Pam Grout Quotes

Whatever you focus on expands,

What shows up in our lives is a direct reflection of our inner thoughts and emotions.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.

It’s right underneath your fingers, baby. That’s all you have to understand—everything is right underneath your fingers.

But here’s what physicists tell us. Things, in the quantum world, do not happen in steps. They happen immediately.

Scientists tell us that 98 percent of our 60,000 thoughts are repeats from the day before.

If we simply devote our minds to feeling rich, to being grateful for all the already-apparent riches in our lives—say, our families and our wonderful friends—being broke would disappear. We only experience it because we devote our thoughts to it. That’s how powerful our minds are.

The universe is limitless, abundant, and strangely accommodating.

Man’s chief delusion is his conviction that there are causes other than his own state of consciousness.” —NEVILLE GODDARD, BARBADIAN AUTHOR AND MYSTIC

A Truer, Grander Vision “You can never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” —

Once we begin to look for what’s right, our lives begin spinning in unimaginably exciting new directions.

Look through the Bible and nowhere does Jesus say, “Worship me.” His call to us was “follow me.” There’s a big difference. By making Jesus out to be a hero, we miss the whole point. Jesus wasn’t saying, “I’m cool. Make statues of me; turn my birthday into a huge commercial holiday.” He was saying, “Here, look what is possible. Look what we humans are capable of.” Jesus is our brother, our legacy, the guy we’re supposed to emulate.

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.

As it says in A Course of Miracles, “You are being blessed by every beneficent thought of any of your brothers anywhere.

You will not break loose until you realize that you yourself forge the chains that bind you.” —ARTEN IN THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE UNIVERSE, BY GARY RENARD In

The way I see it, there are just two things we need to know: The universe has our back. Everything is going to turn out okay.

Your wildest misperceptions, your weird imaginings, your blackest nightmares all mean nothing.” —A COURSE IN MIRACLES

Our ideas of God tells us more about ourselves than about Him.” —THOMAS MERTON, CHRISTIAN MYSTIC

The brain is basically a bureaucrat. It looks at the past, applies it to the present and uses it as a map to predict the future. It literally makes up stories.

Today, I see and create a radically new vision, one where everyone wins, everyone gets a seat at the table.

You can enlarge the conversation by taking your focus off the negative and noticing all the things that are going right, taking a stand for the goodness of humanity.

Choosing to be happy and saying thank you to whatever circumstances befall you is one of the most radical things you could ever do.

You can go back time and time again to the shoe store, but it will never sell milk.

The most dangerous ads, as far as I’m concerned, are the new prescription drug ads, because they teach people to be sick.

Currently, our minds are devoted to things we do not want. Our positive intentions occupy but a tiny sliver of our minds. The rest is focused on the problems we hope the intentions will eliminate. The majority of our brainpower is devoted to the old beliefs of scarcity, problem relationships, and a God who shoots fire bolts from heaven. The

So instead of asking the question “Why do bad things happen to good people?” perhaps the better question is “Why do good people think bad things can even happen?” Bad is nothing but a judgment call, a judgment call we’re not qualified to make. Just like American Idol hasn’t requested your services next to JLo and Keith Urban, you aren’t qualified to judge what is good and bad.

Scientists now know the brain receives 400 billion bits of information each second. To give you some idea of just how much information that is, consider this: It would take nearly 600,000 average-size books just to print 400 billion zeros. Needless to say, that’s a heck of a lot of reality. So what do we do? We start screening. We start narrowing down. I’ll take that bit of information over there, and let’s see—this one fits nicely with my ongoing soap opera about the opposite sex. When all is said and done, we’re down to 2,000 measly bits of information. Go ahead and take a bow, because even that’s pretty impressive. We’re talking 2,000 bits of information each and every second. But here’s the problem. What we choose to take in is only one-half of one-millionth of a percent of what’s out there.

Most people associate the word abracadabra with magicians pulling rabbits out of hats. It’s actually an Aramaic term that translates into English as, “I will create as I speak.” It’s a powerful concept. It’s why Edison often announced the invention of a device before he’d actually invented it. It’s why Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for $10 million long before he ever made a movie. This principle simply says, “Whatever you focus on expands,” and in the experiment you’ll learn that there’s no such thing as an idle thought and that all of us are way too cavalier and tolerant of our minds’ wandering.

The Abracadabra Principle. Most people associate the word abracadabra with magicians pulling rabbits out of hats. It’s actually an Aramaic term that translates into English as, “I will create as I speak.” It’s a powerful concept. It’s why Edison often announced the invention of a device before he’d actually invented it. It’s why Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for $10 million long before he ever made a movie.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

Energy is liberated matter, and matter is energy waiting to happen.

It’s imperative to practice conscious, moment-by-moment awareness. Otherwise, you’re operating out of old encrusted beliefs, beliefs you downloaded before you were five years old. Do you really want a five-year-old running your life?

Let’s say you’re feeling excited, joyful, and grateful. Those emotions send out high-frequency vibrations that magnetize more things to be excited, joyful, and grateful about. Anything with the same high frequency will prance on over to your energy field. However, if you’re scared, guilt-ridden, and convinced there’s a terrorist around every corner, you’re sending out low-frequency vibrations that will attract ugly things into your life. We always attract our vibrational match. We are the initiators of the vibrations, and therefore the “magnets,” or the cause. It works the same way as a tuning

Miracles are like pimples, because once you start looking for them you find more than you ever dreamed you’d see.

You will not break loose until you realize that you yourself forge the chains that bind you.

My self-confidence, love of wisdom, and desire to change the world were rooted in that brief period, when I climbed out of despair to rebirth.

I want to thank every single one of you for choosing to dance instead of fight, for choosing to love instead of judge, for choosing to open your heart instead of running away from what is now truly possible.

Two plus two always equals four. Balls dropped off roofs always fall. Your every thought always affects physical reality.

there’s no such thing as an idle thought and that all of us are way too cavalier and tolerant of our minds’ wandering.

The universe is limitless, abundant, and strangely accommodating.” It will also prove that your fears are pointless and that maybe it’s okay to take a big, deep breath.

You can never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

we humans decide in advance how we’re going to experience life, that we choose beforehand what we want to see.

Ask, in Aramaic, means a combination of “claim” (as in, that deed to the land is yours) and “demand.” To ask for something in prayer is to simply lay hold of what’s yours. You have the right, and even the responsibility to command your life.

3. We stalk negativity. What do we study? Disease, problems, disasters of the past. What do we prepare for? Emergencies. We love to sink our teeth into problems and ask, “What’s wrong?” It’s an old-school model that sorely needs transformation. Once we begin to look for what’s right, our lives begin spinning in unimaginably exciting new directions.

Great spirit is everywhere. It is not necessary to speak to him in a loud voice. He hears whatever is in our minds and hearts.” —BLACK ELK, LAKOTA MEDICINE MAN Most

Mother Nature (aka the natural world before humans imposed fear on her) provides for every single need.

Our beliefs about ourselves and about the

Man’s chief delusion is his conviction that there are causes other than his own state of consciousness.

In this experiment you’re going to prove that your thoughts and feelings also create energy waves. Here’s what you do: Get two wire coat hangers, easy to obtain in most any closet. Untwist the neck of each hanger until you’ve got just two straight wires. These are your “Einstein wands.” Or rather they will be when you shape them into an L, about 12 inches long for the main part and 5 inches for the handle. Cut a plastic straw in half (you can score one free of charge at any McDonald’s), slide the handle that you just bent inside the straws (it’ll make your wands swing easily), and bend the bottom of the hanger to hold the straw in place. Now, pretend you’re a double-fisted, gun-slinging Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke with the wands held chest high and about ten inches from your body. They’ll flap all over the place at first (like I said, you’re an ongoing river of energy), so give them a few moments to settle down. Once they’ve stopped flapping, you’re ready to begin the experiment. With your eyes straight ahead, vividly recall some very unpleasant event from your past. Depending on the intensity of your emotion, the wands will either stay straight ahead (weak intensity) or will point inward, tip to tip. The wands are following the electromagnetic bands around your body, which have contracted as a result of the negative frequency generated by your unpleasant thought and emotions. Now make your frequencies turn positive by thinking about something loving or joyous. The wands will now expand outward as your energy field expands to your positive energy flow. Okay, now keep your eyes straight ahead, but focus your attention on an object to your far right or far left and watch your wands follow your thoughts. The more you play with this, the more adept you’ll become at feeling the vibrational shift as you change from one frequency to another.

What I’d like to suggest in this three-day experiment is that all the important stuff you need to know is happening right outside your window, right there in your neighborhood, right in your own heart.

As human beings, we are capable of creating a paradise, and making each other’s lives better by our own hands. Yes, yes, yes—this is possible.

I am a child of God and therefore do not inherit sickness.

2.   The great field of potentiality is unlimited. Absolutely anything is possible. All it takes is the willingness to open your mind, surrender “old-school” conditioning, and continue to expand into more joyful, freer, bigger ideas.

3.   We’re all in this together. If we take care of one another and go the extra mile to appreciate and play together, we all gain—each one of us is lifted up. Sure, we could walk alone to the finish line. But the real joy comes from tackling the journey together, from raising our voices in one mighty, unified wahoo!

Toddlers, according to one research study, laugh 400 times a day. Adults laugh an average of four times. What happened?

Like most people, I started with baby steps—making simple intentions like securing up-front parking spots, finding four-leaf clovers,

expectations, in fact, are so powerful that placebos (fake treatments like sugar pills, saline injections, and sham surgery) cause bald men to grow hair, high blood pressure to drop, ulcers to heal, dopamine levels to increase, and even tumors to shrink. And although pharmaceutical companies would rather keep this on the down low, placebos relieve symptoms on par with real medication. In other words, it’s our beliefs that do the healing.

The majority of our brainpower is devoted to the old beliefs of scarcity, problem relationships, and a God who shoots fire bolts from heaven.

Anytime we look for an answer, we make the false assumption that the answer isn’t already here.

There is only one rule on this Wild Playground. . . . ‘Have fun, my dear; my dear, have fun.’” — HAFIZ, PERSIAN POET

Instead of getting personally involved in our problem, we can just as easily let go and let the majesty of the universe do its glorious thing.

Once you get on the joy and gratitude frequency, you come to see that the universe is not only a co-creative force, but it’s your strongest ally.

You better have fun. Because you’re going to be gone in a minute.

The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed. — PIERRE TEILHARD DE CHARDIN

We’re all in this together. And every time we judge or think anything less than charitable about anyone, we crucify ourselves. We inflict self-pain.

All we want, whether we are honeybees, ponderosa pines, coyotes, human beings, or stars, is to love and be loved, to be accepted, cherished and celebrated simply for being who we are. Is that so very difficult?”—DERRICK JENSEN, AMERICAN AUTHOR AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST

You will not break loose until you realize that you yourself forge the chains that bind you.” —ARTEN IN THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE UNIVERSE, BY GARY RENARD

I have nothing against God. It’s his fan club to which I take exception.

It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” —MARK TWAIN, AMERICAN AUTHOR

Nothing could be more vital than to be suspicious of the voice in my head.

What you appreciate appreciates.

If something hasn’t happened, it’s not because it can’t happen, or won’t: it just hasn’t happened yet.” More

If your mind isn’t cluttered by unnecessary things, this could be the best day of your life.” —

When we don’t stop daily to inventory all the gazillion things going right in our lives, the crazy voices in our heads try to make us their

By simply stopping every day and registering our connection to this undeniable, unchanging Presence, we start to notice a deeper truth, a happier reality. We start to notice an eternal broadcast airing its joyful melody quietly beneath the static. No offense to Napoleon Hill, the author of the self-help classic on which my title riffs, but the real power is in not thinking. If you want to override your brain’s unfortunate habit of leafing through your past and creating a present hologram to match, forget thinking.

love trumps fear, laughter trumps tears, and abundance trumps loss. And

And it all starts with recognizing the beauty that surrounds you, flows through you, fills you with light. It all starts with getting on the frequency of gratitude.

Being gloomy is easier than being cheerful. Anybody can say ‘I’ve got cancer’ and get a rise out of a crowd. But how many of us can do five minutes of good stand-up comedy?” —

Look through the Bible and nowhere does Jesus say, “Worship me.” His call to us was “follow me.” There’s a big difference.

Thay đổi quan điểm, thay đổi cuộc đời

Tôi là một người tràn ngập yêu thương, một người mạnh mẽ và quyền năng, và không có gì trong cuộc sống của tôi không thể được phục hồi trọn vẹn. Tất cả đều phụ thuộc vào tôi - và chỉ tôi mà thôi - để biến điều đó thành hiện thực

để tạo ra cuộc sống đáng mơ ước, bạn phải theo đuổi nó. bạn tự tạo nên chính vũ trụ của mình. dù phải thực hiện bước nào để tạo ra vũ trụ ấy, bạn cũng phải từ bỏ sự rụt rè và nỗi sợ hãi trước đây để bước tiếp. đừng để sự xấu hổ khiến bạn không thể theo đuổi những điều bạn muốn, điều đó chỉ khiến bạn tự chuốc lấy thất bại thôi. điều tồi tệ nhất có thể xảy ra đó là bạn bị từ chối - như thế thì đã sao chứ? bạn vẫn còn biên giới khác và các vùng lãnh thổ khác để chinh phục. hãy luôn nhớ đó là điều quan trọng nhất. - GEORGETTE MOSBATCHER

I am because we are.

This joy oscillation is the most powerful frequency on the planet and has the capability of radically uplifting the world.

It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.

The way we have been perceiving life needs to be rolled away, so that which is true can appear.

There’s a space heater—or rather an invisible energy force—that’s constantly available for our use, and we haven’t bothered to turn it on. Most of us are totally oblivious to the fact the “space heater” even exists.
