The Silence is a medium by which man comes in a closer touch with the Infinite.

God's will for you is only good and nothing can withhold your good from you.

An inspiring verse from the Book of Revelation reminds you that nothing and no one keeps your good from you.  "Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut."

Jesus said, "It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom."

The truth that the Master taught and demonstrated blesses you, for it reassures you that no one can withhold your good.  The power to attract your good and the power to sustain your good is within you.  All good that comes to you comes by right of spirituality consciousness.

God did not create a world of loss, lack, or limitation.  Those things are humankind's invention.  God's world is prosperous and perpetually new.  As you keep your faith centered in God's truth, as you know that you live in a spiritual world of perfect ideas, negation has no power over you.  You see the good in all persons and situations and you discover that the bounty of God is omnipresent.

Even when Jesus asked a person who was requesting prayer, “Do you believe?” it is translated closer in today's language to, “Can you accept?”

A gift of 41 Positive Quotes by 41 Empowered Women http://positiveprovocations.com/2014/03/08/a-gift-of-41-positive-quotes-by-41-empowered-women-happy-womens-day/

"You have a very large basketful of beliefs, attitudes, viewpoints, convictions and hopes and anxieties toward yourself. When you think about yourself, you think about yourself according to your own preferred ideas. Even when you think you are a weak person or a frightened person, you prefer to have that attitude. And then five minutes later, you prefer to have the other attitude of saying that you are brave and strong and intelligent." VH

A woman had interviewed 100 "cancer survivors" in hopes of finding out what these survivors had in common. She described a cancer survivor as someone who had been given a terminal diagnosis of cancer with a poor prognosis for recovery, but who was still alive and healthy, enjoying life ten or twelve years later. Interestingly enough, she could find no common patterns in the treatment received by these people. Different people received different treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, nutrition programs, surgery, spiritual healing, etc. However, there was one thing that these survivors all shared: they all believed that the method of treatment they were getting was going to work for them. The belief, not the treatment, made the difference. BELIEFS Pathways to Health & Well-being Robert Dilts 1990

"The love of God, as it is the sovereign remedy of all miseries, so in particular it effectively prevents all bodily disorders the passions introduce, by keeping the passions themselves within due bounds; and by the unspeakable joy and perfect calm serenity and tranquillity it gives the mind, it becomes the most powerful of all the means of health and long life." Primitive Physick - John Wesley

Jung speaks of the Holy Spirit as "a phenomenon of the collective unconscious" (Contributions to Analytical Psychology)

"If mental strain, and depression can produce constipation, then constipation arising from other causes may and does produce mental depression and nervousness. In fact in most nervous disorders there is some such vicious circle as this."--Thomas Parker Boyd.

Be perfectly still, physically, then mentally. Next, use a process of denial. Say to yourself, "In heaven there is no pain; there is no sickness; there is no lack; there is no fear; there is no weakness." Now follow it with the positive affirmation, "In harmony or Heaven there is perfect being; in Heaven there is perfect health; in Heaven there is perfect life; in Heaven there is perfect power; in Heaven there is perfect harmony." Then let your mind rest upon the fact that Heaven is the Inner Kingdom. "The Finger of God." Thomas Parker Boyd

Wrong thinking produces inharmony in our body, which in turn produces sickness. Our bodies sometimes are instantly re-harmonized while in the Silence. In the Silence our minds become passive, open, free and loving, at which time the Infinite Master of harmony touches the mental chords of our being and we are well.

Just as the piano can be tuned, so can the mind. Man's body is made up of twelve octaves the same as in music. All matter is music. All matter is composed of twelve octaves. Wrong thinking brings inharmony in some of the octaves of our body. Right thinking tunes these organs, puts them back into their normal condition.

Right thinking, therefore, is the most important thing in life. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. Just as a tuning fork near a piano will respond with a vibration when a key of the same pitch is struck on the piano nearby, so likewise do the bodies of men respond to proper stimulus and become in tune. By right thinking man can re-harmonize himself, can achieve health, success and prosperity.

To enter the Silence one must first establish perfect relaxation in mind and body. Then as the consciousness is brought from one part of the body to another the tuning takes place.

When wrong thinking becomes right thinking, then man's right relationship to God is restored. He becomes an open channel for the influx of the spirit so that whatever demonstration he may desire he may have.

The Silence is a medium by which man comes in a closer touch with the Infinite; a medium by which man becomes conscious of his nearness to the Infinite. The Silence is the meeting place where man's spirit links with God's spirit; where spirit meets spirit and the marvel of His grace never ceases. The Silence is another way of praying, which is another way of concentration. It is another way of visualization. In the Silence a man can by his thoughts change his life, his conditions, his environment, his all. By right thinking man becomes harmonious. A harmonious man--in tune with the Infinite--is on the King's highway to health, success, abundance, prosperity, happiness, love and peace. By means of wrong thinking our minds are put out of harmony with the great Infinite spirit of God. When wrong thinking becomes right thinking, then man's right relationship to God is restored. He becomes an open channel for the influx of the spirit so that whatever demonstration he may desire he may have. In the Silence a man may change his thinking as in no other way, therefore, may change his heart, change his whole being, change his environment, change every condition to which he was subject. The human body may be likened to a harp. When man thinks rightly his body is in tune; but wrong thinking creates inharmony in the body and produces sickness. Wrong thinking produces inharmony in the mind, which, of course, disconnects man from rightful association with the Divine. A man must, therefore, think right. Yet, because of centuries of erroneous conception of God and of the world, man has been a negative instead of a positive being, and his unwisdom has reacted upon the present generation. We are mental sending and receiving stations. What we receive depends upon how we are thinking Now.

"I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy and what I am myself I desire for

everyone else."

You may practice the Silence sitting, reclining, or in bed.

There is no better way to learn how to relax than by going into the Silence. Are you tense? Let go. Relax.

Then direct the mind to go from one part of the body to another. Take a deep breath between each change of your consciousness. Be sure to use the diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing--breathing through the nostrils, mouth closed until the muscles of the abdomen expand.

The best time to hold the Silence is as you retire at night, and just as you awaken in the morning. But you should hold your thought at least three times a day, without stress or strain, without doubt or worry, passive in mind and body--perfectly relaxed.

Hold the Silence or thought upon retiring at night, awakening in the morning, and at noon day. Of course, you may take any other time that is convenient. You may concentrate on the roadway, street car, home or office, but it is well, if possible, to have one room for your Silence. Most people in that way will build up stronger vibrations. At noon now there are all over the world thousands of others holding Silence so that there is a great combined mental force working together at one time for success, health, prosperity and happiness, and we therefore get the benefit of this great vibration.

The more often you hold the Silence without stress or strain, as a rule, the quicker may be the demonstration.

The real part of me is Spirit, not matter. I believe that this body of mine is a Tabernacle for the Spirit. The real "I am" within me is therefore Spirit. The real "me" is Spirit.

This Spirit is the God Spirit. This is what Jesus meant when in the fourteenth chapter of John and again in the seventeenth chapter of the same Gospel, speaking to His Disciples He referred to "I in you, you in Me and We in God."

My Spirit is a part of the God Spirit. God is health, God is perfection, God is abundance, God is harmonious.

Therefore, the real "I am" is God; the real "I am" is health, perfection, abundance and harmony.

When I am sick I know that it is the material of me that is sick, not the God Spirit; it is my physical being which is out of harmony, it is this Tabernacle of which Paul speaks, housing my spirit, which gives me pain and suffering. The real "me" is not sick, it is my body.

"The Universal Abundant Spirit Supplies All My Needs."

There is no want or limitation in the law. If, perchance, there should appear to be lack of, or need of, abundance in our lives, it is because of wrong thinking--not because there is a lack of abundance. Therefore, we should enter the Silence with the profound faith and conviction that the world is filled with plenty, and that  all our needs are most bountifully supplied.

"All is Good."

In spirit, of course, there is no wrong, no sorrow, no grief, no misfortune, no losses, no reverses. In short all is perfection.

We plan our home today--and build it tomorrow. We make our merchandise today and market it tomorrow. We sow our seed today and we reap the harvest tomorrow. We build our career today, little by little, and we reach the outcome tomorrow. Therefore, our thinking today will change our tomorrow. The thinking of this generation will change the condition of tomorrow's generation. If tomorrow's generation is going to be free from the recognition of sorrows, misfortunes, griefs, fears, pain, losses, failures, reverses, inharmony, discord, etc., it depends upon our seed sowing.

Our seed sowing today should be "All is Good." All is Good in spirit.

"There is abundance in the world for me given by the bountiful hand of Omnipotence. I gratefully claim and accept all the supply for my needs."

From now on the spirit goes before me--making easy and prosperous all my ways--and I have abundance for every need. From the bountiful hand of Omnipotence I have abundant health--I have abundant love--I have abundant prosperity--I have abundant peace. My Father careth for the grass of the field and the birds of the air--and He careth for me. I realize it.

As I enter the Silence this time, expecting to get health, success, prosperity and happiness, I am going to have my mind filled with the Spirit of Divine Unity. Unity among the nations of the world, unity in abundance, unity in love, unity in prosperity, unity in health and unity in spirit.

There can be no separation in Spirit. All is Mind, all is God, all is Universal Energy. I am part of the creative force. I am a part and parcel of the Unity of Love, Nature and God. Therefore, where God is, I recognize a completeness. And I, being a part of God, a part of this spirit, a part of the power with Him, am, therefore, at one with God and all thought.

I am therefore at one with God and all spirit. Nothing can separate me from the love of God, but my own mental attitude. Nothing can separate me from abundance, happiness, success, prosperity and love, but my own wrong thinking. Love is dealt in the world in the spirit of God and, therefore, recognizing this unity of love, I am a part of it and have perfect love, success, prosperity, abundance and health.

For the good of those who would do me wrong. "They know not what they do." They alone will have to reap the harvest of the weeds they are sowing. My wish for them is that they may learn their lesson easily and early. My blessings I send out to them.
