SPIRITUAL MUSINGS

Life's greatest battles must first be won within the mind.

Your Mood Determines What Happens To You
by Peter Ragnar

(P.S. From Pat Baars: Webster's Dictionary defines "Mood" as a "state of mind." Thoughts generate emotions, and we can choose our thoughts by simply training ourselves to be more aware of them.)

Do you first have bad things happen to you or do bad things happen because you get into a bad mood first? While we both know that unpleasant events can trigger negative emotions, few of us realize that getting into a bad mood isn't mandatory - it's optional.

Have you noticed how the events of the day unfold on those days that you've chosen to be grouchy, blue, or grumpy? These are usually the days when you can't find a parking spot, you're late for an appointment, you've misplaced your keys, bumped your knee, stubbed your toe, caught every red light, and finally after finding your parking spot, found you didn't have any change for the meter.

"Your Mood Determines What Happens To You"

With an ingrained expectation that life is a long row that must be hoed by the sweat of your brow we accept negative conditions as naturally occurring events. The scary part of all this is that most folks never realize that they write the script for what happens.

How do we write the script for the day's events? Well, here's the secret process: Past conclusions and present thoughts give birth to emotions. Emotions generate energy. This energy sets up an electrical and matching magnetic field, which becomes strong or weak vibrations depending on the intensity of the emotion. Just like touching a bare electrical wire and having it stick to you, your self-generated vibrations create an attraction field that magnetizes conditions and circumstances to you. These conditions remain stuck to you until your vibrations change. Your mood determines what happens to you.

Whenever you feel excited and happy about your life, you're vibrating at the frequency of the core essence of what enlivens you. In other words, it is the life force that is generated from pure consciousness. Some might identify this as super consciousness, the all-in-all or the composite of the implicate/explicate order of the universe in the terminology of quantum physicists. I like to refer to it as the cosmic hologram that can give birth to anything you might imagine.

What emotion do you feel whenever a passionately held goal or desire is realized? Happiness, of course. But how many of us have turned the picture in reverse? In other words, generate the emotion of happiness deliberately. Happy emotions create positive vibrations that begin oscillating at a much higher and faster frequency. This is the frequency of creation that the law of attraction uses to manifest conditions for us.

Vibrations are created by our feelings and then magnetized with appropriate emotion, resulting in manifestation. The more conscious we become, the happier we feel thus the easier it is for us to create a beautiful life. This is why I say, "Your mood determines what happens to you." When you are feeling the electromagnetic thrill of happy emotions, you're buzzing with the power of creation and you can do no wrong. Here in this force field, you're totally safe and attracting only goodness.

You may be asking, "How can I change my bad mood into a more positive or even a happy mood?" First of all, by only thinking about the beautiful conditions you envision for yourself. These vibrations attract similar vibrations, which manifest as circumstances. Just like you feel good when you have health, you feel good when you're connecting with your core energy. Whenever you don't feel happy and peaceful, you're simply disconnecting from your source. It's all pretty simple - your mood determines what happens to you!

So, use the law of substitution. If you catch yourself talking or thinking about conditions, circumstances, or things you don't want-- remember all negative emotions and moods are simply the result of focusing on them. You must turn your attention to what you DO WANT. Your heart's desire is the reason you're in physical form. You're here for the cosmic purpose of creative fulfillment. You're supposed to be happy, joyful, peaceful, and blissful while enjoying your physicality. This world is your own field of dreams. You can make it anything you want it to be as long as you remember, "Your mood determines what happens to you."

Much Love and Success,
Peter

God's Body
--Author Unknown

You are all My Limbs, nourished by Me. You constitute GOD's Body. God will send you sustenance, wherever you are, whatever your function, provided you give GOD the things GOD considers sweet and desirable, like virtue, faith, discipline and humility. Be happy that you are a limb of GOD'S Body.

Do not complain that you are the foot and so have to tread the hard ground. Do not be proud that you are the head and so, up and above others. It is the same bloodstream, the stream of LOVE that circulates in both; the function of each is as valuable as the function of every other limb. The function of each limb is also unique, remember; so do not give room to despondency. Your part is something special, which only you can play. You cannot walk on your head; you cannot think with your feet. Whatever your position, win Grace by your virtue, that is the main gain.
