09.01.03 - Labor Day
There is only one power in the universe that enlivens nature and
makes possible all actions. It is omnipresent, everywhere in the
universe, within each living thing and each particle of matter.
It is within the core of our being. So why are we not more conscious
of this true nature? We are too often inclined to identify with
our conditioned mental states, moods, and personal circumstances
rather than our true nature. The way to correct this unfortunate
misperception is to restore our awareness to wholeness by choosing
states of awareness, thoughts, feelings, and actions that will
allow our innate qualities to emerge and prevail.
Today, we can use the symbolic "labor day" to rebirth
our connection with our trueness of Being. Take this day to intentionally
birth a deeper, more intense Soul Self into your Life. To birth
more Soul aspects here you need only pay attention to the details
within your life's experience to an even greater extent than you
already have. The future you that you have longed for can be here
now! Your part simply has to be the desire for guidance, inspiration,
healing, spiritual insight . . . .
Choose to be fully present upon the Earth's surface and not elsewhere
so that you do not miss what you have longed to experience because
you have placed your attention elsewhere. Follow the examples of
the spiritual masters who have gone before you, and cleanse and
purge what no longer serves a purpose in your life. Seek out others
like yourself who are taking the same steps, and do so together,
for there is more power in togetherness than in separateness. Do
not take for granted who and what you are today, yet at the same
time look beyond that to confirm for yourself that there is indeed
a brighter horizon and a grander purpose for your Spirit. Understand
that the possibility of being more fully HERE exists in this moment.
Because at the core of our stature we are the Redeemer revealing
the potential of humanity.
Now, what are you hoping for? Higher Self, The Whole Soul, Your
Master Self, The Power of God in you .....
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
Equipped with qualities, a doer of works and creator of their
consequences, I reap the results of all my actions. I am the ruler
of life and move in this One journey according to my own acts.
I lovingly recognize my awesome nature of Spirit, merge all my
energies, desires, and movements within Its workings today to
bring about the True Self. I understand as It understands for I
am the coming nexus of organized consciousness ready for
rebirth.
Monday is simply a step in the growth of being towards my
destined self-unfolding in Nature. I all Infinite Intelligence
to freely
and easily know Itself by means of my deeds and consciousness.
I am open and receptive to the vital awakening of a deeper, richer
spiritual awareness that flows through me transforming conditions,
and creating a wonderful life! I enjoy dynamic good health, increasing
prosperity, true love and creative fulfillment in all I do. As
a creator in
training and an apprentice along a soul path toward ascension I
survive
all challenges by being open to change and through faith in the
perfection
of all that unfolds before me. In my heart, I know that new vibrations
of
power and honor bring forth changes. These changes are in truth
the forerunners of better conditions bringing forth ideals and
goals
into concrete form.
Being content, at peace, and filled with joy I let this prayer be fulfilled now.
I am tickled by its divine power the change all my desires into behaviors of
a christed consciousness. So be it. It is the time of fulfillment. And so it
is.

- The Right Questions
Mental
creation often begins with questions, an opening into the realm
of the Infinite Supply of answers. For years I invested time, conversation
and mental energy pondering surface questions such as, "Why
did she do that to me?" "What must they think of me?" "Am
I pretty?" "Why don't more guys call? and "What
do I want to be?" These kinds of questions were (and are)
based on the belief that I am a personality, separated from the
whole, trying to get satisfaction from people, places and things
outside myself. Oh, I generated lots of noise and speculation,
but I cannot recall ever getting any real satisfaction from the
answers.
What an awesome relief -- and responsibility -- it was to consciously
wake up to the truth that I am not a separated personality struggling
to make it in the world. I am an Infinite, Eternal Being, made
in the image and likeness of the One. Therefore, since my mind
is one with the Mind of God, I am using the infinite power of Mind
to co-create my life, whether or not I am aware of it. What I think
about, contemplate and focus on expands as my life experience.
As I contemplate different questions, I can awaken to the wisdom,
insight and inspiration that are always flowing in the One Mind
-- and, therefore, always flowing (through me) as my true nature.
If I ask, "What is the spiritual viewpoint here?" "What
God qualities are being called from me?" and "How can
I be of service?" I open to the Infinite, Eternal Source of
answers. Asking questions from the broader perspective, the higher
elevations, allows you to delve into the originating spiritual
craftiness that spoils Itself as you each day.
Look at the valleys of your life, yet soar to its peaks to truly
appreciate the splendor that you live in. From this vista the questions
will all be easily answered.
Here's to the Universe learnin' us -
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
There is but one Infinite Intelligence in the universe,
and that intelligence is God, by whatever name I call it. I know
that Spirit,
being
an indivisible wholeness, is always in harmony with itself; there
is never a
conflict or confusion within Spirit. I may experience the temporary
confusion of forgetting the truth about myself, other people, and
the
universe, but the Truth is that spirit is never confused!
Because this is the case, all conflict and confusion are now banished
from
my experience. It is truly this simple; I set a clear intention
and God does
the work in me, by means of spiritual laws, to make it come about.
So I
release confusion, conflict, and difficulty, and in their place
I welcome
clarity, harmony, and ease.
I give thanks for the infinite possibility that is within me, which
I am
always bringing out to share with the world and the people in it.
I let this
be so, and so it is.

New gifts and talents spring up from my divine connection with

- Sit Still
"All
that you are seeking is also seeking you," she writes.
"If you sit still, it will find you. It has been waiting for
you a long time.
Once it is here, don't move away. Rest. See what happens next."
Clarissa Pinkola Estes in her book "Women Who Run With the
Wolves."
TREATMENT:
Right here and now, I invoke the spiritual power that is latent
within, and
use it for good. This power is god, the one presence, the all powerful,
all
wise creator of all things. It is my creator, and it has imbued
me with the
power to choose for myself my life experience.
There's nothing in the world that is greater than this inner power,
no
matter how things may seem. No person, place, thing, or organization
is
greater than this inner power. And having invoked it, I now use
it to create
the life I was meant to live.
I don't put this off for another moment, for whatever it is I'm
waiting for
won't make a bit of difference. All the spiritual power I need
or will ever
have is activated within me now. I claim for myself and for all
people a
life that is filled with love, prosperity, creativity, and satisfaction.
I
claim a life filled to overflowing with the opportunities I need
to flourish
and grow. I claim a life that is rich in friends and rich in substance.
I
claim a life that gives to the world all that it has to give. And
because
the universe responds in kind, I give that which I would receive.
And I
receive it, in abundance.
I give thanks for the power in me to choose, to create, and to
recreate
myself and my experience by means of my thought. And so it is.

- Care of the Soul
"THE
TIME HAS COME to elude, outwit, and overthrow the idiots who preach
the bizarre doctrine that cynicism is a supreme sign of intellectual
vigor. There is no longer any need to buy into the well-crafted
hallucinations of the ruling fools who take everything so damn
seriously and personally. You are therefore welcome to join me
in claiming your rightful place in a top-secret cabal of rowdy
sages,
goofy geniuses, mysterious
do-gooders, and healing mischief-makers of divine play that live
from a spiritual heart." Rob Brezsny.
Today's Lesson - Letting there be room for not knowing and surrendering to flow
as a gift to yourself.
As we move through our daily activities, we are guaranteed to face challenges
from time to time. There are times when you may feel out of control, powerless,
taken advantage of, afraid, or betrayed. As presenters of God's goodness you
have found attitudes to neutralize such agonizing experiences. One of the best
mindsets is to be open and go with the flow. Being in flow when the rest of the
world seems to be in turmoil is accomplished through internal levels of cooperation
with what is present while you are connected with the Source within. When you
are in flow, you change the energy in your field, thus influencing others to
come into harmony and balance and join with all that is unfolding perfectly.
As responsible spiritual citizens in a global community it is our role to lead
by example. Sometimes things have to fall apart to open our hearts and minds.
You and I have a courage and a faith that has grown as a result of continuing
to explore and to take the risks and the actions regardless of the presence of
fear. All life is an adventure, and Spirit is blessing all of it for your pleasure.
Let me remind you that fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.
If you have the strength to expose your heart to the underlying harmony of Life
and the perfection of all that unfolds, even in the midst of difficulty then
you can flow with any adverse condition.
From the rowdy realms of Polarities I am,
your Reverend Angela
"
One of the most radical discoveries [Gandhi] was to make in a lifetime of experimentation:
in order to transform others, you have to transform yourself."
-Eknath Easwaran
in his biography of Mahatma Gandhi
TREATMENT:
The Universe is an absolute, sublime order that is always flowing into and
out of form; revealing and concealing itself in perfect bliss. This Universe
is infinite, all intelligent, and completely empowered to accomplish
whatever it sets out to accomplish. What is true of me is that I am made
of this stuff; created out of the Infinite Perfect Presence of Spirit, out
of this one pure and perfect order, always revealing and unfolding and
discovering my preexistent, inherent self...which is perfect in every way.
I perceive the natural harmony in every moment. I experience the flow of my
life with ease and delight, moving swiftly when the currents are swift, and
drifting easily when it is drifting time! I don't get out of joint because
things don't go as I expect; I go with the flow of harmonious creation, and
let that creation create in me a sense of deep and abiding ease. I don't
push the river, but let it lift me up and carry me forward. This universe is
an easy place to live in and prosper in and love in and create in, and I go
about my business believing this truth with all my heart.
The natural, lawful result of this: my life works, and it works wonderfully!
In what appears to be chaos, something in me perceives the order and harmony
within, and trusts in that so implicitly that no storms can discourage me.
And so it shall forever be.

- New Year Now?
My thought
is in control of my experience, and I can direct my thinking.
This week my center is gearing up to start Science of Mind classes
once again. In a sense, I always consider this a "New Year" because
it is a time when individuals in the New Thought community commit
to turning over a new leaf, to expansion, and to a fuller knowing
of themselves. Ernest Holmes once commented that Religious Science's
greatest gift to the world was "right thinking." "The
ability to attain your goals - to control your experiences and
have them result in happiness, prosperity, and success - lies in
your own mind and the way you use it." ( How to Change Your
Life ) To participate within a group as Mind-in-action can only
lead to greater good in your life. The ancient yogis believed that
the Godhead that dwells within the body is intelligence itself,
is pure consciousness and that our minds reflect this consciousness.
The Science of Mind philosophy teaches; all conditions are affected
by mental ones. The dear ones that have signed up for a class have
just instituted a spiritual contract for their Inner God to be
revealed! Yea for them! I bow in honor to these Souls that signed
up for class this week because they are Possibilities walking.
They represent the human spirit searching for new ways to experience
who we really are. They are going to remember that they are Divinity,
All That Is, journeying forth to experience Itself in a myriad
of ways, Is-ness taking form in every manner possible to experience
Its own self.
I think we should all take a cue from them and do something about
ourselves and for ourselves that will develop our finer, or God-like
qualities. Move somewhere dynamic in consciousness my friends,
broaden your spectrum of living. Why not give rise to a new paradigm?
Be beautiful to behold and dignified in movement as you compose
your life's manuscript.
Living the call from Spirit,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
There is only One life, and that life is filled with the power
to recreate
itself in every moment. I am one with this life, being created
out of it. I
can always be made new by the Infinite Creative Power of this Life,
and I
choose to be made new today.
Whatever it is in me that's ripe for expansion, I offer it to the
transformative power of Truth. I let the light in; I let everything
be
accessible to this power of Truth. I behold new ideas, constructive
habits of
thought, word, and deed, and let the infinite Truth have its way
with me!
I'm ready for the powerful changes this brings in my life in all
its forms.
I'm ready for a deeper, fuller, richer experience of
life and living, one
that comes only from a deeper experience of my true spiritual nature.
I open
myself for this experience, and I receive it with joy and gratitude.
And so
it is.

- Medium of Creative Force
The
Infinite pours itself into any space receptive to its givingness.
Daily I affirm myself as a place of expanding receptivity to the
Life so freely and purely given. I see what I create rippling out,
and I determine whether it uplifts and reveals more Life.
Can I be bigger than what I desire? Am I able to see past the things,
the stuff, and lean more into expressing a God quality that will
bring about the greatest good for both me and everyone in my orbit?
If I can consider it, the answer is "Yes." Currently,
I am evaluating the people in my orbit as potential business partners.
Perhaps more accurately, I am assessing what our coming together
will create as it ripples outward. Will it create and express balance,
wholeness, and unity? Or is it just a heat wave that will burn
us up and singe those standing near us?
Like water and sunshine to a garden, what is in the consciousness
of people partnering will grow. Have we planted in our minds and
hearts what we want to vitalize through the powerful lens of vision?
This line of inquiry brings us to a greater embodiment of Oneness.
The thought process includes our desires, and also looks up and
out to the communities˜work, neighbor, spiritual, national˜to
assess its impact. What is it we as partners create? How are we
creating it? How is it affecting the orbit of communities?
Do I˜individually, and in partnerships˜have a clear conception
of the needs of my environment and of other people in the environment?
This question applies to all other outlets of expression in my
life: personality, family, home, work, play, church and service.
This is the living art of my life. Life as creative force...awakened
art.
Within Peace,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
I know that there is One Infinite Power, One Spirit, and One Life.
That life
is right within me now; I am intimately connected to spirit's power,
and I
can use it by setting my intentions with care and consciousness.
This universe responds to me in kind, so I am always mindful of
how I'm
thinking about myself, about other people, about everything! I
choose to
think in ways that support the kind of relationships I desire.
I think in ways
that nurture and support me while establishing new partnerships.
My thinking
welcomes more love, rather than shutting it out. All exchanges
and relationships
with others expands universal consciousness, rather than snuffing
out the light.
All partnered exchanges create a greater embodiment of Oneness
for all mankind.
I know that what I pay attention to, I become. So I make sure that I am attending
to whatever it is I want to increase in my life.
Whenever I notice myself thinking and choosing in ways that support my
littleness, that support restriction, I stop and think again. I can choose
how to think, and I do this right now by setting a clear and powerful
intention, powered by the spiritual laws of this universe, that I am always
at the helm of my life, always choosing nurturing and supportive ways of
thought, word, and deed. And the natural result is a life that is
supportive, supplied, and absolutely wonderful. I give thanks for this
inherent power that is in me and in all beings. And I let it unfold with
grace and gratitude. And so it is.

- The Journey
AFFIRM:
Everything is potential,
and every potential is mine for the thought!
I recognize that I live in a limitless world.
A world where all I have to do is conceive a thought,
perceive the reality of that thought,
then allow it to manifest into my reality!
This is called the journey.
The particle of God Creator of which I am.
And so it is.

- Mass Consciousness
The
following is an exercise that will assist us in changing mass consciousness
upon our planet. We know there is an energy consciousness that
remains ensouled around our beautiful sphere. This consciousness
has begun the task of showing up in our lives. It is with the abundance
of God's love that I ask you to fill your heart space and take
several opportunities during your day to quietly focus your thoughts
on creating a peaceful world. In your imagined state -- sit with
the Presence of Peace, not just with what you can envision, but
also what you can feel.
Imagine our planet vibrantly healthy, full of life and all of creation living
harmoniously with one another, a planet where life is simple and all needs are
met. Visualize all races together as human brothers sharing the planet and caring
for one another. Hatred and destruction are the things of the past, and all of
humanity is living together with creativity and love. Fully feel and participate
in this vision as if it were manifest now in our world.
This is how you, individually, can sow the seeds of change. It is each of our
responsibilities! Not the governments, not the churches, not the tribes and societies.
It has to start at the bottom, one human heart at a time. That is how we ensure
a world of peace for our children. Children are the voices and energy of the
future, and they are bringing into this incarnation with them the rays of the
future of our world. Can you take five minutes, ten minutes out of your day today
so that humankind will not lose sight of how to preserve itself?
I bid you all a fond and splendid day filled with the love and light of All That
Is,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
There is only One Life, and that life is Spirit. Spirit's essence is
love...love without end, without condition, without reason. Just love. And I
am created out of this One Pure Essence. My nature is love. And because this
is my inherent nature, love is always with me...always within me.
I let this love loose in my life in ways that bless all beings everywhere. I
let this love flow without limit; I let it speak through my words and take
form in my every act. I open my heart and my mind and all of my being to let
this love be the powerful guiding and healing force in my life. This love,
being my nature, feels completely right, and in it, I am always at home.
I love the people it is easy to love, and I love those it is more difficult
to love. Where I find loving a challenge, I let Spirit love through me...and
show me how to love more deeply and more truly. Anything unlike love I now
release completely, and in its place, the creative and nurturing power of
love remains. I give thanks for this power to choose to love above all else,
and I give thanks for this wonderful universe of which I am a part. I am
ever grateful for the love that is my source, my substance, and my true
heart. And so it is.

- Care of the Soul
Honoring
the Spirit-BodyYou are not body alone, nor are you spirit alone
in the form you now inhabit. The ways of old within a field of
duality taught you to believe that it was necessary to separate
the physical from the spiritual self in order to advance. To become
spiritual you found it helpful to denounce the physical desires
of the body. That was your truth in the lower vibrations and it
worked well. Understand that truth is an evolutionary process and
as we move to higher levels of existence it becomes helpful to
reach for higher truths to support our higher vibration. The next
big body/mind/spirit topic will be the emergence of what we will
call the Spirit-Body. In the old vibrations from which we were
sourced, it was necessary to place some division between the Body
and the Soul. As we now move closer to Home that division is fading.
Very soon we will see the new importance of treating the spirit-body
as one. Honoring the spirit-body as the perfect vehicle to carry
your energy is an area of grounding that will become more important
as your evolution continues. This can be done by honoring the spiritual
desires of the body and the bodily desires of the spirit. This
action will help to balance our male and female, our yin and the
yang, and our Light and the dark sides. This is the reason that
we will now find a different connection to what once was our physical
bubble of biology. Grounding has always been important as we walk
in physical form. Now we will also find it helpful to ground the
spirit-body as one. The emergence of the spirit-body is the reason
we will find changes in weight and dimension more effective than
even a short time ago. The spirit-body is the new vehicle that
will take us to the next level of existence and it is beginning
to surface at this time among those leading the way in the evolution
process. Honor your spirit-body as the physical and spirit united.
Listen, as it will tell you what it needs. It now speaks to you
through your spirit. This blending motion of the physical and spiritual
self also emulates the blending motion of the Universal Energy.
Brings about a whole new concept of Oneness, eh?
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
All souls are born from the nursery of Light called God.
I recognize that I am simply a gestalt of energy functioning
as (your name) at this moment. I come to this adventurous
plane called earth as Spirit operating through the brilliant
pinpoint of (your name)'s consciousness focused within a
physical body. As Spirit-in-action my world is a living, breathing,
dynamic channel of expression for Creative Intelligence.
Today I set about the discovery and recovery of the unique Self;
the authentic, primary pattern of God composition that I AM. I
discard the consciousness of conformity that keeps me narrowly
and specifically distant from the cultivation and expression of
my
autonomous Self. No longer do I feel the need to be a copy, a simulation,
or a revision of genetic human patterning. Spirit is never inadequate
or
distorted, it is forever authentic, pure and whole and so am I
as its
representative. Recognizing this, the person I am becomes truer
to Self,
steadier, clam, undaunted and sovereign regardless of the impingements
of the external world. I easily discover and develop the creative
well-spring
from which arises the authentic, original blossomings of pure mind.
This
shall be my greatest human work!
Exquisitely and joyously I celebrate the ceremony of the emerging
human
that is simultaneously merging. Emerging and merging ~ to become
a
clearer, purer tone of Self, able to blend my unique tone into
the
wondrous outflowering of All That Is. Hallelujah! And so it is.

- Family Life
As knowledge
increases and contemplation broadens its base that it may deepen
its perspective, it will at the same time heighten the apex of
receptivity. -Ernest Holmes
Note: today's special guest writer: Ernest Holmes.
The Family Life, Living the Science of Mind
In treating against family confusion, work to know that there is no confusion.
The family is a collection of Perfect Ideas. It may difficult at times to sense
this; but the practitioner ( the one praying ) is not dealing with the manifestation
of discord as though it were a thing of itself, but only as though it were a
wrong combination of thoughts operating through persons who are already spiritually
unified with each other, desiring each other's Good, and being kindly disposed
toward each other.
What you want to handle or dissolve is the belief that Good ever be divided against
Itself. The idea of argument and criticism cannot enter into this family life.
It certainly cannot upset the equilibrium of the Spirit which indwells every
member, joining them together in a community of Spirit. They have a partnership
with each other and with the Eternal.
The practitioner must also know that there is no sense of jealousy or any other
kindred thought which can operate in the family life. He resolves all of these
so-called people into the image of Perfection. He seems them emerge as unified
manifestations of Wholeness. The household of God is a household of peace and
happiness, and nothing enters it but love, joy, and understanding.
** Although Ernest is giving advice to practitioners, I believe it wise for all
of us to take note on how to view family and what focus to uphold whenever challenges
arise.
TREATMENT: (also by Ernest)
Today shall contain joy and happiness; shall be filled with peace;
and through it all there will running the silent Power of spiritual force,
that which harmoniously and happily governs our thoughts and decisions
and acceptances, so that everything will be done without effort.
So we lay all weariness side and accept the life-giving, invigorating, dynamic
Power of Spirit, knowing that It vitalizes every organ of our body, It flows
with
strength and purpose through everything we do, even as It leads us gently down
the pathway of life.
Today is the day that God has made, and we are glad in it. And when the evening
time comes, the cool shadows of peace shall fall across our pathway and the quiet
night shall enter into our souls, the beatitude of the Spirit shall flow through
us as
a river of life. We shall sleep in peace, and wake in joy, and live in a consciousness
of Good, for God is over all, in all, and through all.

- The Business of Business
Note:
today's special guest writer: Joel S. Goldsmith
Business always seems to be dependent on certain conditions, circumstances
and seasons,
or on the good will of other persons. In the human picture business
is affected by weather,
finances, changing modes and fads, but turning from this picture
we find that in reality
business is the continuous activity of Principle; that this activity
is infinite and harmonious,
and that it is maintained and sustained by Principle Itself.
Business is an infinite activity, is forever without limit, and
is never dependent on person, place or thing. Right where you are,
business is. It is a result of and resident in individual consciousness,
because individual consciousness is the universal Consciousness
individually expressed. If we go about our tasks doing those things
that lie nearest at hand, with faith that there is an ever-present,
invisible power which the Hebrews call Emmanuel, or "God with
us," and which Christians call the Christ, our work will always
bear fruit. The point to remember is that at all times, and in
all places, there is an invisible and omnipotent power acting to
support every right human effort; and the way to demonstrate this
is to recognize and acknowledge the presence and power of God and
rely on it.
Business, spiritually understood, is the reverse of the usual conception
in which every thought must be held to profit and loss and good
policy and bad policy, or that which is or that which is not "good
business." This business is never at the mercy of times and
tides or circumstances and conditions, but is the free flow of
the activity of Mind universally expressed. Lack and limitation
exist only in the belief that God and man have become separated
from each other. The true understanding of man's relationship of
God reveals the ever-presence of supply, the immediate availability
of good in every form and in an unlimited quantity.
The facet of the diamond need not pray for color or brilliance
because the diamond has no power to withhold these from its outer
surface. The same is true for you, Spirit cannot withhold its supply
of life, its quality of substance, activity and peace, from its
individualized being. All that man can ever need is with the universal
Mind, eternal Life, and is pouring itself into expression through
man and his businesses every moment. from "Collected Essays
of Joel S. Goldsmith"
TREATMENT: (also by Mr. Goldsmith)
God's grace flows out into the world as an invisible Presence
and as an invisible Power of blessings through me. I am that
center through which that grace is bestowed upon the world -
my world, God's instrument through which the divine wisdom,
the bread of life, the wine of life, and the water of life are
reaching
mankind. The nations of the world seek bread, food, clothing,
and housing, but "not ye, my disciples" --not I; I seek
only the
kingdom of God and I let God's grace flow through me.
The spirit of God in me is the Christ. Its function is to heal,
raise
the dead, open the eyes of the blind - the materially and spiritually
blind - and illumine human consciousness through me to the world. "
My peace," the Christ-peace, is given unto me and through
me to
the world. That is the function of the light that is pouring through
me.
The truth I am becomes the bread of life to this world which does
not
yet know its own identity. I, my Divine Consciousness, become the
wine and the water. This light which I am becomes the light of
the
world to the unillumined and my presence a benediction.

AFFIRM:
God is my perfect sight. God sees through me.
I bless my eyes for they are God's instruments for
seeing. In Spirit, I live and move and have my being.
My physical senses are an activity of the One Mind
which lives in me. God sees through me that which
He wishes to see -- the Eternal Good. As I behold the
face of God, that which is Good, that which is truth, that
which is God, my sight is restored. There is now no
imperfection in me, for in truth I am perfect as the Father
in heaven is perfect. Keeping the eye single my whole body
is full of Light. I let God see through me easily and harmoniously
that which is beautiful, enduring and true. God is my perfect sight.
God sustains my vision and I am made whole.
And so it is.
from "Your Needs Met" by Jack & Cornelia Addington.

- Principal of Abundance
Note: today's special guest writer: John Randolph Price
The Principle of Abundance from The Alchemist's Handbook.
The universe of infinite plenty assures us that enjoying wealth on the material
plane is not only our right and duty, but is the law. In other words, we must
be rich - not as a possibility, but as a certainty. It is the same as any other
rule or governing principle: That's the way it is. Of course, it is possible
to overcome or break the law. For example, an airplane overcomes gravity to leave
the ground; we break the law of abundance through ignorance or fear of scarcity.
The Creative Mother, the ME of you, never considers economic situations. All
she knows is boundless, unlimited abundance, and by law seeks to manifest infinite
riches in the material world. She is a literal gold mine, forever producing lavish,
overflowing wealth in all its many forms.
In Roman times, money was considered a gift from the Goddess, and was considered
holy. Even the writers of the Bible recognized that being prosperous was equivalent
to a life of beauty, happiness, and freedom.
Beloved, I wish above all thing that thou mayest prosper.
(3 John 2)
Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Psalms 1:3)
The pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. (Isaiah 53:10)
The God of heaven, he will prosper us. (Nehemiah 2:20)
It was only after the early Christians heard that the pagans equated money with
sex did Paul write "money is the root of all evil." The ancient mythological
belief was that the essence of silver and gold was the spirit of eroticism, and
this obviously bothered Paul and influenced his views on both sexuality and money.
Now, what can you consciously believe is true regarding abundance in your life?
You can look through spiritual eyes and see the truth that scarcity cannot exist
in your life because it does not exist anywhere in the universe. And neither
does the appearance of loss. There is no lack or limitation anywhere. Understand
this.
You can also merge in conscious awareness with the Mother-Spirit and realize
that you are the infinite Treasure House of Riches, which help you polarize in
the higher vibration. And consider what words of power you can use to convey
the right impression on the creative medium.
TREATMENT: (also by Mr. Price)
All that the Universal Presence of God has is mine,
for God and the expressions of God cannot be separated.
They are forever one, and therefore I live in the Eternal
Now with the Infinite All, and nothing is missing in my
life. I AM the power of God to HAVE.
I am the fiery strength of God, the living force of vitality
that goes forth with divine intention and authority. My
creativity is Love in action, and everything I do is victorious.
My divine power is the thought that I WILL, and every door
swings open before that power. I cannot be limited, for I am
the law of expansion, increase, and fruition. A magnificent
harvest of excess is springing forth at every moment, ready
for gathering. I am the Spirit of Infinite Plenty. I am the Shining
Sun of Supply, and God's wealth fills my world.
I am the spirit of accomplishment, the force of achievement, and
every activity of my life now reflects the ideals of victory, beauty,
harmony, and abundance, for that is what I BELIEVE.

- I'm Back
Due
to the effects of Hurricane Isabel, your Morning Blessings were
interrupted for quite a few days. After ten days of no power and
no cable connections I awoke early this morning only to discover
power had finally been restored to my neighborhood. The day was
spent coming back to "normal" which has been an abstract
concept for me lately. The theme for September has been: remain
centered in the mist of chaos. Find the adventure in change, and
consider different aspects of Being when your oasis of comfort
has been dismantled. The last couple of weeks has allowed me to
dispatch my attention to deeper levels of consciousness concerning
problems and solutions.
I have had to look for what was right in every situation that arose.
If a situation appeared that suggested that something was wrong,
I noted it without conclusion, and considered it part of a larger
unfolding. Sure, I heard neighbors blame, endlessly rehashing the
details that would keep them bound to the problem, thus perpetuating
the situation. This was a good time to reflect with my children
and let them see into the Whole of me while living some stressful
moments. What better time to remain poised and unresisting and
show them how problems can move through and move on, can change,
and even resolve! My father always said, "A problem is a situation
resisted -- its solution is the situation accepted." Hurricane
Isabel and her aftermath afforded me the opportunity to take a
new stance in consciousness concerning problems. I am so grateful
to have gotten another tap on the shoulder about taking responsibility,
letting go of the concern over outcomes, accepting things as they
are, and resting deliberately in the conviction that Good is always
unfolding!
Thanks to everyone for your concerns and kind words. Know that
all is well and in perfect order here.
Still peaceful, as always,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
There is only One. One mind, One life, One intelligence, and it
is always at
work in perfect ways wherever it is to be found...and it can be
found
everywhere. As the creative presence that made all that is, it
is always in
the process of making things out of itself; it does this by becoming
that
which it makes. It does this lawfully, impersonally, and perfectly.
I am a creation of this One intelligent life, and everything about
me is
always at work in perfect ways wherever I am. No matter what is
going on in
my life, there is a sweet perfection within it to be witnessed
and experienced.
And I am always open to experiencing just that. There's nothing
about this
world or its conditions that can stop this perfection from being
the ultimate truth.
Right now, whatever seems to be in opposition to this eternal and
overwhelming truth is now dissolved and remade in perfection. My
body is
restored to perfect wholeness...the wholeness from which it was
made. My
mind is calm and clear, reflecting the innate wisdom of life in
my every
thought and the most trivial choices. My relationships are filled
with the
power of love in every way, from the most intimate to the most
fleeting. And
the work I do in the world is inspired and informed by this Presence
that is
within me, always creating good and more good. And so it is.

- Listening to Soul Mind
Those
who realize that the world is an effect of the imagination and
faith soon become the master of their experience. Our descent into
the world of physicality is often times a struggle until we discover
that spark of divine consciousness that has always been us! This
adventurous earth journey is where we can exemplify all the virtues
and qualities of the Creator in perfect harmony and in total alignment
with Divine Will. Any situation we dislike, can be changed, often
quickly and dramatically, if we simply turn our attention within,
to the structure of consciousness to which the situation corresponds.
Through conscious intent you can bring forth the necessary primal
life force substance to miraculously manifest your desired outcome.
No one rejects us except insofar as we have rejected ourselves
or others. Lack of generosity towards others may manifest as poverty
or some other conspicuous shortage, while generosity of spirit
(including toward oneself) opens the natural channels of supply,
sufficiency, and abundance. Hatred, resentment, and condemnation
will pour their toxins into the body as well as the ethers, and
one cannot be healthy while dispensing ill will.
As conscious beings, with soul mind and spirit, we hold the keys
to the kingdom of heaven here on earth, the door to which opens
as we open ourselves to ways of forgiveness, peace, kindness, good
will, generosity of spirit, and nonresistance. This week I am going
to ask you to function with your soul mind rather than your rational
human mind. Our soul, or intuitive, mind is one of the greatest
resources within us. It always has a never-ending supply of fresh
ideas and creative thoughts just waiting for us. This mind is accessed
through "that small inner voice," and it will always
point you in the right direction and help you make the right decision
if you will only listen. Yes, it burns brighter in those who have
diligently striven to connect with their I AM presence but everyone
can form a bond with this companion who directs, inspires, nurtures
and even protects. You have no idea how the soul mind can assist
until you move into harmony with it. All you need to do is to turn
inward for spiritual sustenance. For the rest of this week when
a problem or perplexing situation comes up seek no one else's assistance.
Take it to your soul mind first. You'll likely want to chat about
your new guidance with a friend, and that is wonderful, as long
as you are not soliciting advice from outside yourself. The criteria
being met is to hear your own small voice. For me, it always feels
and sounds just like when I ponder something in a daydream. If
you are not focused it might slip by because the soul is so subtle
that making decisions from the soul mind can at ease by unnoticed
when you first ask it. Pay attention fellow creators and remember
that thought itself is template, a concept crying out for fulfillment.
When you ask a question -- the answer is always given. Always.
Joining you in this endeavor,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
I am the Living Source. I am the consciousness of Oneness living
in
a physical domain. I am part of a beautiful tapestry called Earth
Creation
that floats within the universal order of All That Is. My being
transmits
love from the inside out, as I attune to the Perfect Presence of
inner peace
that penetrates all primal life.
Today I live as the spiritual ideal that has the wisdom and power
to dispel
all destructive thoughts and energies that propose to disturb my
worldly
space. I commune with the elixir of Spirit that palpitates from
the inherent
core of my being. Reaching this heart of spirit, I consciously
release its
emanations allowing this essence to burst forth in my life. The
components
of love, peace, and truth that I embody shall level all concurrents
of negativity
I meet and transmute it into the cosmic light of Oneness.
Maintaining a respect for the Divinity in all, I celebrate the
Truth that everyone
and everything in my life is blessing and benefiting me today and
always. I
believe that man and all his acts are the individualization of
God, and as such
the people, and all they bring into my world is good, loving, joyous,
and kind.
I live this day worthy of the Infinite Thinker that is expressing
through me.
And so it is.
