A child of God is a magnet for all good things.



The universe is the handwriting of God, and it is both self-organizing and self-correcting. Where there is lack, the universe is already planning to remove it from your circumstances. That is the Law of Divine Compensation. The only thing that can deactivate the Law is if you have more faith in the reality of lack than in the reality of the Law.”
--- From The Law of Divine Compensation ---
Persist in the studies you began. Learn that you are loveable and so your quaintness's are loveable. If you understand Divine Love, you are a healing radiance among the people. ECH

The Four Spiritual Laws



Cru, previously known as Campus Crusade for Christ, is an interdenominational Christian organization that promotes evangelism and discipleship in more than 190 countries around the world.
Founded in 1951 at the University of California, Los Angeles by Bill Bright as a ministry for college students, Cru has since expanded its focus to include adult professionals, families, athletes, high school students, and more.

The four spiritual laws are:

Advaita Vedanta



Advaita Vedanta is a school of Hindu philosophy and religious practice, giving "a unifying interpretation of the whole body of Upanishads".
The key source texts for all schools of Vedānta are the Prasthanatrayi, the canonical texts consisting of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras, of which they give a philosophical interpretation and elucidation.

You cannot deceive a True Teacher.



Be grateful for that. Vernon Linwood Howard


When we speak about form, we are speaking about behavior, the body and the world (what we see), anything that we perceive to be external to the mind. When we talk about content, we are talking about the mind; the mind has only two contents. The wrong mind [wRONGmIND] of the ego content of sin/guilt/fear/suffering/death, and the right mind [RightMind] of the Holy Spirit content of forgiveness/ the miracle/healing/peace.

The sealed envelope test; a double blind experiment.



The sealed envelope test was applied to both Leonora Piper and W. Stainton Moses. Information was sealed in envelopes that neither had any knowledge of, nor access to, and they would then talk to the spirit world to obtain the messages

I’mpressions



Begin now to realize that I AM is the Lord God Almighty and beside ME (your awareness)
There is no other God.
Not I, John Doe is God but I AM, the awareness of being, is God.
John Doe is only its present limitation or conception of itself.
I am the limitless expressing through the limited conception of myself.
To change the expression change the conception of yourself but do so in truth, not in words.
That is turn your attention completely away from your present limitation and place it upon the new conception, until the awareness, your true being, is lost in the belief or conviction that I AM that I AM. I Know My Father by Neville Goddard

Rev. Ike’s Free 5-minute Audio - Secret of Good Luck! Rev. Ike teaches that "I AM" is your self-awareness. And whatever you add to "I AM" -- in your thoughts and in your words -- you will become that.I AM is the making power -- the way that you can become whatever you want to become by means of what you add to I AM.

The creator must precede creation, as the conceiver precedes his conceptions. Creation begins and ends in the Creator. Consciousness is the secret of all manifestion. I Know My Father by Neville Goddard  Get into the creator state using the Who Am I Really? Process from Morty Lefkoe @ http://d3n3f57qjh51zc.cloudfront.net/who-am-i-really-new.mp3.

The physical act of circumcision is an operation performed on the 8th day after birth, 8 representing infinity or veil of the mystery of creation. The spiritual act happens when you see the brotherhood of man without race, color or creed. When you’ve removed the bonds to race, family, nation and so on.

Candle of Vision



 “There is precious little theorization in The Candle of Vision, but the theory it does present is deeply challenging to conventional beliefs about the natural world and the existence of a supreme deity beyond nature. A.E. assumed that his experiences were memories of past lives, but not necessarily his own memories.” From A.E., The Candle of Vision


I became aware of a swift echo or response to my own moods in circumstance which had seemed hitherto immutable in its indifference. I found every intense imagination, every new adventure of the intellect endowed with magnetic power to attract to it its own kin. . . . I could prophesy from the uprising of new moods in myself that I, without search, would soon meet people of a certain character, and so I met them. The Candle of Vision, by AE (George William Russell), [1918]


We are always whiners, shirkers and cowards when under the delusion of sin.



Things aren't always what they seem in life. You never know what someone else is going through. So let God do the judging and continue just loving. Godvine


You can learn to help those people you do not like by bearing this text in mind: "I do not believe in weakness;" I believe in Strength and Goodness." ECH

In order to realize the oneness we are seeking, we must let Love be perfected in us. Guy Finley

It may seem that life is overwhelming and out of control, big and mysterious. But you are not dropped into this world unequipped for the journey. Living within you are true desires and natural gifts.

AWAKE, O SLEEPER : Denial versus Detachment



Peace cover you, within without the same,
    In shining silence and in peace so deep
    No dream of sin and evil can come near
    Your quiet mind. And then in stillness wake.

You are the dreamer of the world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son and made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war upon himself. So fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal fear unless a gentler dream preceded his awaking and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, not to fear, the Voice that calls with love to waken him. [A gentler dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his brother was his friend.] God willed he waken gently and with joy. And gave him means to waken without fear. Accept the dream He gave instead of yours. It is not difficult to change a dream when once the dreamer has been recognized.

Our cities & our homes are underwater.

I'm in Ontario, which did have some flooding in some Northern towns a while ago but nothing like this in Alberta. I guess we can count our blessings we're safe. And Genna's blog serves as a reminder to always pick yourself up and move forward.

Angels are the emotional disposition of man and his servant.

“Imagining may be hard to grasp, being ‘quicksilver-like’* it vanishes into each of its metamorphoses and thereby displays its transformative magic.” Douglas Fawcett


Pay it forward



is asking the beneficiary of a good deed to repay it to others instead of to the original benefactor.

 The concept is old, but the phrase may have been coined by Lily Hardy Hammond: "You don't pay love back; you pay it forward.", in her 1916 book In the Garden of Delight.

Child of God.




T-30.IV.2:1-7. The wearying, dissatisfying gods you made are blown-up children's toys. A child is frightened when a wooden head springs up as a closed box is opened suddenly, or when a soft and silent woolly bear begins to squeak as he takes hold of it. The rules he made for boxes and for bears have failed him, and have broken his "control" of what surrounds him. And he is afraid, because he thought the rules protected him. Now must he learn the boxes and the bears did not deceive him, broke no rules, nor mean his world is made chaotic and unsafe. He was mistaken.  He misunderstood what made him safe, and thought that it had left.

I could choose peace instead of this.



"And when you are desirous to be blessed, I'll blessing beg of you"  Hamlet (III,iv)


The miracle does not awaken you, but merely shows you who the dreamer is. It teaches you there is a choice of dreams while you are still asleep, depending on the purpose of your dreaming. Do you wish for dreams of healing, or for dreams of death? (T-28.II.4:2-4)

Forgiveness is a powerful spiritual weapon!



It sets you free.
It releases the supernatural power of God into your life.
It can even heal your body!
You don't have to wait for an apology or reconciliation.
You and God can do it right now.

“Quite often old friends will fall away as you work on changing your interior relationship and begin seeing more about this life and its true purpose. “



Guy Finley: Outgrowing Former Relationships
Is it normal for friendships to pass as people change their life and level?... [continued]

It’s like the lyrics from

LOOKING WITHIN and the law of mind.



You see what you expect, and you expect what you invite. I said before that what you project or extend is up to you, but you must do one or the other, for that is a law of mind, and you must look in before you look out. The power of decision is your one remaining freedom as a prisoner of this world. You can decide to see it right.

True Empathy II



 “To empathize does not mean to join in suffering, for that is what you must refuse to understand. That is the ego’s interpretation of empathy, and is always used to form a special relationship in which the suffering is shared.” (Text, CH16, I 1:1-2)
You do not know what empathizing means.

If we work to strip religion of power, we have taken a big step toward positive change.




I agree with Sir Acton:  “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”

When you take the time to quiet your mind and listen, you become aware of Spirit infusing you with inspiration.



"I meet no one but me", is a puzzling statement. It's a mystic statement but it will have many practical applications. Everyone you meet is an outward reflection of something in your life that you need to deal with. And here’s the bitter pill: Whenever something or someone outside of yourself needs changing, you must go to yourself to make the change within yourself! "Everybody may not be ready for this eye-opening lesson, but once you understand it you will have the key to managing people and controlling conditions in your life." Rev. Ike
"Get excited about the fact that God is in you, if you want to experience the sweetness of life, you have to let your attitude toward life be,"HOW SWEET IT IS!" Rev. Ike

The TRUTH that Peace Begins At Home.




Clara Berenger ( 1886 –  1956 ) was an American screenwriter of the silent film era and a member of the original faculty of the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Baranger would retire from writing pictures in 1934, though she remained a frequent contributor to magazines such as Liberty and Good Housekeeping, and writer of inspirational books.

Within a wide circle of acquaintances and friends, I have found that the only persons who have achieved true inner peace and serenity are those who believe in God and try to live according to the moral principles embodied in the Bible. They recognize the truth that peace begins at home. They know that in order to extend peace from the home to the world they must cultivate habits that create peace. At the same time they must free themselves from old habits that cause inharmony and dissension.

Just What Is New Thought?



There is nothing new in New Thought.  The New Thought movement represents a synthesis of ideas from the best of religion, philosophy and science. The same ideas are at the basis of all enlightenment traditions of the world.  What distinguishes New Thought is that it is shorn of the accumulated dogma and bias of many traditional disciplines, which may burden and inhibit personal spontaneity and discovery.  March 3 is the First Annual New Thought Day, and this day is dedicated to the teachings and principles of New Thought.  The Science of Mind is one of several organizations around the world, which embrace this viewpoint. Austin Center for Spiritual Living presents

Look not behind thee, face the future with hope and confidence.



Gloating over old achievements or victories, being content with what we have done in the past is as much hindrance to growth as regret for past mistakes. In the 19th chapter of Genesis is the story of two angels who came to Sodom and warned Lot to take his wife and daughters and flee from the city before it was consumed by brimstone and fire. The angelic command was: "Look not behind thee." But Lot's wife disobeyed the order and consequently, was turned into a pillar of salt. Salt is a preservative. When we keep our eyes on the past our thinking becomes crystallized, and further growth is prevented.

Persistence



Vernon Howard told us we may have to knock on the door of Truth ten thousand times before it will answer. But it will answer, and then all the effort will be rewarded a thousand fold.

Guy Finley's The Power of Persistence

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.



Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in.
 Aim at earth and you get neither.

disTRUST?



If you find distrust in any form in your consciousness, you can start at once to get rid of it. You can affirm: I am trustful of myself. I have faith in the power of God to guide me to my good. I trust the goodness of others, because I know that the Spirit of God is in them. I am strong in the faith that "with God all things are possible.”

"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him."



I Can't Say Till I Know What's In It (Sword&Trowel Tract #19)—"In these times there are thousands of bad books published, and herds of bad teachers sent forth to deceive the unwary; you must be on your guard, lest you be led into error." C. H. Spurgeon

La Parure


La Parure,
 illustration of the title page of the
Gil Blas,
8 October 1893

A short story, "The Necklace (French: La Parure) by the French writer de Maupassant, illustrates the tragedy that can result from the fault of envy. Mathilde Loisel, a beautiful young matron, is endlessly discontented with her own poor surroundings and envious of those who are rich. Borrowing a diamond necklace from a rich friend to wear to a ball, she loses it and her husband has to go heavily into debt to replace it. It takes ten years o scrimping and drudgery to pay off the debt. And by that time Mathilde is an old hag, hard and coarse.

Do you restrict or withhold the expression of what YOU are?



Your thoughts affect powerfully the people around you. Therefore, be sure your thoughts are strictly true. Keep steady, constant, cool headed. Learn this law: "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get Wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding. ECH
Be very persistent in finishing the studies you attempt. Resist your temptation to changeableness. You affect people near you strongly; therefore learn Truth. By steadiness of purpose, you preside over nations. Keep this text: "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." ECH
Your true desires are the expression of what you value.

"Friends, Britons, countrymen, lend us your ears;"



"We observe an advertisement of Ear-muffs*, which are recommended to all who would not have their ears frostbitten. What sort of things these must be we have tried to imagine, but have so badly succeeded that we half hope some generous Canadian reader will make us a present of a pair, that we may no longer puzzle our brains about them."
What reason, upon the earth or above it, can make the editor of the Sword and Trowel put pen to paper on such a trivial subject? Who invented the earmuff?

The Prayer to Our Father in the Original Aramaic



Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes, who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.
May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest.
Your Heavenly Domain approaches.
Let Your will come true – in the universe (all that vibrates) just as on earth (that is material and dense).
Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need, detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma) like we let go the guilt of others.
Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations), but let us be freed from that what keeps us from our true purpose.
From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.
Sealed in trust, faith and truth. (I confirm with my entire being)
