Dear Friends,
Decades ago, one of the most popular comedy programs on television was Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Frequently, the next skit would be introduced with the words, “And now for something completely different.”
Well, now it’s my turn to utter that famous phrase, because today I am offering you something completely different.
For one thing, it’s a poem. But that’s not why this message is different. I presented a poem to you last December.
No, what makes today’s message completely different is its unusual source. Although I always write from the heart—and today’s message is no different—it was directly inspired by a unique book I just read called, The 72 Names of God . . . a book of teachings and tools that are based on the mystical, spiritual tradition known as Kabbalah.
It is not my intention to “sell you” on Kabbalah. Much of what I read did, indeed, seem to be in alignment with my own beliefs. But not all of it was.
As I studied these 72 teachings, however, I noticed how they did offer helpful insights on living a life of greater happiness, satisfaction, and ease—similar to the principles I teach for living life in the divine flow.
And not only that, these teachings could easily be distilled into something that I find to be a helpful tool for transforming one’s life in a positive manner: Affirmation Statements.
In fact, right after I read the description of the first two “names,” a pair of rhyming affirmation statements immediately popped into my head. When I read the description of the next few “names,” the same thing happened again. The next thing I knew, I was writing a poem . . . a poem that eventually became 72 lines long!
Today, my friends, I offer you that poem. It contains 72 empowering affirmations. You may not understand every affirmation. And you may not agree with some. Just take what you like and leave the rest. My partner, Carol, found reading this piece to be tremendously uplifting.
Because of the length of this poem, I am offering it to you as a downloadable PDF file, which most computers can easily open. It is a large file containing artwork, so you may have to be patient during the downloading process. And you will probably have to “zoom in” or print it out in order to easily read it.
To download my poem now, go this page on my website: www.rowrowrow.com/Downloads.html.
As different as it is, I hope you find this offering to be of value. Next week we will return to our “regularly scheduled program!”

The Beauty of Blind Love
February 14, 2009
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today is the day we make a conscious effort to express our love and appreciation to all the people in our lives whom we dearly cherish.
For the most part, the kind of love being celebrated on this special day is “romantic” love. And one of the characteristics of “romantic” love—at least in the beginning—is that this kind of love is “blind.” We literally don’t see the physical flaws and personality quirks in the beloved. He or she looks perfect to us.
But is that really being blind? Or is that seeing as we are truly meant to see—as God sees? As we grow in spiritual understanding, aren’t we called to see beyond appearances? Aren’t we called to see beneath the physical, and look past the behavior? Aren’t we called to see the true beauty and the radiant innocence of the spirit that lies within each person? Aren’t we called to see his or her inner perfection?
If that’s being blind, fine! Give me some dark glasses and a cane! For there is nothing that feels as good as truly loving. There is nothing that feels as good as recognizing the inherent goodness of another’s soul, and allowing yourself to bask in that glorious light.
So what does this have to do with living life in the divine flow? Simply this: When you love as God loves, and see as God sees, it won’t make any difference where you are along the course of “the stream.” It won’t make any difference whether you are just about to reach your dream, or whether you are still miles away from it.
When you love without limits you are happy right where you are, wherever you are. And in the end—all goals and dreams aside—isn’t happiness all you really want out of life? Isn’t happiness all you’ve been trying to get out of life . . . all along?
Well then, here’s to “blind” love! And here’s to having a lovingly happy day today . . . and every day!

The Flow of Grace
February 8, 2009
Dear Friends,
In Chapter 2 of my book, I describe the sensation of being in the flow as “gliding gracefully through life.” Obviously, by “gracefully” I mean moving ahead with an economy of effort—with ease, efficiency, and effectiveness.
It is interesting to note, however, that “gracefully” is simply an abbreviated way of saying “full of grace.” And when the word “grace” stands on its own, a deeper meaning can be inferred.
In addition to “refined movement”—as my dictionary defines the word “grace”—it can also mean “the free and unmerited favor and blessings of The Divine . . . of God.” In that context, “gliding gracefully through life” means living life fully immersed in the constant flow of divine blessings.
Although grace is not a word that I commonly use, it is certainly what I am talking about whenever I say that the divine flow is continually guiding you toward the effortless fulfillment of your heart’s desires. It is through the blessings of divinely inspired ideas, divinely orchestrated opportunities, and divinely directed encounters that you move towards your chosen destinations with incredible ease.
And (as I mention on the Dedication Page of my book) this flow of divine goodness—this “grace” that we receive—is “unending.” It is not something that occurs randomly or occasionally. It is constant. It is not something that must be earned or merited. It is yours by divine right. And it is not something that is doled out to some, but not to others.
At every given moment of every given day, we are all receiving celestial assistance and support. At every given moment of every given day, each and every one of us is being divinely guided . . . and that includes you. But, as I frequently mention, you have a part to play in that process, because it is up to you to recognize and cooperate with that divine guidance.
It is your job to identify that still, small voice that speaks to you from within, and rely on it. It is your job to identify the helpful people that have been placed in your path, and accept their assistance. It is your job to identify the divine signs that are all around you, to discern their meaning, and to take any action that may be called for.
Said another way, it is your job to make sure that you are always fully open and fully receptive to the unending flow of divine grace in your life, so you can glide gracefully down life’s stream toward the realization of your dreams.
Here’s to living your life in the unending flow of divine blessings, my friends. Go with grace!

The Divine Appointment In Disappointment
February 1, 2009
Dear Friends,
Last week I wrote about Carol’s effortless manifestation of a wonderful new job, in a time when many people are having the opposite experience. Naturally, she was elated to secure her new position so easily. But here’s what I didn’t mention in my last message: If Carol had not been hired—if someone else had been chosen instead—Carol would have been perfectly at peace with that.
That’s not to say that Carol wouldn’t have been momentarily disappointed. But she would have seen the “divine appointment” in her disappointment. Said another way, Carol would have assumed that not getting that particular job was a good thing, because there must be something even better waiting for her . . . a perfect position that she was still being guided to.
And there is a good reason why Carol would have believed that to be true. You see, Carol did an absolutely marvelous job of staying in the divine flow during her job-hunting process:
One single step at a time, Carol was willing to allow the divine flow to guide her to her highest good . . . which could be the job she saw advertised in the newspaper . . . or its equivalent . . . or something even greater.
The point, my friends, is this: When you follow Carol’s example—when you consciously pay attention to what’s going on within you and around you, and when you are truly willing to let go of what you “think” you know, and you focus only on the step that is right in front of you—everything that occurs will feel divinely orchestrated and “meant to be.” Even if something happens that disappoints you, that feeling will quickly be replaced by a sense that you are closer than ever to your highest good.
So, here’s to living life in the divine flow, and experiencing that peaceful, happy feeling that comes from knowing that you are still being guided to a divine appointment, even when you are faced with disappointment.

She began with a clear intention of what kind of work experience she wanted to have.
She stayed awake and aware in the now moment, watching for the divine flow to present the next right step to her.
She took each right step as it came along—without procrastinating.
She continually monitored her feelings, and made decisions based on a sense of peace and ease, rather than fear.
She never forced something to go the way she “thought” it should go.
And she let go of any rigid attachment to a particular outcome.

The Extraordinary in the Ordinary
January 25, 2009
Dear Friends,
Last week I wrote about the true source of prosperity, and how the divine flow can prosper you in ways that are—to say the least—surprising. That’s not to say, of course, that abundance can’t also flow to you through channels that you expect.
Often you may experience prosperity in a completely predictable manner. But even in those ordinary circumstances, you can still sense the divine flow at work. My lovely partner, Carol, recently experienced that very thing.
For the last two years, Carol has been serving as a part-time innkeeper at a beautiful Bed & Breakfast Lodge here in Sedona. Although she was happy in her work, a full-time position—with benefits—would have been preferable.
Well, at the beginning of the year, Carol’s hours were cut almost in half (due, in large part, to the country’s economic downturn). At that moment, Carol got a very strong feeling that it was simply time for her to move on, and she began to affirm for a better position—one that would not only offer her a full-time salary with benefits, but also a regular schedule, a harmonious environment, and work that was perfectly suited to her talents and interests.
Lo and behold, the very first time she looked in the Help Wanted Section of the local newspaper, there it was: an ad for an organization that needed an administrative assistant to replace someone who was retiring. It was a full-time position, with regular hours, plus benefits. Sounds pretty standard so far, right? Read on.
You see, there was one requirement for this job that was unique. The particular organization that was running this ad was a Metaphysical University, and every applicant was required to have a background in metaphysical studies—the kind of principles that are taught in New Thought churches such as Unity and Religious Science. Carol has been a New Thought student since the age of eight!
She quickly emailed her resume to the school (how easy is that), and they called her the very next day to set up an interview. When Carol arrived for the interview, she was surprised to discover that the person she would be replacing is someone she already knew from the Unity Church of Sedona! This lovely lady had noticed Carol’s resume among the others, and had already encouraged the president of the university to interview her for the position.
When Carol returned home from the interview she was beaming with joy. Not only had the interview gone well, but she absolutely loved the heart-based, spiritually oriented environment in which she might be working. To Carol, it felt like a match made in Heaven. And it appears to be just that, because two days later Carol was offered the job!
Now, on the surface, this story may seem somewhat unremarkable: Carol wanted a new job. She looked in the paper. She found one that looked good. She interviewed for the job. And she happened to get it. But when you consider the synchronicity of the timing, the coincidence of the particular person who was retiring, and the perfect match to Carol’s talents, interests, and background, it is easy to see the divine flow at work.
Friends, is there a particular desire—like Carol’s—that you are pursuing right now? Then make sure that you don’t miss your miracle by ignoring some of the more traditional paths that life may offer you. Be open to the extraordinary in the ordinary. When you are consistently graced with effortless ease, and are constantly blessed by feelings of peace and joy, you can be certain that the path you are on is no accident, but one that has been divinely orchestrated for your highest good.

What Is Your Source?
January 18, 2009
NOTE: Soon after the economies of the U.S. and the world took a tumble last September, I wrote the following message. Although I rarely repeat messages, and only do so after a great deal of time has passed, continuing challenges on the financial front motivate me to send out this message once more. It is certainly a message that I need to hear again, and I am sure that many of you will also benefit from its reprise.
Dear Friends,
With the dramatic downturn in the U.S. economy—and in the economy of the world in general—it may be quite a challenge for you to maintain any kind of positive outlook right now . . . just as it is a challenge for me.
So how can we feel secure in such uncertain times? I, for one, make a conscious effort to remember the following: The true origin of my prosperity is not the income I receive from my work. It is not the money I have in the bank. And it is certainly not the investments I have in the stock market. I remember that the ultimate origin of my prosperity is that Infinite Field of Supply that some call Source, and others (including me) call God.
I do believe that we live in an infinitely abundant universe—a universe that is continually responding to our needs through an unlimited number of channels. And those channels are not limited to the financial avenues we are used to.
I’ll never forget a time when I needed an additional $2,500 to pay some unexpected bills. One day, my car was slightly damaged in a shower of cement fragments that fell off an office building that I was parked next to. The damage was very minor—just a few nicks and dings here and there. But because the damage was spread across several panels of the car, the cost of repairs was much more than one would expect. The owner of the building, though, was happy to write me a check for that expense . . . a check that I used to pay my bills instead of repair the car . . . a check for exactly $2,500.
It was that experience, and many others just as amazing, that have repeatedly confirmed for me how incredibly inventive our universe is . . . and how the divine flow can guide us to our good in totally unexpected ways.
In these challenging days, I invite you to regain your sense of peace by letting go of your need to figure everything out by yourself. In your daily time of prayer and meditation, include a moment to affirm the true source of your financial blessings, and open yourself up to divine direction.
Remember that as a beloved child of God you have a divine right to an abundant life. Remember that abundance is not always about money. And remember that the Mind of the Divine can prosper you in ways that you simply can’t predict . . . or even imagine.

Now And Then
January 11, 2009
Dear Friends,
Last week I wrote about being present in the now moment, and the important part that plays in the manifestation process. I have written about this subject before, and a while back I received a question from a reader who wanted me to clarify one particular aspect about this principle.
At the risk of somewhat repeating last week’s message, this week I would like to share that reader’s question with you, and my answer. Perhaps it will clear up any confusion that you may also be experiencing.
And I hope my answer was helpful to you, too, friends.

Dear Friends,
Last week I wrote about being present in the now moment, and the important part that plays in the manifestation process. I have written about this subject before, and a while back I received a question from a reader who wanted me to clarify one particular aspect about this principle.
At the risk of somewhat repeating last week’s message, this week I would like to share that reader’s question with you, and my answer. Perhaps it will clear up any confusion that you may also be experiencing.
Dear Steven,
I love to dream, think, and fantasize about where I’d like to be in life, and that seems to be a necessary part of the manifestation process. But doing that takes me out of the present moment. How do I reconcile my need to imagine where I want to be, with the constant injunction by you—and others—to stay in the now? I feel like I am crossing myself up.
Dear Reader,
There is nothing wrong with spending time visualizing what you want to have, do, or be in life. And you are right, it is quite necessary. The trick is to avoid dwelling on it incessantly.
I recommend that no more than once a day, in a time of contemplation or meditation, you go ahead and picture what it is you think you want. For the remainder of the day, though, you should focus on being in the now moment, so you will notice any divine signs that might tell you what your next right step toward realizing that dream is.
If you occasionally slip into a daydream about your desired future, that's okay. After you realize you are daydreaming, just gently return your focus once more to the present moment.
It’s true, you cannot completely stay in the now moment, and simultaneously dream about a desire you want to have fulfilled. My suggestion is simply to shift your attention back and forth. It is important, though, to remember that the Universe “heard” you the first time, and to keep most of your attention focused in the now . . . eagerly anticipating divine guidance . . . and being willing to move in a direction that may be different from what you "think" is best.
Thank you for your question. I hope my answer clarifies this apparent contradiction.
And I hope my answer was helpful to you, too, friends.
Steven
