Power of Force

Are You Using Power or Force?
By: Rev. Eleanor Richard




What if you could know, with a "yes" or "no" answer, the real truth about any person, news event, presidential candidate, book, or anything else instantly? Since bodies never lie, scientists and researchers are now tapping into that truth using "Touch for Health" methods and finding fantastic results. Read Dr. David Hawkins, Power vs. Force and continue to be amazed...If you apply this knowledge, it will change your life.

Are you aware of the levels of consciousness of all life forms, including your own? If you put spiritual growth high on your priority list, you know that you continue to progress, and that humanity in general is gradually climbing the ladder of consciousness levels, however slowly.

These levels, a “Map of Consciousness” put forth by Dr. David Hawkins are calibrated to show how much or how little we add to the creativity of society, or take from it. Using extensively tested scientific research, we find that on a scale of 1-1000, level 200 is the breaking point. Above that, we add to truth, to our world. Below it, we take from others, lowering the overall human consciousness.

There is an easy way to see the difference. Power over others, the power of wealth, fame, etc, is calibrated below 200. This energy we shall call Force, since we are usually, someone is always, forcing people or animals to do it their way, pay taxes, follow the laws, stop at red lights, etc.

Force always has an opposite. If we make a law, someone’s always against it. Physical force demands retaliation. An argument has two sides, right vs. wrong, “us and them” consciousness. As a society grows in awareness that force may be necessary at times, but it doesn’t add to the creative, productive consciousness of the world. There is a better way.

Power, on the other hand, is inner wisdom. It never has an opposite. It embraces the oneness of us all. We begin to accept, to allow others to have their views, and to create the life we want. Power, or wisdom, is always present. We can use it to make decisions, to express love and joy wherever we are, and to attract to us those of a similar consciousness.

Here’s the test: Do you tell others what to do? Do you demand a vote recount, an insistence that others should do it your way? That is force. Or do you allow others to choose their beliefs and actions, even to the point of drug or alcohol abuse? Do you see the harmony in accepting all life forms to follow their natural way, even to extinction? You are using power, in that case, to create harmony and peace in your own life, and thus in the planet’s.

What is the Commandment Regarding Marriage and Divorce?

Great multitudes of people continued to follow after Jesus as he departed from Galilee and came into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan. As the multitudes gathered with Jesus, he healed them of all their sicknesses. Then came the Pharisees tempting Jesus again and said to him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Jesus answered saying have you not read that he that made them at the beginning made them male and female and for this cause a man will leave his father and mother and will cling to his wife making them the two as one flesh? What God joins together no man or woman should pull apart.

The Pharisees (this group of people must have been extremely devious) then said Moses commanded us to draw up a writing of divorcement and just put her away. Why did Moses say this?

Jesus answered the Pharisees and said Moses told you that because of the hardness of your hearts, but from the beginning this was not the case. Whoever puts away his wife, except it be for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery and whoever marries her that is put away commits adultery.

The disciples spoke to Jesus saying if the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. I read this line to mean it is not a good thing to divorce a wife and marry another woman, and it is not a good thing to marry the woman who has been divorced by her husband, and visa versa.

There is an exception to this rule, which is in the case of fornication. I read this to mean for these people and all generations after these people there is a way out of marriage if a partner commits fornication. The innocent person who has been made free of the marriage has the right to remarry without committing sin. The fornicator of this marriage is not eligible to remarry. This exception only frees the innocent partner. The guilty partner, as to what these sayings mean, is now destined for life to remain alone or to re-marry the original woman (if she desires this). The same applies if the woman is the fornicator against her husband. This is the case if these people desire greater the prize of eternal life.

The book of laws and rules is just that – a book of instructions. Men and women always have the free will and a mind able to decide how they want to proceed in their lives.

Chances are there will be no great lightning bolts or a sudden boom of thunder if men and women choose the bliss for a season in this present life over bliss forevermore in heaven.

However, a stern “depart from me, I never knew you, you that worked iniquity,” will be the reply from Jesus on the great judgment day. From there, I believe is a separation from all those who decided to work toward an eternal bliss forevermore in heaven. The book of instruction I read says that place is in outer darkness, where the fire is quenched not, and where there will be gnashing upon each others teeth, wailing, screaming, and crying as the flames roll on and on forevermore.

Hell has enlarged itself and continues to do so because there are so many destined to go there. Remember the straight and narrow road I spoke of in another article. This road is one that will be traveled by very few people. There will be no long lines and crowds in heaven. And if this be the case for what seems to be a minor infraction to many people, where in this world will the true ungodly people be? In this same place!

I suppose readers know by now, I believe in a hell fire to be as real as heaven.

What if both partners commit fornication? In that case, I think they are both at liberty to divorce each other, but neither is at liberty to get married again. They must stay alone if they desire to receive an eternal life, because to marry another would cause the sin of adultery.

In the case where a woman marries a man who has been divorced because of an act or acts of fornication commits the sin of adultery or the other way around with a man marrying a woman who committed fornication and was divorced because of this, the spouse of that type of person now is guilty of adultery. I truly believe there is no sin in these cases if intimacy never takes place, however, that is not likely to be. It just would only make sense to speculate a man and woman in these situations could genuinely love each other and be the best of friends, and live together in the same household without intimacy and still be able to work out a salvation of eternal life. However, as Jesus spoke in those days, very few people will be able to accept these sayings.

These sayings are very difficult for most men and women to accept. Jesus said he knew this would be difficult for most men and women, but save those who can abide by these sayings. I take this to mean……this is how it is. If you desire to earn an eternal life, this is how it is. If you don’t care, and you cannot contain yourself, meaning you must have a woman or you must have a man intimately, then tough luck, you won’t be seeing God the Father in heaven after while. But for a season while you are alive, you will have your choice of living in bliss and intimacy. So really, it is just a matter of what is most important to each person. We cannot have it both ways. It is totally each person’s decision. Jesus does not make anyone do anything! If you will listen to him, and now the Holy Ghost he sent for our comfort and teaching, the Holy Ghost will gently guide men and women into all the truths of God, and even the deep, deep things of God the Holy Ghost can reveal. That is only though if you “desire” it to be so.

Jesus finishes this talk by saying there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it let him receive it. So again, here, Jesus is saying, if you are able to do as I have commanded you to do, press onward toward the greater prize and the higher calling, which is eternal life and eternal bliss that will last for much longer than a season of “so-called” bliss. As the ages roll on in heaven so will you be there also in perfect “bliss” forevermore.

At this point you might be thinking…..do you really believe all that? And I have to answer you saying: Yes, I do believe it. Without faith you cannot make even the first step toward knowing the things of God much less learning the deep, deep things of God and on into eternal life.

The Abundant River Of Life

A light bulb moment for me this week, was the recognition that “universal law” is completely dependable and completely unchangeable – in much the same way that we “know” this about laws of gravity, electricity and aerodynamics. ("Advanced Formula For Total Success" www.total-success-4u.com).

We can cry at the banks of this energy stream or we can be happy at the edges of this ebb and flow; we can take a teaspoon, a bucket or a barrel to collect its abundant treasures – it doesn’t care - this “river” is neutral and continues along its natural, dependable, unchangeable course.

This "a-ha" drew a line in the sand for me regarding my “inner work” and its value. It clearly is the ONLY work that is more than worthy of my time. My daily busy-ness will not produce anything close to the results that I’m after. Not while my personal "transformer" is set to severely reduce the incoming energy current. “Desired results” are and will remain mere wishes until my mind truly expands - way beyond its comfort zone - my current capacity for Accepting, Seeing, Savoring, Expecting, Receiving and giving Thanks (A.S.S.E.R.T. www.sizzlingedge.com).

Many times a day I still relate to aspects of my life as a child would. Waiting to jump in while two other (not very friendly looking) kids keep turning a long, thin skipping rope – they speed it up the more I rock back and forth in hesitation. To me that is a “red flag”, indicating that I still set the responsibility for my results firmly outside of myself.

We can only experience freedom in direct proportion to the amount of truth that we are willing to accept without running way. I might believe that I’d progressed well with my work in the area of personal responsibility and “growing up”. That’s a bit of an egotistical, arrogant trap after you've accomplished a decent set of courageous, personal victories!

I recognise now, that although I rarely (if ever) consciously blame any tangible thing or any person outside of myself for a given circumstance, I do subconsciously still place responsibility firmly at the feet of “intangible forces at work – somewhere out there”. The question is, which idea/s and belief/s am I willing to shed so that I now courageously leap into my game? When that mind shift (point of "metanoia"; in ancient Greece, metanoia meant "the shifting of minds") is reached only a quantum leap is possible for the kinds of results that I will produce. This need only take as much time as I choose!

“Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi ~

The Real Secret of the Law of Vibration

Since ancient times the human race has known that there is a power that humans can use to exert control. This power is said to be able to control everything from the minds of other people to circumstances and even physical things. This weird and uncanny power was often mislabeled as evil; called by many opponents as witchcraft.

In those days one major religion was taking over the world, and force was used to convert any who did not readily express their belief and fidelity to that religion. Those superstitious people were afraid of anything that could not be explained. More often than not those who knew how to use this power were wrongfully accused by the religious people and were badly mistreated as well as executed. Oh what a wonderful place this world would be now if those people had become teachers instead of bonfires.

The trouble lies with those that stick to their dogmatic belief that only religious leaders know the truth. They believe that the mind is only a confusing theory, an improbable fairy tale that is sinful. These religious types also believe that to use your mind for anything other than worship is some sort of unforgivable sin that will result in eternal punishment.

So what is this power that has been so mislabeled, abused, and maligned? It is now known by modern science as the Law of Vibration, and is the foundation of the Law of Attraction. This natural law exists right alongside of other better known laws such as; magnetism, cohesion, heat, electricity, and gravity. It is not newly discovered it has been known for all time. The only problem is that it was suppressed by those who sought to control the human race. Only the upper class of societies was allowed to learn this great knowledge, and they kept it closely guarded; not only to have a better life, but also to avoid being burned at the stake.

Somewhere inside your body just below the heart is an area known as the Solar Plexus. This area is a great junction of nerves as well as arteries. This is your center, your home of the soul. Think of it this way; the old saying of “rely on your gut feelings” is a true teaching. Yes your mind is an integral part of the whole vibration process, but it is your center, some call it your heart, which holds the power. Many people make the error of trying to use only their mind to create their reality, but until you have integrated with your heart, you will experience limited, if any success.

Science has discovered that underlying all forms of matter there is an underlying energy of vibration. This is not metaphysical theory but is scientific verifiable fact. Everything in the universe is vibrating, from the atom, the molecule, to mountains, and every living thing; there is a vibration. It is the difference in the rate of vibration that determines its form. Slow vibration manifests as a rock, fast vibration registers as wind, very high vibrations register as sound, and all the layers and spectrums in between. In short all things are manifestations of the eternal energy from which all things precede.

Now here is the piece of information that will cause you to shift your paradigm; thoughts and feelings are vibrations. Through the use of your own rhythmic output you attract similar vibrating things into your reality. This is a skill that once learned and mastered will greatly enhance your life and all those around you.

The mind produces thought, the heart produces emotions. When the two parts are working together they create an energy that is transmitted into the universe just a surely as a sound wave. This thought wave will travel for infinite distances and will attract things that are of similar vibrating frequency. These things that are attracted to this thought wave will move towards the source of the thought vibration and grow stronger in the process. This results in the apparent manifestation of things into ones own reality.

Without getting into too long of a discussion, as there is not room here, the things that are attracted to you are the things you have generated thought energy for. Often times we have many things that we do not really want or desire in our life. It is because we worried that something might happen and did not want it to happen, but because we kept worrying, to be exact; generating a thought wave, we attracted the very thing we worried about as that is the way the Law of Vibration works. So learn how to worry about what you do desire and not what you do not desire.

There is an exact and reproducible method of generating thought waves that bring about the desired results. There is many a recipe, of sorts, if you will but learn them and use them for your own improvement. There is also a certain skill to using these recipes. These can be easily learned, and as long as you follow the proper process you will get the desired results. Like all things in life the more you practice the better you become. This knowledge brings strength to the user of it, giving you the ability to do as you will.

Be Solution Oriented With The Law of Attraction

I was talking to my friend Dru of Tahitian Noni International today. She has always been an inspiration to me, and is a real role model of a woman who has been through tough times and recovered beautifully. She is a top salesperson, and her success is a result of skill and a persistently positive attitude.

We were discussing how that, despite our intentions, because of the way we were educated, that we, (our culture in general), were taught to be able to predict problems, and then solve them. So while the intention was to learn to be solution oriented, the general emotional climate (pick any decade), and the "Lord of the Flies" climate at many public schools, produced exactly the opposite reality for many.

Why do I say that? Well look around and what do I see? Millions of internet searches a day for anything related to riches, inner peace, and The Law of Attraction. Best-sellers related to a zillion aspects of fulfillment. So something sure went wrong somewhere for a few generations of people who mostly grew up without their neighborhoods blowing up, without having to forage for food in a garbage dump, or sleep in the snow. How could we lack anything?

Well, any tv ad will tell you what you lack, right now. It is a form of hypnosis.

Aside from that, if we have attracted what we got, and it isn't what we want.....we all know now, we have to change our focus.

So it seems like we have done the opposite for a long time - did we become problem focused so we could excel in solving problems? We didn't separate the academic side of this with the "real life" version. We were rewarded in many ways for being problem solvers. That kind of includes perpetuating problems. We did the opposite of what we needed to do to fulfill our dreams.

Not everyone, of course. But there are those million searches, million best-sellers. To get our solution-focus from someone else. JUST the people I do business with, at Earn While Shopping, and at Brad Yates' "Money Beyond Belief", 2 out of so many, were, once, reading an article like this.

And then they flipped over to the other side of the coin.

We don't need to be perfect. We just need to be solution oriented, appreciate ourselves for doing so, and engage with the Law of Attraction as much as we can.

All the best!

Manifesting What You Want4 Simple Steps to Manifesting What You Want Be mindful of the things in your mind for your thoughts can work for you or against you

Recipe for Manifesting Your DesiresA Recipe for Manifesting Your Desires Think You must think about what it is you desire. Visualize your desire in detail and feel the emotions you would have by accomplishing your desire.

Commit to Do!

How many times have you made an attempt to do something only to fail? Have you ever attempted to start a project, quit smoking, or loose weight, only to wind up either worse off than when you originally began or with a half-completed project?

What about that business you swore you would promote this year? That book you were going to write? Did you get it done? After numerous attempts at initiating an activity do you conclude you just can't adequately motivate yourself to accomplish the task? Do you allow ‘things’ to get in your way?

Perhaps the challenge is not that you haven't formally set your ultimate goal, but rather that you have decisively committed to failure. Think back, did you say I am going to ‘try'? The word try in itself is the beginning of the end. ‘Try' is simply not as motivating as ‘DO'!

Webster's definition of try is 1 a : to examine or investigate judicially b (1) : to conduct the trial of (2) : to participate as counsel in the judicial examination of 2 a : to put to test or trial -- often used with out 3 : to make an attempt at – It is clear that even Mr. Webster fundamentally realized that to try was a pledge ONLY to try.

When you try to accomplish something you often fail simply because you have released yourself from the guilt of failure; you never said you were going to do, just that you would try. Therefore, when you do fail you can say “been there, done that” without feeling like you failed. However, the reality is; you did fail!

I have found that when I commit to DO, things get done! That one simple word purposely produces a mindset for success! I recall when I began my business, 30+ years ago, I simply decided to DO! I didn't say, I am going to TRY, I said I AM GOING TO…! No option for potential failure there.

Another effective illustration I recall is when I decided to stop smoking. I had TRIED several times before, but the day I said ‘I QUIT!’; that is the day I REALLY did quit!

How do you purposely produce decisive success? Yes, do start with a clearly defined goal in mind. Yes, do successfully create a plan, write it down, and make it a reality. But most importantly decide ultimately to succeed! Commit to DO!

To be truly successful and to remain committed to your ultimate goal, ‘Commit to DO’ today!
