The Invisible

Life at the center of my being is a silent Power. Physical facts, form, and conditions are no obstruction to this Power. It flows through them and takes a new form in them. It re-molds them. That which makes can re-make; that which molds can re-mold; that which creates can re-create. Remember what you see comes from what you do not see. The visible is the Invisible made manifest. It is the Invisible caught in temporary form. Every time you think,you are giving form to this Invisible Power.

I strip my mind of fear, superstition, and all sense of separation from this Divine Presence that is in me, through me, and all around me. I am surrounded by a spiritual Presence that responds to my word and my thoughts. Today I take charge of my thinking. All my thoughts and actions this day will be prosperous and good. I wait calmly and expectantly for new and greater experiences to come to me.

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.

Law of Liberty

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.--James 1:25

It[God] was not created in the past, nor is it to be annihilated in the future; it is eternal, permanent, absolute; and from all eternity it sufficiently embraces in its essence all possible merits.--The Mahayana

Jesus tells us that we should look to the perfect law of liberty, follow its precepts, and then we shall be blessed in our deeds. This means to keep the eye single, or centered, on the Presence, the Power, and the Responsiveness of God's Spirit. The Law of God would have to be a law of liberty, since bondage could not come from freedom any more than death could be born of the Principle of Life. We often wonder why we are so limited, and too frequently project the blame for our limitations upon the universe or essentially our cirumstances. This is a psychological trick that we play in ignorance of the true Reality. Limitation is not imposed upon us by the universe, but through our own ignorance and elusional self(ego). Every scientific discovery since the beginning of recorded history tends to prove this. The Invisible takes temporary form in our experience.

I look upon these forms as the play of Life upon Itself. In our own experience we become through God's Creative Wisdom cocreators in our personal affairs. This Divine Creative Spirit embraces every possible action. There is no greater freedom to be found or given.

Each new day I open my consciousness to this freedom and to the Divine Influx, expecting greater wisdom, more definite guidance, and more complete self-expression.

Today, I lift up my consciousness and receive a more abundant expression. I bless everything and know that all good will multiply in my experience. I expect only good. I live in a state of joyous anticipation, as well as quiet realization. I expect the All Good and Perfect to manifest in my experience today and everyday.

God Personified

Theirs was the fullness of heaven and earth; the more that they gave to others, the more they had.--Kwang-Tze

'Tis Love Itself that worketh the one harmony of all. Therefore, let us sing the praise of God.'--Hermes

We are the children of God; and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.--Romans 8:16-17

Jesus said,"Give and to you shall be given." All the great scriptures have announced this central and transcendent truth, realizing that every act carries with it a sequence, bringing the result of this action back to the self. Emerson called it the Law of Compensation, and Jesus proclaimed the same law in his teaching that as we sow, so shall we reap. This is why Kwang-Tze tells us that the more we give to others the more we have. Walt Whitman also refers to this when he says, "The gift is most to the giver and comes back most to him."

We are to view ourselves each in the other and behold God in all. Hermes tells us that when we realize Love as the great harmony, we shall all sing the praise of God. Before we can do this we must perceive this harmony in one another and in everything. Thus, everything that seems separated is actually united at the root.

Today I see God in everything, personified in all people, made manifest in every event and experience. I believe that the Spirit of God is never separated from the person or the event/experience. Today I recognize that I, too, am an instrument of God's perfection, and today I recognize my union, which is perfect, good and complete.

Universal Reflection

I am the Lord, I change not.--Malachi 3:6

The Tao, considered as unchanging, has no name.--Text of Taoism

The Tao cannot be heard; what can be heard is not It. The Tao cannot be seen; what can be seen is not It. The Tao cannot be expressed in words; what can be expressed in words is not It. Do we know the Formless which gives form to form? In the same way the Tao does not admit of being.--Kwang-Tze

Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is high as heaven.....The measure thereof is larger than the earth, and broader than the sea.--Job 11:7-9

Job asks us if we can find God by searching. He means that since God is everywhere, and since the subtle essence of the Infinite is invisible, we do not have to search out the Divine Spirit, but, rather, we should recognize It as the center of our life and all that exists.

That which we see when we look to the heavens, the stars, the planets, even planet earth is merely a reflection of this invisible Presence of God. In reality there is no space or time. What we see is a reflection of the Life of God that knows no space or time, where there is no beginning or end. The form I see when I look into a mirror is a refection of the form God makes. The Spirit Itself cannot be seen, but It is felt, just as we do not see God but we do feel the Divine in everything. The Creator is revealed in Its creation. The Formless gives rise to the formed.

I unite myself with this invisible Essence that pervades everything, that which is undivided and eternal. To do this is to find wholeness.

Today I feel that I merge with the Infinite and I see myself in the reflection of God's pool of Creative Spirit and Life. While there seems to be a beginning and an end to my life experience, there is neither. Even though I was born and I will die to this experience, my real life, my true existence is eternal and omnipresent in God, secure in Good, and Perfect in Divine Reality.

Today I Live

Pray not that sinners may perish, but that the sin itself may disappear.--The Talmud

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.--Revelation 21:4

Today I live. Today I express perfect life as I was meant to do. Today I live in the reality of the perfect Life of God where there exist no fear, no doubt or uncertainty, no evil, no lack or limitation. Any mistakes or negations of my past are cleared from consciousness and therefore removed permanently from my existence. I live in the eternal Life of God.

The wisest man who ever lived told us that the knowledge of Truth shall make us free. He also taught that it is not the one who makes the mistake whom we should seek to destroy; it is the mistake itself which must be erased. Now, this means that evil has no existence in itself and has no history. No matter what the negations of yesterday may have been, my affirmations of today rise to transcend over them all. Thus all the evils of my yesterdays disappear into their native nothingness.

Where is the false, the untrue, and the evil when the knowledge of Truth has made me free? Its days are as though they had never been; its cause is netralized; hence it leaves no effect. Stop the weeping, the worrying over the shortcomings and mistakes of the past and, instead steadfastly behold the face of the great and the divine Reality. Today and tomorrow I will walk in that light wherein there is no darkness.

Faith

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.--Hebrews 11:1

Faith is more than an objective statement. We do not have perfect faith while any subjective contradictions deny the affirmations of our lips or our thoughts. This is why the Bible tells us that we must know in our heart. Heart symbolizes the innermost center of our being.

When the intellect is no longer contradicted by my emotional reactions, by unconscious doubts and fears, then the word of my mouth will immediately bear fruit.

Today I have faith that my word shall not return unto me void. Today I surrender myself completely to this faith, for I know that there is a creative Spirit that gives substance to this faith and that will provide the evidence of this substance in actual manifestations. I expect good and perfect things and I rejoice in the anticipation of this good and perfect manifestations in my life. Faith operates through an immutable Law of God and that there is no possibility whatsoever of its failing.

Today, by faith, I ask and I receive only good and perfect things like love, joy, peace, happiness, good health, wealth and prosperity, and passion for loving to be made manifest in my life. I see and I embrace the Presence of God in everything and everyone.

Abundance

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.--Psalm 37:5

It is written that the Law of the Lord is perfect; therefore, when I commit my ways unto the Lord, I am automatically using this perfect Law, even in the most trivial things of life. To this Law, there is neither great nor small. It is always responding to me by corresponding with my mental attitude toward It. As my mental attitude can be consciously controlled, I know that I can always make conscious use of the Law of Good.

Today I have faith in the Law of Good(God). Today I guard my thinking, consciously endeavoring to think affirmatively and with faith. I believe that the Law of the Lord will bring every Good and Perfect thing to me and will bless everyone whom I hold in my conscious mind reality. Knowing that the Law of Good(God) operates through my word, I speak this word with implicit confidence, with complete acceptance, and with absolute abandonment to good.

Understanding

Be a simple man, be a man who loves and understands....--Lynyrd Skynyrd

As all scriptures tell us, true understanding comes from a spiritual perception of the Divine Unity back of all things. Knowledge is of the intellect; wisdom and understanding are of the heart. Those who have had true spiritual understanding have always taught us of the unity of good, that we are one in essence with the Spirit of God. All that is real is the Reality of God, nothing else exist.

Today I permit my spiritual understanding to penetrate everything that seems opposed to good. I perceive the One Cause, the One Presence, and the One Purpose. Today I consciously align myself with this Divine Presence that runs through me and everything. I open the gates of my consciousness and with enthusiasm, through recognition and acknowledgement, permit God's Spirit of Wholeness and the Spirit of Oneness, to flow through me and abide in my conscious mind. I know there is One God, one Spiritual Self, one perfect Law, and one eternal Life that I live.

The True Temple

Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you?--1 Corinthians 6:19

Emerson said that "God builds His temple in the heart," and Seneca said that "God is to be consecrated in the breast of each." St. Augustine said that "the pure mind is a holy temple for God." To realize that God is in us, with us, and for us, is the first step toward understanding that we are the temple of the Holy Ghost. It is the realization of this Spirit at the center of everything that enables us to see God in everything and everyone.

I believe that the conscious mind is the temple of the Christ Mind and we must control the conscious mind so that it functions through it allowing the Spirit of God to control the intellect. Because of this there is a divine patern of perfection at the center of my being. I will no longer think of my physical body as being separated from this Spiritual Presence which is God. The Presence is the Cause, the body is the effect, and the two are one.

Today I could ask for anything, believing it has been made manifest in my life and I indeed receive. I ask this day that only love, joy, peace, happiness, passion for loving everyone and everything, good health, wealth and prosperity, wisdom, right thinking and guidance be made manifest in my life. It is done.

Mind of Christ

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.--Philippians 2:5

This scriptural passage means that we should recognize the Divine Incarnation, universal in essence, but individualized in personal experience. The spiritual genius of Jesus enabled him to see that each is a unique representation, an individualized expression of One Mind. The Mind of God in us is the Mind of Christ. At the center of every man's being the Eternal Christ waits, knocking at the door of his intellect for admission. This is not a faraway Presence, nor a future advent. The consciousness that walked over the troubled waters of human experience, the inner calm that stilled the tempest, is accessible to everyone.

I know that the Christ in me is always triumphant. I know that Christ in me is one with God; there is no separation, no isolation, no aloneness, no fear or doubt, no lack or limitation.

Today I expect and receive great experiences that are Good and Perfect. Today I expect Good and Perfect love, joy, peace, happiness, good health, wealth and prosperity, wisdom, guidance and clear thinking.

Prayers of Affirmation

What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.--Mark 11:24

How simply Jesus tells us that whatever we need we shall receive, if we believe that we have it! Why is it so hard, then, for us to believe that the divine gift is forever made? Prayer is a sincere desire of the mind and intellect to enter into conscious union with the Divine Presence and to receive direct from It every good thing that makes life worthwhile.

My prayer today is one of affirmation. I accept the Divine beneficence and the eternal giving of the Spirit. Today I lift high my cup of acceptance, knowing that the universal Horn of Plenty fills it to overflowing. This shall include everything I need, whether it be health, happiness, or wisdom. Today my mind is open and my consciousness receives the Kingdom into itself.

Today is a Good and Perfect day! Only Good and Perfect love, joy, peace, happiness, good health, wealth and prosperity are made manifest in my life this day and every day. I give thanks for this Truth.

Forgiveness

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions....For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.--Isaiah 44:22

I refuse to carry the negations of yesterday into today. I forgive and I am forgiven. I love and I am loved. Whatever the mistakes of yesterday may have been, today is a new creation. Today I loose all condemnation. I judge not, and I am judged only by the Law of Good(God). There is no animosity, no criticism, no hatred. I shall behold the face of love, of beauty, and of peace in everyone I meet this day. I know that every right motive has the blessing of the Spirit of God that is in me, for me and all around me. There is nothing that opposes this blessing or denies this Divine gift.

Infinite Mind

The Bible speaks of the House of Bondage and the House of Freedom. Symbolically, it tells us that we must come "out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage," that we must be led by the Divine Spirit of God into that true home, which is heaven. Jesus said that "in my Father's house are many mansions." House is often a symbol of the physical body and I believe Jesus speaks of "that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." House is a symbol of any of the "vehicles, bodies, or habitations of the soul."

Today I permit my mental house to come into peace. Jesus also said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32) But to be at peace I must first be set free and the truth that sets us free is our realization and acceptance that we are one with God. The truth that Jesus proclaimed would make us free lies only in the conscious communion of the soul with its Source, the conscious union of each individual with God, the conscious union of the heart's desire with the Source of its Being.

Today I know that this truth makes me free from fear, doubt, and uncertainty. From this truth flows peace, love, joy, happiness and passion for loving into my life, my reality. By accepting this truth, I affirm that there is One Infinite Mind, which is consciously directing my destiny.

Humanity

Have we not all one Father? Hath not one God created us?--Malachi 2:10

Arthur Compton, in The Freedom of Man, tells us that science has discovered nothing that contradicts the idea of a Universal Mind, or Spirit(God), of which all people are offspring or emanations. It would be impossible to converse with each other unless there were a common medium or, as Emerson said, "one mind common to all people." It is impossible to depart from this Divine Presence, to be separated from this heavenly Father, which is the Parent Mind. Since God is everywhere, wherever we are, God is.

Eternal Progress

Today I embrace fully the Presence of God(Spirit) within me, and It blesses me and everyone I meet, heals everything It touches, brings gladness into the life of everyone I contact. I recognize all sources as Divine and from God.

I am at the center in the Consciousness of God. I am an individual action being moved by the Action of God. I am eternal. Therefore, I do not have to wait for immortality. The resurrection of life is today. Jesus demonstrated that I am birthless, deathless, changeless and eternal. Living today as though I were an immortal being, I allow all thought of death, all fear of change to slip from me. I step out of the tomb of uncertainty and into the light of eternal day. Joyfully I am resurrected into that which is beautiful, enduring, and true. Silently I pass from less to more, from isolation into inclusion, from separation into oneness.

Today, realizing that there is nothing in my past that can rise against me, nothing in my future that can menace the unfoldment of my experience, I declare that life will be an eternal adventure of greater and better experiences. I revel in the contemplation of the immeasurable future, the path of eternal progress and the immortality of my own being.

My Soul At Peace

Today and everyday when a problem confronts me, I take it into the silence of my consciousness and instead of thinking of the problem, I think of the answer. The Divine Presence of God guides me, guards me, and protects me. It counsels me with wisdom. It sustains and upholds me in everything I do. I believe and affirm the Universal Law that comes from the Mind of God and by my faith and belief causes the Law to bring into my experience those things that I may not understand but I accept.

I know that today I am free and unhindered. I feel the operation of Divine Love and Universal Law in my affairs. I know that everything I do today is governed by Love and controlled through this Law. I am most conscious that I am one with all people. In true Reality, there is no race or gender, only Spirit.

In complete reliance upon this Divine Spirit and with absolute faith in the goodness of God, I lay aside everything within me that contradicts the Divine and know that today peace, love, joy, good health, fulfillment, wealth and prosperity are mine. Today my soul is at peace, immortal and rejoicing in the eternal movement of Mind, of Spirit, and of God in all my affairs.

Goodness of God

I know that there is no influence, either visible or invisible, other than the influence of pure Spirit(God), acting and animating perfectly upon myself and all people. I know that there is no presence but Love(God), and no power but the Creative Spirit, which has neither enemy nor opposite. Goodness, joy, and peace abide with me today.

Today I believe that every affirmation I make will immediately take effect in my life. I fill every statement with joy; therefore, I expect joyful happenings. I fill every statement with love; therefore, I anticipate love in all relationships. I fill every statement with kindness, with tolerance, and with divine understanding; therefore, I expect all of my relationships to be harmonious.

I believe with a deep, inward calm that my word of faith is the execution of spiritual Law in my life. I know that my word penetrates any and every unbelief in my thought; it casts out fear, removes doubts, and permits that which is enduring, perfect, and true to enter into my consciousness and into my reality.

Today I proclaim my divine inheritance. I am rich with the richness of God. I am strong with the power of God. I am guided by the wisdom of God. I am held in the goodness of God, today.

Endless Unfoldment

A universal and infinite Intelligence(God) governs everything, holds everything in its place, and directs the course of everything. The Intelligence that governs the planets in their courses is the same Intelligence that is manifesting in me.

I choose to be governed by the Wisdom of God in everything I think, say, or do today. Since there is nothing large or small to the Infinite, there is nothing in my experience beyond Its action. Today I affirm the presence of this Wisdom, accepting and acknowledging Its action in my every endeavor. I permit It to guide me in every circumstance. Today I free myself from all past mistakes and know that I shall receive full compensation for every right thought.

God directs my path. There is no uncertainty or confusion. The Divine Spirit of God in me always knows what to do and how to do it, so I am never without guidance in the successful achievement of my good desires. My every thought, act, and purpose is guided by this Wisdom. I expect new and wonderful experiences to come to me today and everyday. I live my life in complete confidence that I am on the pathway of endless unfoldment, walking in the Light of infinite Wisdom.

My Spirit Is Free

I rejoice that my spirit is free. Every past sense of limitation melts away and every good I have experienced is increased. Every joy that has come into my life is multiplied and there is a new influx of inspiration into my thoughts today. I see more clearly than ever that my Divine birthright, made in the Spiritual image of God, is freedom, joy and abundant good.

I know that God's Spirit is not limited in any way, so neither am I. Today I let go of all restricting ideas. Knowing that Life gives according to my faith, I lift my thought and elevate my faith this day. I accept the Divine Presence as now bountifully expressing peace and harmony in my life. Spirit will never fail me if I never fail to believe in Its goodness and Its responsiveness to my heart's desire. I believe God is for me and within me, therefore nothing can be against me. Today I will cease merely to exist; I will live free.

In the awareness that God indwells my life, that God is my life, I know that my spirit is released from all lack and limitation. Good and Perfect things like love, joy, peace, happiness, good health, wealth and prosperity are made manifest in my life this day and everyday. Today I rejoice and give thanks that my spirit is forever free.

Richness of God

I am always receptive to the gift of abundance that God has already made. Today I accept the gift of God' s abundance. Everything that I am and that I have is increased by it. I identify everything I do with success. I think affirmatively and in all my prayers I accept abundance. Whatever I need, whenever I need it, whereever I need it, for as long as I need it, will always be at hand. I no longer see negation or delay or stagnation in my endeavors. The action of God's living Spirit in me makes everything I do prosper, increases every good I possess, and brings success to me and everyone I meet.

Today I have a higher realization of the richness that is God.

Kingdom of Good

I refuse to worry about anything today. I have complete confidence that the God who is always with me is able and willing to direct everything I do, to control all my affairs, to lead me into the pathway of peace and happiness.

Today, I release every sense of condemnation, either against myself or others. I refuse to accept any thoughts of animosity. I now understand that there is a Principle(Law) and a Presence in every person gradually drawing that person into the Kingdom of Good(God). As Jesus stated, I also believe that the Kingdom of God is at hand, and I am resolved to enter it, to possess it, and to let it possess me.

I know that the Life in me has energy that is inexhaustible and whose intelligence is without limit. It is Life(God) Itself. I know that I am not limited by anything that has happened or by anything that is now happening. Today as I enter into an entirely new set of conditions and circumstances, I know that which has no limit is flowing through my consciousness into action.

The Secret Of Life

Since all things are possible to God, then all things are possible for me, which is also my true nature. I believe I have discovered the secret of life. I know that I have an inner spiritual reality that gives power to everything I do. I accept that this Divine Power is with me at all times, through eternity. Since this Power cannot fail, I will not fail. Since this Divine Presence cannot be divided or made unwhole, then my knowledge of my union with this Presence makes me whole. Since this Supreme Universal Intelligence cannot lack knowledge or wisdom, I know that I am divinely guided. Since the Eternal Mind of God, which dwells within me, is forever at peace, I know that I am led onto pathways of peace and great joy. Since God is all there is, I know that I dwell in intimate union with the only Presence and the only Power that exist. This is the Secret of Life.

God Loves

I attended my son's wedding this past weekend on Long Island and the priest, Father Bob, made some very profound and unexpected comments during the ceremony. He said that God loves us through the people and things we attract into our lives. For example, he told my son that God is loving him through Amanda, his new wife, and God is loving Amanda by bringing Tyler into her life. He stated that this is not the result of fate which I thought was interesting. He also stated that God is closer than our own breath which I thought was excellent and very metaphysical coming from the traditional Catholic perspective. It was a beautiful ceremony and I felt very blessed to be a part of this Good and Perfect event in my family's life. I have never seen Tyler more happy and at peace. All our lives are made whole when we accept and receive the Gifts of God's Love.

One Source

"I will not leave thee nor forsake thee." Our divine nature never deserts us. Like the prodigal son, we may wander into far countries of despair, but God's Spirit within us ever gently urges us back to the center of our true being, to the one Source; It ever reminds us of God's presence.

Today, I acknowledge and affirm this True Self, the only True Reality, knowing that God will instantly supply me with whatsoever things I need. Today I consciously open my eyes to enter the Kingdom of Heaven within me. I affirm the indwelling Christ, that part of me that is perfect in God, that immortal Self that is birthless, deathless, and changeless. I live today, I move, and have my being in this Divine Reality.

"In God there is life; in God there is peace; in God there is wholeness." There is no need for sorrow, no need for fear or regret. In the Life of God where I live and exist there is no anxiety or despair, no fear or doubt, no lack or limitation. I affirm the wholeness of God and I am made whole. Today, I keep my vision and my thoughts on my belief that there is One God, One Power, One Presence, and One Reality from which I can never be separated from. I am one with God and I acknowledge and affirm the source of my true self and reality in God.

My Heart's Desire

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.—Psalm 37:4

When the dawn breaks and the shadows flee, when the hills are touched with the rosy glow of the sun’s first rays, I wake to the thought that I am one with all life. I lift mine eyes to the Eastern sky and sing with the joy of one who beholds the Eternal Presence in everything.—Ernest Holmes

I know that there is a Divine Pilot steering my boat safely to a harbor of peace, to an environment of happiness, and to a haven of good. Therefore, I am not afraid, even when the billows roll and the wind sweeps by, for there is a Divine hand guiding my ship; there is an invisible Presence at the wheel. I lift the sails of faith and let the winds of love fill them with the mighty power of the Divine Presence. My boat rides upon a sea of Pure Spirit and finds safe anchorage everywhere, always.—Ernest Holmes

Today and every day, I permit my mind to become saturated with the Divine Ideal of God. In everything I do this day I will have a greater sense of this Divine Presence, sustaining, upholding, and guiding me. My joy, my happiness, my peace is increased as I rejoice in my unity with God, my creator and Life.

I am guided by Divine Intelligence, which goes before me and makes Good and Perfect my way. I am given freedom to rise above fear, impoverishment, and limitation. Today I exercise dominion over my environment, over every circumstance and condition that I contact. The joy of Life flows into my thought and work. Peace and harmony attend everything I do. Love and protection are ever present. Today I know that every worthy desire of my heart is fulfilled.
