07.07.03 - Angelic Practioners
I would like to take a moment to fill this page with gratitude for
two women who will be sitting for their Practitioner's license this
coming Saturday. Pamela Best and Cynthia Shelton have studied and
applied themselves for three long years and now feel ready to serve
their fellow man in one more capacity, through the power of the
spoken word. Their hearts have led them to commit to uplifting each
Soul they meet in Light. There is an opening in their souls that
hungers to be that clear place where God's sacred radiance is released
into the world. They have each sensed that inner pulsation to reveal
more of the nature of God through the consciousness they bring to
their daily activities. They desire to more powerfully be a beneficial
presence that distributes light in darkness. Thomas Troward said,
"Man is the dispenser of the divine goods." That, to me,
is exactly what a Religious Science Practitioner is committed to
doing.
What feeds and motivates these women, and all Practitioners, are
not the words used to instill correctness or attempts to standardize
behavior, for they reinforce the human sense of self. They qualify,
divide, and do not inspire our essential nature. A Science of Mind
Practitioner flourishes in sacred union, in stillness, connected
to the presence of the activity of God--learning, unfolding, letting
the Divine take the lead, moment to moment, through openness and
receptivity of the infinite invisible. They feed the sacred recesses
of the soul that creates an opening for us to anchor heaven on earth--not
by judging or categorizing humanness, but by truly recognizing God's
order, God's guidance.
The energy behind all practitioners actions clearly must be in the
spirit of God. Human mind sometimes prays or meditates, then operates
humanly, attributing it to God. Pam and Cynthia as Practitioners
know that until we feel that inner release, until we see as God
sees, free of attachment; until God heartfully moves us from within,
human elements will always attempt to define and regiment that which
is beyond words or thought.
I know many will richly benefit because Pam and Cynthia have consciously
transcended the barriers of human conditioning. I am so grateful
to have witnessed these two luminescent beings drop layer after
layer of the inner veils that curtained separation and powerlessness.
What a delight to wish them "good journeys" as they travel
out into the world as dispensers of divine goods into the human
experience.
Please join me in congratulating these radiant servants of light,
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
In the beginning there was only one Source. One life. That life
was God's life and that Life was Love. An all giving Presence that
forever contemplates Itself within endless love. This Infinite All
is the pure essence of Love and we, the manifestation of that Source,
reflect this true nature of being.
Cynthia and Pam, you have opened the inner door to receive this
Love, letting it fill your consciousness and eliminate the error
of past patterns just as light dissolves darkness. You know that
the activity of Spirit is love's Self-expression and you share this
with everyone you meet. You each have touched hearts in ways that
you may never realize. The consciousness of Life that you bring
and this sacred commitment to be love, peace, joy, givingness, and
graciousness as prayerful beings transforms the living Universe.
We are graced by the illumination of your light that shines ever
so brightly and are grateful for it. You are the gift now... go
forth and share the heartfelt passion that rises from the depths
of your immortal being. And so it shall be forevermore. Amen.

- Eternal Abundance
Refuse
to tolerate anything less than the harmony of abundance. You can
have prosperity no matter what your present circumstances may be.
Man has dominion over all things when he knows the Law of Being,
and obeys it. The Law gives you power to attain prosperity and position
without infringing the rights and opportunities of anyone else in
the world.
- Emmet Fox, "Alter Your Life"
TREATMENT:
The Presence of God's life surrounds my world and envelopes
it with the abundance of Its Spirit. This Divine substance moves
and abides within as well. It stands ready today to manifest Its
bountiful blessings in a co-creative expression as all I need or
wish.
Everywhere I look I see evidence of this Truth. In my heart, I feel
it and know it is so. I turn my attention from every "cannot"
in my life since the Law of cause and effect is no respector or
person, place, or thing. It only knows to deliver the contemplations
of my mental universe. I consciously discharge all thoughts that
serve to irritate or upset the delivery of my eternal goodness.
I rise in consciousness and take my rightful place in this divine
partnership. I turn my attention to those areas of life where I
witness great supply. I am empowered and sustained by energy that
expands and multiplies, therefore this principle of Divine Abundance
flows forth, through me as energetic frequencies, shifting and transforming
my outer world of reality. From this bridge of transition I take
a moment to honor all in life that have, and continue, to assist
me in this shifting protocol. I am a functioning, creative being
with infinite resources to manifest every desire of my heart.
Breathe... I feel grace and thanksgiving entering my being. Breathe,
and feel this truth. Being wrapped in the immense blue light of
grace I can feel the beautiful frequencies of abundance and thanksgiving
pulsing and texturing the atmosphere. They enter my form and become
a healing palette for this next level of realization. As I witness
where they go inside me I know I embody full conscious realization
of crossing from spirit into matter, and then back again from matter
into spirit. I am the unified heart of creation, and so it is, and
so I let it be. Amen.

- Insensibility of Matter
AFFIRM:
I AM the creatrix of a Godhead seed uniquely sprouted to reveal
and blossom into Eternal Intelligence in form. I AM the spiritual
evolution of an instinctual existence developing Self-formation
till the form can reflect its indwelling Spirit. I AM the joyous
passage of God blessed Spirit using the mind, will, and life of
( insert your name) as Its domain. Praising this realization, I
live it, and let it be so. Amen.

- Harmony & Balance
If you
see yourself as a spiritual being but do not respect other aspects
of your nature, imbalance will show up in your life.
The universe is constantly expanding and contracting, and there
will always be events and experiences that you don't want to participate
in ...you have the ability to give your attention to consciously
directing your thoughts towards the places, events, and circumstances
that feel pleasing. As a fluid Spiritual being you are responsible
for the fullness of who you are at any given moment. You create
the atmosphere that flows through you from day to day. If you cannot
"champion" each day perhaps you deserve to allow good
thoughts about your well-being to infuse your environment.
You have to accept responsibility for everything that is interacting
with you. On the days IT doesn't feel good you have to find the
balance. It's always waiting for you. This is really, really important.
The person that needs to do something about it is always going to
be you. Get out into the sunlight, out where everything is, with
a vibration that is so balanced that those who annoy you, those
situations that make life feel uncomfortable don't come into your
experience, because your vibration, through a practice such as this
will become so clear, so pure, so clean, so in keeping with what
you want, that the world that revolves around you will feel just
like that. That's how you kick butt with balance. It is one of the
tasks we all came here to learn.
In Peace,
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
There is One life ~ One force of creation that penetrates and
envelops the physical plane with Its invisible presence and influences.
One power which seems to be the material world itself. This secret
consciousness behind all action is God's life, and this life is
my life now. I am its purely objective character, a pressure of
ideas, suggestions, emotional formation. An impulsion to sensation
of this dynamic siege of Universal Mind.
I dedicate this day with clear intention to touch, and be touched
by the twin energies of balance and harmony. The transcendent power
of these unified qualities dissolves all conflict within my heart
and mind. I am awashed in stillness and wholly present to a spiritual
intelligence that is imbued with calmness. Love proceeds me wherever
I go this day, and the living spirit of grace pours forth restoring
my surroundings, my relationships, my body, my intellect, and my
emotional wounds with all manner of its sensory stimuli. In this
heightened state of awareness, it is safe to open my heart and live
peacefully in the spaciousness of Life. There is no effort here,
for what I know, what I know is that my life is now easy. Because
I have invoked a tonal quality of peace and ease, I can detach from
all outcomes, and live in the truth that all my service, labor,
play, and community activity is a balanced serene influx of the
sensuousness of Spirit. I am a center of grace and spiritual light
that passes beyond language and comprehension to the intelligence
of every heart I meet this day.
From the tenderness of my heart I exercise these thoughts over and
over and over until all that is unlike their challenging vibration
is dissolved from my life. I let universal mind, the wise one of
the law, take up these words and power them into creation. I am
a freshness, a love, and an acceptance of its wielding force. And
so it is.

- Spiritual Stretchercises
The human
spirit, once stretched to a new consciousness, never goes back to
its original dimension. Summertime is upon us. The attitude is play.
The focus is on relaxation and pleasure. So in keeping with this
theme, our Friday blessings will be ideas, suggestions, and challenges
that will facilitate expansion with easy-to-do activities that may
take you out of your comfort zone and off autopilot. Leaving your
spiritual comfort zone forces your brain to make new connections
and start the flow of neurons, making you more alive. Doing some
spiritual things differently exposes you to a whole new world of
potential and possibility. Choose one of these Strecth~ercises and
do it each day over the next week. Or make up your own. You will
grow in your ability and willingness to think and act uncommonly,
which is truthfully what each one of us is -- UNCOMMON. A unique,
one-of-a-kind expression of God that is seeking one's own emergence
into Self-realization. Participate this week in fun expansion. Realize
that each time you do one of these crazy little exercises you are
rising in evolution. Pretty cool, don't ya think?
Here's to creating more electrical charges and magnetism for Soul,
Rev. Angie
1. Use colored pens or pencils for your note taking,
and colored paper and paper clips, if possible.
2. Fast from the news, TV, music, radio, newspaper
or reading for one day.
3. Come up with uncommon answers to "How Come"
questions like why its raining, why god gave ducks orange feet,
etc.
4. Focus on your breathing for a minute or two.
Start over if you lose track.
5. Sleep in a new position. Note what happens when
you wake up in the middle of the night to tinkle.
6. Use your non-dominant hand to dial the phone,
unlock the car, open doors, turn on lights, etc.
7. Talk a walk or run where you smile and greet
each passerby.
8. Practice telling what you like about an idea
before expressing any concerns you might have.
9. Carry on an imaginary conversation between a
bee & flower, a racket & ball, your pet & its favorite
toy.
10. Sit in a new place at meals, meetings, or worship
services.
11. Eliminate the words "probably not"
and "should do" from your experiences for one day.
12. Enlighten yourself all over the place by handing
out a spiritual insight to everyone you interact with today.
13. Imagine you have the authority to absolutely
control the world around you. What would you change? Make at least
one of
those changes.
14. Transition from ego service to soul service
for one afternoon. Serve others from your heart space. Pretend you
are
professional angel masquerading as a human.
15. Empower the spiritual journey of another person.
TREATMENT:
There is only one Spirit, and it has all the answers. It is
the infinite source of all intelligence, the unending ocean of profound
love that infuses all form with its own nature. And my own being
is Spirit, taken form... taken birth as me. I am infused with the
power, the love, the creativity, and the opulence of Spirit. All
that I am partakes of this greater nature that is always within
me, no matter what I may experience in the world.
I know that while I like life comfortable and easy, I also crave
the challenge of inner expansion. The thrill of remembering and
feeling the Truth that is my true nature is why I came on this journey.
I am and always will be absolutely unlimited, and I will do all
I can to awaken to this level of my being today, bringing that unlimited
thinking and unlimited loving into all that I do. And I flourish!
And so it is.

- You Have Dominion
From
Living the Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes, page 169
"With an understanding of this science fear should disappear.
And with direct application of this Principle to your problems you
will discover that they will begin to seem less insistent.
Begin to act as though you already had Dominion over evil, as though
all fear were a phantom, and as though everything you have been
afraid of was unreal. Declare the Truth by saying there is nothing
to be afraid of; that you no longer entertain any images of fear;
that Good is the only Power there is; that this Good which is the
only Power there is, is now operating in your affairs.
Know that Good is Omnipotent. Know that the Truth instantly, effectively,
and permanently destroys every fear and every effect of fear. Know
that you are governed by Infinite Intelligence. Know that you are
directed by Divine Guidance, and that you are compelled to think
and act constructively. Therefore you may know that everything you
do, say or think carries with it a Divine authority.
Freedom already exists, but your freedom is in your own thought.
Hence, it is not enough to say, "God is free," which,
of course, is a true statement; but this statement must be made
personal: "The Freedom of God is my freedom, the Power of God
is my power, the Presence of God is in me. The Mind of God is my
mind, the Strength of God is my strength, and the Joy of God is
my joy."
TREATMENT:
I know that the answer to whatever it is that I seek is always
within me. There is an Infinite Intelligence that knows what to
do and how to do it in me, and all I need do is open up to this
intelligence to be free from limitations of any kind.
I choose today to live my life in such a way that I am freed from
restriction, from suffering, and from disappointment; I see the
world as it truly is and revel in its beauty, grace and power. I
look for these things in the world, and in so doing, I generate
them within my own self, for whatever I contemplate, I become.
I am always guided by this Infinite Divine Intelligence, and I let
it work through me and as me every step of the way. Whatever's bound
me in the past is no longer; it's just a memory. The truth is, the
absolute, eternal, spiritual truth about me is that I am free, I
have always been free, and always will be free. I give thanks for
the infinite freedom that Spirit has blessed me with, and I use
it for good in every corner of my life and every part of this joyous
and wonderful world. And so it is.

- Healed from the Past
"IT
IS WHEN POWER IS WEDDED TO CHRONIC FEAR THAT IT BECOMES FORMIDABLE."
- Eric Hoffer
You are so much more than you think you are dear friends. As a fragment
of All That Is, you already contain within yourself the very essence
that you search for so earnestly outside of the Self. Even within
the compressed, limited form seen reflected in the bathroom mirror,
you are still complete. Though that image is abbreviated. You might
call what you see in that mirror a "scale model" of the
multiverse compacted in the physical plane. Half of your unfoldment
is the remembrance that all the pieces of the puzzle that is your
human self are the form of Divinity in physical space and time.
There is not one, not one experience that has not served you. Often
you might feel as though someone did you wrong, that the world is
against you. We have all appeared to be the victim from life's chaotic
jumble at some time or another. It is the truth when I tell you
though that to stay in this mindset will only perpetuate more of
the same.
I support each and every one of you in becoming the grounded and
awakened You that has the ability to heal all past hurts. Take the
time to examine these events and experiences and find how they came
along to empower you life. Use them to expand and energize your
here and now and make it all come together into one congruous whole.
Let your focus be upon allowing, gracefully honoring yourself, safely,
harmoniously, and easily. Remember your soul knew you would be the
perfect being to inhabit this life and ride it to its destined end.
We are pregnant with possibility at every moment, and each new day
you face the prospect of giving birth to fascinating new parts of
yourself. Do you wish to leap in and enjoy some lonely thoughts
or taste some good old disdain for past experiences? All in the
name of staying unhappy? It's your choice. It's your reflection.
It's all you. The world is your oyster and the awakened, aware Self
is your pearl.
In Oneness, there is no such thing as "out."
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything
is made of one hidden stuff (Ralph Waldo Emerson). I am God's hidden
greatness shrouded in human consciousness. The reality of all her
powers are present right where I AM. God's universal mind is responsive
to my mental states, intentions, expectations, and receptivity.
There is not one concern about past faulty actions or mistakes I
have made because God was an active participating force in it all.
I release any guilt, pain, or emotional trauma associated with past
experiences. I acknowledge and accept healing as I declare the truth
that all is forever done in Divine Right action and for my highest
good always. Because God is the only power, I never needed or will
need to be protected from bad influences. Because God is omnipresent,
I stand in the truth that there is nothing that is not God. And
because God is omniscient, all knowledge that is in God, resides
within me as well. I look forward to what is possible to accomplish
as an immortal spiritual being eliciting creative courses of action
that awaken me to full God consciousness. I live purposefully, with
no regrets, to expand and develop my innate spiritual qualities:
peace, creativity, and intuition. Soul peace bathes me in inner
contentment. Creative abilities empower me to skillfully accomplish
every purpose. Intuition enables me to discern the truth of all
I think and observe. With these qualities forefront in my mind I
rise above my ordinary states of awareness and refuse to be confined
by past erroneous beliefs and conditioned modes of behavior.
Fulfilled in this noble, honorable pursuit I thankfully become transformed
in God. I am driven by a Divine Will that seeks its highest realization.
And so it is. Amen.

- Truth of Beingness
AFFIRM:
I rewaken to the truth of my beingness. In this reawakening, and
in the knowledge of truth I know how best to serve all my beingness,
which is, in its potentiality, eternal. I open my heart to myself
and know that all healing comes from within me. I open my heart
and know that the return to wholeness is my choice. And so it is
now.

- All Things Resolve
"All things do resolve themselves, if allowed. All things do.
ALL things resolve themselves - if allowed."
- Abraham
We say, "Some things resolve themselves," and we believe
it. Abraham assures us that all things resolve themselves, and we
don't really believe that. We want to, but how many of us have personal
proof about it? Most everyone possesses the belief that says, "I
really don't accept that all things can resolve themselves without
my help." And so that is exactly the vibration that gets activated
in our lives. And when that energy gets activated all kinds of people
start showing up in your life with unresolved things, as well as
in your own life.
Doesn't sound like much fun does it? For today, I am going to ask
you just to allow yourself to receive what the Universe is offering.
Pick one thing, one area, in your life in particular that needs
resolution and move into the mental space that every bit of allowing
is going to bring your greater and greater results. I am going to
pick resolution within my physicality. Each night I am going to
lie in bed and talk to the cells of my body, and I am going to expect
recovery, regeneration, revitalization, and REALLY feel the sensation
of it. I am going to put myself in as much comfort as I can, as
often as I can, for the next week while this new energy aligns.
An energy that knows, from my talking to my cells, that they are
summoning and receiving a natural Source energy. I can know that
I will be answered because I believe in the Law of Attraction. I
am knowing that as I allow...the receiving is naturally happening.
It cannot, not!
In this attitude of, "Let me see physical progress," my
body will be back in alignment with anything that opposes health
being resolved within a short time. So many people are convinced
that their physical bodies are in a compromised state. A state of
unhealth, of steady decline (aging), of dis-ease. And it all is
absolutely opposite of what our cells know how to do naturally,
and of what Source energy is supplying. It is only our negative
expectation, or worrying, that keeps resolve at arm's length just
beyond our reach. The truth is we only decline because we disallow
more of the resources that keep us feeling good. That's all, every
single time.
For me, I see all ailments resolved. What's it going to be for you
this week?
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
The pure Presence of Life has taken form as all creation! The
nature of all things is sacred and whole, and this includes me.
My nature is sacred and whole, both in the abstract and in form.
I recognize this day that my body is a perfect reflection of the
wholeness of life, and that I live within a form of Spirit that
is so incredibly intelligent, that it knows how to rebuild itself
every day.
My body is inherently intelligent, and it knows how to resource
all it needs. I talk to my body, instilling wisdom into actions
that support its health, its strength, and its beauty. The wisdom
of Spirit takes up all my choices and I immediately see progress
in activities and behaviors that support my body's wholeness. I
discover all negative conditioning or decline is halted. I hold
the attitude that whatever brings more life, more vibrant health,
and more joy into expression in my body is good, and desirable!
I give thanks for this natural inner tendency towards supporting
my natural wholeness.
I also know that anything that is out of balance in my body is being
completely resolved and healed right now. I declare my nature as
balance, grace, health, and strength. I listen intently to what
my body is telling my about what I need in terms of food, activity,
and rest, and joyfully follow this inner wisdom. these kinds of
choices naturally reveal my whole and pure nature. For this I give
thanks. And so it is.

- Stretchercises
The human
spirit, once stretched to a new consciousness, never goes back to
its original dimension.
I tell students all the time that they've got to ask for what they
want. And I find that most people only have one problem with this
directive... They don't KNOW what they want! You can't ask for what
you want unless you know what it is!
In this week's stretchercise, I'm going to start you on a wonderful
path of painting your dreams into reality. I'm going to teach you
the secrets behind setting - and achieving - your greatest ambitions.
Before you set off on this path, let me make one thing very clear:
The word "goals" can be intimidating - it can feel so
overbearing that it keeps people from even beginning the process.
So, let's instead think of goals as a "To Do List With Deadlines."
Do the deadlines have to be tomorrow? Next week? Of course not.
This is your To Do List for the rest of your life. Goals can be
added to, subtracted from and - most importantly - scratched off
the list - as you move through your life.
Go For the Gusto Stretchercise - 99 Goals!
It's time to get started on your master plan. Give yourself some
quiet time, put on some relaxing music... and write down 99 goals.
Why 99? Because the ability to make choices with ease comes as a
result of how many neuro-pathways have been created in the brain.
The fastest way to create new neuro-pathways is to force choices.
Normally, when faced with a decision, we stop after only ten or
twelve options, thinking there are no more. With this very different
stretchercise you will find that you've probably run out of goals
around the fourteen or fifteen mark. That is when you really must
push. KEEP GOING! With each new goal you push out, you are creating
a fantastic new network in your brain. Open your mind to ALL the
possibilities. Start each goal with "I am" or "I
will." Don't even THINK about restricting yourself! To help
you with this process, here are some key questions to ask yourself:
What do I want to do?
What do I want to have?
Where do I want to go?
What contribution do I want to make?
What do I want to learn?
Who do I want to meet and spend my time with?
How much do I want to earn, save and invest?
What will I do for fun and optimum health?
This process may take two hours. It may take two weeks. Don't stop
until you have 99 goals. Remember, you're building your better life
here - it's the only life you have. Here's a checklist to ensure
you're using a successful framework to set your To Do List:
Your most important goals must be yours. Not your spouse's. Not
your child's. Not your employer's. Yours. When you let other people
determine your definition of success, you're sabotaging your own
future.
Your goals must mean something to you. When you write your goals,
you must ask yourself, "What's really important to me?"
"What am I prepared to give up to make this happen?" Your
reasons for charting a new course of action give you the drive and
energy to get up every morning.
Your goals must be specific and measurable.
Vague generalizations and wishy-washy statements aren't good enough.
Be very specific!
Your goals must be flexible. A flexible plan keeps you from feeling
suffocated and allows you to take advantage of genuine opportunities
that walk in your future door.
Your goals must be challenging, exciting. Force yourself to jump
out of your comfort zone to acquire that energy and edge.
Your goals must be in alignment with your values. Pay attention
to your intuition, your gut. When you set a goal that contradicts
your values, something inside will twinge. Pay attention.
Your goals must be well-balanced. Make sure you include areas that
allow time to relax, have fun and enjoy people in your closest circle.
Your goals must be realistic. Be expansive but don't be ridiculous.
If you're four feet tall, you will probably never play in the NBA.
Also, be sure to allow yourself time to get there.
Your goals must include contribution. Unfortunately, many people
get so wrapped up in pursuing their goals that they don't have time
in their lives to give something back to society. Build this into
your goals program.
Your goals need to be supported. Either selectivity share a few
of your dreams with a number of people, or share all of your dreams
with a select few people. In either case, you're creating a web
of support and accountability for yourself.
TREATMENT:
The source of Life is a perfect, pure, unlimited source of Good,
from which all things arise. Just as a wave on the ocean is made
from the sea, I am formed of pure spirit. I draw from Spirit all
that I need to live...not to merely exist, but to live and live
well. I do this by means of natural spiritual laws that create my
experience based on what I believe. Today, I believe at depth that
anything is possible. I return to a state of knowing that all things
can be accomplished with the power of Spirit. Whatever is needed
in my life today, be it something tangible, emotional or physical
healing, or a new outlook on life, I believe that the power of Spirit
can provide it in perfection and balance today. Not only do I believe
it, I know that it is happening now. I don't have to know how this
happens. Not at all. I simply must believe...and must know...that
it is happening in me and in my life now. This kind of knowing causes
changes that are amazing! Spirit goes to work immediately, by means
of natural laws, to create perfection, balance, and all that I need.
I know that this is simply the way things work. Knowing this, I
use these wonderful laws by moving my belief more and more to the
side of wholeness. I give thanks to the beloved Spirit for its infinite
care and precise action in my life today. And so it is.

- Take the Time
If there
is physical, mental, or financial darkness, be assured the presence
of God dispels it.
- Joel S. Goldsmith, Consciousness Transformed
Our training to depend on the five senses and intellectual faculties
has diminished the perception of our True nature. The walls of intellect
within our mind can serve to mislead us, keep us in bondage, and
perpetuate the same messages we have tried so hard to out-grow.
I am often reminded that it takes real dedication to spiritual practice
to have an actual experience of God. thinking of yourself as Light
is not the same as setting some time aside to BE the light. Meeting
your authentic Self takes being still until something within indicates
that God is present. It is not an intellectual perception but an
actual feeling of the presence of God. And it takes learning to
open ourselves up to God without desiring that a wish or chore of
ours be done. It takes a real communing in the depth of stillness,
with the intention that God's will and God's grace be performed
through us, seeking only further realization of the Presence. Then
we shall sense God as an extension of man. As Thomas Troward indicated,
the more we yield to that heartfelt impartation of the presence
of Go, the more we can be in restful enthusiasm... and the more
pure joy we can realize in the play of energy and light of human
experience.
This week... today... take the time to allow the radiant light of
God dispel that which blocks your view of the expanded reality,
of who and what you really are.
When light is exceptionally radiant, there is only Oneness.
In Peace,
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
To know we have always dissolved back into a Oneness is an encircling
truth that warms the heart of the Soul. To know that the extension
of God that I AM lives its cosmic truth as a sovereign security
within the operations of my daily activities is a blessing. I am,
therefore, the first principle and the universal condition of divine
love in my world.
I cannot be diminished by anyone or anything. I am Infinite Reality
bound in form, inseparable and indivisible from the eternal bliss
of its primal works. In consciousness, I claim the panorama of this
hidden Godhead. Doubt and confusion cannot touch me. I am firmly
rooted in the belief that as God's emissary here I possess the Self-Knower
power of creator consciousness. My body responds with visible, radiant,
perfect health. My mind responds with developments of joyful, creative,
and productive experiences. And my mystic wanton Soul soars among
the stars scattering the seed of her/his new found power.
Being in and of the Infinite Creative Consciousness I utilize the
hidden secret of its structure and dissolve any beliefs that I am
different in genius, species or essence from my Source. Because
of this Truth, I know my personalized life is a holy dwelling place
and the scene of spirit's emergence. I am grateful this is so now
and forever. And so it is. Amen.

- My Nature is Health
Because
I am the one who knows the most about my body, it is easy for me
to heal or change it.
"...it is the thoughts and attitudes you have about yourself,
about food, and about your body that cause imbalance and disease.
Only by changing your thoughts and your attitudes about your yourself,
your food, and about your body will you free yourself from the tyranny
of endless worrying." - Sondra Ray
TREATMENT:
The pure presence of Life has taken form as all creation! The
nature of all things is sacred and whole, and this includes me.
My nature is sacred and whole, both in the abstract and in form.
I recognize this day that my body is a perfect reflection of the
wholeness of life, and that I live within a form of Spirit that
is so incredibly intelligent, that it knows how to rebuild itself
every day.
My body is inherently intelligent, and it knows what it needs. I
learn how to listen to my body, distilling its wisdom into actions
that support its health, its strength, and its beauty. The wisdom
of Spirit informs all my choices, so I naturally choose the activities
and behaviors that support my body's wholeness. I discover that
this isn't deprivation or difficult. I always hold the attitude
that whatever brings more life, more vibrant health, and more joy
into expression in my body is good, and desirable! I give thanks
for this natural inner tendency towards supporting my natural wholeness.
I also know that anything that is out of balance in my body is completely
temporary. My nature is balance, grace, health, and strength. I
listen intently to what my body is telling my about what I need
in terms of food, activity, and rest, and joyfully follow this inner
wisdom. these kinds of choices naturally reveal my whole and pure
nature. For this I give thanks. And so it is.

- Sacred Wisdom
AFFIRM:
I am the cellular awareness of every sacred wisdom ever issued to
Earth.
The Mother Matrix of these encodings quickens the embodiment of
highest wisdom accelerating a most potent manifestation of feminine
divinity.
I am lead onto the street of free will, up and down the path of
personal choice, given a large helping of the sacred with a sprinkling
of the Divine replacing all that is discord within my life structure.
A great excitement draws up in me as I break free of all present
constricts into new potentials of existence. And so it is.

- Enlargement of Consciousness
Loose the Consciousness
From Living the Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes, p. 339
"It is certain that none of us receive as much benefit from
this science as we might. We do not permit our consciousness to
range in the field of greater possibilities.
A certain time should be taken each day for the enlargement of consciousness.
This is done by reminding our imagination that the field with which
it deals is Limitless, that Mind is the Creator and the Sustainer,
that Mind is Infinite, ever available, and always responsive to
us.
There should never be any sense of finality in our self-discovery.
No matter how much good we experience today, we should expect more
tomorrow. Expectancy always speeds progress; anticipation of better
yet to come helps to dissolve the overload of burdens which we now
carry with us.
We must learn to loose our consciousness. Nothing is too good to
be true. The Kingdom of Harmony is already an ever-present Reality,
but as far as we are concerned It waits to be perceived, and only
as much good can come to us as we mentally receive.
We must increase our receptivity, continuously extend and expand
our comprehension. We should declare a hundred times a day:
Good and more Good is mine. An ever-increasing Good is mine. There
is no limit to the Good which is mine. Everywhere I go I see this
Good, I feel It, I experience It. It crowds itself against me, flows
through me, expresses Itself in me, and multiplies Itself around
me."
TREATMENT:
There is One life; that life is God's life and I am an extension
of this expression as woman/man. Everyday, I write a beginning,
an ending, a limitation, and an unleashing power as I participate
in this grand costume party called "Earth Life."
On this day, I write and call forth the perfect freedom to choose
my expression with all the power of my eternal nature flowing through
me to manifest that choice. In accordance with the vibrational harmonies
of my supreme origin I now choose to experience profound support
in every area. There is absolutely no resistance to good unfolding
in my life. All the pages, from this moment onward, in the novel
expression of my being give testimony to the belief that life is
easy. The climax of the story is reached now! I step from behind
the bush of humaness, of lack, of limitation, and of pain. I commit
to embracing the principle truth - you think it and it becomes so.
My epic tale is now embellished with the richness, the beauty, and
the detail of my eternal gracefulness.
I revel in the glory of remembering. I can be anything I choose
to be. I receive the new gifts of goodness that are forthcoming
with enthusiasm and deep gratitude. "Nothing is hard,"
is the effortless blessing of my trust in Self and Spirit. And so
the story ends, and so the experience shall be. Amen.

- Stretchercises
The human
spirit, once stretched to a new consciousness, never goes back to
its original dimension.
Time for a God Walk... and on this God Walk, you leave the critic
at home. The critic is that voice in us that follows us around and
keeps us separate from ourselves. The one that at times takes up
so much of our awareness that we think we are the critic.
You have a whole weekend to play with this exercise of greatness
and I expect each person who receives these blessings to try this
at least once, ok? So when you go on your walk you leave this critic
at home so that as you are out contemplating the good in your life,
you align with the good and sacred intentions of everyone you meet,
everything you encounter, and all that you bear witness to. This
means that even as you observe situations, or encounters that are
confusing, or that you don't like you have to look a little bit
deeper and SEE that there is a good intention at work here. You
must identify with all Souls and the good that they bring. All Souls
in some way, shape, or manner are atempting to get, give, or hold
on to Love! And trying to find some way to be safe in this world.
Trying to find somewhere to express themselves. And as you begin
to look for, and see the good intentions of others, and agree with
those intentions, you will be given an insight that allows you see
that even when individuals are acting at odds with themselves, or
others, they are acting from a space of being afraid, or scared,
or both.
The lesson is that as you begin to go on a God walk, agreeing with
all the good intentions of others, you become a GIGANTIC prayer
field that literally helps individuals become unstuck in their destructive
behaviors! because you are not creating a field of resistance by
inwardly, or externally, criticizing them. You allow them to take
a stand in where they are -- you allow for an open space of freedom
where transformation can take place because YOU on this god walk
are seeing and agreeing with the Good and God Intention of everyone's
soul. The pure desire to Love, and to let Love happen!
This, this is a practice that when applied on a regular basis begins
to shift our consciousness, and we can hear the universe saying,
"All Rise Please," and we literally rise to meet God.
We no longer ask God to shrink and come into our little problems,
instead we step out of the problem and expand and rise in a great
readiness to reveal the great power, presence, and love of God.
And what better way to command your environment than from the point
of reference called... love.
God Walks Rock!
Rev. Angie
TREATMENT:
God is all that there is. More than that, God is present in
every person, every situation, every experience. It is the Source
of all creation, whether I call it pleasing or not, whether I consider
it moral or not - whatever my little opinions - God is there.
I believe that God is the source of all goodness, wherever God is,
there is good to be found. This isn't the optimism of denial. It
is an eternal spiritual truth. ALL things are filled with, immersed
in, and made of Spirit. ALL people, circumstances, and conditions
are made of Spirit. The labels I give those things: good or bad,
right or wrong, are my labels. They are my personal assessments
only. The truth is, God is even in what I abhor. God is in what
I find it difficult to accept. God is in what I label as bad or
wrong. This also means that God is in me, and I am in God.
Rather than living in the world of rightdoing and wrongdoing, I
choose to lift my consciousness to a greater, more inclusive point
of view. Because Spirit has given me free will, I can always choose
something better. In the middle of conditions of difficulty and
suffering, I choose to see things rightly. I choose to see things
as Spirit sees them: perfect manifestations of an unlimited spiritual
reality. The life I experience proceeds from what I pay attention
to. Rather than focusing on what's wrong with the world, I focus
on what's right. I see the possibility, rather than just the past.
I see the potential for creating a new world, with a spiritualized
understanding.
Looking in this way activates the natural spiritual laws of life,
and carries this potential for a newly awakened world from seed
to plant, from plant to blossom, and eventually from blossom to
fruit. I stand firm in this belief. I root my understanding of everything
around me in spiritual principles. Doing so brings healing to the
world by revealing the preexistent wholeness to light.
I give thanks for this ability to clearly and definitely direct
my thinking in ways that bring good to the world. And I do this
every day. And so it is.

- Beautiful Morning
"The
same stream of life that runs through the world runs through my
veins night and day and dances in rhythmic measure. It is the same
life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth into each
blade of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of flowers."
-
Rabindranath Tagore
Welcome to another glorious Monday all my forever beings! Did any
of you notice that all of creation bowed to your awakening today?
Darn, you missed it? Again? As you arose from within the celestial
blanket that soothed you during the night all the earth became excited
because you were back for another day. Can you feel that All of
life is led into a more beautiful expression with your Presence?
Because Life can.
Do you realize you will do great things this week and not even think
anything about it? You will extend kindness, give support exactly
when someone else needs it, share in love with a furry friend, spiritualize
all your ideals, live as a force of harmony, allow more abundance
and expect more good in your life, flow with disappoints, etc. And
as you do all of this for yourself, you do it for the whole universe.
You are a poised creature of God Light with the ability to stand
in the face of contradiction and still remain steadfastly aligned.
Every one of you! And so the Universe unfolds graciously before
each one of you for working in tandem with the Divine.
Oh Yeah, it's Monday and we're ready to live the whole enchilada...
so that others will be inspired to do the same, and will similarly
experience their divinity.
Let's go,
Rev. Angela
TREATMENT:
I delight in the beauty of another day. The Oneness of the universe
is alive within and speaks to me as feeling refreshed, calm, and
orderly. I remain soul-centered and God aware as I pray in God this
morning.
The channels of Light support and nurture the Divine qualities inherent
to the Soul known as _(your name)__. He/she is a spiritual being,
a flawless, individualized expression of God. All that is included
in God's wholeness is available to __(your name)_ and he/she chooses
to perceive this essence, acknowledge It, and accept its purposeful
energy. (your name) is grace expressing from within. He/she is witnessed
as enlivening and energizing, clarifying everyone's mind with awareness,
nurturing the spirit of everyone as he/she unveils their innate
Divine qualities. His/her whole essence abides in this field of
Infinite consciousness as he/she harmoniously arranges circumstances,
events, and relationships. Thus the outward physical manifestation
is a clear, unwavering, Soul-inspired life!
I remain ever thankful to once again gift myself the time to recognize
and claim this treatment. With love and gentle intention it is received
back into the Mind from which it came - growing, evolving as a unit
of consciousness responsive to physical manifestation. And so it
is.

- God Needs Us
Ok guys, God needs us today because life is a co-creative process.
Don't you want to feel that magical Presence of God within us
today? Yeah, me too! Only it can't be revealed unless we consciously
awaken to it. You have to think of yourself as a Divine conduit
of Spirit. It is absolutely essential to understand that we are
clear, unimpeded instruments, of God-love that can only do for
us in direct proportion to what it can do through us! If we are
the wire and God is the ever-present current of
divine energy, we must allow the current to flow. If we blow
a fuse and short-circuit the wire, we temporarily cut ourselves
off from our source. When you are cut off you live under conditions
where darkness and ignorance prevails; therefore, anything that
obstructs our natural luminescence impedes our awareness of joy,
peace, abundance, clarity, wholeness, and love. Do not let anything
hinder, alter or affect your divine universal current my friends!
You have the opportunity to be either an instrument through which
God expresses (or an obstacle to that expression). Mother Teresa
was a remarkable example of one who chose to be a divine instrument.
She said, "I am like a pencil in God's hand, writing a love
letter to the world." To be an instrument of God is to remove
the rheostat from your life and embrace the tremendous surge
of this divine current.
Whoo-hoooooooooo, let's let the light shine through as me and
you!
Rev. Angela
TREATMENT:
Infinite Intelligence pervades every particle of the universe,
for it is infinite intelligence that made the universe, out of
itself, by becoming it. At every point, infinite wisdom is present.
In every moment of time, the unlimited Infinite is at work. I
am part of this intelligent, powerful, creative system, being
made of and from it. This creative
system is perfection itself - containing within it the know-how
and the power to create perfection out of perfection.
This intelligence that created everything - from the largest
galaxy to the smallest particle - created me and my body. This
intelligence is present in me at every level. It flows through
my mind and my bloodstream at once and as one. It is to be found
in my ideas an inspirations, and in my very bones.
Because this
universe does nothing but create,
and it is always creating from a energy current of perfection,
I now realize that this surge of perfection exists within me.
My mind and body are made from it. It is the source from which
my body repairs itself intelligently, and through which my mind
processes and receives information with ease. Nothing can stand
in the way of this intelligence's work - for there is none else.
This day, I remember that this current of perfection is within
me, guiding all my thinking and choices, my ideas and decisions.
It is within me, regenerating my body in newness and wholeness.
It is the preexistent perfection from which I spring, and I let
that perfection be made completely manifest in me, in every way.
I give thanks for the power to raise my awareness to understand
that Infinite Intelligence is always at work in me, and I let
it work perfectly. The law of mind now works on this understanding,
and makes it so in my life. And so it is.

AFFIRM:
I embrace every moment of my life as an opportunity to express more God!
Today I release the bonds of confusion and lack! I take the limits off of God!

The ever givingness of Spirit is my source and supply made visible!
My life is an adventure in unlimited possibilities!
Faithfully I speak my word! Mindfully I live my word! Gratefully I am my word!
And so it is! Amen!

- Spirit Withholds Nothing
From
This Thing Called YOU by Ernest Holmes
Chapter VI, pg 40: "Spirit withholds nothing from you. To
believe that God refuses the good you desire is to deny the goodness
of God. It is a refusal to accept the profound conclusion of the
one who said, 'It is done unto you as you believe'...
Did not the great and beautiful Jesus proclaim, 'Come unto me,
all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest'?
Reality has not changed since Jesus walked the shores of Galilee.
The Power he used is still here.
It makes little difference what method you use, provided you have
conviction. Some will tell you that you should affirm the Divine
Presence, denying all else. Well and good. This method will work.
Others may tell you that all you need do is to ask, believing.
They are right. Each receives according to their belief. Don't
be too concerned over methods. Any method that leads to conviction
will produce results.
Stop arguing. Learn to believe. Stop debating. Learn to accept.
Stop looking for an authority outside your own conviction. This
calls for complete confidence in the Law and an equal confidence
in yourself. If you wish to be healed you must expect to be made
whole. If you wish freedom you must no longer think bondage. Bondage
and freedom are but two ways of using one law. If you spend all
your time saying, 'I am poor, weak, sick, miserable and unhappy,'
you will attract poverty, weakness, sickness and unhappiness...
The nature of the Mind Principle you are using is that wherever
a mental image is set up in it, an objective form will be created.
Learn to convert thought patterns of sickness, unhappiness, fear
and doubt into patterns which conform to spiritual perfection.
You cannot change a pattern of fear by maintaining an attitude
of fear or by fluctuating between fear and faith. Make a picture
of yourself as happy and successful. Refuse to entertain contrary
ideas. Since you are the only one who has complete access to your
thought, you can do this for yourself better than anyone else can
do it for you...
It is not always easy for one to control his thoughts. It is not
easy in the midst of pain to think of peace, in the midst of poverty
to think abundance, in the midst of unhappiness to think joy. But
if you do this you will meet success. The Law of Mind reflects
your mental attitudes exactly as they are.
simple TREATMENT:
That which I am seeking is seeking me.
That which belongs to me will come to me.
Since it is my desire that only good, truth, love, wisdom and power
shall go from me,
I know this is all that can come back to me.
The Kingdom of God is within and around me.
I know that the power of the living Spirit exists at the center
of my being.
Now think of some desire, and say:
It is done unto me.
Even God must wait your conscious co-operation before the full
light of His presence and the power of His law can be made manifest
through you. Your conscious co-operation with Him starts with a
realization of the Divine Presence and your union with it.."
Here's to being unstoppable!
Rev. Angela
