Let's get smarter!, Rev-Bates

          Here in America we are living in a current culture of confusion. So many people either don't want to know, or are deliberately ignoring the consequences of what they do, say, and think. I have never felt so disappointed in so many people in my lifetime. It is almost like instead of becoming smarter too many people have closed off the power of the inherent Intelligence within them. This consciousness must not dominate the Collective Consciousness. This means we must strive to get smarter, all of us, in order to displace that which does not serve anyone, either on a personal level or a collective level.

          Let me share this with you from Marianne Williamson's "A Return To Love And The Gift Of Change": All of us have problems at times, even serious ones. But while we think we have many different problems, we really have only one: our separation from God (Good). Once we're realigned with the Truth of our being, non-truth can't remain in our presence for long. (pg. 51) .... Affirm that you're in your power, and pretty soon you will be. The subconscious mind doesn't know how serious you are when you think something; it simply sets you up to fulfill your own expectations. ... Some people ridicule the notion that writing out fifty times, "I am smart and perform brilliantly at work," each night before you go to bed for thirty nights can be viewed as a serious agent of healing. Yet those same voices are often the first to argue tat because your mother told you, "You're dumb and you'll never amount to anything," every night before you went to bed as a child you are wounded for life. So which is it? (pgs. 53-54)

           Good question, "which is it?" We do have the power of Intelligence to guide us, to bring us new ideas, to renew our mind. But, do we consciously choose to defer to this Intelligence? Too often people get caught up in the falseness of the prevailing beliefs in their environment. If we listen to false words often enough they become affirmations that will steal our joy, if not even our financial ease from us. Let's not let that happen. Let us begin right now, right where we are, to daily take the time to defer to this Intelligence in the Silence. Let's strive to consider consequences when making decisions about the issues that come to us. If we do this we shall get smarter. We are pretty smart already, I know because you are reading this.
              Here are 7 Positive Affirmations to tell Yourself "every" day:
               1) I believe in my dreams.
                2) I believe in myself.
                3) I love myself for who I am.
                4) I am in charge of my own happiness.
                5) I am grateful for every day.
                6) I am enough for whatever I take on.
                7) My mind is my power.

             Affirm these every day and prepare yourself for the best of times and the best of everything!

Keep the Faith!
