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.
When
you turn your attention away from the world and listen within, you hear Spirit
whispering your desires to you. When you ask the questions, you get the
answers. Does my life reflect what I value? Is my life lived from the inside
out, or do I look out into the world to tell me what I am and what I should
value?
Ask
yourself the question, how do I want to live my life? It can be a challenge to
hear Spirit through your fears. Each time you hear yourself arguing for why you
can't live a life that reflects what you value, take a moment to list the
fears. This will calm them down, and they'll stop interrupting so much. Once
your fears have quieted down, listen to the guidance Spirit is sharing with
you.
Self-damage permits damage by others.
Self-weakness invites treachery by other weak people.
Self-correction is the marvelous cure-all hurtful social relationships. VH
Guy Finley: Without using interfering tactics,
how can we help others to come awake to themselves? Is there a way we can
know we are ready to teach others? ... [continued]
There is much love in your heart; therefore you are a healing to
children. The trust of a little child in its parents should be the nature of your
trust in Divine Love. ECH
If an idea, concept, principle or value is true, i.e., if it is in harmony with Reality, the fundamental order
of existence, it will validate
itself in two ways
- there will be a sense of peace, assurance, gratitude and love (PAGL) in
consciousness
- it will bear “good fruit” and be the perfect solution to the situation or
issue. It will liberate from confusion, heal problems, harmonize situations,
uplift and inspire. The PAGL Principle, or Principle of Existential Validation
There is a way of living in the world that is not here, although
it seems to be. You do not change appearance, though you smile more frequently.
Your forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet. And the ones who walk the world
as you do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet perceived the way
will recognize you also, and believe that you are like them, as you were
before. I
will step back and let Him lead the way. Lesson 155
Daily prayer and meditation
are mental hygiene methods with which we can preserve our sanity and insure the
effectiveness of our activities and projects. http://www.pagl.org/wp-content/uploads/pagl-news-spring-12-web1.pdf
It
is your thoughts alone that cause you pain. Nothing external to your mind can
hurt or injure you in any way. There is no cause beyond yourself that can reach
down and bring oppression. No one but yourself affects you. There is nothing in
the world that has the power to make you ill or sad, or weak or frail. But it
is you who have the power to dominate all things you see by merely recognizing
what you are. As you perceive the harmlessness in them, they will accept your
holy will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful now becomes a source of
innocence and holiness.
Lesson 190
Robin Duncan: Do you have a family member who is unhappy? Are they
taking their frustrations out on you? Do they make you feel guilty and
inadequate? Prayer 96 –
Family Members in Turmoil
“Nothing can exist
in the body or out of the body that is not [first] in
consciousness. If we want to be healed when problems, difficulties or sickness
arise, then consciousness has to be brought to an awareness of its perfect
harmony in God. God is our Life, and there is no other Life but that One — and
that Life is perfect always.” (Thomas Hora, MD,
Founder of Metapsychiatry)
"Once we live in a unitive state,
our passport is good in both worlds." Eknath Easwaran ( 1910 – 1999 )
