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.

Here is your law:

"Every one of us shall give account of himself to God."

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.

 

"Everyone likes stories about things that were lost and were finally found, like an ancient temple of some kind. Maybe one of those marvelous, underground caverns or those things hanging down, stalactites, bagpipes? (Laughter) and were thrilled when they are found. There’s psychology in back of all that.

How many feel like a lost city all to yourself? See we express, extend, the idea of a lost physical object with ourselves and we can’t figure out why we can’t find ourselves. Let’s settle that right now.

You never, never can find yourself as you now describe yourself. You could never find something that has no existence in reality. So when people, maybe you, say, 'I want to find out who I really am,' you'd better find out first who you am not. (Laughter)

When you go through that great trial and tribulation with hundreds of phony tears - what are you afraid of losing? You're afraid of losing something that has betrayed you maliciously all your days." Vernon Howard from a talk given 9/13/1991

All men have a tendency and an urgent desire to find some way of managing their moods and their thoughts in order to find contentment, happiness, and freedom from undesirable mental preoccupations. It is a remarkable thing that what man suffers from most are his own thoughts. It is not so much conditions or people that torment
us but rather our own thoughts about them. The Greek philosopher Epictetus already knew this. He said: "Man does not suffer from conditions, but rather from the views he takes of them." For instance, if there is a rainy day, some people get depressed. Now rain will not cause us to be depressed, but the thoughts which we may entertain about the bad weather can torment us.
So man is burdened with the universal problem of managing his own thought processes in such a way as to escape suffering. Certain thoughts make us happy, while other thoughts can make us miserable. Of course unenlightened man does not realize that and he has a tendency to think in terms of cause and effect. When he falls into the trap of cause-and-effect thinking, he is inclined to blame some external factors for his internal torments. To the extent that his primitive thinking has him under control he blames external conditions for his unhappiness and, naturally, he is inclined to seek external remedies for his problems.
The meaning of all addictions could be defined as endeavors at controlling our life experiences with the help of external remedies. These remedies can be persons, places, things, and ideologies. Places, persons, and things are symbols, and their effect is ideational. Chemical substances affect the functioning of the organism by altering perceptivity and experience. So alcohol is a chemical substance which man uses to control his experience of life.
Unfortunately, all external means of improving our life experiences are doubled-edged swords: they are always good and bad. No external remedy improves our condition without, at the same time, making it worse. When Eve saw the beautiful apple on the tree of knowledge, she reached out for it to enhance her life experience, and by using this external means, she discovered good and evil. This is the original prototype of man’s quest for happiness — seeking the Kingdom of God on the outside rather than within consciousness.
In considering the story of Adam and Eve, it is helpful not to omit the role of  the serpent. It was the serpent which was suggesting to Eve to reach out for external means. What does this talking serpent stand for? It stands for a mode of thinking based on sensory impressions, that is, judging by appearances. The universal tendency to judge by appearances is the source of all ignorance. Judging by appearances, man jumps to false conclusions and becomes a victim of his own errors.
