Live Life Spiritually

Live life spiritually in many directions! Know that the Presence of God is in you and you are a manifestation of God's Spirit alone. There is nothing else!

It Is Done

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.--Ephesians 4:6

I see the beauty of God's activity in everything--in the wind and the wave, in the sunshine and cloud, and in everything that God has created.God is an active Presence in all our affairs, not something passive. I believe that this Divine Presence is everywhere,, that It is always active in, around, and through us.

I believe that the Spirit of God is at the center of everything and at the very center of my own physical being. I recognize this Presence harmoniously acting in every cell, every organ, and every function of my physical body.

I believe that there is One Mind that governs everything, and I now affirm and accept that this same Intelligence governs my affairs at all times, directing, guiding, governing, controlling, and leading me happily to the fulfillment of all good and perfect purposes.

As I speak into this One Mind I ask that all things good and perfect be made manifest in my life. I ask that only good and perfect love, joy, peace, happiness be mine. I ask, believing that only good health, wealth and prosperity, passion for living and loving those around me are being made manifest as I write these words. It is done.

Life and Love

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.--Jesus (Matthew 28:18)

It is interesting to note that while Jesus said that all power was given to him in heaven and earth, at another time he said that he of himself could do nothing. This sounds like a contradiction until we understand the subtlety of its meaning. Jesus realized that there is but One Power and One Presence and he knew that we all live in this Presence and by this Power. He also knew that when he surrended himself to the Presence, that is, when he thought the thoughts of God after Him, then the Power would autmatically respond to him. Therefore, in surrending himself to the Presence of God he commanded the Law of Good. For we all use the Law of Good, which of Itself is entirely impersonal and independent of us, like all other laws of nature.

Today I depend on the Power that is greater than I am and upon the Law of Good that is available right here and now. I identify my life with the Presence and the Power and the Love of God. I recognize the Divine Presence within and around me, and in all people.

If there is anything in me that denies this Presence or this Power, I remove it from my thoughts and let it go. This day I surrender myself to the complete conviction that everything necessary for my well-being, for my physical, mental, and spiritual self-expression, is now operating in, through, and around me. I know that everything I do will prosper. I know that the One Life, which is God, is also my life. Therefore, I accept this gift of Life and Love, for myself and for all people.

Never Thirst Again

I am One with the infinite. I open my mind and my heart, and, indeed, my body, to the inflow of this Perfect Divine Presence. I know that this living Presence is in every cell of my body and every function of my being. I accept It as my health of body. I accept It as that which frees me from all that is unlike the perfect expression of Life(God). There is no doubt or fear in my mind that rejects in any way all that God is, right here and right now.

My conscious acceptance of the fullness of the Presence of God flows out in joy and love to bless those whom I would help, those with whom I would share this inner joy. Today and everyday the loved ones I now bring into the scope of my thought is blessed and healed through the Presence of Good that is within. The radiance of joy in my heart brings happiness into the lives of all those around me. The Abundance that benefits me supplies everyone around me with the good things of life. The Light that warms the center of my own being so shines forth that all may find guidance and warmth and comfort in Its rays. This is the Light that lighteth every man that comes into this world. This is the fountain from which springs the living waters. I drink, and will never thirst again.

Resurrection

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.--Psalm 23:4

Unhappy is he who mistakes the branch for the tree, the shadow for the substance.--The Talmud

I know that every apparent death is a resurrection, therefore, today I gladly die to everything that is unlike the true natural of God. This is the only Reality I seek. The Talmud says that unhappy conditions arise when we mistake shadow for substance. Even the valley of the shadow of death causes no fear when we arrive at the consciousness of the Psalmist who, from the exaltation of his Divine deliverance, proclaimed, "thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." The rod and the staff of Truth is the realization of the substantiality and the permanence of that which cannot change.

"Behold, I make all things new." The revitalizing, regenerative power of God's Spirit flows from the consciousness of wholeness into our physical organism and into every objective act, when we give the realization of the Divine Presence free passage through our thought. Emerson tells us that in these moments we are conscious that we as isolated beings are nothing, but that the Light(Life) is all there is. Thus, he admonishes us to get our "bloated nothingness" out of the way of the Divine flow of Life. In this Reality(the Life of God) we must strive for and embrace nonresistance and nonburden(no worry).

I know that in my own physical death and in every death is a resurrection. Jesus demonstrated this even though the world, for the most part, misunderstood the significance of the event. Today, I gladly die to everything that is unlike the good, the love, the peace, the joy, the perfect true nature of God. Jesus said, "Be ye perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect." Today my prayer is to be joyfully resurrected into that which is beautiful, enduring and true. I pass from less to more, from isolation into inclusion, from separation into oneness.
