Posted on Sep 19th, 2006 by ღSÃ¥mmêღ : ♥artlover♥ ღSåmmêღ
Pennies

VOTE for this Project at Digg.com by clicking on their "Digg" button.  Thank you!
September 19 at 2:28 AM.  You can post any kind thoughts, short or long.  Give blessings to the world.  Make your posts and I will add the pennies.  Come back and post everyday for a good cause.  Just scroll down to the end of this page or press the "End" button on your keyboard to take you instantly to the "Add Comments" button for you to be able to post your thoughts which will add to the penny I have to give out to charity.  GOAL: 5,000 Thoughts posted by January 1, 2007.  In order to reach that goal we must have at least 50 posts everyday until the project end date.  Please let me know if you would like to give a matching grant.
With all due respect, I know that your thoughts are worth more than a penny that is why at the end of this project a lucky participant will be given a surprise generous gift.
Just a note on posting for those who are new.  In order to see the comments you have to click on the "comments" link below.  The "Add Comment" button is at the end of the posts of comments.  When you make a post and would like to make another post, you have to click on your "refresh" button on your server in order for you to see the "Add Comment" button again.

Om Mani Padme Hum Om Mani Padme Hum Om Mani Padme Hum
Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. Viewing the written form of the mantra is said to have the same effect – it is often carved into stones, and placed where people can see them.

ROD spelled backwards is DOR… kinda like the dors of perception… well, alright… without an “O”… I think it ended up in some kid's bowl of Cheerios and accidentally eaten.

Another thought?

When you look at Rod's avatar, he looks like the guy from Midnight Oil with something on his head… until you click on it and go look at the bigger picture.

It's funny how seeing a “bigger picture” changes a lot of small impressions.

THE LUCKY PENNY
Some people would like to see the United States stop producing the one-cent piece. They say pennies are a nuisance, and they point out that they cost more to make than their one-cent value.

But a survey by Coinstar, a company that makes coin-exchange machines, says 65 percent of people polled favored keeping the penny in circulation. And groups such as Americans for Common Cents say they don't want to lose their cents.
At least for now, it appears the penny's luck is holding out.

The Noble Eightfold Path is essentially a practical guide of ethics, mental rehabilitation and mind deconditioning, and is believed, by Buddhists, to result in an end to dukkha, or suffering, which is a goal that has informed and driven the entire Buddhist tradition since its inception 2500 years ago. As the name indicates, there are eight elements in the Noble Eightfold Path, and these are further subdivided into three basic categories as follows:

* Wisdom

 1. Right understanding
 2. Right intention

* Ethical conduct
3. Right speech
4. Right action
5. Right livelihood

 * Mental discipline
6. Right effort
7. Right mindfulness
8. Right concentration

Your outer world of form and experience is a reflection of your inner world of thoughts and feelings.  As above, so below.  As within, so without.  That is the law.

The greater your awareness of the Presence of God within you, the more the Presence fills your consciousness. That is the law.

The deeper your understanding of Spirit as the Source, Substance, and Activity of your supply, the more permanently that Truth will be etched in your consciousness.  That is the law.

God is lavish, unfailing Abundance, the rich omnipresent substance of the Universe.  This all-providing Source of infinite prosperity is individualized as me - the Reality of me.

I am conscius of the Inner Presence as my lavish Abundance.  I am conscious of the constant activity of this Mind of Infinite Prosperity.  Therefore, my consciousness is filled with the Light of Truth.

Through my consciousness of my God-self, the Christ within, the Buddha within, as my Source, I draw into my mind and feeling nature the very substance of Spirit.  This substance is my supply; thus, my consciousness of the Presence of God within me is my supply.

Money is not my supply.  No person, place, or condition is my supply.  My awareness, understanding, and knowledge of the all providing activity of the Divine Mind within me is my supply.  My consciousness of this Truth is unlimited; therefore, my supply is unlimited.

zen : angel

zen said

The Divine Consciousness that I am is forever expressing its true nature of Abundance.  This is its responsibility, not mine.  My only responsibility is to be aware of this Truth.  Therefore, I am totally confident in letting go and letting God appear as the abundant all-sufficiency in my life and affairs.

zen : angel

zen said

My consciousness of the Spirit within me as my unlimited Source is the Divine Power to restore the years the locusts have eaten, to make all things new, to lift me up to the High Road of abundant prosperity.  This awareness, understanding, and knowledge of Spirit appears as every visible form and experience that I could possibly desire.

zen : angel

zen said

When I am aware of the God-Self within me as my total fulfillment, I am totally fulfilled.  I am now aware of this Truth.  I have found the secret of life, and I relax in the knowledge that the Activity of Divine Abundance is eternally operating in my life.  I simply have to be aware of the flow, the radiation, of that Creative Energy, which is continuously, easily, and effortlessly pouring forth from my Divine Consciousness.  I am now aware.  I am in the flow.

zen said

I keep my mind and thoughts off  “this world,” and I place my entire focus on God within as the only Cause of my prosperity.  I acknowledge the Inner Presence as the only activity in my financial affairs, as the substance of all things visible.  I place my faith in the Principle of Abundance in action within me.
