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
The ceremonies
that are customarily used in prayer are mere superstitions and have been
invented to give prayer an air of solemnity. Those who do practice the art of
prayer are often ignorant of the laws that control it.
They attribute
the results obtained to the ceremonies and mistake the letter for the spirit.
The essence of
prayer is faith; but faith must be permeated with understanding to be given
that active quality which it does not possess when standing alone.
“Therefore, get
wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs 4:7
This book is an
attempt to reduce the unknown to the known, by pointing out conditions on which
prayers are answered, and without which they cannot be answered.

Man
does not realize that consciousness is the Father who does the work, so he
attempts to express that which he is not conscious of being. Such struggles are
doomed to disappointment, for only the present expresses itself. Unless I am
conscious of being that which I seek, I will not find it. God (Your awareness)
is the substance and fullness of all. God's will is the recognition of that
which is, not of that which shall be. Instead of seeing this saying as, "Thy,
will be done"- see it as, "Thy will, be done" (is done). The works are
finished. The principle by which all things are made visible is eternal. Even
though, "Eyes have not seen nor ears heard, neither hath it entered into
the hearts of man, The things which God hath prepared for those who love the law."
I Know My Father
by Neville Goddard
ONE CAUSE, ONE
SOLUTION
It has become crystal clear that one common denominator, a sense
of unworthiness, fuels all the myriad addictive behaviors. Our preferred
substances and behaviors become the anesthesia that masks the pain that
accompanies fear, hatred and a lack of self-worth.
When those feelings of fear or unworthiness
are finally addressed, they are allowed to heal. Thus, the addictive patterns
evaporate automatically without force or trauma.
“Only my condemnation injures me. Only
my own forgiveness sets me free….Now is there silence all around the world. Now
is there stillness where before there was a frantic rush of thoughts that made
no sense. Now is there tranquil light
across the face of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep.”- ACIM Lesson 198
Let us assume the feeling,
“I am Christ,” and our whole behavior will subtly and unconsciously change in
accordance with that assumption.
Our
subconscious assumptions continually externalize themselves that others may
consciously see us as we subconsciously see ourselves, and tell us by their
actions what we have subconsciously assumed ourselves to be. Therefore let us
assume the feeling, “I AM Christ,” until our conscious claim becomes our
subconscious assumption that “We all with open face beholding as in a glass the
glory of the Lord are changed into the same image from glory to glory.”

Corinthians 3:18 Let God awake and His enemies be destroyed. There is no greater
prayer for man. Neville
