I am fascinated with the concept of multiple selves or

personas within one being – often offering us competing

voices in our heads directing our actions and critiquing

our progress. Psychology has clearly outlined the existence

of these often competing forces using descriptions like –

Parent / Adult / Child; Super Ego / Ego / Id; or True

Self / False Self to name a few.

 

I prefer to mix both spiritual and psychological labels using

the Ego / Operational Self / Divine Self and through in the

Pain Body to describe this paradigm.  Our challenge is to

marshal these personas or selves into one force aligned and

united for our greater good. Here is an Affirmative Note to

lead the way.

 

             Voices In Your Head

 

Today allow all the voices in your head

to be heard as you lead them on a mission

to create your happiness and heaven on earth. 

Listen to their hopes and fears and desires

working at joining their forces into one

strategy for the betterment of all.

 

Today know all the voices will always

be with you and must come along

for your future to be whole and without

conflict – soothe them – encourage them

and if needed quiet them until they can

feel safe at some future time.

 

Today bring the voices in your head

into harmony and listen to the beautiful

music they can create together!

 

Thanks for reading.

Winter in its stark beauty marches us on towards spring but leaves memories of the silent windswept landscapes and connects us with our spiritual center, lost at times but found again anew in the contemplation of a winter afternoon.

 

The winter clears away the foliage and leaves us with the essential beauty of all existence – bare but substantial. Let us enjoy the last opportunities of winter to see through to the beauty of the bare essentials. I offer this Affirmative Thought to assist with establishing the proper mood for reflection.

 

            A Winter’s Day

 

Let us be open to enjoy the beauty

of the day – a wintry dusting of snow

creating a world covered  in white –

bare trees pencil dark now framed

in a border of crystal against

an ice blue sky.

 

Let us be open to each sense

of the day - the sounds, the smells,

the touch of chilled air on our faces –

meeting life where it exists –

in this moment now.

 

Let us be open to fresh thoughts

and emotions created from living now –

releasing the striving for more or

better and enjoying the journey –

each step each breath.

 

Let us be open to all life presents

today and enjoy being alive!

 

 

Enjoy.

Thanks for reading.

With love, George Bryant Cronk

A key part of any spiritual development is the aspect of service to others – of giving back – and utilizing our talents and abilities to improve the world even if it is just one soul at a time.  I prefer to have a concept of God as a loving giving force that really knows nothing other than to increase the joy, happiness, and abundance in the world.

 

If enlightenment is truly a journey to being a reflection of God, living the light of God, do we not also need to stretch ourselves beyond our needs and attend to the needs of others. I offer this Affirmative Note to provide some encouragement when we are called to be the hands and feet of God.

 

 

                    Reach Out

 

Today reach out your hand and assist

those who need your guidance,

your expertise, your kindness –

fully serving and being in service

to all you meet – for here and now

this is the purpose of your life.

 

Today reach out your hand as God

does every moment to help others

see the hope in a desperate moment –

to find the way when the world

has crumbled – to see the potential

even in misfortune.

 

Today reach out your hand in love

and service gently providing the

relief needed – giving back for all

you have been given.

 

Today reach out and assist!

 

 

Let us always give.

Thanks for reading.

With love, George Bryant Cronk

What we all need is more imagination!

Neville Goddard (1905 -1972) would

have certainly agreed – a dancer and

entertainer turned New Thought writer

who became a popular speaker packing

churches and auditoriums in New York,

Los Angeles and San Francisco in the

mid -1950’s helping others reveal the

creative power of their own imaginations.

 

Neville expanded the traditional New Thought

message of the Law Of Attraction and Mind

Action to focus almost completely on the

power of using our own imagination to create

what we need or desire in our lives;

what he and others at the time called

“Imagining”. Neville suggested creating

the reality you wish to experience in life

fully, down to the smallest detail, in your

imagination as if it was completely true

and had already occurred.

 

Neville Goddard authored many books using only

his first name and was known as simply Neville.

To learn more about Neville I recommend

The Neville Reader a book featuring most

of his writing and the success stories of those

who followed his guidance.  

 

As the Affirmative Thought below suggests  -

it is all truly in the imagination.

 

FULLY IMAGINE 

 

Today, we realize that our dreams

only wait until we can fully imagine

an abundant future where we trust

all will be provided. We understand

we must see an abundant life ahead,

not one of lack or meager provisions.

 

Today we open up our imaginations

and see more not less, plenty not

scarcity, positive, not negative,

all rather than some. Our dreams will

not manifest and appear in a lack

of trust in our futures.

 

Today, we turn away from envisioning

a future built on the meager provisions

of today and instead, prepare a

home of overflowing wonder – where

all is provided – where only plenty

is available. This is the fertile ground

for the seeds of our dreams to grow.

 

Today, we fully believe and trust in God

with our total being, opening our

arms to the universe ready to receive!

 

WITH LOVE, G.

The word “passion”  has always been both fascinating and

mysterious to me with its many definitions including:

a strong and barely controllable emotion; an intense

desire or enthusiasm for something; or an intense sexual

love.

 

To make the word almost mystical there is the “Passion

of Christ” which seems to focus on his suffering and death, 

or a “passion flower” an evergreen with flowers that

resemble the crucifixion, or just a ”passion fruit” a kind

of passion flower that bears a purple fruit.

 

When referring  to living an “Authentic Purposeful Life”

passion takes on a spiritual and poetic meaning –  when we

find our passion we find what it is that takes our breath

away. I offer an Affirmative Thought below, which expresses

this definition.  May we all find our passion and live it,

cherish it, and never, never let it out of our sight.

 

 

                 

                Your Passion

 

Today work to find what it is that

takes your breath away – that

causes you to vibrate in wonder

and want to suck the moment

into your soul savoring every sense,

every nuance, every bit of the joy.

 

Today work to find your passion

allowing it to overwhelm you –

move through you, wash over you

and electrify each cell of your being,

each thought, each moment of living.

 

Today realize these experiences and

more wait for you to see the

world through God’s eyes – a

magical world of divine creation –

beckoning you to reveal.

The answers you seek are within your heart – often we

look frantically in every corner of our lives not realizing

that we are the answer until, in bitter frustration and despair

we kick the dirt off our souls and find the acre of diamonds

waiting. I randomly picked the Affirmative Thought below

from my achieves of unpublished notes and lo and behold

I found a gem.

 

            

             The Answers You Seek

 

Today know the answers you seek are

within your heart, your soul, your ever

evolving divinity - deep within

waiting to be summoned – waiting to

be called into action – waiting for

this time – the moment to become.

 

Today listen and watch for the gentle

signals from your soul – from a lifetime

of evolving – a spark interest –

a kindled desire – a thought that will

not go away – an answer in sparks.

 

Today sit back and know that life

and God will ensure all will be

revealed in perfect  time – at the moment

of clarity when all answers will

form and manifestation will become.

 

Today be thankful for all you will receive!

 

 

May all the answers you seek be revealed.

Thanks for reading.

Have you ever had a time in your life when you felt you

were paddling up stream and no matter how hard you

tried things would not go right for you. Ann and I are in

one of those periods right now and while meditating

yesterday the first line of this note came to me –

When we are in the wrong place our lives resist.

 

I could not clear this phrase from my mind so I stopped

meditating and wrote down the affirmative note below

without editing for both Ann and me. Discussing this note

yesterday has helped us make an important decision and

to let go of the oars and listen to our hearts.

 

                    The Wrong Place

 

When we are in the wrong place,

living the wrong life – our lives resist –

our souls rebel – and as we continue

the seams of our lives separate as

the threads unravel –

what was easy becomes hard,

what was hard becomes harder.

 

When we are in the wrong place

the flow of life is disturbed as

we hold on in fear to the way it was –

to the safety and security which is

now unsupported – to the foundation

of our lives that should not exist

begins to crumble.

 

When we are in the wrong place

we need to surrender and

let our hearts take us home!

 

Let go of the oars!

Have an purposeful day! Thanks for reading.
