The law
of Mind says that with God nothing is impossible. Think of it. That is,
everything right that it is possible for you to think and feel you can do or
have, You CAN DO AND CAN HAVE.
…
Suppose
the universal belief is poor times, etc., do not let this wrong belief about
Life enter your consciousness as true. You must see infinite abundance, the
spiritual laws of Life as fixed, changeless and as governing you and your
experiences in spite of "times," "friends," `business operations,"
etc. "A thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand
but it shall NOT come nigh THEE." Who? You who know and obey the true law
of the Universe. The power that gives you your health and happiness is also the
source of your so-called
material supply. Since God is one and God is all and God is Mind, this is
therefore a mental universe and all therein is the result of Mind or thought from the head of a
pin to a palace and from a penny to a gold mine. Everything that you see, hear,
or understand through your senses is mental or is the result of thought and
feeling.
…
If you
seem to be in a state of poverty or lack, realize that it is but a temporary
seeming and strive to make mental connection with Life in all its abundance. This
connection is a process in mind, a process of thinking, knowing and feeling; `I
am Life Itself, and so I can desire and expect every good thing for as I think
I will be and will have. The selfhood which is Life, God, cannot lack for any
good thing, and it is my right to demand and command that which is actually
mine by Nature."
See your
desire as already fulfilled; that is, as thought is the one and only Creator,
then, it is by seeing (thinking) your desire as realized now that the
objectification takes place or the Word (thought) becomes manifested. In plain
words, see and feel yourself in possession of that good which you desire. This
universe is One (uni) and God is One, hence all Life or being is the One─Life, One─God. As God possesses all and is
all so you in your very nature must have and must be that which God is. Practice
thinking of your real nature or thinking of yourself as you really are, having
abundance of life, health, happiness, and supply. Electricity does not come
into your house without some means or channel of connection with the power─house, so even though the
Powerhouse of abundance of all good is within you or is actually your own Mind
and Spirit, yet you need to make a conscious connection with the Power before
it manifests itself or externalizes itself to you. This connection can be made and is made in thinking
and in feeling only. Try your understanding with what seems like a small
demonstration and then as confidence and clearer understanding come to you, you
will be able to do greater things.
…
That like
produces like is a mental law, self─acting, self─sustaining and self-existing. There may appear
obstacles in your path which can easily be set aside as you come into mental
touch with Life, Understanding. Without thought nothing has ever been or ever will be made to appear. So
look unflinchingly over your visible external horizon and know that you have
power within your own consciousness to bring about your desired good in your
affairs. Trials are stepping stones very often and as we rise and overcome them
we make our character stronger and more enduring.
How to Have Abundance
by Lillian DeWaters
1922
Any
method of thinking, apart from the conscious knowledge of possessing now the
ChristMind, to which "all things are possible," cannot deliver the
full peace of God, nor the true, as well as lasting satisfaction to be found in
the Master's statement, "I AM the Way: I AM the Truth: I AM the
Life."
Transcending
and overarching the general belief that while one's mind is human he must still
think divinely with it, there comes a higher concept and deeper insight, which
is, that we should give no heed to a belief that our mind is "human,"
but on the contrary, we should take the position that our mind is Divine, and
thus, naturally, we think divinely with it. Such right vision and divine
insight will surely bring us to the Horeb-height-that mountain of God where we
behold and know Him as the I AM
As we
rise to the position that there is but ONE God, and hence but ONE Mind, we see
there is not, and never could truly be, a so-called human mind, or mentality;
moreover, it is not by spiritually educating a fictitious human mind that we
come into the Divine, but quite the contrary is true-whoever shall lose his
belief in a mind other than the one God-Mind shall find this very Mind to be
his own. THE I-AM-SELF By
Lillian DeWaters
They who
turn their hearts to God, fully and completely—surrendering and abolishing all
teachings of today which hold the world in the belief that we are separate from
or other than Spirit, God, the One-will know of God that Spirit and spiritual
Existence alone is present. They will live in their own pure and perfect
Awareness or Consciousness that Spirit is all and that we can be nothing but
Spirit. The end of the world means the bringing to an end the diabolical
belief that we are mortals, humanity or mankind. It shall be that we will
see this very Self, this very Body, and this very World as the Real and
True-verily, the kingdom of Heaven Itself. Here, there is no sickness, no war,
no sorrow, no death; for the former belief of sin and separation shall have
been obliterated by the glorious, luminous Light and Revelation that the I
AM remains Total and Alone; that "I" am the only One-there is
none but "ME". ~ LIGHT ~Lillian DeWaters 1950
