Happy New 2015 Year

Live by the Rule of Divine Life and DON'T COMPLAIN.

Guy Finley: Those who seek first the Kingdom of Heaven are always in the right place, at the right time, to see their cup filled, and to drink from it... as freely as they will.

"OM"

The name "OM" was a name of God which the ancient people of Asia used to repeat, and do even repeat now. They hold their breath while speaking it. It means: Good beyond Good. Far beyond even our ideas of Good, there is Infinite Good, awaiting our words.

Catarrh Treatment

"I pronounce you free from the thoughts of other people. You think your own noble thoughts. You are free, whole, cleansed, and good. You are healed! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, I pronounce you well and strong and at peace through and through."

Lamenting

It is a singular fact that people who lament much over anything always have liver complaint. Jeremiah wrote, "Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured out upon the earth." You see he speaks of three maladies from lamentations, viz: poor eyesight, bowel trouble, and liver complaint. This may often be a hint to you in denying the cause of these three sicknesses. But back of the lamenting there must have been something believed worth lamenting about, and that is always some wrong done by somebody. That wrong never took place in God's Kingdom, so there was nothing to lament about, and the Spirit never laments. Therefore, there is no disease. This reasoning put mentally to your patient is the flowing of a river of Truth through his dry lands. It will wash away the history of his disease. It will bring out living health in his organs. In the Scriptures you can find many instances of reasoning like that of Jeremiah.

Selfishness

When you see someone who seems to be selfish, what will you say? You will say, "Spirit never formulates in selfishness." Or you will say, "Truth never expresses in selfishness." And you will be sure to say, "I do not accuse myself or my world of selfishness."
Why do you say, "I do not accuse myself of selfishness"?

There is Good for me and I ought to have it.

As we acknowledge that the Good we are seeking must be our God, because it pulls and pushes us all the time to see if we cannot come nearer to it, we must find ourselves better and better satisfied.

God is my support

In order to be a Christian one must tell the Truth of God. One Truth is that God the Good careth for us. We are told by Jesus Christ to take no care for ourselves. To sit down and proclaim to the universe that "My support is my Good, my Good is my God, thus God is my support," is to stir the air to work with the mountains and seas to bring us our new provisions.
Jesus Christ said

Turmoil

We have great peace in the Spirit, there is no turmoil whatever in the Spirit. If there is turmoil it is a signal that we have tried to believe in both evil and good at the same time. It cannot be done.

When there is turmoil within your own mind, you will make haste to say:

2015 is the year for the application of the ideas that have been given you.

Take a mental inventory of what you are thinking, feeling, doing, and saying, when it comes to your money, and your state of wealth and abundance. Replace phrases like, "I can't afford it" with

the Wonder Child

CHRISTMAS is the season of Pantomime, in London at any rate, and a few Christmases pass without the story of Dick Whittington being told again at some theater or other. The children never tire of hearing the story of little Dick and the chimes – children as a rule are good judges of Spiritual Truth. Although we shall never be sure of the cold facts about Sir Richard Whittington who flourished at Guildhall so many years ago, the Spiritual Truth about little Dick Whittington and what happened to him that evening on Highgate Hill is eternal.

What is Surrender?

"Wisdom is a marriage – a synergy – of heart and mind. " Stephen Covey

“I saw that everything is, and always was, and always will be, absolute perfection. Nothing is finished, yet nothing’s left undone. I could appreciate the beauty of each thread, each life, the love that’s shining in each dream we’ve given to the whole. I came to see that God was dreaming in us, and through us. All God does is dream creation into being. Creation is the key. Until we consciously join in that process, God will only be a distant presence, and we mere victims at the hand of fate. … Once I move into the miracle of co-creation, we’re all one. Everything is possible. We’re doing this together.” From

The Most Effective Payer

Having faith in who you are and what you love to do gives you the courage to follow your heart. Inside of what you are attempting to conceal you will find the purity and love that you desire to share. http://www.receiveyourlife.com

Larry Dossey, in his book Prayer is Good Medicine, stated: the most effective payer is:

Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God?

1. You will accept only whom you invite. You are free to determine who shall be your guest, and how long he shall remain with you. Yet this is not real freedom, for it still depends on how you see it. The Holy Spirit is there, although he cannot help you without your invitation. And the ego is nothing, whether you invite it in or not. Real freedom depends on welcoming reality, and of your guests only the Holy Spirit is real. Know, then, Who abides with you merely by recognizing what is there already, and do not be satisfied with imaginary comforters, for the Comforter of God is in you. ACiM Text - Chapter Eleven - GOD OR THE EGO to remember

New Thought is often confused with New Age.

New Age is made up of people who are genuinely seeking for better answers to the problems of life, genuinely seeking the spiritual path. New Thoughters know where the path is, because they are already on it, even if they fall off once in a while. New Thoughters know enough to keep an open mind, but not to “dabble in the occult,” which Charles Fillmore warned against. Without abandoning their Western roots and rationality, they learn from Eastern ideas and practices, especially the ones about centered attention and balance. As Joan Cline-McCary puts it in her book about Divine Science founder Malinda Cramer, Malinda Cramer’s Hidden Harmony [1],

See Through The Eyes Of A Child

"All can be received but for the asking.
Here the door is never locked,
and no one is denied his least request,
or his most urgent need."

The Fool Sketch

In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus is the god of beginnings and transitions, and thereby of gates, doors, doorways, passages and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past.

One face was bearded, the other beardless. In Freemasonry they became the faces of the two Johns -

John the Baptist

The Gospels tell us he was the son of Elisabeth, an elderly woman of the daughters of Aaron, and Zacharias, a temple priest in Jerusalem.

The writings of Flavius Josephus, the Jewish chronicler who wrote in the last quarter of the 1^st century AD, may reveal the true reason for John’s imprisonment and death.

The Myrrhophore

In the late sixth century, Gregory of Tours (544-95), a historian of the Franks, was to speak of Mary Magdalene ending her days at Ephesus in Asia Minor, where John is thought to have become its first bishop. Her flight to Ephesus is confirmed by Modeus (d. 634), patriarch of Jerusalem, who tells us:

Communing with Spirit lights up your path.

Your mind is active to gather conclusions quickly. You may be supremely accurate by learning the Divine law of the Spirit among us. The spiritual doctrine at its highest you should learn. It is this: “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” “I and the Father are One.” Emma Curtis Hopkins

            PRAYER is an art and requires practice. The first requirement is a controlled imagination. Parade and vain repetitions are foreign to prayer. Its exercise requires tranquility and peace of mind, “Use not vain repetitions,” for prayer is done in secret and “thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:6

Called by Love

You first forgive, then pray, and you are healed. Your prayer has risen up and called to God, Who hears and answers. You have understood that you forgive and pray but for yourself. And in this understanding you are healed. In prayer you have united with your Source, and understood that you have never left. This level cannot be attained until there is no hatred in your heart, and no desire to attack the Son of God. Song of Prayer, S-3.IV.4

Solitude and Letting Go.

 “Inside myself is a place where I live all alone, and that’s where I renew my springs that never dry up.” ~ Pearl Buck

"What could you not accept,
if you but knew that everything that happens,
all events, past, present and to come,
are gently planned by One Whose only
  purpose is your good?"

Special Principles of Miracle Workers

1. The miracle abolishes the need for lower-order concerns. Since it is an out-of-pattern time interval, the ordinary considerations of time and space do not apply. When you perform a miracle, I will arrange both time and space to adjust to it.

2. A clear distinction between what is created and what is made is essential. All forms of healing rest on this fundamental correction in level perception.

3. Never confuse right- and wrong-mindedness. Responding to any form of error with anything except a desire to heal is an expression of this confusion.

4. The miracle is always a denial of this error and an affirmation of the truth. Only right-mindedness can correct in a way that has any real effect. Pragmatically, what has no real effect has no existence. Its effect, then, is emptiness. Being without substantial content, it lends itself to projection.

5. The level-adjustment power of the miracle induces the right perception for healing. Until this has occurred healing cannot be understood. Forgiveness is an empty gesture unless it entails correction. Without this it is essentially judgmental, rather than healing.

6. Miracle-minded forgiveness is only correction. It has no element of judgment at all. The statement "Father forgive them for they know not what they do" in no way evaluates what they do. It is an appeal to God to heal their minds. There is no reference to the outcome of the error. That does not matter.

7. The injunction "Be of one mind" is the statement for revelation-readiness. My request "Do this in remembrance of me" is the appeal for cooperation from miracle workers. The two statements are not in the same order of reality. Only the latter involves an awareness of time, since to remember is to recall the past in the present. Time is under my direction, but timelessness belongs to God. In time we exist for and with each other. In timelessness we coexist with God.

8. You can do much on behalf of your own healing and that of others if, in a situation calling for help, you think of it this way:

Call for help vs Call for love.

The single aim of the teacher turns the divided goal of the pupil into one direction, with the call for help becoming his one appeal. This then is easily responded to with just one answer, and this answer will enter the teacher's mind unfailingly. From there it shines into his pupil's mind, making it one with his. ACiM - Manual for Teachers - Section 17 - How Do God's Teachers Deal with Magic Thoughts?

Speakout when necessary or possible.

A compassionate king wished to help the poor citizens of his land. He was also a wise king. He refused to hand out unearned benefits, knowing how they corrupt human nature. So he set up bountiful stores of food and clothing at one end of a long, dark valley. All along the trail he placed straw men, each one more fierce-looking than the last. The citizens who dared to face and pass by the fierce figures received their share of the reward.

The Thoughts of God / The Thought God holds of you.

Only the Thoughts of God are true. And all that follows from them comes from what they are, and is as true as is the holy Source from which they came. ACiM - Text Chapter Seventeen - Forgiveness and the Holy Relationship - Section 3 - Shadows of the Past

Don't ask for a break, ask for a breakthrough.

You have experienced in daily events what it means to break through that school problem or that difficulty in repairing an appliance around the house. A breakthrough on earthly terms simply means that you stuck with it long enough to understand what you didn’t understand before, and the difficulty and dilemma disappears.

Spiritually speaking

Is there a way to distinguish between whether you listen to the voice of the ego or the voice of the Holy Spirit?

“The Course offers some means of distinguishing, one of them being that when you are following the Holy Spirit’s guidance; you are ‘wholly without fear’. But really the question is misplaced. The focus should not be on how you can tell which voice you’re hearing, but on clearing out the obstacles to the voice of the Holy Spirit – namely, guilt and the ego’s sense of specialness. The more you get rid of theses interferences, the more you will hear the true voice of the Holy Spirit. The question pf ‘who’s who?’ will then arise less and less.”~ Ken Wapnick

“The Holy Spirit can reach you in a dream, a phone call, something you overhear that ‘clicks’ for you. Because the Course does refer to a voice, sometimes people get confused and think they have to hear one in a literal sense.’ ~ Gloria Wapnick
