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.
~  Principles of Miracles #41
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?
Then you are haunted in your work by vicious sculptors and hideous forms. Do you not hear from all mankind of the imperfect model? The world is holding it before your gaze continually. The result is that you are liable to follow those lower patterns, limit your life-work, and adopt into your experience the angular outline and deformity of matter models.
To remedy this, we must first turn our gaze in the right direction, and then walk that way. We must form perfect models in thought and look at them continually, or we shall never carve them out in grand and noble lives. Let unselfishness, goodness, mercy, justice, health, holiness, love — the kingdom of heaven — reign within us, and sin, disease, and death will diminish until they finally disappear. Science and Health — Chapter VIII Footsteps of Truth
A major contribution of miracles is their strength in releasing you from your false sense of isolation, deprivation and lack. ~  Principles of Miracles #42
I was listening to Christian Science Sentinel Radio June 2010 Vol 9 No 6
A lady mentioned she’s fallen on the ice but her 1st thoughts were “I can’t fall out of God’s hands in the kingdom of heaven. There are no upside downs in the kingdom of heaven.” She just felt a little sore after that. This reminds me of an episode Robin Duncan mentioned about her falling and declaring the Truth. Me, I slipped on the ice this week and was grateful I didn’t break something. It depends on the mindset after and the shock of the event hen it happens. I’m almost back to normal.
"In order to pray aright, we must enter into the closet and shut the door. We must close the lips and silence the material senses. In the quiet sanctuary of earnest longings, we must deny sin and plead God's allness. We must resolve to take up the cross, and go forth with honest hearts to work and watch for wisdom, Truth, and Love. We must 'pray without ceasing.' Such prayer is answered, in so far as we put our desires into practice. The Master's injunction is, that we pray in secret and let our lives attest our sincerity." (Science & Health 15:14)
"Desire is prayer." Mary Baker Eddy
Remember: Expect Miracles!

Cayce’s whole approach put him in a real double-bind, from which he did not recover. When he spoke of a dream in which he saw his own rather immanent reincarnation, he was perfectly accurate. He was sufficiently attuned to real communication to make it easy to correct his errors, and free him to communicate without strain. It is noticeable throughout his notes that he frequently engaged in a fallacy that we have already noted in some detail: namely, the tendency to endow the physical with nonphysical properties. Cayce suffered greatly from this error. He did not make either of the other three. However, you will remember that it is this one which is particularly vulnerable to magical associations. Cayce’s accuracy was so great that, even when he did this, he was able to apply it constructively. But it does not follow that this was a genuinely constructive approach.
It should also be noted that, when
Cayce attempted to “see” the body in proper perspective, he saw physically discernible auras surrounding it. This is a curious compromise, in which the nonphysical attributes of the self are approached AS IF they could be seen with the physical eye. Atonement without Sacrifice urText (That puts a ne spin on auras. And the who, what, where, when and why of Cayce’s reincarnation are meaningless. The idea of ACIM is to choose the Holy Spirit or Jesus as your teacher, realize you are in heaven and have never left home.  I went to Christian Science for church service today. That is one thing they’re taught. The material body, matter is unimportant, all is spirit.)
