Woman is the creator of the universe;
the universe is her form.
Woman is the foundation of the world.
She is the true form of the body.
Whatever form she takes,
whether the form of a man or a
woman,
is the superior form.
In woman is the form of all things,
of all that lives and moves in the world.
There is no jewel rarer than woman,
No condition superior to that of a
woman.
There is not, nor has been, nor will be
any destiny to equal that of a woman;
There is no Kingdom, no wealth,
to be compared with a
woman.
There is not, nor has been, nor will be
any holy place like until a woman.
There is no prayer to equal a woman.
There is not, nor has been, nor will be
any yoga to compare with a
woman,
no mystical formula nor asceticism
to match a woman.
There are not, nor have been, nor will be
any riches more valuable than woman.

God said:
When you have the sense that something wonderful is
about to happen, know that you are listening to Me. If
its a thought or wish you have, you are listening to
Me. As the world revolves, something wonderful is
happening. Something wonderful happens to your heart
when the idea of goodness befalling on you occurs to
you. That idea itself is goodness befalling. I would
give you that idea.
A movie is going to play in your town, and you have
heard about it. You glanced at a poster, perhaps
without really paying attention to it, but in your
awareness is the thought that there is a movie you
will want to see.
You are going to your favorite store or to a yard
sale, and your step quickens at the idea of something
you want being there. You may not know what it is you
specifically want, yet when you see it, you know this
is what you were looking for.
And, so, with your life, quicken your step. There is
something you are going to that you want to go to.
There is something coming your way that you want to
come your way. There is a good fortune awaiting you,
and you anticipate it. Its not that you must have it,
or it must be given to you. It is that it already has
your name on it. You simply dont know yet what corner
it is around.
Or it is like a scavenger hunt. Every treasure has
been put out for you to come across. The treasures are
there. They were put there before you came on the
scene. In a trice, you find one or more. Beloveds,
they were there long before you spotted them.
Or consider you inherit a farm. Everything has been
planted. You do not know what has been planted. You
have to guess. What was planted hasnt come up yet,
and wont you be surprised! Soon you will begin to see
sprouts. You will turn around, and you will see that
it is true, that from acorns, giant trees grow.
Or consider this a science fiction story where
instead of actually furrowing and planting, a farmer
can think the thought of a particular vegetable or
grain or fruit, and it is planted. He pictures that he
dropped the seed in the earth, and he pictures its
growth and blossoming, and he pictures himself reaping
the crop. Reaping the crop in this science fiction is
physical. All that came before was mental and
emotional. Imagine the excitement at the thought of
all you want to grow, knowing it is done, and then
simply walking through and picking the fruit!
Or, consider that you sit in a fine restaurant, and
you go over the menu. There are appetizers, salads,
side dishes, main dishes, desserts. This menu is
extensive. There is no food ever made that isnt on
this menu and also some you never heard of! You could
spend a lifetime going through this menu. Pick a few
dishes to start with. You can always order more.
Order, and then wait, knowing that your food will be
served.
Or, perhaps this is a cafeteria you go to, or a
buffet, where you serve yourself. You are entitled to
serve yourself. You have a tray, and you select the
dishes you want. You could have all of them if you
wanted. Your eyes feast on all of the beautiful foods.
You dont even have to eat them to get the joy. As you
pass by the foods you leave for someone else, it is as
if you have already had them. You are being wise to
leave some room in your stomach for the food that will
be displayed next.
Beloveds, this is how life is. Anticipate it.

Remember, that anything you give birth to forms a
natal chart. So if you ask someone to form a
partnership with you, and they agree, look at the time
of day and get a chart run. Do the same for businesses
that you launch or contracts that you sign. Each
moment that results in an agreement also results in a
birth and the prodigy will carry the energies for the
rest of its life. This holds true for any ideas that
you give life to, etc.

I've ranted before about how we need enemies so that
we can push our guilt outward and feel good about who
we are. When it's not a group of people, the enemy can
be our bodies (when my body gets sick, I feel
betrayed), or food when I'm trying to diet. Something
is always wrong with something, especially when we
don't have a proper channel for our passions. For
example, one reader recently blasted an email to me
saying she can't take this kind of irresponsible
correspondence and demanded off the mailing list. Her
complaint: too many overlooked typos! Yikes. Now that
is passion that needs a good punching bag, but for
some, the keyboard serves that purpose just fine.
This thought for the week is simply asking that we be
aware of the choices we make while under the influence
of the powerful Aries wind. Notice if you find
yourself angry, or less patient and then notice if you
always make it about something outside of you.
Competition, irritation (no matter how small), and
self-criticism are all forms of anger. Is that the
best use of this passion? You'll have to decide.
Inherently, the problem with anger is that it actually
takes us away from peace. You may feel better after a
battle, but an honest look into your deeper psyche
would likely reveal more guilt, which requires more
anger to defend. It's just becomes a vicious cycle.

Process #21 Reclaiming Ones Natural State of Health
The below was excerpted from "Ask and It is Given".
When to Use This Process:
When you do not feel well
When you have been given an unsettling diagnosis
When you are feeling pain
When you want to feel more vital
When you feel a vague fear associated with your body
Current Emotional Set-Point Range
This Reclaiming One's Natural State of Health Process
will be of the most value to you when your Emotional
Set-Point is ranging somewhere between:
(10) Frustration/Irritation/Impatience and
(22) Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness
Do this process while lying in a comfortable place-the
more comfortable, the better. Choose a time when you
have approximately 15 minutes when you are not likely
to be disturbed by anyone. Now, write this short list
in a place where it will be easy for you to read, and
when you first lie down, read it slowly to yourself.
It is natural for my body to be well.
Even if I don't know what to do in order to get
better, my body does.
I have trillions of cells with individual
Consciousness, and they know how to achieve their
individual balance.
When this condition began, I didn't know what I know
now.
If I had known then what I know now, this condition
couldn't have gotten
started.
I don't need to understand the cause of this illness.
I don't need to explain how it is that I'm
experiencing this illness.
I have only to gently, eventually, release this
illness.
It doesn't matter that it got started, because it's
reversing its course right now.
It's natural that it would take some time for my body
to begin to align to my improved thoughts of
Well-Being.
There's no hurry about any of this.
My body knows what to do.
Well-Being is natural to me.
My Inner Being is intricately aware of my physical
body.
My cells are asking for what they need in order to
thrive, and Source Energy is answering those requests
.
I'm in very good hands .
I will relax now, to allow communication between my
body and my Source.
My only work is to relax and breathe.
I can do that.
I can do that easily.
Now, just lie there and enjoy the comfort of the
mattress beneath you-and focus upon your breathing-in
and out, in and out. Your goal is to be as comfortable
as possible.
Breathe as deeply as you can while still remaining
comfortable. Do not force it. Do not try to make
anything happen. There is nothing for you to do other
than to relax and breathe.
You will very likely begin to feel soft, gentle
sensations in your body. Smile, and acknowledge that
this is Source Energy specifically answering your
cellular request. You are now feeling the healing
process. Do nothing to try to help it or intensify it.
Just relax and breathe---and allow it.
If you were experiencing pain when you laid down,
follow the same process. However, if you were feeling
pain, it would be helpful for you to add these words
to your written and spoken list:
This sensation of pain is an indicator that Source is
responding to my
cellular request for Energy.
This sensation of pain is a wonderful indicator that
help is on the way.
I will relax into this sensation of pain because I
understand that it's
indicating improvement.
Now, if you can, drift off to sleep. Smile in your
knowledge that All-Is-Well. Breathe and relax---and
trust.
Abraham, Speak to Us
More about Our Physical Body
The next time you feel any discomfort, stop in the
middle of it and say to yourself, "This discomfort
that I'm feeling is nothing more than my awareness of
resistance. It's time for me to relax and breathe,
relax and breathe, relax and breathe." And you can, in
seconds, bring yourself back into comfort.
Every cell in your body has a direct relationship with
Creative Life Force, and each cell is independently
responding. When you feel joy, all the circuits are
open, so the Life Force can be fully received. When
you feel guilt, blame, fear, or anger, the circuits
are hindered and Life Force cannot flow as
effectively. Physical experience is about monitoring
those circuits and keeping them as open as possible.
Your cells know what to do; they are summoning the
Energy.
There is no condition that you cannot modify into
something more, any more than there is any painting
that you cannot repaint. There are many limiting
thoughts in the human environment that can make it
seem that these so-called incurable illnesses or
unchangeable conditions cannot not be changed. But we
say that they are only "unchangeable" because you
believe they are. Someone asked us recently, "Is there
any limitation to the body's ability to heal?" And we
said, None, other than the belief that you hold. And
he asked, "Then why aren't people growing new limbs?"
And we said, Because no one believes they can.
There's a big difference between you as the
musician and the music that you're playing in
the cosmic orchestra.
Sometimes, you'll all play together.
Sometimes, though, you'll be required to play
all alone.
And sometimes, you'll just be expected to sit
there quietly
and do absolutely nothing.
But, even your silence is part of your music, too.

I heard about a psychologist who was assigned to work
with a young man with a long history of drug
addiction. Jack showed up in Dr. Estelle Parsons
office with a thick dossier of troubles and dire
diagnoses. As Dr. Parsons began to interview Jack, he
launched into many stories and justifications for his
addictive behavior. But she did not go there with him.
"Tell me about what you did this week that was not
addictive," she summoned him. At first, Jack could not
think of much of his week unrelated to his addiction.
Then gradually, over months of therapy, Dr. Parsons
was able to elicit more and more information about the
healthy Jack. At some point the focus of the sessions
shifted from Jacks ineptitude to aspects of his life
that he had mastered. Jack began to identify with his
strength and take pride in it. Eventually he dropped
his addiction entirely. Dr. Parsons was the first
therapist who was able to accomplish this
extraordinary transformation with this patient.
We might apply this powerful technique to our
relationships. Many of us have become so steeped in
what is wrong with ourselves in relationship that
dysfunction becomes our accepted norm. We are so
expert in why we cant commit; or keep attracting
abusive partners; or how our parents poor role model
squashed our self-esteem; or why we cant forgive
ourselves or our partner; or; or; or . . . that we
talk ourselves out of the possibility of real love. As
Dr. Phil might ask, "And just how has that been
working for you?"
If your relationship is not working, I invite you to
adopt a radical attitude, perhaps one you have not
tried: You were born to enjoy a rewarding relationship
and you can have one now. And your role in creating
it? Quit complaining about what you dont want and
start celebrating what you do want -- and may already
have. The secret of relationship is the same as living
in California: Dont dwell on the faults.
There is a new field of corporate consulting that is
catching on in a powerful way. It is called
Appreciative Inquiry. In this modality, consultants do
not ask their clients what is not working and then try
to find ways to fix it; instead, they invite their
clients to talk about what is working and why.
Appreciative Inquiry practitioners have found that
once people get back on touch with the original vision
they set out to achieve in their business and find
evidence for its reality, they are able to solve
problems from an entirely more empowering perspective.
Albert Einstein noted that you can never solve a
problem from the same level the problem exits; you
must step higher so you can see the whole picture more
clearly. A Course in Miracles puts it this way: "You
cannot be your own guide to miracles, for it is you
who made them necessary in the first place."
Before you attempt to handle a personal or
relationship challenge, step onto higher ground. Get
in touch with yourself, your spirit, your higher
power. Before you try to correct, connect. Remember
who you are in your strength, not your fear or
separateness. Recall what you love and appreciate
about your partner, and why you are with them. Claim
full responsibility for igniting yourself, and let
them off the hook as the source of your joy or sorrow.
Bring a whole person to your partner, and that is who
you will call forth in them.
I did a radio interview with Dr. George Love, a
holistic health practitioner. During the interview, I
asked the doctor, "Is Love your real name?"
"Yes, it has been my family name for generations," he
answered. "In fact, when I was a child, other kids
would ask me that. When I told them it was my real
name, they would beat me up. Do you have any idea why
that happened?"
I thought for a moment and then answered, "I guess a
lot of people are just afraid of love." In a way I was
joking, but I was actually being serious. A lot of
people are afraid of love so much so, that when we
come close to it, we find ways to run away from it. I
find it insane that we would turn our back on the
thing we crave the most and the thing we are the
most. We are like the people Plato described, who live
in dark cave for so long that when they finally see
some light their eyes hurt and they run back into the
darkness.
But the darkness is not our destiny. No matter how
thick your dossier of what has gone wrong, you can
start a new dossier now. All it takes is one person
who is willing to see your higher possibilities. And
if no one out there is doing that, let that one person
be you. Quit identifying with your difficulties,
finding justifications for them, and arguing them.
Become a force for your own potential. Shift your
attention to what is going right and how great it
could be. Take the affirmation, "I am always doing
better than I think I am," for you are. Look your
beloved in the eye and find the person you fell in
love with. They are in there, and so are you. Fall in
love with yourself and your life, and you will enjoy
the Valentines Day of a lifetime.
