that's done do not forget to refill otherwise everything you just cried out comes back because it's coming from its source and it comes back to its source the boomerang effect so when you cast that out and you've made room make the room
for God and call something new in it's almost like after every sneeze bless you sneeze out the issues and say bless you alright alright we're gonna do our closing song and we'll include everybody watching online anytime you guys are helpful and you feel called to to watch be with us we have Friday nights or free spiritual insights you know with Michael my dad Friday nights at 5:30 we're gonna be starting up our consciously co-creating a new life of course it's an online course for just a few weeks in
January join us for that it's really pretty amazing so we try to keep things simple but our first Sunday's are free but on the donation basis Friday nights are free our Wednesday nights it's an online course there's a small charge for that but you know we try to make things as available and as free as possible as often as possible but also those of you who support by making donations you know we can't thank you enough II including your prayers honestly including your prayers of love and support show verbally your love and
support to anything that's been good in your life if it's not been good don't bad talk it just walk away do something else that's how you got to do you guys know certain music I like I've mentioned a couple bands how many do you think I don't like do you know of any I don't tell you the ones I don't like it's no no reason no no it's not necessary I'm some music it's just not my thing but you guys know the ones I like so talk and feel the things you love get into that positive vibe as often as you
can and I love our morning statement of purpose and I loved our reading for today because those things I don't ask them what they're gonna be doing and make it locked in and Chloe you know congruent it just ends up being that way because these things are designed by God these services who's here who's listening who's sharing who's meditating this is all really design and our songs and which one in what placement it never it really is casual or happenstance and our lives are meant to be like that so if you don't like
something we do it then don't watch go somewhere else but if you love it sit with it and think this is a reflection of me not me me any of us you'd say to yourself I really like this service good thank you and own that that this is something you helped go create but take it to the next level and ask yourself how can this also this feeling becomes something in my life on a day-to-day basis how can work feel like this and you're gonna go all I know it can't you know it can it may not be that job we don't know because it's gonna be
a day at a time readjusting it but your life your body your health your partnerships everything is supposed to feel and allowed to feel great like this I helped conduct this and it's still challenges and pull left and right once in a while but I I just do my best to bounce back because that's what I teach I don't teach you all need to live perfectly without no flaws like me you know Chiclets for teeth you know little square white things you know or whatever um I don't tell you that I don't tell
you that I talk you know about we slip and we need to bounce back and that's what I do so look at this in your lives please understand you can live this in your lives call it in visualize it give thanks but then take actions that match it if I call in peace and happiness and my words and actions don't match I am being a hypocrite and it will reflect this conflict in my life okay so I name three things call it in visualize it give thanks but there's another step your day-to-day actions alright
