'Action' is the energy of the week!

[dolphindream]

Hello Everyone!

I have been told that if you hear or see something three or more times....Spirit is communicating with you in a way that you can not miss it.  Well I received two newsletters this week about 'action'...and one of them was Anisa's newsletter (an excellet example of 'Divine Right Action') and then the other one was from Inner Expansion (a workshop for your soul).  I also just  finished watching Oprah and 'action' was discussed as well. Then just minutes ago I read an e-mail I received today from Higher Awareness titled: ' Fill Up Your TanK '....interestingly enough it is about taking 'action'....hmmmmmmmm

I pasted it below because I really wanted to share this with all of you.  I would love to hear what your feelings are when you read it.  I also recommend re-reading Anisa's newsletter from this week.  I think this will create a great discussion!  HERE IT IS:

Fill up your tank

“How do we keep our inner fire alive? Two things, at minimum, are needed: an ability to appreciate the positives in our life – and a commitment to action. Every day, it’s important to ask and answer these questions: ‘What’s good in my life?’ and ‘What needs to be done?’”

-- Nathaniel Branden

I have found there’s a very different quality to my action when it springs from a sense of abundance as opposed to a feeling of being impoverished.

When I sense I’m not good enough or that I don’t have enough, I feel driven to be better and to have more. Whatever I do takes effort – there’s an element of struggle involved. And this makes sense because there’s no fuel – I’m working on an empty tank.

When I’m feeling abundant, I act out of my own inspiration. I’m rich and full and so the energy flows naturally. This action at times feels almost effortless.

It's important to remember that we don't need money to be abundant. All we need is appreciation of all that we have.

“ ...what I focus on in life is what I get. And if I concentrate on how bad I am or how wrong I am or how inadequate I am, if I concentrate on what I can’t do and how there’s not enough time in which to do it, isn’t that what I get every time? And when I think about how powerful I am, and when I think about what I have left to contribute, and when I think about the difference I can make on this planet, then that’s what I get. You see, I recognize that it’s not what happens to you; it’s what you do about it.”

-- W. Mitchell

Hello Desiree,
What an interesting post , i too watched the oprah (on whatanicewebsite.com ), the concept of three for three is great .
I fear that many who watch 'the secret' might think that just having a vision and feeling good about it is enough,,,
In addition to thought/feeling/action i would add : discipline.
In therapy we say :it will work if you will work .
In other words , any form of therapy works for some of the people some of the time , be it EFT; yoga; meditation; visualizations;  Reiki etc.
But you have to show up and you have to practice.....
The advice given to the single mom about having a sum of money deducted automatically as an action towards getting out of debt was excellent .
p.s thanks for passing on Anisa's message . I am no sure where to send  my address  to.
Don't you think it is cute that she asked you to pass this on to me ...

Hi Ronit~
Yes...as with anything practice makes perfect!  But..I think the beauty of the LOA (and all of the Universal Laws) is that once you tap into them, understand them, and align your 'being' with them, it really is not 'work' but a Universal flow of possibilities.  How many books have we read that said if you do this, then this, then this., then this, to go from point A to point B you must do this, etc...you will be a millionaire.  By time you get done reading all of this you are exhausted, frustrated, and you have not come close to what it was the you picked the book up for in the first place.   The Universal laws make no mistakes.  That is why it is so important to know them and understand them.  They not only assist us in the life we desire to live (which is our birthright!) but these Laws help us understand the dynamics of the Universe we are participating in.  Rev Michael excplained it so beautifully when he said we are participants, not anticipating and waiting for the good to show up.  The good, the love, the beauty of life is ALREADY HERE in this moment.   Taking action is being a PARTICIPANT in life.  Being of service to others, loving unconditionally, and trusting that our Creator designed us in and of perfection.  All is good!

Ronit....e-mail   support@creatavision.com   and give Anisa your address there!

Thanks Desiree !

I was just thinking about this the other day!

Well, action is the one ingredient that I could never add to my manifesting attempts. And the reason is pretty simple: I only like to dream about impossible things (at least for myself, personally). I think the most boring thing in the world is dreaming to have a new cell phone when all you have to do is go to the store and get it, because you already have the money.  You know the expression : ''I did all that was humanly possible''? Well the things that I find truly fascinating are the dreams in which you can phisically do nothing, you just have to work with your soul and feelings. I know it's painful but I believe that the more it hurts not having it, the bigger the victory will be when you get it. And that, of course you can achieve by believing truly that you can.

But can you? That's my question: can you achieve something purely by the power of your soul and beliefs with absolutely no action?

Thank you for starting this thread, D!

Hello Almatha~
Wonderful to see you.  You posed a very good question!

The word 'action' defined by Mr Webster
  Main Entry: ac·tion
Pronunciation: 'ak-sh&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English accioun, from Anglo-French accion, from Latin action-, actio, from agere to do -- more at AGENT
1 : the initiating of a proceeding in a court of justice by which one demands or enforces one's right; also : the proceeding itself
2 : the bringing about of an alteration by force or through a natural agency
3 : the manner or method of performing: a : an actor's or speaker's deportment or expression by means of attitude, voice, and gesture b : the style of movement of the feet and legs (as of a horse) c : a function of the body or one of its parts
4 : an act of will
5 a : a thing done : DEED b : the accomplishment of a thing usually over a period of time, in stages, or with the possibility of repetition c plural : BEHAVIOR, CONDUCT <unscrupulous actions> d : INITIATIVE, ENTERPRISE <a man of action>

8 a : the price movement and trading volume of a commodity, security, or market b : the process of betting including the offering and acceptance of a bet and determination of a winner c : financial gain or an opportunity for financial gain <a piece of the action>
9 : sexual activity
10 : the most vigorous, productive, or exciting activity in a particular field, area, or group <they itch to go where the action is -- D. J. Henahan>

Sorry to paste the whole thing but....if you look at the different definitions (and there are several) you can see that 'action' takes on the meaning of what it is you are doing.  Make Sense?

So..just like Anisa explained in her article.....If you want to win the lottery ....you would take the action to go buy the ticket.
Another example.....of taking action is...by putting your energy into what you are asking for.  Thoughts, Words, Actions.  If you are asking for money.....then your action would be to affirm that you need money for ___________? (fill in the blanks) so you have taken the action to bring the thought forward.  Now....here is where paying attention is so important.  You may get an idea to call someone or read a newspaper or what ever....and the 'action' you take by doing this....may be the way you are led to that money you need.  Or it could be that you get this urge to go get the mail....and in the mail there is a check that you were not expecting.
However you look at it....you are taking action.   Then there will be times that you take action and you feel that nothing is coming from it.  This is a no-no!  Whatever action you take and you are making an effort....the Universe will bring to you what you are asking for....because you took the action and made the effort.  Going back to one of the posts (can't remember which one!) but we talked about "allowing' the Universe to respond and deliver.....without setting our own ideas how it will manifest.   We just believe that the Universe will deliver and allow it to happen.

We could right a small novela on taking action.   We are constantly taking actions every day of our lives.   We need to pay attention, follow our higher-self, and know when we are taking the RIGHT ACTION....because we will feel it....we will get that GOOD FEELING that we are taking the right steps.   When we take action....and it seems to sabotage what it is we are asking for...then this becomes the LESSON....and we learn how we are responding to the Universe and how the Universe responds to us!

It sounds complicated...but once you get in the flow...you just 'understand' it.  Also, I know I have said this before... but journaling your successes and your lessons...........bring HUGE INSIGHT to all of this!  It is a way to see your own recipe's...and how it works for YOU!  My journal is titled...My book of Light.  Maybe you can call yours ..Almathea's Perfect Recipe Book of LOVE, LIGHT & Life!    I LOVE THAT!        Anyhow..........just a thought!      Did this help?

ALSO....read the definitions above....and you can see how action will apply to what is is you are attracting! 

[Almathea]

Great to see you too, Desiree!

And yes, your post really helped. It's great to hear that even the slightest effort is considered action. Gosh, I've got so many questions all I ever do on this board is ask!
I think I'm going to start journaling too. And your idea of a title is the best starting point!

[dolphindream]

Hi Almathea....questions are always good. When we ask...we receive!  I am glad I was of some help.  Sometimes I get on a topic....and the topic evolves!   It's all good!  I know you will enjoy journaling.  It is so cool to go back and reflect on your entries.  Some of my fondest moments have been reading what I have written.  It is awesome!   Things just click!

May your day be filled with blessings!

Hello , where have you all disappeared to
this weekend attended a 2 day seminar  second level EFT . wonderful !!!

[Almathea]

Hey ronit!

I'm here, just don't know what to talk about... So, tell us about the seminar.

[dolphindream]

Hello Everyone...
Good to see you!  So...Ronit level 2 eft...cooool!  What did you learn?  Anyhting you can share with us? 
Almathea....how have you been?  Have you started journaling?  When I started,  I would write about anything and everything. How I was feeling, givinge thanks and gratitude, sharing my day......taking action!

Hope all is well..we have had rain the last two days. I  know this is going to sound crazy...but I took my Christmas tree down yesterday.  It was of course not a real one, but it is only about 4 ft tall and it is covered with angels. I always have a hard time taking it down..last year it was up until April.  Thought I would make a change!  I also finished my website (formatted 10 pages).  It is just an info site...and is still evolving.....but it is starting to shape up!  I have links to my favorite sites for soul growth and lots of angel graphics!   I still have more links to add...and I dedicated a page for others to share LIFE or businesses....or whatever their heart desires.   Thats about it......bought a ticket to the  new California Lottery Raffle........the final drawing is on March 17th......St Patty's Day.....ahhhh yes....luck of the Irish!  I took action...LOL!!!!!!

[Almathea]

Hey Desiree! Very nice to see you again. Yes, I have started jornaling but I have sooo many thoughts to write... so little time (I have to do a lot of studying for my exams) and virtually no privacy (I'll be 15 years old in 8 days, I'm sure you know what I mean ). But I wrote on the first page the title you suggested and wrote a few thoughts about the past days. It is a great way to share your ideas but still keep them a secret, I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier!

And some random stuff from my corner of the world: it's been raining here too (call me wierd but I love rain). And... You have a website? That is sooo cool, I do too! Except mine is a fan art graphics site. You can visit by clicking on the banner in my signature. And you must give me the address to yours. Can't wait to see it!

Hope you win that lottery!

Alamthea~
You are going to be 15!  Ahhhh...too be young again!  You are the same age as my youngest son (you are intelligent like him too!)
Are you trying to graduate early? 
I am so pleased you started journaling.  You will look forward to the private time of doing this. It really is a wonderful way to reflect on your inner-self and all that you are thankful for!  Don't foprget to journal the littlest manifestations....because this will give you great insight!   Congrats!

checked out your site...very well done!..I sent you an e-mail!

L&L,
Desiree

[Almathea]

Hey Desiree! No, I'm not trying to graduate early, I'm in the 8th grade and will be starting high school this autumn.
Oh and thanks I'm glad you like my site. I checked out yours too and it is awesome. Can't wait to have some free time to read everything.

[dolphindream]

Almathea~   Please share your  success story  about your class time manifestation,  under the blog "Successes" that you started.  These are those little thoughts that show how powerful we are!    What was that saying again......oh yes...YOU GO GIRL!
