As long as we hold to the consciousness that the law of God is the law of my business, whatever is erroneous will be corrected. This same principle applies to the body and health, but if we do not consciously bring the body and business under the law of God, so it will be unto us. Joel Goldsmith

Once we realize that there is not God and, we will know that there is not Consciousness and. Therefore, there is not our consciousness and our business. Our business is our consciousness in specific form. Joel Goldsmith

I'm doing the right thing at the right time!

Guy Finley ~ Staying present, living in Presence is the best gift anyone can give to those they love. Put Yourself in the Right Place, at the Right Time, Doing the Right Thing. Give the Gift That Makes Everyone Better

O God, empty me of angry judgments, and aching disappointments, and anxious trying, and breathe into me something like quietness and confidence, that the lion and the lamb in me may lie down together and be led by a trust as straightforward as a little child.  Catch my pride and doubt off guard that, at least for the moment, I may sense your presence and your caring, and be surprised by a sudden joy rising in me now to sustain me in the coming then. Breathe into Me--

LESSONS IN BUSINESS

If something goes wrong, it is more important to talk about who is going to fix it, than who is to blame. -- Francis J. Gable

The thing for which we prepare and which we earnestly expect usually comes upon us. Food is prepared to be eaten; clothing is made to be worn; munitions of war are produced to be used in warfare. Just as truly, preparations made for purposes of peace help to bring about the peaceful condition for which they are prepared. -- Francis J. Gable

The employee in the industrial world looks for certain fruit at the hands of his employer. He has a right to expect not only a living wage, but a wage that permits the laborer and his family to enjoy the comforts of life; in addition he may look to this tree in the field of his employment to produce proper working conditions, reasonable hours of labor, courtesy, and kindly consideration. A business institution is not immune from the operation of the principle which says that whatever is unproductive shall be weeded out of commercial life. God has need of business, and his need demands that business shall be efficient and productive. The establishment of a legitimate and worthy business is not an accident; it is implanted in a community in response to a definite demand made by the people of the community.

Men who catch a vision of the possibilities that will open to them by the application of Christian principles in their affairs, realize that it is necessary to count the cost when they determine to abandon the old ideas that have prevailed so long in business. The new course of living which they are entering upon—becoming disciples of Jesus Christ—requires new standards of action, new courage, and new strength. If the Christian business man has not developed these qualities in himself, he is likely to succumb to the pressure of old conditions which will be brought to bear upon him.

Lord’s Prayer

Our Master said, “After this manner therefore pray ye,” and then he gave that prayer which covers all human needs. . . . Here let me give what I understand to be the spiritual sense of the Lord’s Prayer:

Economy of Gratitude

The inclination to steal is no part of anyone’s actual spiritual nature as created by God, divine Love.

Fear and the economy - A Christian Science perspective.

Trusting God’s care means moving away from a material way of thinking and toward a more spiritual outlook.

Praying about the economy By several authors writing from different perspectives

Forget the commonly-accepted law of Supply and Demand.

All life is from within outward.

To learn how to meditate effectively is to acquire a valuable ability. Through meditation we contact the Christ mind. Meditation is the great middle ground between concentration and realization and it is necessary to both.Methods of Meditation Jennie H. Croft 1928

Carrie Moss Hawley* says: "The reason meditation is so important is that the mind must be lifted out of its old ways of thinking and placed in the new, and only by continuous effort can this be accomplished. You know certain things are true. You should not think of them as in the experimental stage. Begin to use them as known forces that will produce certain results beyond question." Methods of Meditation Jennie H. Croft 1928

* My soul and I by Carrie Moss Hawley 1926.

Lesson IV we have named "Realization." Realization is the outcome of the three exercises, relaxation, concentration, and meditation.

Gemma Stone: When we reach rock bottom {have you hit rock bottom?} there is a quest waiting. It begins with asking, what do I want?

The silence is not an end in itself; it is merely a means to an end. It is only the threshold to greater things, for beyond the silence lie all the infinite resources of God. To open the door and pass this threshold into the presence of Being, consciously living and moving and having your being in God, is your privilege. Once you have entered into the light, continue to walk in the light, for the light becomes your life. THE SILENCE by E.V. Ingraham 1922

 Energy Medicine is not based on pathology, it is based on the following questions:

What is your mission in life?

What were you born into this body and this life for?

What are your dreams and how can you actualize them?

Energy medicine is about creating what you want, creating possibilities and creating a wonderfully positive future! - See more at: http://www.nlpca.com/DCweb/healing-with-energy-medicine-shamanism-and-nlp.html

"Create what you seek," Daryn Kagan "Show The World What's Possible!" www.darynkagan.com/

Think about something that you want and all of the possibilities that you have in achieving it. Ask yourself, “What is possible?”

I am one Self, united with my Creator.

This idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within yourself, and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible.

You are one Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. This is the truth, and nothing else is true.

Begin with this assurance, offered to your mind with all the certainty that you can give:

I am one Self,
united with my Creator,
at one with every aspect of creation,
and limitless in power and in peace.

And tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of the words to sink into your mind, replacing false ideas:

Through meditation you begin to live from the Spiritual; so that the Spiritual becomes natural to you.

Hopkins encouraged her students on the mystic path:

Begin with yourself to repent, to return.  Lift up the willing inner sight toward the Supreme One, whose Soundless Edict through the ages is “Look unto Me, and be ye saved.” Taste the first manna which the upward watch sprinkles over the unfed brain and heart.

♥ The miracle is a learning device that lessens the need for time. It establishes an out-of-pattern time interval not under the usual laws of time. In this sense it is timeless.

Rufus Collins Douglass, a Boston metaphysical teacher, became a trusted source for the Fillmores and Unity, particularly about the Bible.  When Douglass spoke in Kansas City in 1912 Charles Fillmore praised him his articles about the Bible and the Cabala.  Charles said “he wrote good Bible Lessons. . . I can assure you that what Mr. Douglass says to you will be true and scientific from start to finish.”  One series of Bible lessons led to a small Metaphysical Bible Dictionary Unity published in 1914 { Metaphysical Bible dictionary; an interpretation of the symbolical meaning of scripture names. }.  Douglass also wrote about syncretism, intuition, and spiritual evolution.

Q: Someone says things that upset me. How can I get him to stop?
A: Never mind what he says. What do you feel? Why are you a slave to hurt feelings? He sees your distress as a handy target for his own pressures. Work with these ideas until you disappear as a target. He will disappear as an archer. VH

♥ Miracles arise from a miraculous state of mind, or a state of miracle-readiness.

Desire is prayer.

If You Love God… by Joyce Meyer

There are three things of which the superior man stands in awe. He stands in awe of the ordinances of Heaven. He stands in awe of great men. He stands in awe of the words of sages. -- Confucian Canon, Confucianism

Do you love GOD? Say so here.

♥ Wholeness is the perceptual content of miracles. They thus correct, or atone for, the faulty perception of lack.

The sculptor turns from the marble to his model in order to perfect his conception. We are all sculptors, working at various forms, moulding and chiseling thought. What is the model before mortal mind? Is it imperfection, joy, sorrow, sin, suffering? Have you accepted the mortal model? Are you reproducing it?

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

Keep this idea running through all your life: “In Thee I live and move and have my being.” ECH

♥ The miracle dissolves error because the Holy Spirit identifies error as false or unreal. This is the same as saying that by perceiving light, darkness automatically disappears.

"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket--keep it in your own."

When you set a goal you need to adopt three qualities to help manifest the end result.

Desire

First, you must have a burning desire to achieve the goal.

Belief

Second,you must have a strong belief that the goal is possible and within reach.

Expectancy

Third, you must be in the state of expectancy – you must be expecting to see results.

 Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and endless plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. ~ William Hutchinson Murray

When you create goals keep these principles in mind:

Mother Confessor of Hollywood

Adela Rogers St. Johns (née Adela Nora Rogers; 1894 – 1988) was an American journalist, novelist, and screenwriter. She wrote a number of screenplays for silent movies and, late in life, appeared with other early twentieth-century figures as one of the 'witnesses' in Warren Beatty's Reds, but she is best remembered for her groundbreaking exploits as a "girl reporter" during the 1920s and 1930s.

Everyone’s A Valentine.

Just as shadows come together and no harm is done, so when objects meet in what is called an accident (like cars colliding), it makes no impression on true consciousness, for in the dream, the realm of spirit, nothing has happened.

♥ Miracles praise God through you. They praise him by honoring his creations, affirming their perfection. They heal because they deny body-identification and affirm spirit-identification.
♥ ~  Principles of Miracles #29 ♥

When I think I know what’s best for someone….and they aren’t doing it….I feel really irritated. Or I’m frightened, and sad.

I believe I must not be helping, which is also disappointing.

I get angry, I sulk, I threaten, I worry, I wring my hands, I’m anxious.

I see pictures of the future with them feeling horrible, suicidal, dead.

But who would I be without the belief that this person should STOP THINKING THOSE THOUGHTS!??

Without the thoughts that they should do something different than they are doing…..or faster, or smoother, or with more joy, or power?

I would feel the deep compassion of Not Knowing. The Mystery of their human condition. GraceNotes:

Deep within, the “still small voice” whispers, “It is so! It is true!”

“Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up that hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the Son of God, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the threshold of your mind.” Lesson 122

The three A's : Ask, Act, Appreciate 

What is an idol? Where is an idol?

The miracle does nothing just because the minds are joined, and cannot separate. T(28, III, 3.1)

What is the world except a little gap perceived to tear eternity apart, and break it into days and months and years? And what are you who live within the world except a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, each concealed within a separate and uncertain bit of clay? T(28, III, 7.4-5)*

Be not afraid, my child, but let your world be gently lit by miracles. And where the little gap was seen to stand between you and your brother, join him there. T(28, III, 8.1-2)

There is a way of finding certainty right here and now.

Many things are possible.

The question is what’s probable. ~ Father Brown

♥ Miracles are natural signs of forgiveness. Through miracles you accept God's forgiveness by extending it to others. ♥ ~  Principles of Miracles #21 ♥

Think of the Holy Spirit as the most advanced GPS ever built. It is omniscient, always present, and perfectly accurate. It has a map of the entire earth pre-loaded, it is impossible to go somewhere that it doesn’t know about. It runs on a battery which will never run out. It never loses its signal from God, ever. It knows exactly where you are, to the exact millimeter. It tells you what you need to do to get from wherever you are to the final destination, in the most optimal way. It knows the shortcuts, the traffic situation, toll roads, speed cameras. The Holy Spirit knows everything. It is outside of time and space, but operates within its constraints to communicate with us. The Holy Spirit is the memory of God. The Holy Spirit is my GPS

♥ Miracles are associated with fear only because of the belief that darkness can hide. You believe that what your physical eyes cannot see does not exist. This leads to a denial of spiritual sight. ♥ ~  Principles of Miracles #22 ♥

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer

A light brighter than sunlight, brighter than any other light I had ever seen.

 It was the weirdest experience of my life. I was walking along one night, worrying about the rent money when I heard this voice say ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’. But no one was there. I had absolutely no idea what it meant. When I went home, I suddenly had a visualization of a seagull flying along, and I began to write. I just put down what I saw. -Richard Bach

Best-selling author of “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”

♥ A miracle is a service.  It is the maximal service you can render to another.  It is a way of loving your neighbor as yourself.  You recognize your own and your neighbor's worth simultaneously.♥ ~  Principles of Miracles #18 ♥

We did not believe that the visible universe did not exist but was delusion and was to be denied. Our reason revolted at this and we decided that form was the product of God’s creative activity that this wonderful world was not to be denied but to be understood and interpreted.

Beauty is an expression of Divine Goodness.

To understand New Thought you have to study Phineas Parkhurst Quimby. His time with Lucius Burkmar and then with Warren Felt Evans, Julius Dresser, Annetta Dresser and MEB. Then you move into Emma Curtis Hopkins, Malinda Cramer, Kate Bingham, Nona Brooks, Alethea Brooks Small, Fannie Brooks James, Charles Fillmore, and Myrtle Fillmore. And, finally, you look at Thomas Troward, and Ernest S. Holmes. And then you have the foundations of Christian Science, Divine Science, Unity and Religious Science.
