Hello fellow bloggers (bloggees?)!
Sigh, apparently more self education on blogging terminology is necessary. Everything seemed to go very well with the transmitted links. I had no reports of issues, so it seems Conversations with Donna has found a permanent home. I would like to post some of your responses. Please let me know if you would like me to do so. Or, please feel free to post comments of your own.
Abrupt change of subject…
We are most of the way through the summer and my thoughts have been turning to Fall already. It seems, these days, I am usually thinking ahead of where I am. It’s the many things in life crowding in, pulling my focus away from today to anticipated problems of the future. I feel as if I want to get a jump on planning, time wise, money wise, in order to keep ahead. Ahead of what, I wonder? Time spent too much in the future leaves us with no time in the Now. And Now is when we create the future we want.

So this time we will be talking about Now and how to stay there. Lights, camera, action…
Conversation 6:
A new product is being introduced by our company called Perfect Water. I first saw it at a product convention for our company in Orlando. We were walking along spotlit areas wending our way between product displays. We approached the food section… and there it was… the Perfect Water exhibit. Now I am not one to be swayed by marketing tricks – I mean, I used to create them for a cellular phone company. But something that exudes high vibrations is very appealing to me And this did (still does, too). It looked smart, cool, sleek… perfect. I wanted one! I wanted to try it to see if it was as good as it looked. I instantly thought of everyone who could benefit from this product. It was a very exciting few minutes.
And I am still very excited about this product. Its high vibrations make me feel good. Just seeing the product gives me all sorts of ideas. It is inspiring. The excitement created by the Perfect Water product makes me feel better mentally and physically. It makes me feel focused and on purpose.
I am not in some underhanded means trying to sell you our new product (although I would happily sell you that and any other of the 7 million products we have). I am using it as an example to demonstrate what excitement can do for us, what a perspective changing life transforming emotion it can be.
Excitement is number three on the Emotional Guidance Scale (third only to Passion, #2 and Joy, #1). It’s pretty high up there.
I think all of us if we try can remember a time when we felt such excitement. Your heart was racing, your breathing changed, and your focus was very high. You couldn’t wait until you did/ate/met/rode/played it. You were completely immersed in the Now.

The Now is where we want to be. It is where we want to keep our focus. For the only place our desired future can be created is from Now. It can’t be created from the Past. The Past’s future was already created and lived. We can’t project into the future and create it there, we don’t know what our circumstances will be or what we will want in the future; The only place from which we can send our desires and intents ahead for future creation is Now.
So how do we do that, stay in Now? I mean, it’s not as if you can just forget about things like bills that will come due, scheduling changes coming up, and events to plan for. Can you? Not forget about them completely, no (sigh – too bad). But we can prevent ourselves from dwelling on them in worry, or fear. Worry is number 14 out of 22 on the Emotional Guidance Scale. And fear, fear is all the way at the bottom of the list. Talk about yanking away any forward high vibrational creating you might have been doing.
Just think about it. You’re going along, happily creating at, oh say the vibrational rate of Positive Expectation (#4) and WHAM, you remember that the mortgage is due and you don’t have the money collected yet. You are afraid (FEARful) that you won’t get the money in time. It takes only 17 econds for the Source to notice a change in your vibrational level and the intent you are presently focusing on. It takes 68 seconds for the Source to start changing circumstances to bring about whatever you are thinking and creating. Whatever positive circumstances were coming your way concerning the positive fulfillment of your mortgage payment have stopped and your intent has plummeted to the lowest vibration. You are madly creating with a very negative emotion. The Source is responding to your strong intent and bringing about circumstances to fulfill that intent… not being able to pay the mortgage. Yikes! Quick, do something!
You have three things you can do…
- Change your vibrational rate to a higher one.
- Quit thinking about “Not being able to pay the mortgage” and think about “Easily meeting your mortgage, or all of your obligations in a timely manner”.
- Do what can be done (with this positive attitude) and then put it aside.
Let’s start with number 1. It is impossible to have more than one emotion at a time (even schizophrenics have to switch back and forth). So, change the emotion you are having, by deliberately changing what you are thinking about. Use excitement!
Take the time to make notes on the exciting times in your life. Those times that were wonderfully exhilarating (that would be pleasantly exhilarating as opposed to something like oh, say… your tire blowing and feeling the exciting effects of doing 360ss down I95 in traffic – exciting, but not really, “oh yea, let’s do that again!”, exciting). If you have pictures keep them with the notes, carry them with you all the time. And when you are in need of a shift in your focus, pull these notes and pictures out Look at them and pull the memory of that excitement from the past into the Now. Close your eyes and really feel that feeling. Relive whatever incident produced that feeling. Hold it close to you and think how great it would be to feel like that right now.
Now that you have that feeling of excitement coursing through you, change your intent (2.) from “not being able to pay the mortgage” to “easily meeting your mortgage obligations in a timely manner”. Think how great you feel when you pay the mortgage on time. Be excited about having the ability to do that. How wonderful to pay your biggest bill and have it hardly impact your pocketbook at all. Then, with deliberate intent, do whatever you can about the situation, put the situation on the shelf, and then go about your day with that same excitement (3.).
A tall order, I know. But, anything can be accomplished when pursued in small bits, a little at a time. And what a great tool to use, remembering exciting past events to bring forth a feeling that raises your vibrational level! This can be used any time you want to change your thoughts to be more positive, and to make certain you are creating deliberately in a positive manner. Not only does it make you feel better, the strength of the emotion wipes out the low vibrations and gets your creating ability back on the positive track.
So, drag out those old memories and get excited, Now. Really excited! It might just make your future.
I love you all,
Donna

This comment was accidentally attached to a different Conversation. I attached it to the one I thought it should have gone to. The original one is still attached to Conversation 3. The comment appears below…

My favorite quote is from “The March” by E.L.Doctorow. Seems a soldier was wounded by a piece of shrapnel that pierced his head. They could not remove it though, while he survived, his life was forever changed. Not only did he have a large piece of metal sticking out of his head, he also had no memories. He could not even remember his name, even if someone had just told him what it was. And so, he said: “It is always now.” Doctorow’s main character, a doctor, pondered this at length, not understanding what he meant. But it was perfectly clear to me. This man was blessed in that he had none of the “baggage” that the rest of us carry. All that was, was the Now. And I realized that we all needed to spend much more time in the Now. What has passed cannot be changed (tho we can learn from it) and we do not know if the future will be granted to us. So living in the Now is the only thing we should do. I don’t mean ignoring our responsibilities (saving to pay bills, etc), but we should be making the most of the time we have right now. And that means being happy or content with what we have, telling people that we love them, not holding grudges or seeking revenge … just being the best we can be at that particular time. In other words, “it is always now.” Live it. Love it. That’s what I try to do.

How ironic that I finally got a chance to read this conversation about NOW (Sunday) in the NOW. Earlier today as I was running around like a chicken without a head, which I usually leave for weekday nights not weekends, I felt I had to hurry to get all chores done and some that I had forgotten as I went by things in the house, just so I could reward myself with a few minutes (at a time) of relaxation. I have just recently tried to adopt the or shoud I say change my attitude from everything has to get done right NOW to tomorrow is another day. Because then I am missing out in whatever I might feel like doing (for the fun of it!) and find myself not really living but married to my work and then the house. Since when should inanimate objects or thoughts that everything has to get done in a certain timeframe control my life. Thanks for re-opening my eyes. Great topic – as I rekindled my motto, “its another day to excel”.
