5 Cardinal Beliefs to Be a Spiritual Creator
\nBy Deepak Chopra<\/p>\n
From a spiritual viewpoint you are always a creator. The tiniest
\nsituation in your life is not made “out there” but “in here,” from the
\nsource of reality, which is awareness. People who believe that the
\nmaterial world is causing things to happen are simply unconscious
\ncreators-they haven’t taken responsibility for being authors of their
\nown lives. Since all of us are conditioned to believe that nature
\noperates independently of what we think, wish, dream, and feel,
\nreclaiming authorship of our reality is a gradual process that is
\nfostered by our ability to be present to our intentions, moment by
\nmoment.
\n
\nTo cultivate your connection to spirit, hold these 5 cardinal beliefs in mind:
\n
\n1. I am an empty vessel. Inspiration fills me every day, but I am not here to hold onto anything that comes to me.
\n2. I am here to pass energy from one state to another. Hopefully, I
\nmove it from a lower to a higher state, since my purpose is to direct
\neverything toward spirit.
\n3. I do not have to control the flow of reality, I bend where spirit bids me.
\n4. The fullness of spirit, not my ego, provides.
\n5. If I live from the source of creation, only good can come to me. Everything from spirit comes from love.<\/p>\n
– Deepak Chopra<\/p>\n

Civilization is a word we use to define self’s feeble attempt to
\nduplicate Oneness. Since self is an illusion, it follows that
\ncivilization is also an illusion. One is the only reality.
\nOne has no branch offices, divisions, or independent contractors.<\/p>\n
– Carson’s Commentary<\/p>\n

Healing Laughter … A wonderful giggle!
\nSwami Beyondananda:<\/p>\n
1. Be a fundamentalist, make sure fun always comes before the mental.
\nRealize that life is a situation comedy that will never be cancelled. A
\nlaugh track has been provided and the reason why we are put in the
\nmaterial world is to get more material. Have a good laughsitive twice a
\nday and that will insure regular hilarity.
\n
\n2. Remember that each of us has been given a special gift – just for entering. So you are already a winner!
\n
\n3. The most powerful tool on the planet today is Tell-A-Vision. That is where I tell a vision to you and you tell a vision to me
\n
\n4. Life is like photography. You use the negative to develop.
\n
\n5. As we go through life thinking heavy thoughts, thought particles
\ntend to get caught between our ears, causing a condition called truth
\ndecay. So be sure to use your truth brush and mental floss twice a day.
\nAnd when you’re tempted to practice tantrum yoga, remember what we
\nteach in the Absurdiveness Training Class: “Don’t get even, get odd.”
\n
\n6. If we want world peace, we must let go of our attachments and truly
\nlive like nomads. That’s where I no mad at you, you no mad at me. That
\nway, there will surely be nomadness on the planet. And peace begins
\nwith each of us. A little peace here, a little peace there, pretty soon
\nall the peaces will fit together to make one big peace everywhere.
\n
\n7. I know great earth changes have been predicted for the future, so if
\nyou’re looking to avoid earthquakes, my advice is simple. When you find
\na fault, just don’t dwell on it.
\n
\n8. There’s no need to change the world. All we have to do is toilet train the world, and we’ll never have to change it again.
\n
\n9. Everything I have told you is channeled. That way, if you don’t like
\nit, it’s not my fault. And remember, enlightenment is not a
\nbureaucracy. You don’t have to go through channels.
\n
\n10. Finally, if you’re looking to find the key to the universe, I
\nhave some bad news and some good news. The bad news is – there is no
\nkey to the Universe. The good news is – it was never locked.”<\/p>\n
Be a light unto the world – not a candle snuffer.<\/p>\n
===<\/p>\n
I shall allow myself to feel capable
\n— so that I may seek excellence.<\/p>\n
I shall allow myself to feel sadness
\n— so that joy may return.<\/p>\n
I shall allow myself to feel happy
\n— so that I may be revitalized.<\/p>\n
I shall allow myself to feel afraid
\n— so that I may find courage.<\/p>\n
I shall allow myself to feel alone
\n— so that I may know me.<\/p>\n
I shall allow myself to feel beautiful
\n— so that I may feel free.<\/p>\n
I shall allow myself to feel lovable
\n— so that the loving may seek me.<\/p>\n
I shall allow myself to feel pain
\n— so that I may heal.<\/p>\n
I shall allow myself to feel worthy
\n— so that I may fulfill my purpose.<\/p>\n
When I am centered, I see the perfection in the world, myself and others.<\/p>\n
When I find the world to be imperfect, I will take responsibility for
\npainting it that way. I will look into the heart of a rose, or the eyes
\nof a newborn baby and again know perfection.<\/p>\n
I take responsibility for creating my own life story through the
\nchoices I have made — to blame others is to give away my personal
\npower.<\/p>\n
Who will I allow to write the next chapter of my life?<\/p>\n
I shall make a small difference on this planet through the work I do —
\nwhen I leave I will have done my share. I shall live, love, laugh, and
\nlearn on my journey … <\/p>\n
People will forget what you said,
\nPeople will forget what you did,
\nBut people will never forget how you made them feel.<\/p>\n
