Adjustments

I realized something today as I was thinking about how it's only been a week and I can't keep up with posting all these mantras every day. I said to myself, "Self, you'd better get busy! You're slackin'! Don't you see that you need to stay on top of these mantras, so that every day you can release all the stress that builds up from the pressures coming your way?"

"Wait     a      min-ute....."

So, here's the new deal. I will continue to post mantras, and I'll do them DAY 1, DAY 2, etc. But it may take a while to get to a week, month and so forth. I imagine that this blog won't be found by most (if any) until I have a good amount already up. Hopefully, it will be a satisfactory collection for you by then.

Week 1 Day 4 (B)

Alma 5:28
"Behold, are ye stripped of pride? I say unto you, if ye are not ye are not prepared to meet God. Behold ye must prepare quickly; for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand, and such an one hath not eternal life."

Week 1 Day 4 (A)

Today's Mantra

THIS DAY IS THE TIME TO PREPARE TO MEET GOD

Don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow
Why put it off another day?
One by one, little problems
Build up, and stand in our way. Oh

One step ahead, one step behind it
Now ya gotta run to get even
Make future plans I'll dream about yesterday, hey!
Come on turn, turn this thing around

(Right now) Hey! It's your tomorrow
(Right now) Come on, it's everything
(Right now) Catch your magic moment
Do it right here and now
It means everything

Van Halen, Right Now

In a blog fog

So it turns out that I have an inner ear infection. Nice timing! It's no wonder that I was so distracted during meditation. I'm glad to discover this, because I was beginning to think "Nirvana" consisted of constant high-pitched humming in my ear, dizziness and an overall feeling of being "spaced out." If I want to do that, I'll turn on Sponge Bob!

I have been a slacker and missed today's mantra and thought. But I will get it up shortly, and you won't be able to tell the difference (unless you have been following in real time, and there aren't any of you who do, so no loss).

By the way, I have to give major kudos to my spouse. They have been supportive and willing to participate in this experiment. Just so the world knows, I love you! Thank you for being there. Always.

Week 1 Day 3 (B)

“The Light is more than some abstract, unknowable energy force. Light is Truth. If Light is truth, then darkness must be lies. Each and every lie we tell to ourselves and others casts the shadow of separation upon us. Every time even the most minor deception is revealed and the truth is made known we are re-united with the Light. So, Let there be Light. Those are the words by which you can create your own magnificent world.”

Week 1 Day 3 (A)

Today's Mantra

IF MY EYE IS SINGLE, MY BODY IS LIGHT.

Alma 5:15

Do ye exercise faith in the redemption of him who created you? Do you look forward with an eye of faith, and view this mortal body raised in immortality, and this corruption raised in incorruption, to stand before God to be judged according to the deeds which have been done in the the mortal body"?

Week 1 Day 2 (B)

Helaman 14:29

"And this to the intent that whosoever will believe might be saved, and that whosoever will not believe, a righteous judgment might come upon them; and also if they are condemned they bring upon themselves their own condemnation."
