MY SELECTION DETERMINES MY EXPERIENCE

“There is One Mind, and all the powers and privileges which lie in any, lie in all; and I, as a man, may claim and appropriate whatever of true or fair or good or strong has anywhere been exhibited.” 

Emerson

The universe is a spiritual system, and it gives to all men alike.  God in His creation knows neither great nor small.  It knows me only as an outlet of Its Ideas and Its Love.  To me is given all power in mind and in control of matter.  My authority is from on high, and the material thought of man cannot negate it. I stand in control of situations, I experience.  As my thinking determines my control of situations, I now assume my Divine Prerogative and think only of the things I desire.  No evil can withstand my determined spiritual mentation.  The gates of hell may open, but the windows of heaven shall still outpour me a blessing and triumph will always be mine.

THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

“The genius of man is a continuation of the power that made him and that has not done making him.” 

Emerson

I have faith in an unlimited God, my own unlimited possibility, and an unlimited world in which I function. I see all restriction as temporary negative experience which can be healed by my highest thought of God.  Today, I am determined to live as a free agent of an unlimited Mind that knows only my possibility and is not interested in my own wrong beliefs.  God wants me to express Him today.  God has not finished creating, and His Plan for me unfolds with certainly and with precision.  I let Mind be in me what It has planned to be, and my success is sure.

I ACCEPT MYSELF AS THE HEALTH OF GOD   

“Mind is the only reality of which men and all other natures are better or worse reflectors.” 

Emerson

The natural state of all life is health.  Life is so organized that under normal circumstances It must be health.  Left to Its own devices the action of God in man maintains him in health.  Therefore, I let the Divine be in me what It planned to be, and my health is automatic.  I remove every mental and emotional obstruction to the already perfect Intelligence governing my body.  I am a spiritual being, operating through consciousness and experiencing body.  My body cannot make me ill, for Mind alone is cause.  I rejoice in my victory over disease.

I RECOGNIZE BUT ONE MIND, THE MIND OF GOD

“There is one mind common to all individual men.  Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same.  He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate.” 

Emerson

If there is but one mind, then God must be that Mind, and therefore God must be my mind now.  The unity of creation is evidence of One Creative Cause, and the process of creation is indicative that this Cause is pure Intelligence in action.  The world in which I live is the mind of God made visible.  The body I wear is Intelligence clothing me with a vehicle of accomplishment.  The works of my consciousness, my hands and my efforts are the outlets through which I release the one Mind into form.  I now accept the responsibility of knowing myself as the Mind of God in action. Continue reading “June 24, 2017 – I RECOGNIZE BUT ONE MIND, THE MIND OF GOD”

I SIMPLIFY MY UNDERSTANDING OF GOD

“Whenever a mind is simple and receives a divine wisdom, old things pass away, – means, teachers, texts, temples fall; it lives now, and absorbs past and future into the present hours.”   

Emerson   

Jesus was not interested in the logics of theology; He was primarily concerned with the Spirit in man.  I now turn to the Spirit within me, and find It in all Its greatness and all Its peace.  There is an interior Christ-Mind that baffles all reasoning, and is beyond all human explanation.  In me at this moment, God abides in fullness, in richness, in omniscience.  My life today is the Life of God.  My thinking this day is accomplished because the God-Mind thinks through me.  My capacity to be a great and loving person is because greatness born of the Spirit indwells me. Continue reading “June 23, 2017 – I SIMPLIFY MY UNDERSTANDING OF GOD”

MY RELIGION IS OF TODAY’S GOD

“As soon as every man is apprised of the Divine Presence within his own mind, – is apprised that the perfect law of duty corresponds with the laws of chemistry, vegetation, astronomy, as face to face in a glass; then we have a religion that exalts, that commands all the social and all the private action.”  

Emerson

The world of today is my world, and the Cause of it I consider in today’s language.  I see my world as the operation of an Intelligence which must be Mind, a Power which must bear witness of Divine Love.  While I respect the beliefs of the past, yet I must seek my God today.  I can accept a perfect Mind, an unalterable Law and an interpenetration of Love.  This is understandable to me, and workable by me.  I believe myself to be of Divine Importance.  I believe that He who brought me forth indwells me and acts through me.  God in me is my reason for being. Continue reading “June 22, 2017 – MY RELIGION IS OF TODAY’S GOD”

I KNOW THAT SICKNESS IS UNNECESSARY TO GOD’S CREATION 

“We cannot describe the natural history of the soul, but we know it is divine.  But this I know, that these wonderful qualities did not now begin to exist, cannot be sick with my sickness, nor buried in any grave; but that they circulate through the universe: before the world was, they were.” 

Emerson

I accept myself as a healthy, whole person endowed with Divine life and the wisdom to maintain It in freedom of action.  I am unconvinced by all the reports of disease and their many classifications.  I condemn no one who believes them or experiences them, but I am certain that God is unaware of illness.  I have faith that the Intelligence which created my body will maintain it in perfect action, if I will cooperate.  In me the Spirit of Wholeness abides and remains untouched by the errors of body.  The Christ in me is never ill, and never depleted.  God in me is the same yesterday, today and forever.

I AM A GROWING MIND IN AN UNLIMITED GOD 

“The life of man is a self-evolving circle, which from a ring imperceptibly small, rushes on all sides outward to new and larger circles, and without end.” 

Emerson

I decide to grow in wisdom and in understanding.  I decide to give up the half-truth and base my whole life upon the one Truth which forever imparts Itself to me.  No more good and evil, no more right and wrong.  God alone is good and Truth alone is right. I refuse to stagnate at any intellectual level of knowledge, for all true wisdom comes from growth with understanding. What I now know is merely the doorstep to what I shall know.  Greater ideas of God come to me each moment, and these cause me to walk forward with consistent enlargement of consciousness.  I thank God that I can grow in His ways. Continue reading “June 20. 2017 – I AM A GROWING MIND IN AN UNLIMITED GOD”

I NO LONGER INDULGE IN NEGATIVES  

“We lie open on one side to the deeps of spiritual nature, to the attributes of God.  Justice we see and know, Love, Freedom, Power.”  

Emerson

The spirit of the Lord is within me, and I am resolved to live positively.  The Bible states that man is the image of a perfect God.  Therefore, I must have the potential of perfection, and this perfection must be positive. I now align myself with the positive side of life.  It is divinely natural to be positive, optimistic and expectant of good.  These are the bases of all healing, for they are the way God works through me.  If God is my life, then I should express health.  If God is my supply, then I should express abundance and freedom in finance.  I have faith that these ideas are true, and that they now act for me. Continue reading “June 19, 2017 – I NO LONGER INDULGE IN NEGATIVES”

LET HEAVEN HAPPEN TO ME TODAY

“From within or behind, a light shines through us upon things and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.”

Emerson

Within me now is the Light of Life, and I let It reveal Its perfect nature in all that I do.  I am willing to step aside from all petty thinking and place God first and foremost in my experience today.  I know that more Good is seeking to express through me than I can ever know.  All that the Father-Mind has is within me offering Itself to me.  Peace is in my environment, prosperity is in my finances and health rules my body, as I let God dominate my consciousness.  It is a great relief to know that I need not work, but merely know truth and let it happen to me.
