I HAVE COMPLETE CONFIDENCE IN THE LAW OF GOOD

When Heaven and Man exert their power in concert, all transformations have their commencements determined.

The Texts of Taoism

 The good in which you believe can triumph over every evil you have experienced.  You have a silent partnership with the Infinite.  This partnership has never been dissolved, it never can be.  You are to have implicit confidence in your own ability, knowing that it is the nature of thought to externalize itself in your affairs, knowing that you are the thinker.  Continue reading “Sept. 25, 2018 – I HAVE COMPLETE CONFIDENCE IN THE LAW OF GOOD”

THE ESSENCE OF LOVE EXPRESSES THROUGH ME AS HARMONY

 

Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Philippians 2:2

“The law of the Lord is perfect,” and the law of the Lord is love.  You are made perfect in the law when you enter into conscious communion with the love.  It is only through love that the law can fulfill itself in your experience, because love harmonizes everything, unifies everything.  You can never make the most perfect use of the law of your life unless that use is motivated by love. Continue reading “Sept. 24, 20 18 – THE ESSENCE OF LOVE EXPRESSES THROUGH ME AS HARMONY”

I SENSE THE DIVINE PRESENCE WITHIN ME

Conceiving nothing is impossible unto thyself, think thyself deathless and able to know all – all arts, all sciences, the way of every life.

Thrice-Greatest Hermes

The Spirit of God is an undivided and indivisible Wholeness.  It fills all time with Its presence and people space with the activity of Its thought.  Your endeavor, then, is not so much to find God as it is to realize His Presence and to understand that this Presence is always with you.  Nothing can be nearer to you that that which is the very essence of your being.  Continue reading “Sept. 23, 2018 – I SENSE THE DIVINE PRESENCE WITHIN ME”

I PARTAKE OF THE DIVINE BOUNTY

 This is the goodness of God.  He bestoweth it on whom He will; God is of immense goodness!

The Koran

Today you are to identify yourself with the more abundant life, to think on those things which make for peace, to dwell on the unity which underlies everything.  As you poise yourself in the realization that you live in pure Spirit, new power will be born within you.  You will find yourself renewed by the Divine Life, led by Divine intelligence and guarded by Divine love. Continue reading “Sept. 22, 2018 – I PARTAKE OF THE DIVINE BOUNTY”

MY FAITH MAKES ME WHOLE

Yea, thou shalt not find any variableness in the way of God.

The Koran

Faith is a mental attitude.  A certain man came to Jesus, and, from the inspiration of his hope and the enthusiasm of the occasion, standing in the light of one whose wick of life was ever kept trimmed and burning, feeling the warmth and color of its eternal glow, exclaimed, “I believe!”  This was a simple, sincere and enthusiastic response to the consciousness of one who had faith.  But no sooner had he exclaimed, “I believe!” out of the enthusiasm of his will to believe, than old thought patterns arose to block his faith and he said, “Help thou mine unbelief.”

Faith then is more than an objective statement.  Perfect faith cannot exist while there are subjective contradictions that deny the affirmation of the lips.  It is only when the intellect is no longer obstructed by negative reactions arising from experiences of doubt and fear that the words of the mouth can immediately bear fruit.  Say:

I believe with a deep inward calm that my word of faith is the execution of spiritual Law in my life.

I have absolute reliance upon the Law of Good.

I believe that the Law of Good will bring everything desirable into my experience.

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.

GUIDANCE AND WISDOM BELONG TO ME

Thou hast begotten the Man in Thy self-born Mind, and in Thy Reflection and conception.  He is the man begotten of Mind, to whom Reflection gave form.

Fragments of a Faith Forgotten

Realizing that all action starts in, and is a result of, consciousness, prepare your mind to receive the best that life has to offer.  Become increasingly aware of the one Presence, the one Life and the one Spirit, which is God.  Try to drop all sense of lack or limitation from your thought.  The Spirit works for you through your belief.  All things are possible to this Spirit; therefore, everything is possible to you in such a degree as you can believe in and accept the operation of Spirit in your life.  There is something within you which is completely aware of its oneness with power, of its unity with Life.  Loose all thoughts of discord and fear, and permit the true pattern to come to the surface.  Say:

I allow the Divine Wholeness to flow through me in ever widening circles of activity.

Every good I have experienced is now increased.

Every joy that has come into my life is now multiplied.

There is a new influx of inspiration into my thought.

I see more clearly than ever before that my divine birthright is freedom, joy and eternal goodness.

The Divine Presence interprets Itself to me through love and friendship, through peace and harmony.

Knowing that life gives according to my faith, I lift my mind, I elevate my faith, I listen deeply to the song of my being.

I CLAIM MY DIVINE INHERITANCE

Seek for the great (mysteries) and the little shall be added unto you; seek for the heavenly and the earthy shall be added unto you.

Fragments of a Faith Forgotten

 

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God.”  Your kingdom of God is at hand.  The riches, power, glory and might of this kingdom are yours today.  You do not rob others by entering into the fullness of your kingdom of joy, your kingdom of abundance.  You recognize that all people belong to the same kingdom.  You are merely claiming for yourself what you would that the law of good should be unto all. Continue reading “Sept. 19, 2018 – I CLAIM MY DIVINE INHERITANCE”

MY WORD ACCOMPLISHES

 So likewise thou in all thy speech Swerve never from the path of truth.

Buddhism in Translations

You are either attracting or repelling in accord with your mental attitudes.  You are either identifying yourself with lack or with abundance, with love and friendship or with indifference.  You cannot keep from attracting into your experience that which corresponds to the sum total of your states of consciousness. Continue reading “Sept. 18, 2018 – MY WORD ACCOMPLISHES”

MY BODY IS A TEMPLE OF SPIRIT

If you keep your body as it should be, and look only at the one thing, the Harmony of Heaven will come to you.

Kwang-Tze

Your body is a temple of the living Spirit.  It is spiritual substance.  Since the Spirit of God has entered into your being, your life is spiritual.  The Supreme Being, ever present, exists at the very center of your thought.  This Presence within you has the power to make all things new.  Continue reading “Sept. 17, 2018 – MY BODY IS A TEMPLE OF SPIRIT”

 I AM INSPIRED FROM ON HIGH

All is the effect of all, one universal Essence.

Brihad Aranyaka Upanishad

Jesus, in utmost simplicity, proclaimed in the ecstasy of his illumination, “I and the Father are one.”  What do you suppose would happen if you believed this, not as a mere intellectual concept, but with deep inward feeling and an expanding sense of its meaning? Continue reading “Sept. 16, 2018 –  I AM INSPIRED FROM ON HIGH”
