Dear Jennifer: I used the Cord Disconnect & Healing meditation to cut cords with people in my life and while you said that it doesn’t hurt anyone to do this, why are all of the people in my life upset? I can feel their pain and their sense of abandonment and I feel bad because I think I created that. Did I do this the wrong way and did I hurt them?

Jennifer’s Answer:  You did not hurt anyone but you did shift a lot of energy and energetic connections. The process of disconnecting just releases how you connect to others and how they connect to you. This will create some upset in the people who are used to having your energy available to them in a certain way and acting accordingly. Now they have to rely on their own power and they can be feeling a little lost. They do have choices, to adapt to the new connections with you or to find someone else to connect with them in the old way.

 

"We are not true to ourselves when we let the world crowd in

upon us and weigh us down with its contrary appearances."

-          Frank Richelieu

In Science of Mind we often hear the phrase that thoughts are things. I believe that more powerful than the thought itself is the belief you hold about the thought or words you speak. Holmes refers to this as the "fire in the belly." Your conviction and belief powers your word to become true and manifest in form. 

So today let's remind ourselves to be aware of our expectations. Do we expect the perfect income and work, right romantic relationships, wonderful friendships, perfect housing and transportation, divine health and wholeness, inner harmony, perfect spiritual path, peace instead of war, and to be sustained and maintained by Spirit itself? Or do we allow belief in our fears, doubts, race thoughts and worries to be our predominant belief system? Science of Mind teaches that the world is the self writ large, which means that our life experience is an exact out-picturing of our beliefs. Every good thing can be and is ours in deliberate imagination, and that we can shift easily at the deepest levels of our psyche into ever better versions of self and claim any reality in which we're willing to reside. We have the ability to walk around with great expectations that God is our source, supply and sufficiency. We have the power in consciousness to have faith in the invisible, that what we expect will be made so and visible. As soon as we get out of the way and allow for Spirit to move through us, it is done. 

I invite you this day to be mindful of your expectations. Allow for any false thoughts to slip away to nothingness as you proclaim with great expectation that divine right action is your birthright and at hand now. Know with certainty that it is God's good pleasure to grant you the kingdom of heaven on earth with no delay. This inheritance includes all of your expectations being met now.
