“There is a silence into which the world can not intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a sense of holiness in you the thought of sin has never touched. All this today you will remember.”

“The universe pays attention to your preferences. The behaviors and thoughts your perform most often is what you get as your life experience. You can’t just use the law of attraction as a one time thing, it’s a force of nature, and it is always going. If you think, speak and act from a place of lack, or of not having it yet, that’s what the universe will provide. You need to examine the existing beliefs within you, weigh them against the truth, and make a new decision about how you’re going to behave now. Choose behaviors that are congruent with the manifestation of your dreams. You need to, in a sense, establish new preferences.”

“In the West we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generate results. In the East — especially in India — I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening without a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The success of love is in the loving — it is not in the result of loving.”

We Want Your Opinions!

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 09:14:09 -0700

Hey everybody,

The Philosopher’s Guide to the Universe is working on a book about how to live the life you’ve imagined. It will contain insight into things you’ve already heard and things you haven’t, and techniques you can use to help get yourself in a place of KNOWING that you are the bliss of the universe, instead of just intellectually believing it.

To help you (and the world) get everything you want or need out of this book, we would LOVE if you would comment on this post or send an email to thephilosophersguide@gmail.com and tell us what kind of information you’d like to be exposed to, any questions that still need answering about love, money, oneness, inner peace, inner knowing, techniques, and just anything else you’d like to know about in regards to manifesting the life you deserve.

Thanks!

“Self is what you are. You are That Fathomlessness in which experience and concepts appear. Self is the Moment that has no coming or going. It is the Heart, Atman, Emptiness. It shines to Itself, by Itself, in Itself.”

So true.

Dominant Thought

Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:46:38 -0700

For those of you who are seasoned pioneers of the Law of Attraction/Law of Resonance/Law of Cause and Effect (whatever you want to call it), it has probably been a big part of your life to try to hold the vision of what you want in your mind and make that end result your dominant thought. It has also probably occurred to you that this is not always an easy thing to do.

Some people become afraid, upset, or discouraged at the mention of the idea that you need to monitor your thoughts. Humans have something like 60,000 thoughts a day. So the question many people have is, “How am I supposed to think only good thoughts when I have so many thoughts a day?” It can seem like hard work, even downright impossible.

The good thing is, “dominant thought” doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re thinking only good, positive thoughts. It just means that the majority of your thoughts are positive and in keeping with the vision you have for how you want your life to be, not how it is now. And what’s the majority?

51%.

That’s right. You only need 51% of your thoughts to be positive and visionary in order to manifest. That eliminates a degree of worry there. All you have to do is remember to think good thoughts as often as you can. Use those vision boards, the affirmations and other tools you have at your disposal. They help immensely in getting your mind on the right track.

Be deliberate in your thoughts, your intention, as much as possible. Know that a negative thought here and there is absolutely not going to derail you from your dream. Of course, having only positive thoughts is a good goal to have and can turn your life into something completely magical, but it is not a prerequisite to successful manifestation.

Happy manifesting!

Be at Peace; Breathe

Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:39:59 -0700

When life gets you down and you’re feeling stressed, the absolute best thing you can do to free yourself and become at peace is to what?

Breathe. Take deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Preferably fresh air, but it works either way. Let the air fill your lungs and exhale. Do this several times.

When we breathe, we thrive. Breathing in this way takes you back to your calm center, and it directs your focus back to the present moment. When we’re stressed, our breathing patterns become short and fast. This is constricting. Breathe deep and open yourself up to goodness.

alwaysinsearchoflight:

The ancients viewed the outer world as the appearance world or Illusion, while the inner world was the Real world(noumena). Nothing is ever what it appears to be on the outside. However, the Illusion is not that it doesn’t exist, but that the Illusion is the way you conceptualize what you perceive. In those terms, illusion exists, yet the five senses do not “sense” the truth behind manifestation. The picture that the five physical senses portrays is illusionary. For example, the colors you see around you do not exist independently of your vision. Color is the result of light wave frequencies as they strike the retina.
