Your inspired program

By Deborah Arndt Leave a Comment

Create what you most want. Get wrapped up in your intention.

Something you wake to and have faith in, that’s what we want for you.

We’re wondering with you what will happen next in your lives. What are you the keeper of, if not yourself? When do you come to terms with your higher self? We may be coming across as negative or maybe even too inquisitive, but we are for you. Oh yes, we really are, and only want what’s best for you! Never lose faith in that.

Now, we want you to think about your day as having a sort of program attached to it. Something you wake to and have faith in and know it will work for you. That’s what we want for you. If you think we are making this up, we’ll we are. We’re trying to roll with you and how you think about things. So, if you wake up on a morning and wonder how your day will go, then we think you will profit from this little post that can change your world. It really can!

What do we mean by that? We mean you can get more creative in the sense you are going with it, rolling along with your ideas, even your mood, but you are adding something more. You are engaging with what we like to call a program … a program of thought, a self-organizing premise that says, I can follow a pattern I have established for myself, and see where I can go with it. I can achieve a higher place … more what I want to achieve, and go to bed smiling, as it were. That’s what we want for you.

A self organizing premise that says … I can achieve a higher place.

Get organized

Why do we call it a program? Doesn’t that sound a little formal if not off-putting altogether? No, that’s not our intention, we are trying to clue you in to the possibility of structured thinking, and having faith in the continuity of things around you supporting you with purpose wrapped up in your intention. Can you begin to understand that? Can you conceive of a big program in the sky, for instance, that beckons you or takes shape for you that says, try this out and see if it fits into your day, your life, and the way you would like to see things.

Do you feel that it might be a good idea to get organized, and give this a chance? Perhaps you will come to better understanding about how everything works. No, it’s not slapdash, a gamble, or precarious. That’s not what the universe is about. It’s unified, if anything, and is looking for, or is in alignment with, as another way to say it, clear intentions clearly launched that say, I will do this. I wish to accomplish that. I’m on my way to this. I see myself as achieving that. I’m feeling good now, and expect more of the same.

Now, everything can line up like so many bowling pins ready for you to make your powerful and expert strike, as a way to see it. Would you like that, and could you go with that line of thought and that kind of thinking? That’s what we’re trying to say to you, and to come across with.

A giant billboard

Where you doubt, is where you overthink so much. No, we aren’t saying you shouldn’t use your mentality in all this, but to begin to see the shape of higher things, things you may have missed or not noticed along the way. Can a day pass when you don’t wonder about this? Wondering if everyone is just this side of missing out on the big picture. We know you think this when you hear of bad news or a missed step that could have been avoided. What were they thinking about? Then you might apply that thinking and ask, what might I be missing in this moment? Could I be making my children more safe, doing more for myself and my partner, looking ahead, reading signposts more faithfully? That’s what we mean.

Now, we are offering you a giant billboard with the words, Think Program! A viable program or other means you think up, of offering your thoughts at the start of the day, for example, of what you would like to experience and how you will arrive there. What elements around you and resources available to you will you use to accomplish this, or hope to use? That’s what we’re talking about.

Now, will you try this? We will write more about this, so keep tuned in to learn more. For now, just rest easy, and give this some thought, perhaps run it up the flagpole to see what you might discover.

With love, your teachers

Another day

By Deborah Arndt Leave a Comment

Achieve what you want in each day. Profit yourself in the best sense.

Fulfill yourself in ways you may have forgotten about, or have given up on.

When you are wondering what you want from this day, and the next to come, and so forth, we hope you will come to our door … our door of understanding, as another way to say it. We are here to profit you in the best sense of that word.

We write about this in our works. What do we mean by that? Do we come all this way offering the best of ourselves in order not to bring you good news, or help you in some way? What would be the point of that? We are always seeking new ways to reach you, and we know where you are! We mean that a bit tongue in cheek, but there is validity in that we know what is concerning or worrying you and how brightly you are shining in your world or life. We so want that for you. We know if you are dimming your lights, so to speak, or offering it to a point of radiance outward! What does this mean? It means another day can go from “Ho-hum, nothing much is happening,” to “Wow, can I get more of this? What comes next and how do I get in on it?”

Shine brightly in your world and your life

We love it when that happens! Your time in each day in that sense is not wasted, but is being fulfilled. You are fulfilling yourself in ways you may have forgotten about, or have given up on. But we ask, how can you not concern yourself with you? That doesn’t make sense to us. It should be your central motif, first, and central concern… you, and everything else flows from that.

It’s hard to conceive of that, as it seems to reverse learning you’ve received from your past that says, “Do the other guy a good turn first, then think about yourself,” or something akin to that. What we’re saying is that when you put yourself front and center, and offer to yourself the best of everything available in the wide wide universe, then others benefit, too. If you think we mean material things, in some cases that’s the case, but most of the time, we mean to put material possessions and thoughts about acquisition aside for awhile, and concentrate on what part of yourself is being fed, nourished from within, with all that you need to flourish. That is true treasure after all. The kind you were seeking all along.

That’s true treasure … the kind you are seeking.

As a new day approaches and dawns in your life, you may want to steer your thoughts in that direction, “What am I doing in this day to make it a better experience for myself? What am I, as a consequence, offering to others? Can I see the benefit? Can I hold on to that and use it as a first step or rung on my life ladder to regain my faith in myself, the world around me, and my fellow humanity?

Then you are so able to go from there, as the saying goes. So, where are you going? Have you the intention to go somewhere great? Do you have a plan for that? These are all questions to ponder, and we are always here for you. Please explore our books and philosophy. What might you be missing out on otherwise?

Life guidance: today is the day

By Deborah Arndt

Moving you to higher ground

We’re makers of something wonderful for you.

Imagine you are on a hike and come to a forest you’ve never explored. Would you stop to wonder, “Will it be challenging to get through? Will there be shafts of light to help me? Will I like what I experience?” This is really no different than each day of your life. You approach each one where you’re unsure of the outcome or experience you will have. Can you see where this places you at a disadvantage?

Not that we don’t like adventure and discovery. We know hiking to new places can bring that. Yet we would want a guide or map so we can anticipate pitfalls, even literally as we progress. You aren’t after all looking to fall, but to progress! Going without a map or guide might seem fearless, but could result in an outcome you don’t want.

Deborah remembers hiking through a dense forest and going off trail. While navigating back through thick undergrowth, she found herself standing precariously on the edge of a steep ravine. She grabbed hold of her dog’s leash to help step back quickly. After taking a moment to appreciate her dog, Aggie, she thought to herself, “Next time, bring a map!”

How is your life experience any different where you don’t arm yourself with foreknowledge, as a way to say it, and how is this possible anyway? You might wonder what we’re getting at here. Are we somehow able to chart the future, or open pathways for you? What are we talking about?

Actually, we’re makers of something wonderful for you: guidebooks filled with ways to navigate through your days. And more than that … achieve destinations you want.

It may seem impossible, but that’s the business we’re in. Not to see you falling over cliffs, but to move you to higher ground. In fact, to help you maintain that higher ground, sure footed, and assured to reach your destination with as little discomfort or upset as possible. Not one jot is taken away from the high adventure and discovery which many of you seek, but meted out in a way that you can truly profit from it, absorb, and delight in. In this way you are uplifted.

Assisted and succeeding

Imagine falling, and noticing on the way down how beautiful the night sky is? That’s what we mean. What good would that do you? Wouldn’t you rather notice the beauty of the night sky where you are comfortable, secure, or most able to appreciate it? That’s we are offering.

Why spend each day moving forward into circumstances where you are unsure of the outcome? Wouldn’t you rather have a happy outline or chart before you assuring you of outcomes you want and will most benefit from?

Nothing is certain, we can guarantee. But much can be predicted with accuracy where you observe what we are teaching—that you create forward into your experience, so what can lead you is what you are focused upon and specifically what thoughts you are offering. In that case, you need no guidebook per se, but the shining light overhead that is fueled through your radiant outward thoughts shedding a light ahead and forecasting pleasant conditions. That is really what you want.

But you question this and prefer to go it alone relying on instinct, luck, or whichever way the wind is blowing. That’s where you are at a disadvantage. We would want so much more for you. Why not get started and explore our Simple, Beautiful Philosophy books written with your life journey in mind! We offer formulas, you might say, that can serve you for a lifetime and in no way take away from your faith perspective. We are not in the business of shifting you but to add more—answering you, and bulwarking what you have already know. We are more like servants … here to shine light and offer fresh pathways for the journey you are already on, not to move you off somewhere else you don’t want to be, or be in any way condescending.

We offer you fresh hope and pathways through our words that are based after all on millennia of experience. Like you, we led lives where we asked and have now been answered. So we can pass this knowledge on to you in the full anticipation that you too can experience something better, even surpassing.

So, let today be the day you get on board and get reading what we have to offer you, inviting you to a better prospect and higher ground all the way. –Your teachers

Overcoming worry

By Deborah Arndt

Offering different thought

There is no offsetting the fervent thought you offer that something else can be true.

fear and worry

We are here for you as usual and wanting the best for you. But are you doing your part, too? When anxious worry overwhelms you, what are you offering as contrasting thought? Are you moving ahead with new or different ideas?

A case in point: say, you are overwhelmed with worry for the well-being of someone you know, and now he/she is unwell possibly due to the Covid virus. What are you to do? Will you move the world around and try to undo what is done? Or will you offer different, ample thought that registers as love, as a hug or embrace might do?

When you envelop what you are thinking … embrace what you are thinking with a new thought and offer that as hard as you do anything you feel fervently about, then you start to change things around. Do you understand?

There is no offsetting that powerful, fervent thought you offer that says, “Something different can also be true  … that they will be well and go on flourishing as they have done.” You are the maker of these thoughts and the outcomes that go along with them. No, you don’t inhabit or change the experience of others, but you are a forceful agent just the same of any outcome where you apply the thought we are talking about.

You could think of yourself as an agent for change in that sense, but first you must change yourself.

What does that involve? Well, that is why we have written these many books for you to explore. You may need time to delve into these themes that, after all, challenge many of your current beliefs. Take the time, leisurely even, to explore the rich panorama, the array before you of ideas and concepts we are floating out to you. Then, dive deep and swim with broad, hard strokes to get where you want to go. The getting there isn’t always easy, but it is extremely satisfying, and then you are more awakened than ever before if that is what you are seeking.

We are very strident about these things when talking to Deborah who asks about these matters regularly. We are making the point that her worry and anxiety belong to her, not to the situation she is imagining or has in mind. Is that becoming clearer for you? We urge you to read and find out more about these topics of importance in your lives.

Lovingly assisting you – your teachers

When doubt prevails

By Deborah Arndt

Offering thoughts of benefit and well-being.

Now is your time to be calm and draw your breath of life from the source of all good and all God.

lighthouse

We are not by nature doubters. How could we be? We must believe as if there is no other thing, no other activity, and no other purpose worth the doing. We are, you could say, adamant about that. What good will it do to teach what we are teaching and then say, ‘Hey, there is this one caveat … one exception to the whole deal'”? What if we started to list what doesn’t pertain or isn’t true about what we are saying and in any given situation? What good would that do you, or us, for that matter?

We are not here lying to you or trying to convince you of something that is not good for you. We have no axes to grind, and we are not followers of some sect or observance that makes no sense either to you or your society. No, we are here now with you and we have you by the hand, you could say, or you could think about it that way. We have you by the hand, as did your loving parents or other guides and helpers in your life. You know who they are. You can give in to that impulse to have your hand taken, and be led out into the sunlight once again. You do not have to feel any shame or even any confusion. For we are with you now. We are never separate from you and we never leave.

But what do we do when you are in the trenches, so to speak? Do we abandon you, and go off somewhere and have our nails done or hair arranged, or order up a new set of clothes, or feast on a meal somewhere, and then return pompous and sure that you have been just fine and didn’t need us, and then arrogantly ask, “Well how is it going? Did you figure out everything you needed to? Did you get what you needed and wanted? Did you take care of any grief or worry?” That is not how we operate. We just simply are. We never vary and never leave you, and there is no variation in that truth.

Now, can you believe that? If we tell you that belief is bedrock, as we have clarified in our works, how can we contradict that by saying that belief is a variable and you can accept things or not, but whatever you choose, things will simply go your way if you want them to? That is not a way to go forward. We do not want that for you. You must commit something of yourself to the process and that commitment should be to believe in something, whatever it is. And we hope it will be something for good and for the prosperous caring and well-being of all those around you.

When you are first in your mind with care and concern for your own blessed and grace-filled well-being, then you can outstretch that well-being to others. You can benefit the whole world in that way as you would see, and as we are teaching.

Why can’t we reach you? If you are unreachable, which is really impossible, and the possibility really doesn’t exist because all is this dynamic of change and expansion, and you are part of that. So, how could you stay in just one place, believing just one thing for all time? Even our philosophy must be tested, and you must continue to test and adapt to the times and situations you are in. Although all we tell you is true, and true for all time, even you must admit that your experiences vary and change, and feel, and look different. Now, don’t they? But the truth behind them never varies.

That is an all-important principle to believe in and to grasp. You must try to grasp this. You could choose just to accept it, and let it roll around a bit in your mind and life to see how it pans out. Or you could apply it to all that you ever think about, and care about, and see how this holds true for you.

Either way, we know that what we teach is bedrock truth, and is the basis for your reality because there is nothing more real, no …. nowhere in that great and vast universe out there! There is nothing more real. 

So how and why do you attribute so much power to just one person, or one event, or one condition? Why would you do that? You must see that we are all in this together, and no one has supremacy or can topple the world or even topple you, if you do not allow it to happen. And that work must start way back somewhere in your heart and mind.

Time is not important so that if you missed out on this education as a child, you can still garner all the knowledge, help, and support you need now, no matter your age, no matter where you are, and what is happening. You can start applying this truth now to get the results you need, no matter who is in charge or what is happening to you.

We have no axes to grind as we have said, for we are not in this for gain, but for you and your well-being. Have you never tested a proposition, theory, or teaching? Did you not ask first, “What’s in it for me? What good will it do to focus on the whole world, if I die to myself, or shrivel in the process where I am no longer me, no longer important, and no longer of worth or value?” And so forth and more views similar to this?

That is what we are driving at—- no proposition, however worthy or meritorious sounding or appearing it may be, can undermine the essential “you” and your great value and validity in all things. For you are our dearest children.

There is no going back on that proposition, my children. You are ours, and we are yours in the greatest sense of things. We are in this together and can never let each other down, not in any meaningful way. For you are eternal, and you are inspired by All-that-is. And you are part of a greater whole than ever you can imagine right now. For you are doing important work right here and right now … just being here and wishing to be of benefit.

So, keep offering those thoughts of benefit and well-being, and draw us close and sure to your hearts, and no individual can prevail above that or steer you away from your astounding course and trajectory as God-filled and light-filled beings on your way to something better every moment you are, and in every breath you draw in. That is our promise to you. 

For those of you who worry and project worry onto situations, now is your time to be calm and draw your breath of life from the source of all good and all God. We know you know what we mean.

We are here with you now, my children. Now, prosper and be well, and be all that you are designed to be in the greater manner of things. And we will watch with adulation and joy at your recovery and your ascendancy to all that you can be, must be, and WILL! —–the teachers.

A bale tale

By Deborah Arndt

A field hand was returning home one winter’s evening and stopped to consider some bales of hay: 

“The grass grows green and sweet. It’s harvested and baled to bring nourishment to our animals.Yet it’s more than that! It can provide light and warmth. A blaze to cook a warming meal or revive a waning fire. The bale can keep you warm, make a bed to lie upon or seat to stand or sit upon.

This sweet grass brings so much more than itself, yields more! So I see thee as friend, something that does double duty, even in tough times. It’s giving silently … and is trustworthy.”

Now, isn’t this a parable for you all? Wouldn’t you want to burn brightly at all seasons and bring more of yourself. You have so much more to offer and depths within you! So here is a winter’s tale … a bale tale. But not baleful, if you get our drift.  – Your teachers
