Creating Your Reality: 06-14-06

(09:33:28) (Rosie) Guess I'll get started...that way 5 people will come in and wonder why the hell I'm talking football....
(09:33:53) (Bill) ones already here, me
(09:35:31) (Rosie) alrighty then...
(09:35:36) (Rosie) From The Edgar Cayce Companion page 27: Know that the creative Energy called God may be as personal as an individual will allow same to be; for the Spirit is in the image of the Creative Forces and seeks manifestation. It may take that personality, for we are co-laborers, co-creators with the Energy we call God, that Energy we call Universal Forces. 391-14
(09:36:18) (Rosie) Welcome to the “Creating Your Reality” chat. As a reminder, I am using as the basis for this chat the book “Ask, And It Is Given,” by Esther and Jerry Hicks. The material is channeled from a group of entities calling itself Abraham. Tonight I will also quote from “The Vision” by Tom Brown Jr.
(09:36:51) (Rosie) You may have heard or read this week about a motorcycle accident involving the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. He was seriously injured, requiring 7 hours of surgery to repair broken facial bones and to suture lacerations. He was not wearing a helmet at the time.
(09:37:14) (Rosie) (and you thought I was kidding about the football thing :o)
(09:37:36) (Rosie) The reason this accident made such big headlines is that from the time he drafted and team managers learned about his penchant for riding motorcycles they asked him, warned him, pleaded with him not to ride, fearing the kind of accident an injuries he suffered this week.
(09:37:59) (Rosie) (looks like I shoulda proofread, huh?)
(09:38:21) (Rosie) He refused to comply, bringing on more criticism, warnings and worries from those dependent in some way on his stellar abilities. Even those who were not so dependent, like one of the team’s former quarterbacks, scolded him for tempting “fate.”
(09:38:54) (Rosie) I haven’t partaken of the comments by all the managers and spinmeisters because I don’t need to—I know what they’re saying: “We told you so.”
(09:39:23) (Rosie) They do not believe this incident is in any way their doing. And yet everything we have learned during these discussions says that thought they don’t realize it they are just as responsible as he is, if not more so.
(09:39:40) (Rosie) though they don't realize...
(09:40:06) (Rosie) He was obviously confident in his own ability to ride without incident. But I’m sure their constant harping caused some doubt to rise in his own mind.
(09:40:10) (Cris) Because they gave the idea of an accident so much energy?
(09:40:19) (Rosie) exactly
(09:40:24) (Rosie) that's my thinking, anyway
(09:40:34) (Rosie) And just as Abraham has described, that doubt drew to it all the fear-based thoughts and emotions of those around him until, lo and behold, they collectively brought the accident into reality.
(09:40:37) (Bill) maybe they were just predicting the future
(09:41:06) (Rosie) may be, bill :o)...football owners are often thought of as prophets ;o)
(09:41:16) (merri) LOL
(09:41:30) (WalksInSpirit) I, too, think when we worry about things, we give 'em power. My Grandmother used to tell us "Don't borrow trouble."
(09:41:40) (Rosie) It is, in my mind, a perfect example of our society’s ignorance of our creative abilities, and how our pervasive focus on fear and negativity bring to us calamity and lack bring to us the results of that focus.
(09:42:01) (Rosie) or whatever I meant there...heehee!
(09:42:09) (Rosie) you KNOW what I meant!
(09:42:12) (Bill) here has told me at one time or another to go to hell does that mean i should expect to go there :o)
(09:42:31) (Rosie) well, ol Big Ben sure did, in a manner of speaking
(09:42:56) (Rosie) According to Abraham, the Law of Attraction makes it increasingly easy to focus upon our thoughts, whatever they are, because, as in the “Big Ben” example, it makes more like thoughts available, developing a mood or attitude and eventually a vibrational groove or emotional set point that invites whatever is in our focus into being.
(09:43:54) (Rosie) Parents are a perfect example--and I’m just as guilty as the next--of fear-based reactions. They are so easily attained where our children are concerned. Even if we don’t verbalize exactly what we’re fearing, statements like, “Don’t run with that stick in your hand,” “Don’t jump that hill on your bike,” “Don’t run down the stairs,” carry that fear and I think affect our children subliminally if not directly.
(09:44:56) (Rosie) Sure, there’s a fine line between living in fear and handing out basic safety advice. But what if we, like our children, had no fear? How many times have they done something daring that we’d swear would result in injury but did not, simply due to their faith in themselves, or their lack of fear?
(09:44:56) (Bill) so your saying were not ultimately responsible for our own well being ?
(09:45:05) (janie) I used to tell my kids to 'be careful'.....but began to tell them 'stay safe' instead :o)
(09:45:21) (Rosie) good idea, janie!
(09:46:02) (Rosie) I'm saying what we think and fear can and does affect others, based on what we've learned about the Law of Attraction
(09:46:58) (Rosie) In the case of Big Ben, the accident affected the "us" that is the Steelers faithful
(09:47:37) (Rosie) I can think of an incident involving a motorcycle and my son, who was about 13 at the time my husband bought a motorcycle just for tooling around the farm. I was appalled when he walked the bike out to the old railroad bed, allowed our son, who had never been on a motorcycle in his life, to get on and take off.
(09:48:13) (Rosie) I of course was thinking, “Oh my God, he’s going to wreck and hurt himself,” and I do believe I may have verbalized that to them as they set out on the ridiculous stunt. But did they listen? Nooooooooooooo. Or maybe they did.
(09:48:41) (Rosie) Not 15 minutes later here they came. Our son had wrecked by driving the motorcycle over a hill of gravel and losing control. He had a broken foot.
(09:49:13) (Bill) i don't think the voice of reason broke his ft.
(09:49:26) (Rosie) I now wonder if the same scenario would have played out if I had kept my thoughts and emotions in check…if I had had faith that it would turn out all right instead of fearing the worst. We’ll never know for sure. And yet something in my gut tells me I was just as responsible as they for what happened.
(09:49:45) (Rosie) Obviously you disagree, bill :o)
(09:50:22) (Rosie) And that's OK. I'm OK. You're OK *cheezy grin*
(09:50:26) (Bill) thoughts are things so in your sinario even the thought would have been at fault
(09:50:27) (shyra) lol Bill
(09:50:40) (Rosie) I'm suggesting it could have been, yes
(09:51:14) (Rosie) This conditioned negativity on a societal level is something huge we must overcome if we are to get to a place where we are able to constantly create what we desire instead of what we eventually receive from fear-based expectations.
(09:51:36) (Cris) Accidents also happen from inexperience
(09:51:41) (Richard) There were several possible outcomes to that event and that might have been the least hazordous and most educational... think positive.
(09:51:55) (Cris) My son almost totaled a car when I was teaching him t drive
(09:51:56) (Rosie) LOL...point taken!
(09:52:25) (Rosie) another scary scenario involving children!
(09:52:30) (Cris) He didn't think I knew what I was talking about when Itold him he was taking a corner too fast
(09:52:38) (shyra) This chat is based on a specific book isn't it?
(09:52:59) (Rosie) I've been using Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks
(09:53:03) (Cris) The car jumped a ditch and almost fell down a hill
(09:53:14) (Rosie) sheesh, cris!
(09:53:16) (Cris) With us in it
(09:53:37) (shyra) there is a book I believe titled "Creating your own reality" though
(09:53:42) (Rosie) did you send him to a driving school after that? heehee!
(09:53:54) (Cris) No I let Ken teach him
(09:53:58) (Rosie) i'm sure there is, shyra :o)
(09:54:08) (Rosie) lol..good thinkin' cris :o)
(09:54:46) (Rosie) I imagine, cris, that like any parent you were probably a bit nervous at the outset
(09:54:46) (shyra) a concept which I have been recently trying to put into practice
(09:55:14) (Rosie) that's a good thing, shyra :o)
(09:55:21) (shyra) it was nice until I ran into some ppl at work who are soooooooooo fear based
(09:55:44) (Rosie) that's the point we've been discussing...overcoming our societal negativity
(09:56:03) (Rosie) What is it that Newton’s first law of motion says? That (in a state of no gravity) an object tends to stay at rest. And that an object in motion will continue in motion unless acted upon by an equal and opposite force? In other words, it is the tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion. He was simply discovering Universal Law.
(09:56:05) (shyra) and now I think I ought to be reading "Why bad things happen to good ppl " LOL
(09:56:36) (Rosie) Fortunately as co-creators with the Universal Forces our abilities are above those of objects and we have the ability to change direction through thought and desire. So to combat this culturally-based negativity we must constantly vigilant of remaining positive, of having faith, that we can change our direction.
(09:57:05) (Rosie) no you shouldn't, shyra! At least in my humble opinion
(09:57:38) (Rosie) And we have to cultivate the ability to do so despite what is going on around us…what we are observing.
(09:57:52) (Rosie) ...as in shyra's work situation
(09:58:05) (Rosie) That is where cultivating the art of appreciation, an attitude of gratitude, plays such a huge role.
(09:58:32) (shyra) I meant that these folks are having a very negative effect on me and it is spreading into all phases of my life Rosie
(09:58:34) (Rosie) Abraham: “As you move through your day, you may see unhappy people who are ornery, disappointed, or in pain; and as they direct their negative emotion toward you, you may find it very difficult to feel appreciation toward them. And then you may blame yourself for not being strong enough to appreciate them in spite of their negative offerings toward you.’
(09:59:03) (shyra) very diificult Rosie
(09:59:05) (Rosie) you got here at just the right moment, shyra...read on
(09:59:20) (Rosie) “Well, we would never suggest that you should be able to look right at something you do not want and feel good about it. Instead, look for things that cause you to feel good when you find them, and then the Law of Attraction will bring you more things like those.”
(09:59:39) (shyra) I guess :)
(09:59:51) (Rosie) “Whenver you are looking for things to appreciate (as in the Rampage of Appreciation we discussed last week), you have control of your own vibrational offering and your own point of attraction, but when you are responding to the way other seem to feel about you, you have no control.”
(10:00:28) (Rosie) “You do not know who ran over their dog today or who divorced them or who took money out of their bank account. You do not know how they are living, so you cannot understand why the react to you in the way they do. And you cannot control it.”
(10:00:41) (janie) Even if your appreciation takes the form of "Man, I'm sure thankful my hair doesn't look THAT bad!"?!? heehee!
(10:00:53) (Rosie) LOL! whatever it takes!
(10:01:15) (Rosie) “Once you have made the decision that nothing is more important than that you feel good, and you have decided that you are going to consciously look for some things to appreciate today, the object of your attention has now become the feeling of appreciation.”
(10:01:43) (shyra) :)
(10:02:04) (Rosie) As we have discussed here in the past, shyra, the key to creating what you desire is keeping your emotions at a high, loving level
(10:02:16) (Rosie) “You have now established a circuit between you and that object of appreciation that the Law of Attraction will being working on immediately, so you will start seeing more things to appreciate right away.”
(10:02:48) (Rosie) I think that's supposed to be "begin working on..."
(10:03:16) (Rosie) I’ve been reading a trilogy of books by Tom Brown Jr., the renowned tracker and teacher of survival techniques, among many other things. He was taught both physical and spiritual survival, as it were, by an old Apache shaman he referred to as Grandfather.
(10:03:43) (Rosie) Grandfather provides an excellent example of living in gratitude.
(10:04:35) (Rosie) In “Visions,” Tom recounts a day in the New Jersey Pine Barrens when as a boy he observed from a distance Grandfather’s approach to a stream. This is a lengthy passage but one I think well worth the experiencing.
(10:04:39) (shyra) nothing is more important than my feeling good ?
(10:05:33) (Rosie) when it comes to raising your vibrations to the point where you are able to consciously create what you desire...that's the context, shyra
(10:05:58) (shyra) Think I ought ttake that on as my new affirmation Rosie :)
(10:06:16) (Rosie) well, it beats, "I'm having a bad hair day." heehee!
(10:06:20) (Bill) Shyra feeling good about yourself because of the choices you make
(10:06:42) (Rosie) thank you ,bill
(10:06:51) (Bill) yw

(10:06:56) (Rosie) “He approached close to the water’s edge and stood with his arms raised in an attitude of worship. Again looking upstream and downstream as if searching, pausing at every glistening riff and misty hollow with his gaze. I could see clearly the streams of tears on his cheeks glistening in the sun and the contented smile on his face.”
(10:07:37) (Rosie) “He kneeled down solemnly and touched the water, every so gently, as he watched his own concentric rings ripple and mix with those of the waterstrider. He began to stroke the water as if it were a living being, looking deep into its color and to the mosaic of sand-mixed pebbles at the bottom.”
(10:07:39) (shyra) I like Rosies Bill Im in the mood for some serious self interest lol
(10:08:14) (Rosie) “He drew his face close to smell the water, then took a light sip. He sat back with the water in his mouth and swished it back and forth. His actions would have put the most experienced wine taster to shame. Reaching deeper into the water with cupped hands, he raised the water to the Creator in thanksgiving. Then and only then did he drink.”
(10:08:50) (Rosie) “Standing erect, once again, he dropped his blanket and entered the water. I could see his entire body trembling with excitement and the smile on his face. As he lay back in the water, he was one of total rapture.”
(10:09:19) (Rosie) “Rapture, something I never see in society’s world, except as a word, but not an emotion. Society does not seem to know what rapture is, far less what it feels like. Just like rapture is to society, water is something for them to guzzle, put here for their use or misuse, and never given a second thought. To Grandfather, water was Earth Mother’s blood, a precious gift of life for all things living and growing, not just for man.”
(10:10:05) (Rosie) “My mind raced back over the events of what took place, searching them for meaning. I should not have been shocked at all, for he had done nothing new. He always approached water that way, solemnly, in reverence, and like a child.”
(10:10:31) (Rosie) “Grandfather savored everything in life as he savored the water, fully and with all his senses, to a state of utter rapture. He would walk through the forests fondling leaves, touching flowers, hugging trees, and lifting loam in cupped hands to smell. Life was always new and fresh to him, and adventure packed with excitement.”
(10:11:07) (janie) appreciation at its finest....... :o)
(10:11:12) (Rosie) “He was a child, always at play, always searching, tasting, touching, smelling, hearing, and seeing the world and life fully…to him, every entity of earth was an object of worship, his life a constant prayer of thanksgiving, and his quest was always for rapture.”
(10:11:40) (Rosie) “In watching him live that day, I learned how to live and the true meaning of life.”
(10:12:45) (Rosie) Maybe if we could remember Grandfather when we feel we can find nothing to appreciate, for which to show gratifude, it will help.
(10:12:50) (Anne) that was beautiful
(10:12:58) (KingShao) sounds like a study of self
(10:13:30) (Rosie) From The Edgar Cayce Companion, Page 83: “Thoughts are deeds, and are children of the relations reached between the mental and the soul, and has its relation to spirit and soul’s plane of existence, as they do in the physical or earth plane. What one thinks continually, they become, what one cherishes in their heart and mind they make a part of the pulsation of their heart, through their own blood cells, and build in their own physical, that which its spirit and build in their own physical, that which its spirit and soul must feed upon, and that with which it will be possessed. 3744-4
(10:13:44) (shyra) nice literary style
(10:14:56) (Rosie) And now, courtesy of our friend Roz, the Prosperity Prayer:
(10:15:07) (Rosie) I am wise in the wisdom Prosperity of the Christ of my being.
(10:15:19) (Rosie) Knowing this, I accept the abundance of the kingdom of God fully and gratefully. My thoughts are enriched; they are divine ideas about my total well-being and the well-being of those who are in my care and keeping.
(10:15:28) (Rosie) Christ in me is an understanding that is far above what I know or what any person could possibly teach me. This wisdom of the soul awakens me to a world of possibilities for the enrichment of my life and the lives of those I hold dear.
(10:15:38) (Rosie) From the Christ Wisdom of my soul, I know to expect and accept the many ways and means in which prosperity comes to me. I am thankful for an inexhaustible supply of good.
(10:15:47) (Rosie) Awomen.
(10:15:52) (Cris) Amen
(10:15:55) (WalksInSpirit) Nunwe
(10:16:06) (janie) Amen
(10:16:10) (Rosie) Thank you all for being here :o)
(10:16:13) (Bill) Amen
(10:16:18) (Rosie) I appreciate you!
(10:16:21) (shyra) ty Rosie
(10:16:22) (Cris) Thanks for the lesson
(10:16:30) (Anne) the grandfathers are the ones who work the hardest to help those most in need
(10:16:34) (merri) Amen
(10:16:35) (janie) We appreciate YOU too, Rosie! Thanks!
(10:16:37) (Cris) may we continue to have an attidude of gratitude
(10:16:49) (WalksInSpirit) Great chat, and great presentation, Rosie! Thank you!
(10:16:54) (kazu) Gratitude!
(10:17:00) (Rosie) you're welcome
(10:17:04) (Rosie) that's it, kazu :o)
(10:17:58) (Rosie) This thought is nothing new....sometimes we just need to remember
(10:18:08) (Rosie) or be reminded
(10:18:11) (shyra) I tried the gratitude thing with these ppl Rosie and they just poke fun
(10:18:17) (merri) wonderful presentation and very much appreciated
(10:19:01) (Rosie) keep at it, shyra....as cayce said: line upon line, precept upon precept...in other words, it builds a little at a time as long as you stick with it
(10:19:33) (shyra) I think it is because the bosses are snobby and make fun that the others all do it without thinking
(10:19:49) (shyra) nice words Ro
(10:20:12) (Rosie) love conquers all, shyra....stick with it and I think you will gradually see the resistance lessen
(10:20:30) (shyra) thats what I hear :)
(10:20:38) (Rosie) gotta have faith!
(10:20:57) (shyra) cuz ya gotta have faith
(10:21:29) (janie) Some people are so used to never hearing the words 'thank you', or 'I appreciate you' that when they DO hear those words directed toward them, they're suspicious......when they realize that you're sincere, they'll begin to see it all differently!
(10:21:55) (shyra) they say its manipulative right
(10:21:55) (janie) I'm betting that they'll even come to the point at which THEY're saying 'I appreciate YOU, too!'! :o)
(10:22:17) (Rosie) I tried it on our tech support people this week...told the lady over the phone how much I appreciated what she does and she was shocked but you could tell she was grateful to hear it.
(10:22:23) (Rosie) I agree, janie!
(10:22:49) (oz) 'I appreciate YOU
(10:22:56) (Cris) People need to be thanked for their services too many times they are taken for granted
(10:22:58) (oz) All
(10:23:05) (shyra) yup if your nice today you are controlling and manipulating I say get real there is good manipulation and bad manipulation
(10:23:15) (janie) How nice of you, oz :o) Thanks!
(10:23:25) (oz) :o)
(10:23:28) (Rosie) yes, thank you!
(10:23:44) (Cris) I also write letters of appreciation when people have done things for me
(10:24:09) (Cris) Often times those letters go in the employee files and help with future raises
(10:24:41) (Bill) if you feel you need to be acknowldged for your efforts then you've missed the point and havn't been sincere in your endeours
(10:24:43) (kazu) cris Oh There is such a custom in U.S.!
(10:24:46) (Rosie) that's wonderful, cris! Makes me think of an instance where I meant to do that and didn't :o(
(10:24:51) (AvahLahael) Yes Bill./
(10:24:59) (shyra) really charity where I work is really wanting
(10:25:59) (Rosie) I think you're contorting the point, bill....like the tech folks I referred to...I don't think they THINK in that way but at the same time people tend to take them for granted and it helps to hear a thank you
(10:26:29) (AvahLahael) If ones purpose for being kind is to seek kindness then they are not being kind themselves to those they expect it from.
(10:27:06) (AvahLahael) Of course those individuals probably should not be working in the PR department who cannot be kind.
(10:27:08) (Cris) If your work is never acknowledged it will begin to seem pointless even if what you are doing is necessary
(10:27:18) (Bill) Rosie i'm not saying your shouldn't show gratitude i try and do it all the time b ut if you do something for others expectantly then you are only doing it for self
(10:27:19) (shyra) your confusing AVA
(10:27:32) (Rosie) I understand, bill :o)
(10:28:26) (Rosie) I especially feel for folks who work for low wages and who still manage to smile and be happy in the face of a public that is often spoiled and rude...I try to show appreciation for what they do
(10:29:28) (shyra) that's gracious of you some are too busy ppuffing themselves at over there charges rather than being appreciative
(10:30:21) (shyra) for the doing the grunt work they refuse to do lol
(10:30:27) (KingShao) A lady was being tended to by paramedics today ,before they arrived she motioned for me to come over ,so I obligedshe said to me "God always has a ram in the bush"
(10:30:32) (Rosie) exactly!
(10:31:09) (Rosie) a ram in the bush?
(10:31:15) (shyra) lol King " what is a ram in the bush " if I dare ask?
(10:31:44) (KingShao) God directed Abraham to sacrifice his son
(10:32:33) (KingShao) Abraham got to the point where he had the knife raised to do just that
(10:32:51) (KingShao) God stopped him
(10:33:28) (KingShao) turning around there was a ram with it's horns stuck a bush
(10:34:12) (KingShao) Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it on the altar he had built to sacrifice his son on
(10:34:13) (janie) Still doesn't make any sense to me.....*blonde*
(10:34:50) (AvahLahael) Have faith, don't worry.
(10:35:01) (KingShao) Right
(10:35:17) (Rosie) good attitude, considering her plight :o)
(10:35:30) (janie) So what's any of that got to do with a lady in an ambulance!?
(10:35:38) (KingShao) God provides the way for those who trust Him
(10:36:04) (Bill) place your faith where it it counts
(10:36:12) (KingShao) Well that incident happened so I could post it here for you
(10:37:39) (Rosie) well, that's what we're talking about here, essentially...having faith in our own ability to create what we desire :o)
(10:37:41) (janie) Ok, now I get it.....she manifested a ride for herself to the hospital ;o)
(10:38:46) (KingShao) Her faith did
(10:39:19) (janie) Exactly Rosie's topic! Cool! She had faith in her creative abilities...good for her!
(10:39:35) (AvahLahael) The Hand of God contiuosly moves people and e3vents together in relation to what is required in regards to your spiritual growth and development.
(10:39:58) (KingShao) Almost It was faith in her Creator
(10:40:20) (janie) yep....we get what we create....I just wish I'd get to creating better!
(10:40:27) (shyra) lol ROSIE
(10:40:29) (KingShao) He provided the ride
(10:41:25) (shyra) do you have any suggestions for manifestating or cautions for that matter?
(10:41:28) (janie) but....merri....I think it was you who suggested it (but I'm not sure!?)....I wrote on a piece of paper "I remember my dreams", and I keep it under my pillow....just before I go to sleep, I touch that piece of paper, say the words aloud, and voila! I've been remembering more dreams lately!
(10:41:51) (merri) great janie!
(10:42:18) (merri) it usually works if one is serious about remembering their dreams
(10:42:51) (janie) I've gotten over my dream constipation! heehee! *whew*!
(10:42:51) (Rosie) it didn't work for me....unless there was a delay of a few weeks...been remembering more lately but think it's cuz the hot flashes are waking me up every half hour! heehee!
(10:42:59) (WalksInSpirit) LOL Janie
(10:43:59) (merri) having a good nights sleep also will affect dream recall
(10:44:24) (Rosie) you mean like getting 8 hours every night?
(10:44:44) (merri) it doesn't have to be 8 hours
(10:44:48) (shyra) don't really need 8 when you meditate :)
(10:45:27) (merri) just long enough to be in the REM pattern of sleep
