Question: How do you explain Jesus from a metaphysical perspective?

Answer: We look at Jesus the man vs. Jesus the Christ.

Jesus the man is a person like us except he knew God (as the Christ) was within him.

Jesus the Christ is like us after we recognize that God is Omnipresent and is within everything, including people.

It is the acceptance that God, Life Force, Energy, etc. cannot be separated from His children. It is the ability to know that we think and become creative as Jesus knew so well.

There are religions that will argue this. Let them. Your “knowing” keeps you in free thinking mode. They will never persuade you that God is not your father, too.

The energy that is within us is Holy. God is inside and not on a mountain top wearing a white robe and sandals. That is what Omnipresent means.

More questions!!!

Question:

1. How do you handle your own thinking when someone you love is doing something you know is a mistake, and you can’t stop them/wise them up, etc

2. How can you get people into Metaphysics when they don’t want to…

Good questions. Handling your own thinking is one of the biggest areas we need to work on.

When we hear others using negative words, talking about what is “wrong” with the world, “wrong” with people, “wrong” with food, “wrong” with the government, and with people who like to spread “crisis information”, our job is to counter what they are saying.

That sometimes seems hopeless. The best way to counter it is to change the subject.

Begin to discuss anything else…. like a movie, somebody’s birthday, some fun thing you remember from another time you were together. Ask a question about others in the family. Discuss children’s school, anything your mind goes to that will change the direction of the conversation.

If that doesn’t work immediately you can visualize a big plastic bubble over them that prevents (mentally) the words from going out into the universe.

What happens then is the persons will be surrounded by their own discomfort of negative emotions and will be searching for a way out.

Soon they will begin to WANT a change of their own topic. Eventually they will get the message.

Q # 2. The best way to get other people to begin to study metaphysics is to be a glowing example of happiness and success, When we try to “help” others learn by telling them, they get resentful.

When they see your success, they are more apt to come to you and ask what is happening in your life. When they get to the point of asking, they will listen very carefully. That is the first step is the other person’s listening and beginning to change.

Hope these help you!

Here’s another question from our subscribers. Remember, if you have questions give ‘em to us here.

Q. I’ve gotten several things I wished I hadn’t asked for. How do I eliminate them now.

A. A good example of “be careful what you ask for, because you’re going to get it”. I’ve done that a few times myself before I learned to examine how I would be and feel if I got what I thought I wanted.

One time I asked for greater income and got a lot more work. That was not what I intended.

I was teaching a Treasure Mapping Class and had the students bring in their maps for me to check before they began to concentrate on them. One map had a man in the middle, on a ship and holding a drink in his hand. I knew her first husband had been an alcoholic and told her she needed another picture and reminded her she had stated she didn’t want another alcoholic. Instead of getting another picture she cut his hand off that held the drink. When she brought that one in I pointed out the one armed man.

She did find a beautiful picture with a healthy man in it. She put words of health, sober but fun loving, prosperous, generous, etc. and shortly afterward got married. Step 1 is to really evaluate and be sure you are asking correctly.

Step 2 is to include positive words and phrases like “loves my family” or “his family loves me” that will eliminate negative in-law situations.

Step 3 is more words of long, happy marriage, loves to travel, sincere, enjoys my friends, I enjoy his friends. Integrity, generosity, sleeps quietly (without snoring).

Remember, everything you want him to be, you have to match for yourself. (If you want a neatnik, and you’re a slob it would not work very well.)

If you still got something you don’t want, there is a way out. Simply affirm that you are finished with that part of your life and you both move in to the next step of your divine plans with ease and comfort.

You must put a “completion” into something to assure you both can let go with peace. That does work well. Good luck.

This is from Anne!

“What is manifesting (in the metaphysical sense of the term?)”

“What is the meaning of Metaphysics?”

“What is the importance of Metaphysics in my life”

“What should I know about Metaphysics?”

The dictionary states: ‘To become clear or obvious to the eye or mind. to cause to happen. todisplay or show (a quality or feeling) by one’s acts or appearance; to demonstrate something you desired or feared. (according to your expectations)’

In New Thought the word manifest is used loosely to describe something that is occurring in our lives or in someone else. We can manifest happiness or we can manifest misery. We can manifest poverty or we can manifest wealth.

The study of metaphysics is the study of the spiritual laws that are constantly moving to produce according to our thoughts, words, or beliefs. Thus, the importance of understanding that we have created everything in our life. (what is in a child’s life is determined by his parents beliefs until he begins to make his own decisions at about the age of twelve.)

Positive or negative comments register in the subconscious of infants (some people believe even before the child is born) from words they hear from others. When we begin the study of our lives, it is wise to look at previous events to determine what we have attracted in the past. From that we discover beliefs we choose to enhance or beliefs we choose to eliminate. For this we use denials or affirmations.

Denials allow us to say, “I no longer choose to believe that I am (weak, unhappy, selfish, stupid, etc. )” and remove all limiting words.

Affirmations then are added to strengthen the qualities we wish to express. “I am now choosing to believe I am strong, happy, giving, smart, etc.”

To know how energy expresses through what we think allows us to choose the kind of life we want. We can choose to attract what we want and eliminate what we don’t want.

So many metaphysical teachers tell you to “let go and let God”. Other state that you need to “detach from your goal in order to have it”. How do you do this?

These two phrases are to be used at two different times and not for the same situations.

“Let go and let God” is when we are having worries. It serves to take your mind of the problem so the problem can work itself out. (Remember I always suggest using the word “problem” and not “challenge” as many metaphysicians do.) The reason is that every problem has a solution and the word challenge indicates a winner and the rest are losers. Also, challenge has a perception of struggle and/or difficulty, Problems, when you know the correct formula, are simple to solve. Accept that you have the formula which is: asking, visualizing, accepting and giving thanks.

The phrase “detach from your goal” means to expect results but without worrying about how its coming to you. I suggest that as soon as you have asked, begin to say, “thank you that my result is already on its way to me”. That helps to build your faith in your own affirmations.

Hope this helps some!

Q. How is earthly life conceived in New Thought? Is it a learning  experience for the individual?

A. Planet Earth is like a school. Some people are in kindergarten and others are in college. I believe the law of attraction pulls the soul into a similar grade family. This provides an opportunity for change. Change comes from making different decisions than the individual family members have made. Periodically the soul will create opportunities to prove he or she is ready for the next higher grade. We can either learn by our mistakes, or, we can keep making the same mistakes over. We live by choice.

Thanks again, Anne!

Q How does study and practice of New Thought Principles benefit a person?

A. The first step that occurs is your attitude changes to greater happiness and determination to find a way of life that is better for you. That means change. It also means that in that change you make decisions for what you want instead of accepting what you have been told you can have. It means selecting improved health, greater financial supply, harmony in your relationships, and I think the greatest for me was “peace of mind.” It also means new happy, harmonious friends coming into your life  and people who complain,argue and whine start moving out. These things are worth their weight in gold.

Here’s the answer to our first question:

Q.How can I quickly describe what metaphysics is when I'm
talking to other folks?

A. When people ask about metaphysics they are usually completely unfamiliar with New Thought or with any of the things we study and usually assume that everyone else is familiar with them. It is best not to confuse them with too much information., I say first “It is a branch of Philosophy that deals with the study of the non-physical as in the study of thought and its effects on each one of us.” That is usually enough for most people. If they are interested enough or understanding enough to want more information then I explain more. Keeping it simple and saying “we believe that our thoughts and feelings are creative and we create what we think about and what we believe. Therefore, we learn to think about what we want to have in our lives. We stop worrying and we stop complaining. As we begin to think about happy events our lives change for the better. If they want more than that, recommend a good book such as one by Emmet Fox, Joseph Murphy or another of your favorites.
