That’s right! Today is the day. Today is your day!
No, I’m very serious. This day is the day when it all comes together for you.
No more waiting, wondering, watching, waffling. No more wandering aimlessly in confusion or uncertainty.
Today all the answers have come. All decisions are made; all problems resolved.
The check is no longer in the mail; it’s in your hand.
The job has been offered.
The medical prognosis is clear.
The relationship is healed.
The desert is blooming….
Don’t believe me?
I can hardly believe it myself, but it’s true.
It’s true… It’s True, if I say it’s true.
I have to see it, and believe it, with faith.
Opportunity is where I am
I am in the flow of life
And every day I expect good things
To happen that
Open the way to success for me.
I put my whole self into everything I do
And I pour myself out as a blessing wherever I go.
This is one of my favorite “go to” prayers or mantras. It tells me that I don’t need to go looking for my good, searching here, there, and everywhere. Opportunity is right where I am.
Why?
Because it is not an external thing. It’s an internal thing.
Things may happen around you,
and things may happen to you,
but the only things that matter
are the things that happen in you.
The spiritual truths that we have been blogging about and talking to you about, they all boil down to this:
From Prosperity Now!
Simply put, we have begun to change our minds (repent).
Our thinking has started to shift,
and our outer life has, and will continue to, shift as well.
One way A Course in Miracles defines a miracle is:
a miracle is a shift in perspective.
Our perception shifts and things do not look the same.
Outside, perhaps nothing has changed, but inside,
things look different, and so they are different.
When we go inside and do what is necessary to shift our emotional, mental, and spiritual inner landscape, as our atmosphere clears and lightens, the outer world shifts to meet the new me!
This is true because we are a part of an unbroken, omnipresent field of energy that some call God, some call The Tao, and some call the Quantum Field.
But no, quantum fields do not interact with matter.
Quantum fields are matter.
In a quantum field theory, what we perceive as particles
are excitations of the quantum field itself.
Like fish swimming in the water, we are infused with the Spirit that is everywhere present, that makes up the entire Universe, everything seen and unseen.
The whole of God is present at every point in space at the same time.
Take time to meditate on this great idea.
In other words, God doesn’t come and go.
God doesn’t capriciously move substance from God’s supply “up there” to fill your needs “down here.”
Nor does God answer prayer in some kind of coming forth.
God is always present, totally present – as a Presence.
This story is a paraphrase from Stretton Smith’s 4T Prosperity Program:
Once there were some little young fish and they heard about this amazing substance: water. This marvelous, mysterious thing was the source of all good things, all of life.
They said, we have to go find this water. So, they swam all over the seven seas, looking for the water.
After a long time, they came back home, old, tired, sick, discouraged, and ready to die.
Meanwhile, one of their friends knew the truth. They stayed home on the reef. They knew they were already in the water. Fully immersed in their good.
The friends swam back home and saw their friend who had stayed behind. Their friend looked great, young, and vibrant, with all they needed for a fabulous life. The travelling friends were amazed. How did you do it?
Easy! I always knew the water was all around, in and through me. I didn’t need to go anywhere to find my good.
It was here all along!
Opportunity is where I am. I am in the flow of life!
A Course in Miracles teacher and mystic (and friend) Jon Mundy’s monthly Miracles Magazine talks about this in the July 2023 issue:
A common theme in classic literature is the story of a young man or woman who goes off in search of their destiny, only to get lost in some worldly misadventure before they get their values straight. When they do, the road begins to straighten out before them. In John Bunyan’s Pilgrims Progress of 1668 (one of the world’s first ‘novels’), our hero, Christian, goes off looking for Heaven. One is often looking to get back home, as in Alice in Wonderland or Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Where is Christian? Where is Alice? Where is Dorothy? They are all home, sleeping and dreaming that they are caught in some misadventure. In like manner, the Bible says that a deep sleep fell upon Adam but makes no reference to his (our) awakening.
You have chosen a sleep in which you have had bad dreams, but the sleep is not real, and God calls you to awake. There will be nothing left of your dream when you hear Him because you will awaken.
T-6.IV.6:3-4
We are all looking for the water! We are all looking for the answer.
We think: if they were different, if things were different, if the world was different, if my parents were different, if my boss was different….
Then everything would be alright. I would be alright. I’d be comfortable. I wouldn’t be anxious, afraid, worried, disturbed, etc.
Truth is, we are always right where we are supposed to be, and it is from this place of Power where we can begin. It is the only place where we can begin from to begin to “see it right.”
Another one of my favorite mantras is: Don’t try to set it right. See it right.
The outward appearances of the dream are so compelling. The illusion seems so real. The circumstances overwhelming. The “reality” is real, right?
We need to realize (real-eyes) the inner landscape is where it’s at. We don't try to rearrange the deck chairs. We see things with new eyes, clear eyes.
Now! This is where we can truly affect change.
Today.
Today is the day. The only moment where anything – everything – matters.
Look to this day: For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course Lie all the verities and realities of your existence. The bliss of growth, The glory of action, The splendour of achievement Are but experiences of time. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision; And today well-lived, makes Yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day; Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!
Kalidasa (4th–5th century CE)
So, this day is the day – the only day. This moment, now! You have all you need inside to affect a quantum leap in consciousness.
Why wait?
Opportunity is where you are. You are in the flow of life!
Happy Sunday,
Johnny
