Jim (00:01):
Hello, and welcome to this
episode of Decide on Joy, a
podcast coming to you fromHarmony Spiritual Center in Fort
Worth, Texas.
My name is Jim Alt,
Pjae (00:11):
and my name is Reverend
Dr.
PJ Stanley.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Jim (00:16):
And today we're.
On the fourth part of a fourpart series about manifestation
each of the parts began with dwe had discovered, decide, and
determine.
And today we have, do, do maybe,maybe a little recap of what
those first three were
Pjae (00:33):
Exactly.
Yeah.
So, you know, we just, first ofall there's just so many
possibilities and again.
Lemme go back to what this, whatthis podcast is about and what
decide on Joy is actually sayingthat we believe you can take
control of your life and havethe life you're looking for.
That life doesn't have to bejust willy-nilly, things coming
at you and you just respondingto things that are coming.
(00:54):
You can decide on what you wantyour life to look like, and
there are universal laws oruniversal.
I'm just gonna use laws for abetter word.
Use whatever word you want so itdoesn't bring your hackles up.
But
Jim (01:06):
Yeah, PJ knows, I have a
verse to that word,
Pjae (01:10):
but they're just universal
rules.
Let's just say this.
It's like law of gravity, youknow, it's just, you can't, if
you, if you, if you step off abuilding, you're going down.
That's just, that's the way it'sgonna do because that's what
gravity does.
There are rules like that oflife.
And so we just kind of wannatalk to you a little bit about
what those are and how youbecome aware of those because
awareness is, is.
This is the beginning of, ofmoving forward and taking charge
(01:32):
of your life.
So that's really what decide onJoy is about.
In my, in my estimation we justbelieve that everybody has a
right to have a beautiful life.
And so we're just here trying toshare with you some ideas that
we have and, and perhaps itwould, it would resonate with
you about how you could have thelife that you're looking for.
So, discover.
(01:53):
It's about, first of all,discover what is it that you
want?
Because a lot of ideas flowthrough our head all the time,
and we don't.
We, we are living from paradigmsthat we have from, from parents,
grandparents, teachers, all thepeople that influenced our
lives.
This is not a negative thing,it's just what it is.
But all those things aren'tnecessarily who we are.
(02:14):
So the first thing we wanna dois discover who we are.
And what we actually want andnot what we were told we want,
but what do we actually want?
And so that's the first D isjust discover.
And once we discover that, sayfor me it was yeah, you know
what?
I am a singer and I wanna sing.
I have a good voice.
I want to sing.
So I discovered that you thinkthat would be something obvious,
(02:35):
but it wasn't.
And so I said that and thendecide for it.
Yes, I do want to, I am a singerand yes, I do want to sing.
So when you decide for it, theuniverse gets busy bringing
opportunities your way to allowthat to happen in your life.
You'll see those opportunitiesonce you decide for it.
Once you see thoseopportunities, you have to
determine.
(02:56):
To do what's yours to do.
Not everything is yours to do,but when it comes up and when it
resonates, meaning it, there'sa, there's a, there's something
in your heart that says, yes,that's for me, then that is for
you.
And so those are the first threeDs.
Discover what you want, decidefor that, that you want, and to
determine to do what's yours.
(03:17):
To do
Jim (03:19):
and then you do it, then we
Pjae (03:21):
actually have to take some
action on it.
And the reason we put do thereis because once we have
determined all those things,we've done those things, there
is a, a, a, a human nature forus to say, how is that going to
happen?
And so, so fear takes over.
I don't really know how to dothis.
How do I become a singer?
(03:41):
How do I put a band together?
I don't even know any musiciansor whatever you're particular,
I'm just using this for, right.
Something to happen to me.
But so, so we, we give ourselvesan out.
For not actually moving forwardand doing something with it.
And that's what that do isabout.
Jim (03:59):
And sometimes in other
contexts, I know you have said
that how is not our business?
Pjae (04:09):
It is how?
Absolutely not.
And that sounds so strange,
Jim (04:11):
but that seems somewhat
contradictory to what we were
just saying
Pjae (04:14):
about the do.
Jim (04:15):
Yes.
Pjae (04:16):
Well, because here's,
here's the thing and what I, I
don't know how much we've talkedabout it in this podcast, if we
haven't talked about it a lot ormuch, we will be talking about
it.
My belief is that you have todevelop a relationship with
whatever you call that, which isgreater than yourself.
And I ask you not to get hungup.
And what you call it, I actuallycall it George.
(04:37):
Some people call it spirit, somepeople call it what, whatever
you want to call it.
But there is something that isgreater than yourself that is
waiting for you to say yes tolife.
That's what all this discoveringand deciding that's you saying
yes to life doing is you sayingyes to life.
And once you say yes to life,that spiritual self, that
(04:57):
spiritual concept, because theuniverse is abundant and it.
There are things all over theworld that are possible that
will come to you because you'renow attracting it.
One, and this is the law ofattraction we'll talk about
later, but because you'reattracting it to you because you
said you want to do it andyou're willing to do it now.
So this, the, that law attractswhat you need to you, so you
(05:19):
don't have to worry about how,if you, if you knew the, how
you'd already be doing it.
So really let that go.
I think there's a book out thatis I go, I wanna write a book
about how the, how's not yourbusiness, but I think that the
book is called How Is The Way,is the Way Through how Is The
Way Through or something.
I have to, I'll come back andfigure out what that name.
It was a great name, but he wassaying the same thing.
(05:41):
Pretty much.
Don't worry about the how.
'cause really it's, it will comeand it'll, it'll show itself.
And, and because you havedetermined that you wanna do
something, you'll recognize it.
So if you don't do these firstthree.
If the how comes your way, youwon't recognize it because you
haven't claimed it yet.
The moment you do claim it, yourecognize it when it, oh, I
(06:02):
think that's for me, and youstep into it and you do it.
So that's what it looks like.
Jim (06:06):
Yeah.
Pjae (06:07):
All right.
Yeah,
Jim (06:09):
I see that.
My goodness.
Have we exhausted that topicalready?
I don't.
Well, you know,
Pjae (06:16):
it's the whole, this whole
thing was, is actually all four
of the
Jim (06:18):
Yes, of course of the
topics.
And
Pjae (06:20):
we've, we've gone through
them pretty much.
But the do is, is an importantone, even though we don't have a
lot to say about it.
'cause it actually is a verysimple thing.
Do it just, you know, it's a Boknows, just do it.
Jim (06:31):
So is George or Spirit or
whoever it.
To some degree, we're going topoint you in the direction of
what you should be doing.
Pjae (06:39):
It will actually, it will,
it will actually show up in
front of you.
It'll, and you, and you, and yourecognize it because you've done
these first three.
So it'll just show up in frontof you.
It's, it may have been there thewhole time, but because you
haven't claimed it yet, youdidn't see it.
And so really it opens your eyesto seeing what is there for you
so that the universe is abundantand constantly bringing things
(06:59):
to you.
Say, Hey, you could try this.
You could try that, you couldtry the other thing.
If you don't say that it'ssomething you wanna do, you
won't try those things.
You won't know that that is foryou.
But the moment you do those,those three things, then you
start to recognize and say it's,it's like saying it's really
like going.
Let's just use this example forone, like, like buying a car.
(07:20):
You wanna buy a car.
It takes you some minute.
You start to think about it.
The moment you decide, you knowwhat, I want a BMW, that's
green, or whatever the heck yousay, then you'll be seeing them
everywhere.
You'll see them everywhere.
They didn't just start appearingbecause you said you wanted one.
You, you became aware of thefact that they were there.
(07:40):
That's, that's what happens.
So for you, for us, thespiritual capabilities, what
Spirit is trying to show you,because it's always for you,
always wanting you to expand, tohave a, a better life and the
life that you want.
It's not putting a life on you.
It's saying, what life do youwant?
I'll help you with that.
And so, to me, that's just abeautiful thing.
(08:01):
And our part is to decide what,what, what kind of life do we
want?
And then once we do those threethings.
When Spirit is saying, okay,well here you go honey.
Here's something for you.
Oh, oh, there it is.
And you recognize it.
That's all this is.
That's all this is.
Jim (08:15):
So, I know this has come up
before and we, we have talked
about it, but this would be trueeven in.
Difficult circumstances.
Yes.
Yes.
I mean, obviously there would besome limits of the
circumstances.
If you're, if you're a refugeein Gaza at the moment and you
(08:37):
say you want a green BMW,
Pjae (08:40):
that probably wouldn't be
what you'd be looking for anyway
if you were FC, probably not.
No.
That wouldn't be the thing you'dbe looking for, so, no.
So it is, it is particular.
To where you are and what you'redoing.
It's particular to yoursituation.
It's, it, everything is aboutyou.
It, it really is.
So where are you?
Are you in a good relationshipor a negative relationship?
Are you, do you want a betterjob?
(09:01):
What is it that you want?
Do you want to get out of thewar?
I, I, you know, so it's, it'sparticular to what you're saying
you want, and not everythinghappens quickly.
Not everything happens quicklybecause there's a lot that's
wrapped into where you happen tobe.
The things you've accepted thatis true.
What you said was okay, and nowyou're starting to unravel it
(09:22):
and go, you know what?
That's not okay.
I, I, I, I don't, I don't wantthat.
And so it starts to unravel bitby bit, and you start to see
this.
One area that you could change.
If I, I could change that, it'llmake me feel better about this.
And so you change that and thenonce you change that, something
else reveals itself.
You know, Hey, I can changethat, change that, change that.
So it's not a magic wand, but itis almost magical in that you
(09:46):
have the, the power to say whatyou want your life to look like.
And then start affecting changein your life.
It's not an overnight situation,but it, but you know, I mean, do
you plan on being here?
If you plan on being around fora while, you might as well
figure out how to make your lifelook the way you want it to look
for the next 5, 10, 15,whatever, how much time you got
left.
Jim (10:06):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pjae (10:07):
That's my thoughts.
Jim (10:08):
Yes.
That, that makes sense.
Yeah.
Again, we can, we can stop, wecan have a short episode here.
We do have a short episode.
Yes.
And we will see you next time.
We will, if you want to lookback at the previous three,
they're all available.
So you can check in those if youwant to see the whole sequence
as, as a thing aboutmanifestation.
(10:30):
And we'll see you next time.
Thanks for being with us.
Yay.
