Is It Selfish?

Here’s as segment from one of Anne’s lessons:

“Another of Emmet Fox’s stories is entitled “Is It Selfish”.

I think that’s a question people ask frequently, is it selfish to
pray for yourself?
 
I teach everybody, pray for yourself first.

The quote that I love the most from a man named John Rankin who was a minister,
and I heard this on a tape many years ago, “A perfect light going through a
perfect wire cannot make a perfect shining ray through a dirty light bulb.”
If you think about that, you realize that we have to make ourselves that clear
light bulb.

We have to get rid of anything that’s frustrating us or bothering us or
irritating us in order to be able to help other people.

If we pray for ourselves first, we’re going to clear out our lives.

Our lives are going to become better because that’s how you pray for yourself

You pray for health, you pray for happiness, you pray for clarity in
whatever you’re doing, you pray for inspiration, you pray for harmony, you pray
for love, all of these things that come into play that you’re doing for other
people, you also need to be doing for yourself.

You come first.
 
If you’re not the clear light bulb, you’re not going to be able to help other
people.

You’re also not going to be able to help yourself.

You’re not going to be able to help your family or your children, so I think it
very urgent that people pray for themselves and there’s no such thing as selfishness in doing it.
 
That’s a religious spin, if you will, on a psychological concept, too.

People need to take care of themselves, get enough sleep, make enough
money, so that they can then help whoever it was that they want to.
 
We need to redefine the word selfish. We need to change it to mean: take care of yourself so you can take care of others.

What would you define self-centered as?

Self-centered is people who take care of others before they take care of
themselves.
 
We do need to be more selfish. I think a lot of people act unselfish to themselves like, “oh, I’m only thinking about you”, but it really is so that they feel good or look good and that’s not the proper use of the word selfish, either.
 
People who are taking care of somebody else and are doing it are usually
working on a guilt trip.  They want to make you feel as if they were taking
care of this and they’re having to do in order to give to you and that’s not a good way, either, because guilt trips never help anybody.
 
Then you end up with more anger inside of you and that defeats everything that we’ve been trying to teach people.

Try being more selfish now that you have an understanding of what that means.

Anne's INTA Report!

INTA as always, was a fantastic event.   This year was wonderful beyond words.  (I say that every year)           

We had 4 days of fun.  I like to say what I most liked about the Congress.  This year it was a tie on everything.   Leaders of each of the New Thought Organizations were speakers. The music was the best ever.  The afternoon workshops were informative.  Everything was well attended.  The banquet used the same theme that we used in 2000 when we hosted the Congress in 2000 with similar decorations of a Western theme.  Everyone was encouraged to wear western clothes…. especially at the Banquet where Country/western music and dancing was provided.
 
What I liked most of all was the time we had between speakers to renew friendships, make new ones, welcome and introduce ourselves to people attending for the first time and just enjoy the company. 

 The whole experience was delightful and I am already looking forward to next year.  As soon as we have date and location I will put them here so all of you can plan on attending.  
 
And by the way, I’m back on the INTA Executive Board after my 1 year of vacation. So,   I will be there with you.  

I hope you all have been listening to the new series of Working With The Law based on the book by Raymond Holliwell. Combining the time it took for me to make it and the time it took for Terrie to do all she has to do to put it on our web page,  I hope you listen to it several times.  

This morning I was talking to another person about the number of times we had read the same book or listened to the same c.d. over and over again and each time heard something new.  It is amazing how each time we read or listen, we get to a new and different level of understanding.  I still listen over and over to anything and everything and reread the same books over and over.  Each time I hear or read something new. Or, understand something better.  

Next week I’m attending the Divine Science Convention in Kansas City all week.  Will have more to report after then.,

Blessings,

Anne

Anne's 10 Step Formula for Success!

As you know, Dr. Anne Kunath has taught metaphysics for nearly 40 years now. She has studied the masters of metaphysics (and I think she is one of those masters herself). She is presenting to INTA (International New Thought Alliance) this week and part of her topic is how the old New Thought Leaders were able to accomplish so much – and in many cases, so much more than what the current Leaders are accomplishing. She has come up with a 10 step system – her formula for success. At Everyday New Thought Membership Site we will be delving into each of these steps in a special course over the coming months. And, in fact, the material is all available in our teleseminars – all of which are on the Membership Site for replay at your leisure.  Today is the LAST day for the Charter Membership Price. Tomorrow it goes from $15.00 a month to $27.00 a month. There is 30 day trial period for $1.00 so it behooves you to sign up for that to lock in the $15.00 a month price – but you have to do it today!

Take Anne’s formula and apply it to your life and magic will happen – The Magic of Metaphysics!

1. Understand the basic principles of energy
    a. There is an energy that permeates the universe
    b. This energy is good.
    c. It is Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omniactive.
    d. It moves in and through the minds of humans.
    e. This energy goes by many names.  “Christ within, Substance, Spirit, Principle”

2. Substance is Passive.

3. Where you are in consciousness will continue until you choose to change.

4. If you judge any person, thing or situation, your world becomes what you have judged.

5. There are Spiritual Laws that affect every person.

6. In order to make a change, you apply the appropriate spiritual law.

7. Love the Law.

8. Understand the Metaphysical Interpretation of the Trinity.

9. Accept yourself as a Mature son or daughter of God/universe/spirit/Christ within/Principle rather than a child of God (when you ask, beg or plead).

10. Acknowledge your responsibility! IF YOU RECEIVE AN IDEA IT IS YOUR TO DO.!

This formula is what Anne’s talking about at INTA this week. It’s a composite of her nearly 40 years of teaching Metaphysics. How can you go wrong with all her years of success?
