YOU and Consciousness, Energy & Heaven & Afterlife.  There are probably thousands of ways people on earth look at the afterlife.  Yet, there are people like Christopher Hitchens who believed in nothing after his body died.  As intelligent as an author as he was and not believe in a Higher Power or look out over this earth, this universe and not say “Someone One made this”.  Could he not think that big?  Did he not know anything about energy and vibrations between the planets, the sun, and the moon and all the putting together of atoms and cells and all these little pieces of everything we and everything in the Universe are made up of.  I wrote a blog about Hitchens- his book “Mortality”.  These atheists cannot see beyond themselves?  I do not know about them but it makes me think they cannot see beyond SELF.  TO me it is very sad and it maybe was a shock for him or other atheists who shed this earthly body and move up into a realm they never believed in.  Must be very surprised and very sad.

Today, I want to tell you about Dr. Joseph Murphy and so this is our continued stories about different people and their story and how they have affected us out here who have read them for years and they have influenced us. Murphy was born in Ireland, the son of a private boy’s school headmaster and raised a Roman Catholic.  He joined the Jesuits.  In his twenties, before being ordained a priest, an experience with healing prayer led him to leave the Jesuits and move to the United States, where he became a pharmacist in New York City, he had a degree in chemistry.  He attended the Church of the Healing Christ.  He traveled to India and spent a lot of time with Indian passages, learning Hindu philosophy.  But later on, he formed a new church in America with Hindu ideologies.  He moved to Los Angeles, where he became ordained into Divine Science, and he became the minister of the Los Angeles Divine Science Church in 1949, which he built into one of the largest New Thought congregations in the country I have most of Dr. Murphy’s books and re-read them all the time and appreciate his thoughts.  His beliefs are:

Affirmative prayer,

Creative visualization

Divinity

Higher consciousness

Positive thinking

Prosperity theology

And probably more but those are the ones that I align with from his books that I have read over the last 30 years.  He passed several years before I came across his lovely books.  And always appreciate anyone who preaches positive thoughts because it helps me.

Have a wonderful week

YOUR Consciousness & Energy & Heaven

Keeping up YOUR Spirit

Here are some tips from Jane Fonda that was in a Forbes article:

Think Positive

Humor

Gratitude

Playfulness

Adaptability

Reflect on where you come from

Let go of perfectionism

Own your power

Embrace love at every age

Keep up appearances

Following is from Ora Nadrich – How Old is Your Spirit?

Don’t make the body do what it does best, and don’t put a

big load on it that the body could easily carry. – Rumi

If you were to put your age aside for a minute, how old would you

say it is?

By spirit, I mean, your energy, your life force, your joie de vivre,”

which basically means your joy of everything.

Does it come up as the age you are, or does it seem younger or

older?

Some people will say they feel much younger than they actually

are, and what that means is that it feels more youthful

then the number in their head, which can seem old.

Keeping up YOUR Spirit

Because we are all the age that we are, and that number will

increase with every year, it is comforting to know that our spirit

has no age because it is ageless. And what that means

can give our spirit whatever age we want – young or old,

Here is a meditation you can do to feel your spirit and welcome it

into your being as divine consciousness, which is external:

Sit comfortably somewhere quiet

Close your eyes

Cup your hands together on your lap

Take four or five deep breaths in through your nose and out

through your mouth

As you inhale, say to yourself, “spirit.”

Feel its presence in you as you exhale out

Experience the oneness of you and your spirit for at least 10

minutes

Take three long, slow deep breaths.  Rub the palms of your hands

together to generate heat.  Place your palms over your eyes and

face.

Open your eyes and return to awareness

Get up slowly

By meditating on your spirit, you allow for it to live in you without

any resistance.  Spirit has no limitation.

YOU and YOUR consciousness, Spirit and the Mind

There is so much written and researched about the 3 items in the

title of today’s blog and we will only be able to touch on a little of it

today but it will become one of our continuing education sessions

here.  Always learning, growing and developing and knowing what

we are, where we are going, and how grateful we each should be

for this moment in time to be here.

YOUR Consciousness, Spirit, and Mind

The following comes from soulproof.com website

Remembering our true spiritual natures is a prerequisite for

enjoying this earth-walk and fulfilling our soul’s missions.

Many esteemed scientists lend further proof that we each are

beings of energy and indestructible souls

Dr. Friedbert Karger, German physicist at Munich’s Max Planck

Institute, has extensively studied afterlife phenomena. And states:

“The consciousness-or soul-of a man lives beyond the body.  The

body is a tool that consciousness uses.

When the body dies, the soul remains… Death is not an end but a

transition from one state to another.  “He says that many famous

physicists have expressed an interest in the spiritual world.

The following are physicist, doctors, scientist and they all are

believers of the afterlife and how great is that these people of

science are believers.

Thomas Edison believed in life beyond death and after

awakening from a coma, he stated: “It is very beautiful over

there.”

Dr. Wilder Penfield, father of neurosurgery and much of us

understanding of brain function.  Thought for many years there is

no afterlife but after fifty years of research, he changed his mind.

He wrote the book “The Mystery of the Mind.  And took it very

seriously.

Do not forget about the great book:  Science of the Mind – you

need to have these books for your library.

They that have gone before us are close to us – maybe not all the

time – but they come in and out of our energy fields I believe and

give us comfort as we can feel their presence

Have a wonderful day and be a believer and share that

YOU and a new study reveals the surprising effects of Spirituality on the Brain

There is a growing body of research that has conclusively demonstrated the powerful, positive effects that meditation and mindfulness practices.  That has on the brain and body, and a new collaborative study between professors at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute is now taking these findings one step further.  In a summary of their findings, the report shows that they have found a direct correlation between the level of importance.  That a person places on spirituality in their lives and the thickness of a certain region of their brains.

Ho’oponopono and YOUR Spirituality

The study found that people who expressed that spirituality or religion was important to them had significantly thicker cerebral cortices-a part of the brain rich in highly active neutral networks.  These are responsible for sensory perception, language, and emotion processing than those who did not.  This came from consciouslifestylinemag.com I have talked about this before:

Dr. Joseph Murphy’s books – all of them help in spirituality and the brain.

Ho’oponopona is a wonderful technique that I use constantly also.   In my daily meditation, I use this technique a lot and have found it works for me spiritually.  As does any of my meditations that I have been doing since in my 40s. All the meditations do for you is to heal you.  And transmute their problems and become a more loving and peaceful person.  They all help you connect with the Higher Power that is a creator of all things and that shows we are all connected and we never die. Just our physical being dies but our consciousness, our soul, and our spirit never die; our energy never dies because energy cannot die.  We live in a universe made of energy and vibrations as we each are made of energy and vibrations.
