I know of no large organization that is not as earnestly striving to unify its human relations within its walls as it is without.

 “All Industry and all people in every walk of life, from the farmer to the rolling mill, and from the author to the maker of stockings, is only now coming into the full understanding that each man is both producer and consumer, and that the only path for producer and consumer is that joyous path of mutual helpfulness which is perfectly defined in the too much forgotten golden rule.”

Always remember.

August Thoughts: James Allen.

Let a man abandon self, let him overcome the world, let him deny the personal; by this pathway only can he enter into the heart of the Infinite.

“GOODWILL gives insight”, and only he who has so conquered his personality that he has but one attitude of mind, that of goodwill, is possessed of divine insight, and is capable of distinguishing the true from the false. The supremely good man is, therefore, the wise man, the divine man, the enlightened seer, the knower of the Eternal. Where you find unbroken gentleness, enduring patience, sublime lowliness, graciousness of speech, self-control, self-forgetfulness, and deep and abounding sympathy, look there for the highest wisdom, seek the company of such a one, for he has realized the Divine, he lives with the Eternal, he has become one with the Infinite. Those who are spiritually awakened have alone comprehended the Universal Reality where all appearances are dispersed and dreaming and delusion are destroyed.

Resentment Therapy

Do you want to be an integrated human being? Who does not? If you do, you must unload some of the junk you have carried around with you in your subconscious mind. That is the price we must all pay. You can make a program for yourself, which is quite simple,- not easy. The program is called the "resentment therapy." It is this: make a list of all the persons you have ever resented or been hurt by or been angry with, starting with the present "crop," and working back as far as your memory takes you. If done correctly, you will wind up in the very early years of your childhood. The usual reaction in nine cases out of ten is to say, "Really, I don't resent anyone." Ignore that, if you have that reaction, because it is not true. Think about it for a while. Then take a pencil and a notebook --not a sheet of paper--and start working.

Once you recognize a true desire you know the outcome is guaranteed.

Our daily meditations are ways of brainwashing ourselves from the ill effects of these pollutants in the mental climate of our culture. Through contemplative meditation, we seek clarity and understanding of reality, and the more we are able to know divine reality, the more we are immune to hypnotism and mind control and influencing.

Formula for Demonstration

You are whole, innocent and complete.

"Suppose you knew that a map to a fabulous treasure had been taken to a mountain peak, torn and scattered to the four winds. You would, of course, search for the pieces — but would you strain anxiously at every step, or would you enjoy the adventure?

Would you be gloomy, or would you step cheerfully around?

Knowing that the treasure _can_ be found, you would be excited, but at the same time relaxed." VH

You observe everything you see and it changes your thoughts.

Stop this, and do and think according to Principle.

Emma Curtis Hopkins Six Treatments reflect the notion that you are whole, innocent and complete. Just as God created you. A theme from ACIM too. And as God is the provider there can be no lack.

Switchwords make for interesting mantras to eliminate unwanted thoughts and focus on what you want. Of course, you still need to determine the reason for the undesirable thoughts and replace the belief, but until then try switchwords.

"Forgiveness starts with you. You must forgive yourself and get rid of your negative feelings of self-condemnation. Live in the knowledge the truth of you - your Divine Self that never sins - and leave all guilt behind." Rev. Ike

Atonement teaches you how to escape forever from everything that you have taught yourself in the past, by showing you only what you are now. Learning has been accomplished before its effects are manifest. Learning is therefore in the past, but its influence determines the present by giving it whatever meaning it holds for you. Your learning gives the present no meaning at all. Nothing you have ever learned can help you understand the present, or teach you how to undo the past. Your past is what you have taught yourself. Let it all go.

To find meaning and purpose in your life, pay attention to where your natural gifts and your true desires intersect.

The choice is always ours.

In A Course in Miracles’ version of the myth of separation, everything began with the one mind of God’s only Son seeming to fall asleep and dream a dream of separation. And that one mind was split into the wrong mind (the ego) and the right mind (the Holy Spirit), along with the part of the mind that had the power to choose between the two (the decision maker or the dreamer). In the dream, there is only that one split mind. But as part of the ego’s defense against its own guilt and anxiety, to hide from God so that the life the Son stole from Him would not be seized back, the Son adopted the ego’s strategy of further seeming separation into billions and billions of seem­ingly unique fragments that would be experienced as independent, individual minds. But each fragment, as a split off part of the one split mind of the Son, shared the same basic content: a wrong mind, a right mind and the power to choose between them. http://www.facimoutreach.org/qa/questions/questions33.htm

God keeps His promises.

Like you, your brother thinks he is a dream. Share not in his illusion of himself, for your Identity depends on his reality. Think of him as a mind which brother is to you, not as a mind in which illusions still persist. Between your minds there is no gap. The Holy Spirit is in both your minds, and He is One because there is no gap that separates His Oneness from Itself. The gap between your bodies matters not, for what is joined in Him is always one.

God is always faithful with His promises.

There's a pretty song called, 'I'm Always Chasing Rainbows.'

While it’s a popular song, there’s a reason why it became so famous in its day.

This is not DONE TO me, but I am doing this. I have done this thing, and it is this I would undo.

The secret of salvation is but this: That YOU are doing this UNTO YOURSELF.

Miracles reflect the simple statement, "I have done this thing, and it is this I would undo."

The miracle does nothing. All it does is to UNdo. And thus it cancels out the interference to what HAS BEEN done.

Run forward when possible,

walk ahead when you can,

stagger onward when you must,

but never cease your forward movement.VH

Real strength does not reside in ideas but in a comprehension that is above all ideas. VH

Free your mind from the belief in outside force pitted against your own. How easily are God and guilt confused by those who know not what their thoughts can do. See yourself as bound, and bars become your home.
The world must thank you when you offer it release from your illusions. your gratitude is all your gifts require, that they be a lasting offering of a thankful heart, released from hell forever.
God blesses every gift you give to Him, and every gift is given Him, because it can be given only to yourself. And what belongs to God must be His Own. Yet you will never realize His gifts are sure, eternal, changeless, limitless, forever giving out, extending love and adding to your never-ending joy while you forgive but to attack again.
Learn to let forgiveness take away the sins you think you see outside yourself, and you can never think the gifts of God are lent but for a little while, before He snatches them away again in death. Gratitude remains a part of love. In your heart the Heart of God is laid. He holds you dear, because you are Himself. All gratitude belongs to you, because of what you are. Give thanks as you receive it.

Everything is in Divine Order.

Many mysteries are solved when we see that life consists of various levels of understanding. Everyone occupies a different level. For one thing, we see that we fail at many things because we try to claim the success of a higher level while still occupying a lower one. That is like trying to claim the contents of an apartment on the sixth story while actually living on the third story. To claim the rewards of a certain level, we must actually be on that level. VH

A New Hope Through a New Way.

A famous English scientist has recently said that we may look any day for a discovery in some obscure laboratory, by an unknown scientist, that will bisect human history. I am here to proclaim to the world that the discovery has been made. This congress exists because of that fact. But it is no material substance that we have discovered - not a new material law. Humanity has waited in vain for a material discovery that will bisect human history in a vital way. Such a thing might possibly change the surface of society, but it will not make the great transition from an unhappy to a happy world.

I place the future in the Hands of God.

An idea that sets you down just short of heaven, with the goal in sight and obstacles behind. your foot has reached the lawns that welcome you to heaven's gate; the quiet place of peace, where you await with certainty the final step of god.

if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

Leave something alone; avoid attempting to correct, fix, or improve what is already sufficient.

The attitude, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is the enemy of disruptive thinking. It’s the seemingly unbroken aspects of a situation that provide the richest opportunities for innovation. They tend to be the things we ignore, precisely because they don’t change.

Ignorance

 All suffering is due to ignorance — entertaining invalid thoughts in general, and thoughts about divine Reality in particular. God knows nothing about our ignorance. It is revealed to us through a process called phenomenological perceptivity, which means we can become aware of thoughts underlying our physical and mental suffering. Thomas Hora
There is a Christ way of healing the sick, which you can learn very readily because your heart is kind and tender. These words spoken by you will accomplish much: "I love all the world."~ECH

Grace of God.

When peace comes at last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the light comes at last into the mind given to contemplation, or when the goal is finally achieved by anyone, it ALWAYS comes with just one happy realization;“I need do nothing. ” To DO anything involves the body. And if you recognize you NEED do nothing, you have withdrawn the body’s value from your mind. To do nothing is to rest, and make a place within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the Holy Spirit comes, and there abides. He will remain when you forget, and the body’s activities return to occupy your conscious mind.

Joe Wolfe’s Prayer for All Solutions

The Truth will take care of the rest.

God is infinite Mind and is not the possessor of anything material What God gives us is an abundance of intelligent, spiritual ideas and when we become receptive to them, they provide us with the means to meet every legitimate need. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33). Only the awareness of one’s spiritual status as an inseparable aspect of divine Love can lead to Peace Assurance Gratitude Love. When through consistent study and meditation we reach PAGL (a state of harmony), at that moment fear and anxiety disappear and we gain a realization that God indeed exists and is a governing, guiding harmonizing presence in our lives.  Thomas Hora http://www.pagl.org/main-landing/the-works/

You may have grown numb to your true desires, but they haven't gone anywhere. If you give yourself permission to listen, you will hear them.

People often say, "If I just knew what I wanted to do, I could do it." You do know. Your true desires, the longings in your soul, never leave you; they just get buried under all of life's expectations.

Love as a principle and order as the basis; Progress as the goal.

 Isidore Auguste Marie François Xavier Comte ( 1798 – 1857), better known as Auguste Comte, was a French philosopher. He was a founder of the discipline of sociology and of the doctrine of positivism. He is sometimes regarded as the first philosopher of science in the modern sense of the term. Comte likewise coined the word altruisme (altruism).

Events~Compulsive activities ~ Forgiveness ~ Metapsychiatry

Compulsive activities are psychological ways of trying to cope with unbearable memories and emotions. Sometimes people have been through psychotherapy and recovered some of their memories, yet still continue compulsive behavior, such as, for instance, alcoholism. This is a puzzling issue. It points out that if we don’t have the awareness of God, we have no place to go with these memories. They are no longer repressed; we are aware of them consciously, but we cannot loose them; we don’t know what to do with them, and they are still disturbing us.

Often, in psychoanalytic therapies, it is recommended that we express our rage against the people, even punch them in the nose, to feel better. The idea is that what. we have kept bottled up, we let out and hurt those people back, and then we will feel better.

This is not forgiveness, but a perpetuation of the conflict

There is no solution without God.

“Moving Out of Your Comfort Zone by Taking a Leap of Faith”

@ Saving the History of New Thought Churches

 “On the Churches page is part of the history of one of the earliest temples founded by New Thought author, Christian Dee Larson. This demonstrates that “leap of faith” that was taken by so many of our early founders in the days when New Thought was young, and by many discredited. It would be wonderful to see young ministers and teachers of today, following their example and pioneering where there is no New Thought Group in existence.”

Rocco A. Errico is an American minister and established the Noohra Foundation in 1970, an organization devoted to Aramaic Biblical research. Errico was a student of the late George M. Lamsa, a Biblical scholar born in Assyria to an Aramaic-speaking mother, who believed that the Peshitta, or Syriac (Aramaic) language version of the New Testament, came before the Greek New Testament rather than being a translation thereof, as most scholars are convinced.

 Prospering is a quality of being, while prosperity connotes a quality of having. The word "prospering" points to well-being, peacefulness, assurance, joy, harmony, love, gratitude and freedom from anxiety, fear or torment. These qualities are present in everyone but they may be dormant and can be awakened through the process of study, prayer and meditation. Through such consistent study we can gain a spiritual perspective on Reality, revealing to us the fact that we are perfect spiritual beings, created by God for His own purpose, and that the abundant life Jesus spoke of is our birthright. Thomas Hora

Natural vs Supernatural vs Spiritual Healing

The study of the supernatural is motivated by man’s desire to control his fellow man and secure his own superiority. The study of the spiritual is motivated by man’s desire to come into harmony with the Fundamental Order of Existence and actualize in himself the optimum qualities which are potentially present and available to him.
The clear differentiation between the natural, the supernatural, and the spiritual is

PAGL ~ PeaceAssuranceGratitudeLove

Metapsychiatry is the name given to a spiritual teaching and form of psychotherapy developed by psychiatrist Thomas Hora, M.D.  (1914–1995) in the second half of the 20th century. It asserts that “the meaning and purpose of life are to come to know reality.” It defines Reality as the underlying benevolent intentionality of the universe; also as “God” or “Love-Intelligence” or “Infinite Mind.”

Perception is an effect (of a belief), not a cause.

Wisdom is the aim of every philosophy.
Canst thou mend a broken vase by weeping over it?

Meekness is a divine quality, and as such is all powerful.
Nothing is hidden from him who overcomes himself.
He that hath not unbroken gentleness hath not Truth.
How can he fear any who wrongs none?
