Becoming infinite is a mystery. Usually we meet it within ourselves
during vigilant, mindful silence. Your organized and structured thoughts,
memories, and concepts seem to protect you from that illusive possibility
and wonder. Today be open to your own Infiniteness occurring in your
bittersweet reality. Into such openings the real wonder can seep and
pour.
A good technique might be to just observe and hold silent vigil from
a broader perspective today. Don't judge anything that happens. Just
breath quietly. In each moment, wait to see what concept, memory, understanding,
outcome, person, place or thing coalesces and comes into your experience
and existence. Expect to be surprised at your own holiness. At every
moment when you feel most certain you understand exactly what is transpiring,
that you know what is next, that your or they are right or wrong, that
you get this, have seen this before, that you recognize this and know
where it fits - - those will be the times and situations to stop and
watchfully wait for Spirit to come into play.
For one day resist all of the ways you mentally and emotionally have
trained yourself to think and react in order to comprehend, to find
your place, to be powerful, to be safe. Because to the extent that you
are able to silence all these organizing and comprehending patterns,
you will find that Infinite experience. The place in you that is pure,
whole, infinite, wondrous, and fleeting in daily life. Simply take up
the work and allow yourself to enter these truly fleeting but magnificent
places. It is there you will find the wings you wear, crushed and bound
by the habits of your thoughts and reactions.
Be lost in the mystery of the Infinite today; experience more of who
you are. This is the task, the key, and the reward.
In Peace,
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
I center myself in a moment of Presentness. A moment of hushed, cosmic reverberance
where I meet universal spiritual truth. The truth that there is only
One conveying power aware of its unbound infinity and
universality even in the finiteness of expression. From the silence
within comes a realization
that I, too, am a process of It's self-revelation making visible the
inherent truth of its powers of existence according to the harmonic
law natural
to all manifestation of the Infinite. This now moment allows me to know
I am the very nature
of an essential and universal good manifesting itself.
So today I call forth this nature; this self-effectuating consciousness
that is the purity of infinite diversity. I open wider and allow the
light of eternal self-existence to pour Itself into all of my activities
~ making and
keeping all things pure. There will be no ignorance leading to wrong
will, not the falsehood
of separation contrary to the all good of Oneness. In soul, mind, life,
and body I
am a consciousness of harmony, self-knowledge, and self-mastery incorporating
an identity
of persona. I have particularized myself as a composition of life that
is potent, strong, and beautifully recognized as a child of God. Today,
I live
not as a personality expressive of a larger secret being, but greater,
as the inner conscious Existence
self-revealed!
May it happen that this inner largeness overflows into the surface formation
of my structural limits always and forever. My heart leaps with anticipation
as my Power
of Being moves forward into another day sharing this multiplicity of
goodness with
all I meet. And so it is. Amen.

- Garden of Empowerment
AFFIRM:
I dance in the garden of empowerment. Here I move to and fro in the
rhythm of freedom. The magnificence of my sweet Spirit revealed here.
Pain and fear do not circulate within these currents. In this moment
I breath and feel ... breath and honor ... my supreme eminence and all
I bring to this life with my golden Light. I am here to behold all opportunities
~ not to wrestle with struggles. In the golden hue of Self-remembrance
I declare my own uprising of consciousness. Strengthened I breath and
know ... breath and emanate ... the richness of my Being as the diligence
of God's gracefulness. And so I Am and forever shall be free. Amen.

- Synthesis
Transitioners. I'm sure that somewhere in the universe we are referred
to as "the transitioners." Everything on this beautiful
blue green pearl transitions from one thing to another. It is as
if that was the macrocosmic plan formed over the millennia. Think
about it, aren't you always transitioning to your next step? I'm
sure that I arrange my consciousness so that I will continue to
grow and experience new realities, new life, new joys, deeper sorrows......
Each Friday this month we are going to focus on synthesis. When
you collect all your memories and experiences and synthesize them
within your energy field you become a new being, one who has never
existed before. Every human soul remembers how to do synthesis,
how to incorporate the desparate parts of Self into one integrated
human embodying divinity. But we never thought the experiences
of this process would scare off so many of us from synthesizing.
After all, when you synthesize, you will no longer be all of the
selves you remember yourself to be. You will be other.
Do you, do I, want to be other? I know I do this life well. Never
mind that I repeatedly look for a life other than the one I have
created for myself; never mind any of that because -- to change
is hard. It may knock me off balance! Never mind that I complain
from time to time that this is who I am. And never mind that every
other sentient being on, and in the planet feels that humans think
too much. The truth is we do THINK too much ... we do. I do.
It seems to me that as spiritual people we need to find those "markers" in
our physical reality that remind us that to function well in this
domain we must follow the natural steps from flow to alignment.
With that in mind, take time today to marvel at the wonder of nature.
Look at what is happening naturally, beautifully, gracefully, powerfully.
New growth is emerging and it has been done through the process
of synthesis. Listen as your own growth calls you; "I am more
than this, I am more than this." It is Spirit incorporating
the strengths of the old self with none of the weakness! And the
protocol is synthesis-- allow it.
Remember what it means to be a Transitioner. The intention of assimilating
during transitions is to collect the learning that has occurred
so it can be used in other places, other ways. No learning is ever
wasted for a Transitioner.
Seeing each of us grow in harmony and in conflict,
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
The renewing, rejuvenating spirit of this One Life fills my
world today with its noble beauty. Alive within this potent, powerful
cycle I connect with Nature
and her "newness of life," for just as the plant kingdom springs forth
with its first shoots of new growth, I know that I too am ready to open and reveal
the gifts of a winter's introspection.
I consciously join in this rhythm of life that births buds into early flowers
by declaring the same knowing in this Universe that opens flowers in their time
is the wisdom of my primal Source for I am one with all. As I grow in my upward
movement toward the perfect flower I surrender to the Divine Will that designs
all life paths. It is this power that allows me to grow. I AM life in renewal.
As the Law manifests itself through Love, I stand showered in this providence
of Good. Thank you God, and so it is. Amen.

- Pat's Treatment
This week I will be sharing with you some of the treatments my first
year students have written. A fundamental aspect of any Science Of
Mind class is treatment, and we have learned about it from every
angle˜the components, different methods of treating, the necessary
mindset, the impact of focused energy, and what it‚s like to
give and receive treatment. They were not quite sure that they would
be able to give words the resonance of Spirit. I think you will agree
that they had nothing to worry about. I am so proud of each student's
spiritual growth this year.
We are still exploring Ernest's writings and ideas at a deeper level
while starting to apply treatment in our daily lives. Holmes˜„it
is one thing to know a principle, another to apply it.‰ so
each has begun applying the principle. Understanding the connection
between their thoughts and how their lives looked, they have individually
set about learning to use that information to manifest what they
want ˜ the money, the job, the partner, the car, the house,
the this and that. They have now empowered their lives with conscious
intent; a skill that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
Holmes stated, „Should all the wisdom of the universe be poured
over us, we should yet receive only that which we are ready to understand.‰ As
students of a spiritual philosophy we have devoured information,
now we move forward with it into life so that we can understand living
the experience of the material. This is what we all do. Take in (expand)
- and then assimilate (integrate), to demonstrate (manifest) the
intelligence you have embraced.
With endless blessings,
Rev. Angie

- Leslie's Treatment
The Basic Practice
The Navaho blessing "May you walk in beauty" catches the
essence of our spiritual practice. Beauty is both a path you travel
and what surrounds you on that path. In the splendor of the Creation,
we see its outer forms. In morality and benevolence, we recognize
its inner expressions.
Start with this practice today: with the assumption that beauty is
everywhere just waiting for you to notice it. Allow yourself to feel
its effect upon your soul. Some experiences will stop you in your
tracks and take your breath away. Others will be more subtle but
equally sublime. Then make your actions reflections of the beauty
all around you.
In Peace,
Rev. Angie

God's love and illumination surrounds me now. This love envelops
me and spreads further out from my small circle to encompass the
whole planet.
I feel the perfect stillness, the perfect love, the soothing calm,
and the peace of this time. My life is perfect now and harmonious
in every way. The sky is a beautiful blue painting and the sun in
welcome, warm and brilliant. I embrace Spring and allow the warmth
of the sun and the coolness of the dawn to shift me to this new season
filled with love and peace. I am perfectly balanced in body and in
mind. All thoughts help me move to a place that is easy and effortless.
There are no problems here. This special time of year brings not
only welcome sunshine and renewal, but a clarity to my thoughts and
the knowledge of who I truly am and what this journey is really all
about. The forces of nature are dazzling and fill my heart with love,
warmth and acceptance. It is a wonderful time to be alive! I feel
the vital energy run through my body and renew me spiritually. I
acknowledge the perfection of my experiences and invite the happiness
and joy, health and prosperity to be one with my every day reality.
For there is no separation. I am part of the whole, part of this
divine energy.
I remember that miracles are a part of my reality and I am grateful
for these simple joys. I am grateful for the wondrous secrets that
are mine to know. Am I am grateful for the keys to unlock the doors
to this perfect life. I release and let go all doubt and all thoughts
of separation. I release the crystal images of the perfect peaceful,
joyful life to Universal Law. And so it is.

- Cyndy's Poem
AFFIRM:
by Cyndy Courtright
All Thought is creative, You know how I know?
I thought it, believed it, and it was so...
Realities created by one single thought
Think it, and think it, and drive it deep
It stays there even when you are asleep
Put energy behind it, set it in motion and into the law
You reap what you sew...... It is not fate
There is no luck, just the future you create
Create your tomorrows by the thoughts you have now
Believe with your whole heart that your thoughts have the power
You create your realities with one single thought
You think; believe it, and it is so!

- Stephanie's Treatment
Treatment is the act of knowing something, of claiming something, of accepting
something, which acceptance enforces the treatment (prayer) through the Law of
Mind in Action.
TREATMENT:
by Stephanie Scott
This is a universe of absolute good. One infinite Source that is always replenishing
Itself. I am an embodiment of this beautiful existence. A blessed manifestation
of its decent into human expression.
I am endowed with infinite wisdom to meet the needs of my ever changing world.
All that I desire to know is revealed to me. All that I desire shows up in abundance
even before I ask.
For the knowledge of this universal principle I give thanks and allow all manner
of good in my life. I release these words into the law knowing that they are
done. And so it is.

- Rooted in Truth
The Atmosphere of Our Thinking
" We are all immersed in the atmosphere of our own thinking, which
is the direct result of all we have ever said, thought or done. This
decides what is to take place in our lives. Thought attracts what
is like itself and repels what is unlike. We are drawn toward those
things which we mentally image. Most of the inner processes of our
thought have been unconscious, but when we understand the Law, we
learn to consciously embody what we wish, and think of this only,
and then we are drawn silently toward it.
The emphasis on true mental healing is insistently on God, the One
Mind, the One Soul, the One Being, ever-present and ever-available;
and on man's ability and rite to make himself receptive to this healing
Presence - a realization of the essential divinity of our own nature,
and the truth that no evil can live in this Presence. We must unify
ourselves with the great Whole. The man who dares to fling his thought
into Universal Intelligence, with the assurance of one who realizes
his divine nature and its relation to the Universe - and dares to
claim all there is - will find an ever-creative good at hand to aid
him. God will honor his request. To the soul that knows its own divinity,
all else must gravitate. Let us, then, enlarge our thought processes,
and dare to think in Universal terms. Let us dare to believe that
every constructive word is invincible!" -- Ernest Holmes
TREATMENT:
by Michael Courtright
There is One Infinite Whole Perfect Presence. Its consciousness are
the God qualities of LOVE, ORDER, HARMONY, POWER, WISDOM and PEACE.
This consciousness is present everywhere and in everything; in the
hearts of man and beast alike, in all the lands of this world and
in every religion that seeks the knowledge of and communion with
God. I know that it appears our world stands poised on the brink
of Revolution, but in reality our world is in transition through
an Evolution of Consciousness that will allow Spirit to teach us
a new way to deal with our temporal conflicts. This Divine Manifestation
will affirm the Principle that we are created in the image and likeness
of the One Infinite Whole Perfect Presence and therefore we can only
exist in a world of LOVE, ORDER, HARMONY, POWER, WISDOM and PEACE.
Divine light of creation, my heart opens in gratitude for the miracle
that is at hand. I have no fears, for the miracle of rebirth is now
upon us. I celebrate its coming with every fiber of my being. And
so it is.

- Ernest on Self Reliance
On Self-Reliance
Dr. Ernest Holmes
Never lean on other people. You have strength of your own that is great
enough to do all that is necessary. The Almighty has implanted genius
within the soul of everyone and what we need to do is to unearth that
inner genius and cause it to shine forth. We will never do this while
we look to others for guidance. "To thine own self repair, wait
thou within the silence dim, and thou shalt find Him there."
All the power and intelligence of the Universe is already within, waiting
to be utilized. The Divine Spark must be fanned into a blaze of the
living Fire of your own divinity.Self-reliance is the word to dwell
on. Listen to your own voice; it will speak in terms that are unmistakable.
Trust in your own self more than in all else. All great men have learned
to do this. Every person, within his own soul, is in direct communication
with the Infinite Understanding. When we depend on other people we
are simply taking their light and trying to light our path with it.
When we depend on ourselves we are depending on that inner voice that
is God, speaking in and through man. "Man is the inlet and the
outlet to all there is in God."
"Behold I stand at the door and wait." This is a statement
of the near presence of power; but we, the Individual, must open the
door.
This door is our thought and we are the guardians of it, and when we
do open the door we will find that the Divine Presence is right at
hand, waiting, ready, and willing to do for us all that we can believe.
We are strong with the strength of the Infinite. We are not weak. We
are great and not mean. We are One with the Infinite Mind.
When you want to do a big thing, get the mental pattern, make it perfect,
know just what it means, enlarge your thought, keep it to yourself,
pass it over to the creative power behind all things, wait and listen,
and when the impression comes, follow it with assurance. Don't talk
to anyone about it. Never listen to negative talk or pay any attention
to it and you will succeed where all others fail. Reprinted by permission
of Science of Mind Magazine (A publication started by Ernest Holmes
in 1927).
TREATMENT:
There is a Power within me, within mySelf, that is invisible. I feel
and sense this Power strongly as the Power to be God.
I let the Power of God guide and direct my way, and because of this,
I am aware of my divine destiny. I am excited about why I am here on
this plane of expression because I love doing what I am here to do.
I am aware there is a Power for Love that is always moving me into
my highest good. I understand that everything that happens is the Power
of Spirit in action, no matter what the situation may be. I experience
great good because I choose to do so. I dare to listen to my inner
voice, and I dare to move into creative action, following Spirit's
divine guidance.
I know everything God creates by means of me is good. I always maintain
health, wealth, success, and moving relationships because I expect
only the good. I see that my every demonstration is the Invisible Good
manifest in the visible. And so it is.

- Peace Gets Peace
The following is a channeled message from the beloved Archangel
Mik'ael through Constance Demby. It fits so well with our philosophy
that I want to share it with all of you. In the broader perspective,
from a higher vantage point in consciousness we all can sit
in the holy realms.
" As the shifting from this resonate frequency to the next proceeds ... as
we move through the narrow channel ... things will become emotional and chaotic
... more than likely there will be conflict and strife. This is due to the resistance
some beings will have to the shift .
It will be a spiritual "war" between those that want to remain and
those that want to move into the next iteration. The aspects you term "souls" that
have mastered a certain level of neutrality, will attempt to dampen the intensity
of this "war" by appearing to ignore it. They will turn away from all
your forms of media communication and will refuse all missives containing "dramatic" data.
In reality, they are not "ignoring" what it happening; they are flooding
the "game arena" with their vibrations of peacefulness and love in
its purity; keeping the "fabric of life" from ripping itself into shreds.
And they will be encouraging anyone who will listen to do the same.
Thus, our recommendation for this point in your time is to do as much of this "ignoring" as
you can.
Prayers for "Peace" is a wonderful concept. The only challenge is this:
holding steadfastly to the idea of "peace" means you are also resisting
the idea of its opposite ... "war." Resistance will cause anything
to persist.
If you really want "peace," you need to focus on staying in present
time and creating a state of calm neutrality within yourself. Accept all information
regarding the current state of the world with a "ho hum" attitude,
then immediately return to the production necessary in your life. In this way
-- by "ignoring the strife" -- you will avoid flowing power to it;
you will avoid "feeding" it; and it will wither and die.
It is the "fear" of war that causes it to persist. Move the "fear" aside
and focus on the "now" of everyday life. Only if something presents
itself directly in your path where you feel a direct action made by you will
actually make a difference... only then should you "pay attention" to
this war-filled drama your reality must play out to accomplish its targeted goals
as a thought form. This, then, will be the best thing you can do to help everyone
though this current arena of strife and potentials of what you might consider
to be disaster."
TREATMENT:
Spirit is the one source of all Good. All life comes from it. And everything
that I experience comes from it. All is part of this One great infinite intelligent
loving Presence. And the nature of this Presence is Peace.
Although the world may not know it, I know that a consciousness of peace creates
peace. Nothing else can accomplish this. A consciousness that welcomes forgiveness
and longs to deepen its understanding brings peace. A heart that refuses to judge
brings peace. A mind that rests in the solid knowing that Spirit is One, Spirit
is Whole, and Spirit can never be overcome by conditions, actions, or experience
creates peace.
Every day, I strive to live in that consciousness. I know that while there may
be little I can do on the outside to relieve suffering in the world, the work
that I do on the inside changes things, and changes them powerfully. I let my
attention rest on peace, dwell in peace, and I envision peace as part of every
human being's daily experience of living. No matter how long our human history
has spoken with harsh words, untruths, and confusion, I know, here and now, that
peace can be generated...created...out of chaos. And I also know that peace begins
with me. So I look to myself, finding all the places I am at odds with myself
or another, and I let the light of Spirit clarify and heal those places, revealing
the truth that was always true: the nature of Spirit, and the nature of all creation,
is pure, peaceful, balanced living. I accept this for myself and for everyone.
And so it is.

- Harmony of Totality
AFFIRM:
My life is a perfect work of art. A creation of cosmic and spontaneous
genius working out a multitudinous order. My self expression a
mysterious integration of some kind of comprehensive largeness.
I AM the harmony of the totality. A delight of Divinity's will
and joy. Truth consciousness in right relation to every step of
Spirit's self-existence. And so I am.

-Accept Resistance
"Somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision."
- Eleanor Roosevelt
TREATMENT:
There is only Perfect Order in the Universe. The One all intelligent
power of God moves and yields in divine right action always. I
trust deeply in this power of Spirit, knowing that It is all there
is working in and through me. In truth every challenge and adventure
in my life is God's light playfully expressing in a human habitat.
From this moment onward I claim a new relationship with my "worldly" identity.
I allow the thinking aspects of the Self to expand and fill with
more of my Soul essence. All resistance transforms into acceptance
so that the energy may be released effortlessly and easily as it
filters through my energetic and physical bodies. In my allegiance
to One, I embrace and accept all my feelings for they are all messages
of newfound clarity and strength. Each uneasy situation and experience
in my daily life is actually a seed of "growth" being
planted by Spirit. It is an opportunity to know myself in a new
way, and so I commit to using all circumstances in my life as positive.
The truth is, all change that Spirit brings our way is designed
for our ultimate good. My job is to stay in the knowing "that
God is all there is and this Presence working within me works everything
out ever so perfectly, all the time, every time."
With an open heart that is filled with thanksgiving I know all
is occurring as planned. Yes, life is challenging by nature to
facilitate our growth into new levels of consciousness. I make
it all work -- knowing God's divine harmony flows to me and through
me, as me. And so it is.

RESSURRECTIONZAIRE
"One of the greatest ways to assure a quality tomorrow, is to leave
a sad yesterday behind."
- Carolyn Myss
This week we find ourselves at the time of the Resurrection. In
my family we just celebrated Passover. I ask each one of you to
pause and reflect upon the sacredness of these days. What does
the story of Jesus have to tell you? Have the teachings of Moses
directly impacted how you live your life? Allow yourself to be
deeply moved and influenced by the messages of Passover and Easter
Sunday. There are many experiences from our ancestors and mentors
with which to embrace and heal within ourselves today. Find yours
and write a treatment so that it can be realized in your Life.
The only Life there truly is, the only Life that matters.
In Peace and Light-
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
The Perfection of Spirit dances as all life with a commanding Presence
today. I take a moment, and with an inner awareness, I sense the
connection of harmonious alignment with Source. I am a pathway
of Divine Love today.
Using the life of Jesus and the messages of my ancestors I reflect
on the need to remember and know Spirit. I call on trust to fill
my world so that I am never frightened of change like the temple
priests. Clarity flows through me so that I am not confused when
things do not go as I expect them to, just like the disciples.
I know there is only One power of Divine order in life so I shall
not be alarmed when my power is challenged like the Roman authorities.
Daily, I express joy for life eternal and am never filled with
sorrow over the loses in my life just as the two Marys. I know
what it is like to be different, to be misunderstood, and to feel
rejected yet like Jesus I stand firm as a Spiritual being who is
wise and intelligent. And in those times when change is coming
and I must say goodbye as death draws near like Jesus at the Lord's
Supper I can remain at peace. Today I aspire to demonstrate the
courage and the trust in God that Jesus practiced during his final
days on Earth!
I give thanks for the traditions and stories that allow the greater
awakening. Jesus on the cross breaks my heart. The story of his
journey breaks it Open and I am filled with compassion towards
this soul who was so graceful at living the Presence. And so it
is.

- Immortality
A Message From Our Founder
"We are born of eternal day, and the Spiritual Sun shall never
set upon the glory of the soul, for it is coming forth of God into
self-expression. ... Every man is an incarnation of eternity, a
manifestation in the finite, of that Infinite which, Emerson tells
us, 'lies stretched in smiling repose'.
...we should learn to trust life. There is no power in the universe
which wishes anyone ill. Life is good and God is good. Why not
accept this and begin to live? No man need prepare to meet his
God, he is meeting Him every day and each hour in the day. He meets
Him in the rising sun, in the flowing stream, in the budding rose,
in the joy of friendship and love, and in the silence of his own
soul.
When we meet each other, do we not feel that subtle Presence which
flows through all things and gives light and color to our everyday
experiences?... Man is an eternal destiny, a forever-expanding
principle of conscious intelligence...the ocean in the drop of
water, the sun in its rays. Man, the real man, is birthless, deathless,
changeless; and God, as man, in man, IS man! The highest God and
the innermost God is One and the same God.
And so we prepare not to die, but to live. The thought of death
should slip from our consciousness altogether, and when this great
event of the soul takes place, it should be beautiful, sublime...a
glorious experience. As the eagle, freed from its cage, soars to
its native heights, so the soul, freed from the home of heavy flesh,
will rise and return unto it's Father's house, naked and unafraid." by
Ernest Holmes
TREATMENT:
There is One Life, that Life is God's Life, and that Life is my
Life now. It is always renewing itself in perfect and powerful
ways. This One Life moves through me in potent ways every day;
today especially I awaken to its action within me.
Wherever I've been afraid, I now find courage and strength. Where
I've been in bondage, I am freed by the power of spirit in me.
Where I have been dead, I am reborn. Where I have been in darkness,
light floods upon my awareness, touching everything within me with
its healing power.
Nothing is too difficult for Spirit in me to heal, and I accept
total healing this day. Nothing is gone so wrong that Spirit cannot
make it right. I open my awareness and become accessible to this
renewing power of Life, letting it make all things new in me, this
day and every day. And so it is.

All decisions can be traced from the realm of God or the realm

all abundance. And it is God. Everywhere I look, if I open
my eyes, I see the infinite, lavish abundance of Spirit. It
is all around me, burgeoning with an extravagance that shows
me the truth. I look at the grass, and see an abundance of
blades of green in every possible shade. I see the variety
and creativity of nature and realize that it is relentless
in Its pursuit of creating something new. And this very process
which I see in action all around me is happening in me.
The Universe merely looks for an outlet for its infinite creativity.
It finds that outlet in me today. My mind is fertile ground
for wild, bold ideas that produce wonderful results. My heart
is home to beliefs and attitudes that reveal joy and respect
for all people. And my life is a place where the abundant nature
of Spirit shows up and shows up en masse!
I open my life this day to realize that all the good I seek
is already around me. I open my consciousness this day to receive
what has already been given. And I give thanks for the giving,
loving, supportive nature of this universe, which cannot and
will not ever let me down. And so it is.

- Change is Flow
All experiences of time and space are essentially creatures of surface
consciousness studying the facets of the deeper Self. Without changes
in our environment, in our mentality, in our perceptibility we would
not be able to meet the Self which directs all of these outward changes.
The one that is always the same; the nameless and formless existence
behind the flow of all our experiences. Through change, by distinctions
of space and circumstances out of the ordinary we begin to notice that
which never changes. We become aware of the eternal Self that is without
personality.
The consciousness of Self, as it is timeless, is also capable of freely
regarding Change as a thing reflected in it and as either the cause
or the subjective field of the changing experience. It is the eternal "I
AM" the unchanging consciousness on whose surface mind is constantly
adding to its experience or rejecting from its experience, and by every
addition life is modified and by every rejection also it is modified;
although that deeper Self which supports and contains these mutations
remains unmodified.
For today, express gratitude for every change that occurs. Let this
dance of existence be the place where you more vividly see the Trueness
of that which comes to continually regard you as Eternal.
In Peace,
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
There is but One inner movement in our subjective field of changing
experiences. It perceives the pureness of its Divine Nature through
the language of its changing self- experience. Being a reflection of
this Existence, I embrace the many blessings "change" brings
forth in my life.
I realize I am pure conscious existence putting on the character of
(your name) and whose surface changes of conscious experiences can
never affect the deeper Self which supports and contains these mutations
of time. I am an eternal flame that knows itself at this moment as
(your given name). I AM more than the sum total of her circumstances
experienced in time and space. I AM the one consciousness directly
inhabiting and governing the environing body of her subjective phenomenon.
Allowing the cosmic movement of change is honoring the antecedent state
of First Cause. In recognizing that my inner being is always in some
state of movement or wave of conscious being I can relax into all change.
This impulse, or inner life-reaction, is sensed by each thought and
emotion I radiate, therefore I commit to becoming fully aware of all
I think and feel. It is under these conditions I can capture the Something
that is behind the succession of events in my life - supporting it,
containing it, and being all its changing forms.
I am awed to know, to know, I am an arrangement of the One conscious
force living as a willed personality illumined from within. I open
and live the graciousness of this knowledge. I am thankful for such
a precious gift of Spirit. And so it is. Amen.

- Allow Creation
When I encourage students to let go of their will as a means
of efficiency in their lives, we are drawing from the ancient
wisdom expressed in many spiritual traditions. At first, as
the students applies trust, they move from a focus or intention
of making things happen to simply allowing them to happen.
Often they experience nervousness or even fear from this exercise
but that is because most of us have been program to believe
that if we don't do anything to make what we want happen, then
nothing will be done and it won't happen. With patience, however,
I reflect with them on the staggering intelligence, creativity,
resourcefulness, and efficiency of the Universe to demonstrate
that this is actually the only path to wisdom. If Infinite
Intelligence can arrange strong forces, fine structure constants,
breathable atmospheres and sentient being to breathe it, plus
countless other remarkable efficiencies-- and can do it all
at once, everywhere, naturally, with no sign of effort -- then
why should we have trouble believing that it can arrange the
perfect job, partner, guidance, or supply?
Of course, the most important thing to bring to conscious or
deliberate creating is willingness. And willingness requires
that we at the very least suspend all conclusions against what
we want, and start believing, as Florence Shovel Shinn says,
that "nothing is too good to be true." All around
us, Life is fulfilling Itself; this seems to be Its job. To
experience this personally, all we need do is open to the experience,
imaginably, of already having received. Why not apply this
principle over the weekend by taking on the feeling of whatever
wish you have claimed, then refuse to take seriously anything
that contradicts it? Remember, you do nothing to make anything
happen; simply by claiming it as your divine inheritance you
will have the stars ignite and the hands of heaven creating
the means to an end for you. Be amazed by your own handiwork!
In Peace,
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
Spirit always has the answer, whatever the question. Because
Spirit, the One source of all life, is wisdom itself. Whether
I call it God, the Beloved, Sophia, or even 'it', it is Infinite
Intelligence and understanding, and it is this in action. The
action of intelligence is at work in me and in my life; the
power of understanding is at work in my heart.
I accept that the love spirit has for its creation is always
with me, that the support of spirit flows freely to me, within
me, and from me. I participate in life by living creatively,
joyfully, thankfully, and in awe at the beauty, richness, and
wonder all around me. I give thanks continually for the good
in my life, for the loving friendships, the many material blessings,
the wonderful work I am blessed to do, for the beauty and strength
of my body, and for the amazing goodness that is everywhere
to be found on our shared planet.
I know that what I contemplate, I become. So I spend plenty
of time each day allowing the beautiful, the powerful, and
the joyful things in life. The results are clear, and for them,
I am thankful. And so it is.

8. To "Revel in" and "Reveal" GOD AS YOU!
TREATMENT:
Infinite Spirit, Presence of Life, Power of Love. This is what
the entire Universe is made of. And because it is infinite,
I am one with it. The spirit, presence, and power of love of
God is within me, ready to be unleashed. The Universe works
by means of a perfect law, which creates for me the life experience
which I can believe and accept. So this day, I accept for myself
and for all people that there is a greater experience available
for humankind.
I'm no longer willing to live in a world where there is injustice,
hatred, or violence. There is no absolute truth to these experiences.
Although the experiences may be very real, they are merely
the absence of light. I call upon the presence and power of
spirit in me and in all to reveal its light, so that it shines
brightly and without end. Every dark corner of my mind and
heart is now illuminated by this light. Every shadowy place
in the human collective consciousness is now illuminated by
this light, embraced by it, and healed by it.
This light is simply the light of truth dawning, being revealed
in the hearts and minds of all people. Nothing less will suffice.
The creating, maintaining, sustaining power of the Universe
now springs into action, accomplishing whatever needs to be
done to reveal a new order of being, a new way of living, a
world filled with loving. I participate in this in ways both
large and small; in my own life, I love fully, forgive freely,
and create a home for peace in my heart. In the bigger Life,
I stand for this truth, knowing that it is a part of all humankind,
and that it is revealed this very day. For this I give thanks,
beloved Great Infinite Spirit of Love and Law. May the blessings
of Spirit be made manifest everywhere in creation! And so it
is.

- Live From Peace
"You exist that Divine feeling, fire,
imagination and creativity may be expressed through you. The Spirit
comes to you with a new and fresh creativity. You need not ask what
others have done or how they have done it. Be yourself and express
life as you find it. Never imitate. Trust the self. Find the self in
God and God in the self." Ernest Holmes
TREATMENT:
I am at peace and live from the awareness of Infinite Presence that
is grounded at the core of my being. It does not take long to remember
the power and love of this life force. Consciously I open and become
the wisdom and intelligence and memory of this continuous stream of
Spirit. I feel its upward push expressing through me as the continuity
of my life.
I know the secret Soul that supports and holds together my self-experience
and world experience. I have felt the Divine spark that is mySelf and
my Nature as a whole, in the depths as well as on the surface. With
a greater dynamism, a larger finer receptivity I focus on this life
energy and feel it growing-- filling my Being. From this vaster existence
I can meet any challenge. There is not one event or circumstance that
is not calmed by the touch of heavenly peace moving through me. I provide
the means for God to see Itself as a life of peace, a life of happiness,
and a life of love seizing an earthly life.
The significance of my life and its activities accompanies me eternally
as memories of peaceful delight. I let go with love and thankfully
know this is so. Amen.

- Standing Silent
In memorial to my dear, sweet, father-in-law
Arthur Peregoff the Morning Blessings shall stand silent. He walked
through the veil early Monday morning, and the family will take
today to honor and remember his Loving Presence in this Life.
Where he is, I know God is, and I know he is joyfully celebrating
his return home.
