My SIL has lent me her CDs of the Abraham-Hicks Art of Allowing Workshops. On one of these CDs Ester Hicks channels the Abraham entity regarding setting goals far enough "out there" that you get excited about them, but not so far or grandiose that they're unbelievable and discourage you as to achievablity. The trick is getting into the flow of continuous internal inspiration that carries you forward toward your goals that you truly believe are achievable.

If a project or goal really juices me up, I charge hard toward it. And sometimes mid-project, if there's no "official" deadline, I let the day-to-day living and need for stimulation/inspiration start to lengthen the achieving of a given goal. I look everywhere but within for my daily dose of juice for the project and start looking out "there" for inspiration. A new idea will inevitably pop up that gives me a shot of immense possibilities and away I go with it. When I'm excited about a goal/project I think I can do anything, and I love that feeling. As I hold onto that exciting, inspiring feeling, I indeed DO. Things flow. Time truncates. Abraham would say that I'm in vibrational alignment with who I really am. I don't fixate on what I haven't done or achieved. I'm in the flow of creation. Abraham says that if you've been taught to condemn yourself for any behavior [such as not finishing a project or changing your mind about a particular goal], you don't have a chance of connecting with Source, your true self and inspiration. Abraham reminds us that we can choose what to think or focus on and that life is supposed to be fun. Sounds good to me. So, that in mind, I can thoroughly enjoy the fun new project that I'm working on, and use that excitement and inspiration to juice the other paused projects--if I want to.

I've been listening to Coast to Coast radio since Art Bell was a die hard conservative and it was called the Art Bell Show, then Dreamland in the early nineties. Since that time, Art's come and gone and come back again. George Noory hosts the show now and I have to say I've nicely worked my way through Art Withdrawal. I like George's voice, his approach and his apparent nonjudgmental acceptance of most callers and interviewees. I'd never heard him be harsh with anyone, so when I heard him get--let's say, very frustrated with Gary R. Renard a couple of years ago, I was stunned. Like most of the interviewees, Gary was simply trying to get his message across about his new book, The Disappearance of the Universe, based upon his personal experience as a student of A Course in Miracles. George cut the interview short and I immediately ordered Gary's book.

I've read The Disappearance of the Universe (DU) entirely many times and continue to study it. I must say that it may have changed my life, if not the way I think about most things. I recommend it highly. Twenty years ago I bought A Course in Miracles, but found that while I thought the concepts were right on, I just couldn't create the self discipline/time to work through them as a serious student. Guess I was waiting for DU to break it down for me. Gary's new book, Your Immortal Reality, is a continuation of his experience with the Course and the two Ascended Masters, Arten and Pursah, who appear in physical form and teach him.

The Today's Creative Inspiration on the homepage is paraphrased from page 121 in Your Immortal Reality. Rather than review or tell what the book is about, I suggest that you get your own and read, read, apply, apply. I begin by making notes as I work through the books. Then I like to sum up for myself the concepts I get. I've listed some "study" or think points I'm squeezing the juice out of from this study go that I can apply to my creation. These are my own understanding of the material on my initial read, and should not be taken as anything more or less.

Do things
Play your part
Be normal and kind
Focus on the cause instead of the effect
Enjoy, have fun and give your work/creation as a gift to God
Enjoy your success
Be happy
Forgive whenever it feels appropriate
Stop reacting

That's what I've got to personally work with so far. I wish you (and me) inspired reading and application of Your Immortal Reality. Thanks, Gary, for another great and inspiring book!
