Old Plans Fulfilled

I am typing up notes from old spiral notebooks, which I carry with me to this day to write down ideas.

I am typing up ideas from December, 2010.

It is great to see that I have been carrying myself forward in the same train of thoughts and products.

Since that time I have learned how to move my product line to electronic form and make it possible to download them (www.MusicandBooksforChildren.com).

I am still working on many of the ideas, so there are many website pages waiting for me to convert the content into electronic form.  (www.MyMusicalMind.com).

The exciting thing for me is the fact that the ideas have remained consistent.

My work all those many years how to read music on several different musical instruments is fulfilling and valid.

My easier way which gives students independence and puts them in control of the many steps in learning to read music still feels as fun as it did while I was witnessing so many of them going through the process.

It is amazing to realize that I taught several thousand children over a period of forty years and got to see them take hold of the process, constantly refining it so that materials for many different learning styles were included.

These ideas continue to expand, and as I learn more about the computer, I am able to share more of them widely.

It is very reenforcing and fulfilling to go through this process.

A Series of Impressions

A series of negative impressions can only influence a life until they are dealt with.

What a fight they put up, as they realize they will become homeless.

No more room in this mind.

Too many good things have been attracted and the negative impressions are being put out of a job.

Too bad they happened.

But too bad in my mind, no more.

I will keep hanging on to the good ones.

They are the ones I care about.

Pure Grace Exposes the Lie and Sets Me Free

Now that I have witnessed the last stand of the lie and become free, I can see why it had to hide in order to do its work.

Everything we say clearly about our right to divinity and freedom is powerful and works to expose and defeat the lie.

Even if we don’t believe it at first, it is still worth saying until we do believe it.

The lie wants to remain hidden.

Otherwise, it would have no place to live.

In a mind convinced of its freedom and value, it cannot do its hidden work.

The lie wants to hide because what it says is so blatantly untrue that anyone would see it for what it is and refuse to listen to it.

By becoming so uncomfortable with what the lie says and with living with the results of its hidden influences, we are led to rebel and resist and to take a different stand for ourselves.

At this point, the lie knows its days are numbered.

I found myself becoming so convinced by the strong affirmations I made and by the way they defined me, that it became fun to discover new ways of doing this.

Also, even when I didn’t feel like doing the required work, I did it anyway.

It didn’t matter to me that I didn’t feel I was seeing any results.

I did not want to continue with the way I was living and thinking about myself and my life.

It seemed no matter what I did, I could not shake myself loose from my limiting beliefs.

Creating affirmations based on divine law and being resolutely consistent about declaring them with conviction is what finally caused the lie to come out of hiding.

The contrast was so great.

Even so, I was shocked and amazed at its cruelty.

As I reached out to help myself, all I could do was distract myself with projects.

I was so divided in my attention between the lie and what I was trying to do, that I decided to call a counseling service for help.

When it was exposed, the hatred was so great, I couldn’t even think, couldn’t remember my phone number.

Finally, I was able to cut through enough of the shock and leave a message.

I was partially outside myself and partially observing this phenomenon with great interest.

Finally the shock wave left and I was left with the bare naked lie.

No wonder it had been so hard to defeat it.

I had lived with the results and would never have accepted what I was told about myself unless it had been able to hide itself so well.

But, through Grace, the contrast became so great between how I have come to think of myself, that there was finally no hiding place for it.

That battle was its last stand.

It is exposed, and I am free.

Fall Back Affirmations

Inspiration you can pull up right away.

Phrases that are hard won and now part of you.

I am using a lot of these lately.

It helps put me back on the track when distractions hit too hard.

I am grateful for the work to understand and feel these, because they are there when I need them.

The weight of the entire advertising media plus normal family desires for celebration (and I am not even watching or listening to any media) is horrendous.

I am grateful for the daily attention to compassion, comfort, generosity, unselfishness and clear thinking.

It is possible to pull these up into the forefront of my thought each moment that I have to.

Onward to my daily work and practice.

Light is the Norm

I just had a breakthrough.

While contemplating a continuing disturbing situation, and appreciating the immense progress I have made in feeling good within no matter what happens on the outside, I realized:

Light is the Norm.

The Universe was created in light, in inspiration, with goodness and prosperity for all.

That we are all meant to discover our fulness and to live it.

That our fulness certainly does not depend on what is going on outside.

Everything comes from within.

I have gained so much appreciation for what I am and what I have from within, that it is beginning to be expressed on the outside, that is, manifested.

I am so grateful for this conclusion.

I am so grateful for my progress.

I look forward to it.

I renew my efforts to see my own fulness from within.

And to feel the joy of each step of manifestation.
