THERE IS A GLORY IN MY HEART

I was a secret treasure, and I created the creatures in order that I might be known.

Hadith

Warm is the love of the Eternal and it glows within me, satisfying my soul.  The heart of God beats within me its rhythmic harmony of glory.  I am fed in all my depths of emotional need by this inner well of Compassion.  The universe glows with kindliness.  Every man offers me the warmth of and the joy of friendliness.  The Glory of God is upon me and I rest in Its perfect action.  I sense the Divine Friendliness of the world in which I live.  All things work together for my good, and all people appreciate and love me. This deep inner sense of well-being is now forever established, and never again shall I feel loneliness.  Glory abides within me.

The expanding power of God is the joy of my soul.  Every mood of good increases and every feeling of goodness is accentuated.  The Holy Spirit of Peace is upon me and resident in me.  Glorious is my day, and rejoicing is in my heart.  God’s wonderful life within me is not completely explicable.  More than my other mind can describe, more than my intellect can define, is the Glory within me.  Beyond all description is the inner peace and the inner glow.  God in me is a terrific presence of power, love and peace.  This inner deep feeling of greatness now takes control of my thought.

I not only know the Mind of God, but I feel the Presence of the Spirit.  I arise and shine, for the Glory of God is within me, and peace does fill my world.  The Light of Truth is within me, and a feeling of greatness arises.  God in me is saying to me that I am His beloved creation.  To me He gives all that He is, and all He has.  This is wonderful and this is heartwarming.  Warm on the inside and wise on the outside I can accomplish my aims.  The Holy Spirit is in my mind now.  Divine Love floods my emotions.  Glorious is my thinking, and glorious is my experience.  God is my all, no more can I seek.  Omnipresence warms me and Omniscience guides me into a friendlier experience.

DEMONSTRATIONS FOLLOW MY WORD

Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can have a word with him?

Chuang Tzu 26

There is nothing to obstruct the Spiritual word that I speak. All the power of God is for me, and all the power of God is working through me.  As I make these statements of Truth, the Truth happens in my world.  I speak the Truth, and the Truth sets me free.  This word is not dependent upon my will, for it is the action of God taking place through me.  I now declare my own spiritual perfection as a Child of Omnipotence.  I speak the Truth and the Truth happens to me.  Health appears in my body for I know God as the health of my mind.  Strength flows through me and vitality is instantly available.  I am free in body to do all those things which need to be done.  I am health.

My prosperity is definite, for God thinks His prosperous ideas through me.  I now demonstrate permanent abundance.  I live with wisdom, but I live with ease.  All the Substance of Mind is in action as my immediate and permanent prosperity.  I use money for I see it as God’s mean of maintaining me in freedom.  This flow of good is right where I am, and is happening this moment.  I declare my freedom in finance.  God is my supply right now.  What I need, the One Mind provides this day. All life is backing me up as I make this statement.  Even my own subconscious fears cannot prevent this demonstration.  My word is a law unto that to which I speak it.  It is God declaring Himself by means of me.

I accept demonstration as normal.  God has offered Himself to me, and I let His Mind do what It desires.  The Infinite loves me.  The Infinite appreciates me.  The Infinite wants me to be at peace.  This I now accept as my demonstrations.  My destiny has been given into my hands by the Spirit, and I select my world as carefully as I would select a gift.  I choose what I want, and declare it.  I let the Law of Mind bring forth my decisions.  Unlimited, save by my own wrong beliefs, I stand in a Process Divine which works for me, as I direct It.  Demonstrations follow demonstrations hourly.  Good appears on every hand.  Love offers Itself to me and God gives me what I want.

HAVING RECEIVED LIGHT, I PASS IT ON TO OTHERS

O send out thy light and thy truth.

Psalm 43:3

The Light of Truth is within me, and I release It in every thought and feeling.  This Light of God has always been in me, yet only lately have I realized what it was.  I now know that It is the Divine using me as a center of perfect operation. I know that it is the Truth which I have sought and now found.  I know that it is my highest Self, and that I am It right here in my present circumstances.  God in me at this moment illuminates my whole consciousness and I am free of all un-truth.  Alerted to the Light, I give this Light to others.  Every word I speak is a light to men.  Every thought I think is a treatment to all whom I know.

The Light of Truth cannot be dimmed.  I may not see It some of the time, but It remains within me awaiting my recognition.  This Light is the light of my world.  As I look out at my environment, I am looking through the eyes of Light.  I see all things clearly, easily and normally.  Through my eyes the Light of God flows out, and healing appears everywhere.  I see only the good, the true and the eternal.  I see God in every man and Love in every heart.  Others see this Light in me, and rise to new heights of accomplishment.  They see Truth made manifest, the One Mind releasing Itself.  By their sight of God in me, they are healed physically, mentally and financially.

There is a radiance that shines from me, for God’s healing Light is the true light of my soul.  There are no dark corners in my thinking.  Memories of the past, actions of the present and hopes of the future are all exposed to this Light and are cleansed.  The wrong is erased, and the right is amplified.  I let my light shine to bless and benefit my neighbor, for it is God’s Light shining through me.  Releasing the Light, I am immersed in Lights, and true perception in mine.  I see God everywhere.  I see God in everyone I meet.  I see God in the little and the great.  Omnipresence is manifested to me.  Having received the Light, I now pass It on to others.

MY PEACE I GIVE TO MY WORLD

I have no tact except the exercise of gentleness.

Oracle of Sumiyoshu

Harmony is the automatic action of Spirit, and in me this action now manifests.  The universe is order, harmony and peace.  Despite my present affairs, I now acknowledge this, and act from this premise.  If the sun never fails to shine, the tide to rise and fall in the sea, then neither can my few matters be disturbed nor upset.  God’s universal Law of Order is now in me, through me and around me.  It is my peace of mind; it is the order in all things I do.  Having this peace, I now share it with others.  My whole mental atmosphere is radiant with peace.  My home, my office and my entire environment are bathed in it.  This peace, born of God, is infectious and my fellowman receives it.

I have a poised, balanced mind in a poised balanced body.  God’s eternal harmony and order are mine, and I let them express through me.  My family and co-workers sense this and are healed by this.  Peace flowing out from me heals everyone I contact.  It is a subtle, soothing balm to all their fears and doubts.  They feel better for having spoken to me or clasped my hand.  Every room I enter is alive with Divine Harmony and Order.  God’s Presence is made alive by the Truth I know and the Love I emanate.  Power flows to the weak, positive conclusions flow to the uncertain, and God’s omnipotence is made visible.  The whole Spirit of God in every man is quickened into right action. I walk this day as a Divine Creation.  Nothing in me can confuse, for God alone is the center of my thinking.  My Divinity is obvious, my peace blesses all.  Life flows easily, and all things work together for good.  Radiating peace, I am a blessing to all and a problem to none.  A warm welcome awaits me where ever I go.  Joy greets me in every face, and co-operation appears everywhere.  I see nothing but peace as I look at the people around me. They too, are centered and grounded in the one universal order and harmony of God.  Sensing the eternal good, my friends join with me in silently acknowledging it.  We are all of One Mind now, and together we bring peace to all who are hurt and confused.  This is my job this day.

I AM MIND IN ACTION

According as one acts, according as one conducts himself, so does he become.

Brihadaranyka Upanishad

In the midst of me is the Spirit of the Lord.  To me It offers Itself without limitation.  “All that the Father hath is mine.”  It forever presses upon me all its ideas and they find me a willing vehicle of expression. At every instant I am urged to be my greater self.  At every instant I am bidden to let God shine through as health, peace and creative self-expression.  The unlimited action of truth is the true source of my life.  I see this, know this, and act according to this.  I let my mind be inspired by a Wisdom greater than its present knowledge.  I see ideas as the cause of all experience, and control them to produce what I want, when I want it.  I am Mind in action.

Mind offers me all of Its Being.  Every Idea in the universe is available to me.  What I need to know today is already offered to me.  I now receive the ideas of God and give them welcome.  I open the doors of my thinking and let Divine Inspiration flow into my mind.  New vistas appear around me, as new ideas are born within me.  I have confidence, I have security.  Nothing is withheld from me, and to me comes Omniscience.  I am consciousness knowing Truth.  I am the creative process through which God acts as Mind. I am a thinker in a universal medium of mental law, and as such I alone control my destiny.  God wants me to be free, but I must accept His Ideas in order to be free.  I now do this.

I can be all things which I desire, for the ideas I need are already mine.  My consciousness is inspired by the Mind from which all things proceed.  Unto me is given the greatness of Spirit, and the way of creative accomplishment.  I deny all barriers to my success.  God sees none, and I refuse to accept them.  I join my thinking with the Divine Thinker and experience happiness here and now.  All that I have sought is found.  In me now is the answer to every question, and the solution of every problem.  I think clearly, act wisely and let my good happen.  Inspired by Mind, I think success, peace and prosperity.  I am Mind in action, for this is the inner meaning of the term “Son of God,” and this I am named by Him who created me.

NEW IDEAS ARE MINE THIS DAY

But there is spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Job 32:8

INSPIRATION is the act of the Infinite through man.  I now open my whole consciousness to it.  I let God give me the ideas I need to handle the questions of today.  From early morning until late at night, I am directed to right action through His Mind which indwells me.  Forever abiding in God’s Mind, I cannot fail through His Mind which indwells me.  Forever abiding in His Love, I cannot fail but understand my fellowman.  I look out upon a wonderful world alive with more good than I ever supposed.  Every contact today is a blessing to me, and to everyone I bring a larger peace and a greater joy.  Filled with the freshness of Mind, I give new impressions to my everyday tasks.

I refuse to believe that I shall meet problems.  I see these as tests of my ability to inaugurate a new idea born of God.  Each moment brings me the chance to live as a spiritual being of integrity.  The idea I need at this moment, I have.  The idea I shall need every moment of this day, I shall have.  God meets me in the hour, the moment and the instant of my need.  His inspiration is my security to handle all things rightly and all things lovingly.  What I see as a problem, God sees as an opportunity to release His Intelligence.  Knowing this, I am confident and serene.  Neither a person nor a situation can confound me.  I silently turn within and find the spiritual answer.

I welcome new ideas, for they mean a greater good for me.  They press upon me, they draw nigh unto me.  His Knowledge is available to me now, and I let It be in me a vital source of ideas.  Wisdom is mine to use, and I use it.  I cannot make a mistake today, for God’s omniscient Mind is my mind now.  We are one, and in this oneness, I am lead to right answers.  Immediate right guidance is mine.  I do not need to beseech, I only need to know that He in me is all in all.  Rejoicing in this perfect supply of inspiration, I cannot fail.  Where I am at every moment, His Mind is.  This is my security; this is my peace.  Conclusions born of God make easy my way.  I am receptive to God’s Ideas.

MY PRESENT EXPERIENCE IS GOOD

The superior man by determined good conduct nourishes his virtue.

I Ching 4: Immaturity

Today is the day which I prove that the power of Mind is greater than the power of material belief.  What I face today, and the mental attitude in which I face it, will determine my experience today.  I cannot blame my mistakes on the past.  The subtle deceit of so doing entices me, but I refuse to believe it.  I am not conditioned by my childhood, I am only conditioned by my present thinking.  The past with all its combination of good and bad is now only a force of creative memory.  What I have been is merely an indication of what I should be and shall be. No false glamorization of the past, only my recognition of the Now as potent with possibilities.  My present world is good.

My future is not dependent upon my past.  It is dependent upon my ability to think God’s thoughts today.  I know what I want to accomplish, and I know the way I shall go.  Today, I think as Cause to the tomorrow which will be in effect.  My aims are clear, my goal is in sight.  I can become the person God intended me to become, and what I shall be will be good, creative and honest.  I look forward to my full demonstration, and I think today in tomorrow’s terms.  I live now as though my dreams were true, for they are true.

God in me, acting through me, is the doer of the present moment.  Right where I am, God is.  In my thinking at this moment Divine Mind is the real thinker.  Around me is the plastic substance of all like, and I mold it this day to bring forth what I want.  The Law of mind is mine to use and to employ.  Today’s thinking brings forth tomorrow’s demonstration.  So, I look out at my present experience and name it good.  It is my only place to start, and I begin to give God to my day.  Recognizing each hour as my possibility to prove Truth, I think as Spirit and act as Love.  I do not hesitate to deny evil and affirm the good.  I watch my thought and handle negatives.  I see Good in my present experience.

GOD’S EFFORTLESS POWER IS MINE TO USE

See truth as it is and be forever free of opposition and contention.

Garland Sutra 11

I am my only enemy.  My wrong beliefs about life cause me to strain and struggle with my problems.  I decide right now to let the effortless Power of Mind act through me, and give me my freedom from struggle.  No more weariness, no more “working for a living.”  This I have discarded.  From now on I shall let the Truth control  my life.  My burden is easy and my way is light because of this decision.  My human thinking steps aside to let in God’s healing thought.  Weary of humanity, I now seek my own Divinity.  In me is the Power of God.  It created me to act through me, and I let It act.  God knows no difficulties, nor do I.  The universe displays an effortless action of Intelligence and cohesion.  This is true of my world around me, so it must be true of the world within me.

Infinite Mind has no useless Ideas, so I am of value to this world.  I now let God’s purpose create me into the being It had planned me to be.  Whiter I go Divine Wisdom knows, and what I shall be the Divine Plan has prepared.  This now takes over all my thinking and feeling, and I become the Son of god that Mind intended me to be.  Turning over all my human decisions to the Divine Knowing is easy, and Its ways make my pathway clear. I no longer struggle to be my human self.  I let God in me be whatever It has planned for me to be.  Divine Wisdom guides me, Divine Love enfolds me, and success is all that can be before me.  I let God decide.

The effortless power of the Spirit is mine to use and to enjoy.  I give it directions to produce for me health, prosperity and happiness.  This it does, because God acts at my level of consciousness.  In me God loves to be healthy.  In me God wants to be freedom in finance.  In me God wants to be love.  As an individualized outlet of the Spirit, I now take my rightful place in life.  I cease all human efforts to be good, and I let the Divine in me be what It wants to be.  God knows my next step, and reveals it.  I relax and let Mind reveal Its next idea.  God will produce my good, when I let Him do it, and this I now do.

I AM A FRIEND TO EVERYONE

In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all humanity.

Job 12:10

The universe is a friendly system.  Love offers itself to me through every person in my world.  God gives of Himself through people.  I can give of God to all whom I meet today.  My face will reveal my inner peace and joy.  My walk will reveal my sense of security in the Divine Presence.  My smile will reveal the friendliness I have for my fellowman.  Whoever sees me is richer by the sight.  I radiate the qualities of the Spirit and these alone are imparted to others.  No one can find faults in me, because I have only good to give and only love to share.  I am the representative of God walking among His beloved creations.  God in me greets the God in them.

I refuse to sit in judgment upon my fellowman.  I let his business be his business and not mine.  I condemn no one.  I have faith that each is doing the best he can at his own level of consciousness.  I silently recognize the Spirit in man, and at the same time give him his freedom of self-expression.  With my eyes fastened on God’s possibility in man, I see that which heals and evolves him.  Beholding the real Man, my neighbor becomes Him, and in this becoming I am raised to new heights.  His opinions of me are not important, for I know my spiritual worth.  I walk forward on the pathway of Truth, whether my neighbor knows this or not.  I create my own destiny.

Whoever contacts me finds good in me.  I am a radiating center of creative Intelligence and Love.  No one criticizes me nor condemns me.  Everyone gives me the freedom to be myself.  My friends increase my faith in God, and my conviction of my own worth.  All people find the good in me, for I now release all self-opinionated beliefs.  I know that I am right when I am one with a Divine Purpose and a righteous activity.  My friends are a joy to my soul, and I can only give them my highest thought and my greatest love.  No one ever hurts me nor confuses me, for I behold the Christ in them.  Outer actions never confuse me, because I am seeking the inner Spirit in all.

I AM IMMERSED IN INTELLIGENCE AND LOVE

To love is to know Me, My innermost nature, the truth that I am.

The Bhagavad-Gita

All of God is where I am, and all of Good is offered to me.  I waste no more time seeking the Truth, for I am in It and It is in me.  The present thinking is God’s Intelligence and God’s Love.  My present thinking is God’s channel of action. My present mood is the way Love acts through me.  I now think as God thinks, and feel as God feels.  The simplicity of this is hard to believe, but it is the truth.  I need no mystical contemplation of a Deity, I need only to think straight.  I need no special mood or feeling, Love is already flowing through my present emotions. I rejoice in my ability to let God out into His world through my mind and emotions.

Immersed in Intelligence, I act as intelligence.  Mind in process through me demonstrates what I select.  Thinking in terms of what I want, the Law of Mind now produces it.  Feeling the goodness of Life, I now experience it.  It is right where I am, and is already in action.  I only pray to recognize what is already being done, and to give my life right direction and meaning. My recognition of Truth is the Truth in action.  As I know It, It is my experience instantly.  God does not come to me, for I have always been Its vehicle.  “Look unto me” is the way, and “This do” is the technique.   

Immersed in Divine Love, I am loving.  The Infinite is no respector of persons, so I now love all my co-workers, my family and my friends.  Life insists that I do this.  Mind challenges me to do this.  I know that faults are easy to behold, but I now train my consciousness to seek virtues.  Everyone I know has great good within them.  I seek this good, for it alone will endure.  I now assume my rightful place in the scheme of things.  Mind thinks through me, and Love acts as me.  The responsibility is mine to think this day with clarity, and to love this day with fullness.  Nothing can hinder this decision on my part.  Intelligence quickens me to seeing the Truth in my fellowman, and to thinking rightly about myself and my world of affairs.
