"Thank you for this day!" by Michael Corthell The simple practice of saying, ''Thank you!'' changes our lives. The wisdom of the ages teaches us: As we count our blessings, they multiply — many times exponentially. Gratitude sharpens our awareness of God and draws us closer to Him. It opens us to receive and appreciate our own divine goodness. ''Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.'' — Aesop It has been said by many people throughout human history, “If the only prayer you say in your life is ‘thank you God,’ that would be enough.'' Yes, gratitude means saying thank you. When we count our blessings , when we notice simple pleasures, and when we acknowledge everything that we receive, we are blessed. We learn to live our lives as if everything were a miracle (it is!). We are aware of how much we've been given. Gratitude shifts our attention from what our life lacks to the absolute abundance all around us. When we are grat

  "Mind your feelings, don't let negativity in. Focus on joy, not the flaws of others or your own. Treat others as you wish to be treated. This is the simple recipe for a happy life. Everything else is merely commentary."   Michael Corthell The world and everything in it are a reflection of our consciousness. To understand the secret of creation, we must turn to consciousness. Mastery of the law of creative consciousness allows us to achieve all our desires. With this knowledge, we can build and maintain an ideal world. (For a look at The Law of Manifestation from a Christian perspective see my essay: ''Manifesting Reality from a Christian Perspective'' ) The Depths of Consciousness Consciousness is not a metaphorical concept; it's the one and only reality. Imagine it as a stream divided into two parts: the conscious and the subconscious. To use creative consciousness effectively, we need to comprehend their relationship. The conscious is personal an

"Christianity, specifically Jesus' teachings, remind us: When you pray with an unwavering belief that your request is already granted, your desires will find their way into objective reality. Faith is the spark that ignites the manifestation of our desires." Michael Corthell   In this exploration, I bridge the deep meaning of Christianity with the transformative concept of conscious manifestation . Through a fresh lens, I uncover how biblical principles align with the power of the mind, offering insights into how our consciousness shapes our reality within the context of Christian faith. As we take a focused look into these timeless truths, I invite you to open your mind and heart to the possibility that the keys to personal growth, fulfillment, and the realization of your deepest desires lie within the realm of your own awareness. In this brief essay, I hope to inspire you to unlock the boundless potential of your consciousness and embark on a journey of self-discov

Nudge theory is a flexible and modern concept for: Understanding of how people  think , make  decisions , and  behave, Helping people  improve their  thinking  and  decisions, Managing change  of all sorts, and Identifying  and  modifying existing unhelpful influences  on people. People are greatly influenced by consumption norms within a social or family group. A light eater will eat much more than they usually would when they find themselves with a group of heavy eaters. A heavy eater will eat less when they are with a group of  light eaters. The average group behavior therefore can exert a great deal of influence.  Nudge theory was named and popularized by the 2008 book, ' Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness ', written by American academics Richard H Thaler and Cass R Sunstein. The book is based strongly on the Nobel prize-winning work of the Israeli-American psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Background - Thaler and Sunstein 'Nudg

"In the journey to possess the Pearl of Great Price, we transcend material constraints and embrace Christ's essence within. Our creative power reshapes reality, dismantling duality and aligning us with the forces of divine creation." Michael Corthell In the vast tapestry of spiritual teachings, few concepts carry as profound a significance as the "Pearl of Great Price." Rooted in the 13th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew , this metaphor probes the realm of the kingdom of heaven. This essay embarks on an exploration of this allegory, shedding light on its implications for our understanding of the human experience and the kingdom that lies within. Unveiling the Kingdom of Heaven The kingdom of heaven, as delineated in the Gospel, represents the realm where human potential finds its zenith – a realm where the boundaries of imagination manifest in reality. At its core, this teaching advocates that humans, as heirs, unite with the divine, wielding imaginative power
