10.01.03 - One Mind
AFFIRM:
written by Marianna Theo
There is One Glorious Mind of God/Goddess Energy, it bursts and
bubbles,
radiating an immense joy filled love.
Softly, compassionately it presents itself to our inner being.
A renewing
awareness within each heart and a stirring within each soul, we
awaken
to our truth. We are the Universal manifestation of Divine Creation.
The dance of the Goddess begins, creativity is unveiled, harmony
winds
its way in a steady flow, and the Healer is born.
Peace, order and love are here right now, "on earth as it
is in heaven."
A wave of gratitude radiates from within enriching and blessing
our purpose.
We are the One Mind. And so it is.

- Privilege of Giving
"You
must give some time to your fellow men.
Even if it's a little thing, do something for others, something
for which
you get no pay but the privilege of doing it." - Albert Schweitzer
Life is circulation. If things aren't going well, look for areas
of constriction that you can release: forgiving someone who hurt
you, giving away things you don't use anymore, lending a hand.
Giving doesn't have to be formal or grand. We can offer a word
of appreciation to a sales clerk who obviously harried. We can
say hello to a stranger we pass on the street and not resort to
criticism if the stranger doesn't respond. We can listen to someone
attentively, not to five advice or fix things, but simply to be
good company. In other words, we can give unconditionally, just
for the sake of giving. When we do, we also receive much, because
we come to a direct awareness that we can be more than an effect
of circumstances, and this is the beginning of realizing that the
Self, wittingly or unwittingly, is the cause of all that happens
in this world. This realization resolves the apparent separateness
in the underlying Oneness of things, the Prodigal Son's turning
toward home. As long as this oneness remains foreign to us, our
life is like a stuffy room with little or no circulation, and events
must remain much the way they have been. Realizing and respecting
that the Self -- through belief, imagination, and expectation --
is cause throws open the windows and lets in a flow of new circulation,
allowing us to move effortlessly beyond old limitations. It's up
to each one of us to open the window and allow this circulation
to flow, especially in areas where old habits of anger, resentment,
reaction, self-pity, and complacency may have constricted us. Today,
we can choose to open ourselves in a new way to unconditional,
nonreactive giving and receiving.
Looking for opportunities to spend my currency of giving,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
There is but one source, and that source is God. The nature
of God is
beyond the words I use to describe it, but I believe it to be infinite,
intelligent, compassionate, and all-powerful. Because it is infinite,
omniscient, and omnipresent, it is right where I am. Its wisdom
is right
where I am. And its ability to create wonderful things is right
where I am.
I begin today by using this magnificent power in constructive and
life-affirming ways. I do this by making sure my thinking is in
alignment
with what I want to experience. I do this by taking actions that
exemplify
my commitment to being of service and acting with understanding.
I do this
by getting clear in my own heart and mind that all that I see,
no matter
what it looks like, is God.
I stop paying so much attention to what things look like, and I
uncover what
things -are- like. Seeing the unobstructed Truth allows me to invoke
a
higher law...one that creates harmony, joy, and absolute freedom.
I give
thanks for my ability to shift my perception in this simple and
available
way. And I do it, moment by moment, all day and every day. And
so it is.

- Age Well
Age Well. Start Now
Here we go - October Fridays are always health oriented. Putting
together something that has meaning to all of us and can hold your
interest can be challenging, but I believe that this month's topic
on aging will inspire us all. Each day, for that fact each minute,
we get older. It's how we perceive and handle the changes that
make all the difference. After our Fridays, you should notice how
easily your perception of aging can be changed. Hopefully you'll
be inspired and reminded of the depths of Spirit and the fact that
the greatest secret is that no matter how old we are there is an
Observer witnessing it all that is changeless. The truth is: your
body changes, but you don't change at all.
No matter how old your driver's license says you are, you likely
have an inner birthday clock fixed at another age entirely. Most
of us do. The next time you are gathered with friends ask each
one how old they feel. Odds are that the numbers will average out
much younger than the chronological facts. Part of this mindset
is due to so much information available on how to stay strong and
vital. "The idea that we have to prevent aging is crazy," says
Susan Love, MD, author of Dr. Susan Love's Menopause and Hormone
Book. "It's going to happen. What we really want to do is
live as long as we possibly can in the best health we can."
With that in mind, here are some questions for you to ponder over
the next week:
_How does getting older affect the way you really feel about yourself physically,
emotionally, spiritually?
_With age comes wisdom. What are the most valuable lessons life has taught you?
What experiences can you share with others?
_List your "age mentors". Whose path to maturity has inspired you?
Who
has served as a warning? Now next to each name write down what that person's
life has taught you about aging.
_It's a medical fact that people with connections live longer and stay happier.
Make a map of your social network. Put yourself in the center, then draw lines
to family members, friends, coworkers, teachers, guides, and spiritual or support
group buddies you interact with regularly. How could you create more - or closer
- relationships?
Remember age truly only gives you one thing -- more of yourself each day!
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
Timeless, beautiful, ageless creation serves to bring me to my own
fullness of Its life this day. A mighty heart of self love celebrates
the beauty of Spirit that dances to the rhythm of sweet,
unconditional life! Invited to a feast of joyous, eternal bliss, I
delight in the pains and the perks of each day's harvest.
Because beauty and wisdom are cumulative I resolve to be the
most gorgeous, provocative blossom in creation's garden. This"
little flower" has flourished because of her/his ravenous appetite
for living in hot pursuit of holiness. How simply outrageous that
this eternal glamorous, restless adventurer gives the name of God
a personal face that is graced by the beloved lines of time. Every
wrinkle, smile line, dot and spot remind me that I AM forever! The
physical evidence of wisdom and a rich life, fully lived.
I am honored to bud again in age and to simply be hopeful, kindly,
cheerful, and reverent as I blossom. This is the best time of my life
for the truth is . . . as we grow older, beauty simply seeps inward.
And so it is.

- Making Life
Ok,
time to role play... imagine for just a few moments that you
ARE the one creator... you know, the mind of God that created
all things... breathe this feeling in... take a mental moment
to slip into the shoes of the One that wanted to experience its
essence outside of itself... So you set about the joy of creating
a new reality with the intention that you are going to hang out
there, in every imaginable form, for trillions and trillions of
years.
Do you think, just for kicks, you'd set it up in such a way that
you might get hurt, become less, or not matter?
Or, as the All That Is, the Alpha and the Omega, the bringer of
the dawn and each new day, would you be pretty confident that you
could craft the most spectacular paradise imaginable, flawless
in every way? Yet at the time have it possess the odd illusions
of pain, loss and your own irrelevance... to heighten suspense,
enhance the unknown, and make it one unforgettable, spine-tingling,
nonstop adventure, that will mean even more to you when you master
it again, but from the inside out?
How bout settling into Monday like you knew exactly what you were
doing? If you were the master putting his hand to this day would
you bless it and "be" with it every minute, or would
you wring your hands in desperation and moan, "I hope this
is gonna work," all the while staying as separate and as distant
as you could?
From within the scheme of enlightenment and the love of God,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
I awaken to the great thought that there is truly only One
sweet life. This body of life is all around me, and this day
I open myself up to the light of Its love. My heart fills with
peace and contentment. My mind absorbs the truth of all
universal wisdom. My body being organic God biology is
the magnificent force of light particle energy which has
amassed into a physical being under the pretense of being
a human experience. What a blessing to align with the God
Light Truth this morning.
I journey within a God-given limitless society that will give
me everything I want. All I have to do is love myself enough
to receive all of it. If it is healing, I can be the healer. If
it is a
life partner, I can be the personification of love. To find my
purpose I share my soul light with everyone I meet. In the order
of God I can have everything, and nothing, absolutely nothing
can stand in the way! And it all arrives through the wavelengths
of my thoughts. Every thought is a master builder so today I
begin to "think" my way into whatever it is that I truly
have a
passion to create/heal.
I live being healed back into the great love of God. It is so easy
to
open my beingness to it. I am grateful to be filled with the light
of
love itself, and to beam this Presence into every corner of my
world.
Altering my life experience with these highest-bound spiritual
words
I let it be so. And so it is.

- To Just Open
Once
again, I offer to you some of the jewels that spill forth from
the treasured teacher, Gangaji. (www.gangaji.org)
"
There is a dilemma in speaking to people who have been on the spiritual
path for some time and have listened to lots of teachers
speak lots of words, mostly the same words, put together in countless
different ways.
There are Advaita words and Tibetan words, for example, Zen words,
Christian words and New Age words, but they are all speaking
essentially about the living truth that cannot be captured by any
word: a truth that is alive in you.
So the dilemma in speaking to you, as representatives who have
heard it all many times, is how to invite you to stop understanding
what you've heard through your active minds' normal ways of understanding.
And rather to just open. To open your mind. To take the chance
of not understanding anything. Not to say, 'Oh yes, I know what
she is talking about because I have heard this in this place,'
or 'Oh no, I disagree with that because my first teacher said it
this way.'
To just take a chance in this time that we have together and not
compare or string together anything you hear here with anything
you have ever heard before. In either agreement or disagreement.
Then there is the possibility of hearing innocently -- of hearing
for the first time without credentials: without the burden of your
past experiences, without your enlightenment, without your ignorance,
without your past.
It's at that point the real possibility arises to receive something
that all words are grossly inadequate in describing -- an exposure,
a
transmission within ourselves -- from mind to mind, heart to heart,
that naturally, effortlessly occurs. And that is what we're here
for -- an openness to receive what is already here."
Gangaji
Los Angeles, August, 2003
TREATMENT:
The majestic sphere of Creation is celebrated in the intimacy
of Oneness. To recognize that each and every part and particle
is representative of the whole is to stand in the light of universal
wisdom. To know, that even genetically, I am the essence of All
That Is opens me to the Divinity of God's cause. I am the element
of ordained God thought enveloped as human nature.
I use universal law of cause and effect to reveal the Spirit of
this
Living Source within. I know each moment of awareness I gain
uplifts the populace of earth so I remain steadfast as I bring
the
essence, the nuance, the oxygen of God into my body, into all
details, circumstances, agendas, happenings, and enfoldments of
this earthly domain. I live the Truth of my authenticity Now! There
is nothing to gain, no more to seek on this soul path. I simply
release"
forgetting" that I am God. I commit to consciously being the
spiritual
ideals I hold so dearly. To begin each day in a place of peace,
to see
the labyrinth of Self-Soul, and of heart as clear to walk through.
This
peaceful frequency ripples out to everyone in my soul family, in
my
soul group, and to all those that are effected by the dynamics
of my
Presence.
I will do everything in my heart to bring forth this God agenda
for the
highest global soul patterns to live in their light vibrations.
I am sooo
thankful to be God's humanity, and to live it boldly and beautifully.
I am the seed source within the heart of man. And so it is.

- Divine Heritage
AFFIRM:
I AM the divine heritage.
My humanness is the most holy of instruments.
I give thanks this day for all the gifts of human nature.
I recognize that I AM the housed consciousness for the
holiness of each and every drop of Spirit.
What a blessing to be Divinity within emotions, within
physicalness, within the thoughts that enter my mind on
a daily basis.
I am thankful to be in this place, at this time, thinking these
thoughts, in this body, with such wondrous emotions!
I am grateful for it all.
Amen.

- Namaste
"Look,
and it cannot be seen. Listen, and it cannot be heard. Reach, and
it cannot be grasped. You cannot know it, but you can be it, at
ease with
your own life. Just realize where you come from. This is the essence
of wisdom."
Tao te Ching, Lao Tzu
Long ago it was customary, when encountering another, to greet
them by honoring their inward momentum as much as their outward
motion, as both were considered equal. "Namaste," accompanied
by a gesture such as a warm embrace or a respectful bow, is recognition
of the depth and the oneness of the spirit that enfolds all. Namaste
is not good morning, good afternoon or good evening. It is not
hello or good bye. It is much more than that. It is a total and
complete acknowledgement of the indwelling spirit that expresses
itself within and without form.
Namaste is as profound as the deepest well and as golden as sunshine,
but many consider it out of date. As a consequence, it has fallen
out of favor. Reduced in rank, it has been replaced by more common
and superficial greetings, such as those that acknowledge what
one has been doing with oneself of late, rather than simply being
the living word of All That Is.
So how about joining me for one day in greeting everyone you meet
in the way and words of another time and another place. Namaste!
I shall salute the being that resides within and demonstrates without.
I shall bow deeply before you, as you are among the mighty who
speak truth and stand before it, even as others would hide behind
it. You each are the ones who effect and affect change, while others
stand idle and wait to see if and when the world will change. And
to those who read these words now know that they are agents of
change, to each I say, namaste my friends.
Honored by your presence,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
God, the One source and power, is all that there is. It is the
light that is
over all things; wherever I look, it is there.
Today I consciously choose to recognize the omnipresence of God
in
everyone I meet. In friends, in family, in community. It is indeed
in the young
and the old alike. I lift my eyes and open my heart to notice this
Presence in the
world, and that as I afford it recognition It responds to me. I
believe in heart
and mind that unconditional love flourishes from man to man, woman
to
woman, and child to child. We have always been in God, and today
I declare
restoration in our ability to anchor this recognition this lifetime.
I believe that this can take form, because I know that my consciousness
is
always being worked upon by natural spiritual law. I let this law
have its
way with me, creating this wonderful world, bringing it from the
absolute
level into perfect, balanced, harmonious form. I give thanks for
my ability
to acknowledge something wonderful, and I give thanks for the Law's
ability to
make it so in every way. And so it is.

- Age Well
Age
Well. Start Now
The following piece was written by Anne Lamott who lives in Northern
California with her teenage son, Sam. Her best-selling novel, Blue
Shoe, is just out in paperback. It is a long piece but well worth
the read when you get time.
I was at a wedding Saturday with a lot of women in their 20s and
30s in sexy dresses, their youthful skin aglow. And even though
I was 20 -30 years older, a little worse for the wear, a little
tired and overwhelmed by the music, I was smiling. I smiled with
a secret Cheshire-cat smile of pleasure and relief in being older
-- 49, which even I would have to admit is no longer extremely
late youth. But I would not give you back a year of life lived.
Age has given me what I was looking for my entire life -- it gave
me me. It provided the time and experience and failures and triumphs
and friends who helped me step into the shape that had been waiting
for me all my life. I fit into me now, mostly. I have an organic
life finally, not the one people imagine for me or tried to get
me to have or the life someone else might celebrate as a successful
one, I have the life I dreamed of. I have become the woman I hardly
dared imagine I could be. There are parts I don't love, until a
few year ago, I had no idea that you could get cellulite on your
stomach. But I not only get along with me most of the time now,
I am militantly and maternally on my own side. Left to my own devices,
would I trade this for firm thighs, fewer wrinkles, a better memory?
On some days. That's why it's such a blessing I'm not left to my
own devices. Because the truth is I have amazing friends and a
deep faith in God, to whom I can turn. I have a cool kid, a sweet
boyfriend, darling pets. I've learned to pay attention to life,
and to listen. I'd give up all this for a flatter belly? Are you
crazy?
I still have terrible moments when I despair about my body. But
they are just moments -- I used to have years when I believed I
would be more beautiful if I jiggled less; if all parts of my body
stopped moving when I did. Bit I believe two things now that I
didn't at 30. When we get to heaven, we will discover that the
appearance of our butts and skin was 127th on the list of what
mattered on this earth. And I know the truth that I am not going
to live forever, and this has set me free. Eleven years ago, when
my friend Pammy was dying at the age of 37, we went shopping at
Macy's, she was in a wheelchair, with a wig and three weeks to
live. I tried on a short dress and came out to model it for Pammy.
I asked if she thought it made me look big in the thighs, and she
said, "Annie? You just don't have that kind of time." I
live by this story.
I am thrilled -- thrilled-ish -- for every gray hair and achy muscle,
because of all the friends who didn't make it, who died too young
of AIDS and breast cancer. And much of the stuff I used to worry
about has subsided -- what other people think of me and of how
I am living my life. I give these things the big shrug. Mostly.
Or at least, eventually. It's a huge relief. I became more successful
in my mid-40s, but this pales compared to the other gifts of this
decade -- how kind to myself I have become, what a wonderful, tender
wife I am to myself, what a loving companion. I get myself tubs
of hot salty water at the end of the day in which to soak my tired
feet. I run interference for myself when I am working, like the
wife of a great artist would: "No, I'm sorry, she can't come.
She's working hard these days and needs a lot of downtime." I
live by the truth that NO is a complete sentence. I rest as a spiritual
act.
I have grown up enough to develop radical acceptance. I insist
on the right to swim in warm water at every opportunity, no matter
how I look, no matter how young and gorgeous the other people on
the beach are. I don't think that if I live to be 80 I'll wish
I'd spent more hours in the gym or kept my house a lot cleaner.
I think I'm going to wish I had swum more unashamedly, made more
mistakes, spaced out more, rested. On the day I die, I want to
have dessert. So this informs how I live now.
I have survived so much loss, as all of us have by our 40s - my
parents, dear friends, my pets. Rubble is the ground on which our
deepest friendships are built. If you haven't already, you will
lose someone you can't live without, and your heart will be badly
broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over
the loss of a beloved person. But this is also the good news. They
live forever, in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up. And
you come through. It's like having a broken leg that never heals
perfectly -- that still hurts when the weather gets cold. But you
learn to dance with a limp. You dance to the absurdities of life;
you dance to the minuet of old friendships.
Younger women worry that their memories will begin to go. And you
know what? They will. Menopause has not increased my focus and
retention as much as I'd been hoping. But a lot is better off missed.
A lot is better not gotten around to. I know many of the women
at the wedding fear getting older, and I wish I could gather them
together again and give them my word of honor that every one of
my friends loves being older, loves being in her 40s, 50s, 60s,
70s. My Aunt Gertrud is 85 and leaves us behind in the dust when
we hike. Look, my feet hurt some mornings, and my body is less
forgiving when I exercise more than I'm used to. But I love my
life more, and me more. I'm so much juicier. And, like that old
saying goes, it's not that I think less of myself, but that I think
of myself less often. And that feels like heaven.
TREATMENT:
Today I awaken to the beauty of another day in ageless Infinity.
I shall mark its end by knowing I have vibrated the love of God
and radiated a holy and sacred atmosphere as my history this day.
I walk out into the world as the perfect sweetness of eternal life.
I revel in the grace and power that allow me to live well, to be
each
day a day's worth better, smarter, happier, and wiser. The truth
is
tomorrow I will be far more than what I have known up till now.
I have lived through the time when lessons came in rapid succession,
and have been the beneficiary of some of Spirit's finer cold moments.
It has all been a labor of love. I live honestly, and feel no embarrassment
that I am the object of my own affection for I have surrendered
and
become the person I most admire. As I let go of old ways of being
and
age with grace and dignity I stand anchored in that trusting Power
and
Presence that knows how to handle anything and everything that
is
going on in my life.
It makes me happy to openly accept every stage of my life from
baby to
senior. That one person can embody all these opposing forms is
proof
of miracles indeed. I make peace with it all -- gladly and tenderly.
And so
it is.

- Becoming the Blood of Transfiguration
Today
is Columbus Day, a day of discovery! I want each of you to take
this Monday, this place of new beginning, and become reverent and
present with each "thing" you do today. Become full (of
your own graces) on this gorgeous October day. For me October brings
a familiar quiet, as I enter a space between the worlds and become
more introspective. I bet you all do too. There is a hush that
descends over the earth, and autumn exhales its cool breath over
the green world and leaves fall to reveal the bare trees and the
season's naked truths. I often pause in my doing, and simply enjoy
being, I regain perspective on where I have been on this year's
journey. I divine my future, and remember my roots, ancestors and
friends who have journeyed on before me. The veil is thin, and
I feel the presence of Spirit in many forms. It is a time to seek
guidance, and balance activity with deep inner work. It is also
a season of excitement and joyful celebration as the Great Wheel
turns and life's journey continues, like a kaleidoscope of many
forms and experiences.
Take the time today to discover and feel the presence of your true
nature in your life today, and every day then you will truly be
walking with God and know that anything is possible.
xxoo,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
Imagine infinity compressing and shaping itself to somehow work
at
the gravity of matter through the concept of time, the myopia of
spatial
focus, to push around dense substance, such as thought, emotion,
and
cells simply to assist the gossamer possibilities and magical capacities
of the individual soul tucked in the pocket of God! Recognizing
this
exquisite Wholeness as the preeminent firmament that moves in and
through me as life develops an awareness of awed grace. I am blessed
with a glimpse of Spirit's complex yet effortless passage into
form. The
layers of the Whole, profound, original One playing as the wonderment
of all that is here.
In this open space of Truth, there is nothing I need to ask for.
I clearly
see the limiting, distorting, and erroneous thoughts that have
shaped
my existence as I am momentarily lifted above the constructs of
my
personal creations. Nothing is out of step, at no time have I been
looked
over or forsaken by a higher power. Graced by an infinite freeing
of
consciousness (that carries the imprint of perfection) I take responsibility
for all lack, for each accumulated failure, all wounds and distortions
sustained. I chose it all and was willingly and unconditionally
supported
by an autonomous source. Comprehending my right to become healed
and
whole and authentic I stay grateful and eager to live what matters
most t
me. I am a super-saturated aspect of God's work ready to relieve
all worries
and gain successful passage into my original pure mind, unfettered
will,
unencumbered heart ~ into my own dear Self.
I am so glad to have seen the fuller picture. To witness the consolidation
preceding the unfurling of life. Confident in my sense of purpose
I project
my existence with a freedom of knowing that can only be seeded
in vigil
with the Self. And so it is.

- The Word is Law
The
law of correspondence works from the belief to the thing. If we
believe
we shall have only a little good, only a little good will come
into our experience.
Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind Textbook
an insight by Jennifer Hadley
There have been times when I was angry at God. Angry because things
weren't going the way I wanted and no amount of prayer seemed to
be able to fix that. I felt like God wasn't listening. Maybe God
didn't care. Maybe God was punishing me.
I've realized that God has been listening very carefully and responding
to my thought the only way God can: with a resounding "And
so it is!" If I say "my work isn't very fulfilling," God
demonstrates it for me according to the strength of my belief.
If I sit down and pray for ten minutes and have a complete realization
that my source and supply is the infinite intelligence of God,
and then I get up and spend the rest of the day affirming that
I'm broke and don't know how to pay my bills, what chance does
my ten minutes of prayer have of overcoming my next ten hours of
affirmations? None.
Ernest Holmes taught us that thoughts are things. They have all
God‚s power behind them: an infinite supply! If my word is
law, then I must be vigilant in my thoughts. because everything
in my life is a demonstration of my own thinking. There is no greater
power than the power of my own thinking. My word can place me in
heaven right now or in the concentration camp of my own awareness.
I can see that it's my choice when I'm attentive to my thoughts.
God is always listening.
When I don't like the way my life looks or feels, I turn within
and look at what I've been thinking. I thank God for being God
and manifesting my word in a way that forces me to look at my thinking
and see that the discomfort I'm feeling is a direct correspondent
to my own beliefs. This is when I realize God is powerful AS ME.
I change my thinking and I change my life.
Hip, hip, hooray for Science of Mind!
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
The Infinite Intelligence that is everywhere present creates things
out of
itself by becoming the things that it makes. It does this by means
of
spiritual laws that are eternal; they've always been and always
will be.
These laws are natural, impersonal, and precise: they create from
intention.
As a part of this infinitely intelligent whole, I know
that my intentions
also create. They create my life experience, tailoring a perfect
fit based
on what I've been thinking, believing, and feeling. I use this
power of
intention to open my eyes and perceive a clear and vibrant vision
for my
life. I think deeply about the life I desire, and consciously think
and
believe in ways that naturally, lawfully produce that experience.
Rather
than just considering what needs to be "fixed",
I go even deeper...to
the Soul level of my life. I envision how I want to feel, what
I want to be
involved with, how I choose to spend my days. I consider the friendships
I
want to nurture and deepen, and those I want to include in my life.
I think
about my work, and how I want to feel while I'm doing it, and include
that
in this powerful intention. I play with ideas without limits, paying
no
attention to what has gone before; Spirit never does, and I don't
have to
either. Hallelujah, and so it is.

AFFIRM:
I know there is only One unified consciousness of
sacred expression. As God-filled Spirit functioning
with a physical overlay to play the game of duality
and separation I bring forth perfect harmony in all I
do. Perfect flow, Ease, and Comfort journey as me
because I am the pattern of the One spiritual nature
experiencing unconditional love for myself and for
all others. With a sweeping momentum of heart force
I release these words as an instrument of action to
create a blessed state of knowing. And so it is.

- Kodoish, Kodoish, Kodoish
We (Religious
Scientists) believe that God is personal to all who feel this Indwelling
Presence...We believe in the direct revelation of Truth through
the intuitive and spiritual nature of man, and that any man may
become a revealer of Truth who lives in close contact with the
Indwelling God.
"Know
ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit
of God dwelleth in you?" "God is in his holy temple." St
Augustine said that the pure mind is a holy temple for God, and
Emerson said that God builds His temple in the heart. Seneca said
that "temples are not to be built for God with stones...He
is to be consecrated in the breast of each."
Every man is an incarnation of God, and since each person is an
individual, everyone is a unique incarnation. We believe in the
Divine Presence as Infinite Person, and personal to each. God is
not a person but the Person. This Person is an Infinite Presence
filled with warmth, color and responsiveness, immediately personal
to each individual.
The Spirit is both an over-dwelling and an indwelling Presence.
We are immersed in It, and It flows through us as our very life.
Through intuition man perceives and directly reveals God. We do
not have to borrow our light from another. Nothing could be more
intimate that the personal relationship between the individual
and the Divine Presence which is both the Center and the Source
of man's being.
Whatever God is in the Universal, man is in the individual. This
is why all spiritual leaders have told us that if we would uncover
the hidden possibility within, we should not only discover the
true Self, the Christ, we should also uncover the true God, the
One and Only Cause, the Supreme Being, the Infinite Person.
Jesus taught a complete union of man with God. He proclaimed that
all men are Divine, that all are One with the Father; that the
Kingdom of Heaven is within, that the Father has delivered all
Power unto the son' and that the son thinks the thoughts of God
after Him, and imbibes Spiritual Power through realization of his
Union with his Source.
Namaste,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
In the spirit of celebration I pray this prayer today.
Kodoish, Kodoish, Kodoish, Adonai Tsebayoth.
(Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God of Hosts!) The
father's limitless love is being poured forth to saturate
the heart vessels of all living men and women. I open
to the recognition that I am to transform my being into
the greater Universe of the Spirit of His Love. I begin
this truth by a conscious alignment with the One divine
mind within the Infinite Way.
I offer my soul to the alter of the Cosmic Flame. This white
light flame of eternal purity cleanses the seals of sacred light
and sound (chakras) for the highest soul growth. I open to
the teachings of Light that I might harmonize with the wisdom
of universal creative mind. This is an intelligence that is alive
within my biology. I glimpse inward and sense the Living God
seeping through to the subatomic levels so that nuclear chemistry
and biochemistry align in a process of change that enables the
physical body to be rebuilt cell-by-cell with Light. I am a vibratory
structure of light allowing a quickening of the physical state
to an
even greater scale of creation.
I joyously glorify this communion of Light in physicality that
will
not err in executing the Father's love. I move as his spiritual
light
through Creation this day. And so it is.

- Age Well
Age
Well. Start Now
HERE ARE SOME THOUGHTS by Oprah Winfrey.
I'm turning 50 in a few months. Just saying that sentence out loud
feels unreal, like I'm talking about someone else. 50! Me?!?
Gone are the days of living to please other people and making judgments
about what others should be doing to please me. I look to the future
with a bursting desire to be more, love and live more preciously. "I
wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now," says an old spiritual.
Nothin' for the big lesson I learned time and again in my 20s:
Give up your power to no one, especially a man who's shown he cares
only about himself. Nothin' for the 30s, which taught me: Own yourself
in every way possible, so you never have to sell yourself short
or be bought by anyone. Nothin' for the 40s, where I've come to
know that becoming more of yourself is the only route to authentic,
lasting power.
Take the quote from Carol Matthau in O-to-Go. Put it on your mirror
or in your memory: "There is no old age. There is, as there
always was, just you." That's why it's so hard to reconcile
the number of your years with who you think you are. In my head,
I think I'm 38 on a good day, and hanging in around 42 on my slowest
day. No matter. I know the number is irrelevant. It's what you
decide to do with it that matters.
My friend Maya Angelou, who turned 75 this year, told me, "The
50s are all you were meant to be." I marvel at that because,
though I've accomplished a lot, I believe the best is yet to come.
There's a lot of great work to be done in the world. Whatever your
age, I can assure you that it's the best time to go about the business
of doing what you were called to do. Whether you're 28 or 88, you've
probably stamped yourself with a label. Look at the label that
comes with your age, then replace it with one that reflects the
reality of your life.
I know for sure that every birthday, you decide whether to mark
it the end of your greatest days or the beginning of your finest
hour. Your call.
TREATMENT:
Right here and now, I realize - not just with my mind, but from
my heart -
that all Life is One. I am One with the Source, and one with the
beauty of
all its creations. I am intimately connected with all Nature, all
people, and
reflect the blossoming that exists with all things.
Because this is true, I know that beauty is cumulative ant that
all healing,
improving, and transforming of my life can only bring good to the
world.
By choice, I open my heart to experience the radical oneness that
I can bring
to my life and to the world. In the smallest of moments, I perceive
that unity.
In the most trivial interactions, I realize that I am truly enjoying
every aspect
of my life. Aging gives me confidence because with time I have
gained a
broader sense of self-knowledge and self-esteem. I am simply fabulous!
In moments where my perspective gets narrowed, for whatever reason,
I
bring my awareness back to my absolute, eternal oneness with all,
and
let my perspective be radically lifted every time I look at an
older woman.
Va-va-va-voom there is the myth of God in the face of an elder.
And so it is.

- Living the Light
"Help
us, then, unburden ourselves of every disguise we wear before the
world and find strength in being what we are, Thy humble and grateful
children."
-Howard Thurman, Meditations of the Heart
Love is the greatest force of all and has the power to heal and
transform anything, from the smallest challenge in your life to
the world's largest crisis. Negating your self and your ability
to make a meaningful difference in someone's life does not bring
forth change or abundance. You must be willing to focus on your
immense power to heal in order to create a lasting, positive result
and genuine abundance. Ernest Holmes would tell us that
we do not question the staggering power of our minds as much as
we fear the responsibility from having such power.
Right now is an important time to keep in mind that we are joined
not through our bodies, but through our thoughts. And each thought
you have is either causing you to feel separated from others, or,
connected to a larger whole. It's not enough for us to join with
other Americans, for God does not distinguish between the people
from America, Afghanistan, or Japan. We must be willing to release
the man-made boundaries that exist within our mind and join with
all people and all living things.
Everything is pure energy. As powerful transmitters, we are constantly
broadcasting our beliefs into the universe. Like magnets, our thoughts
create a dynamic force field, attracting people, resources and
events into our life. Since each of our circumstances reflect our
self-perception, our lives are enhanced by focusing not on our
perceived darkness, but on our inherent light.
Never underestimate the effect your thoughts, words and actions
have on others. Simply getting quiet and saying a silent prayer
for someone can be as powerful as tithing money or donating your
time and talents. When we undervalue the importance of our efforts,
it is because we have forgotten the magnitude of our human capacity.
Each of us is a "wonder of the world" just as much as
nature's wonders. And as we join our minds, remain centered on
the light, and appreciate our life, we become miracle workers capable
of creating wondrous results.
May your gracious heart be reminded today of those things which
are truly wondrous,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
The Divine is that which connects all universes through love.
I am the Father's legacy claiming my sonship of Light this day.
The heavens rejoice as I am faithful to this human tabernacle
of
God's Word allowing the natural creation of Luminosity to
descend
into my place of expression.
I serve the Lord of Light and Heaven by attuning my consciousness
in oneness with the Christ vibration. This energy and vibarance
rises
first within the mind and ripples out to fill every molecule
of my physical
form. This precious creation of Divine Inheritance that I am moves
to a
new vibratory structure of Divine Breath, and is made
into the garment of
Light which can measure, resurrect, and reprogram all particles
of negativity
that cannot hold its image or similitude. Thus the odyssey of Source
now
indwells in every aspect of my Being. All that I AM is
in service to the Living
God of creation and by virtue of this transfiguration the whole
mind of man
receives this codification upon Earth. Where I will be one,
all are one.
This motion of going into a new image and similitude is a thankful
act carried
out in response to His commanding call! My heart opens wide with
this next
ordering of evolution and I fall graciously into this redemptive
dimension of
light which is the realm of the Christos. And so it is.

- Goals of Empowerment
Reclaiming Your Power
The path to self-empowerment is not an easy one. Here are some ideas and
suggested ways to get you started so that your unique soul path can be
outrageously more joyful !
1) Become aware of your beliefs and how they influence your perceptions. Think
about the saying: “Seeing is believing.” Perhaps it is equally
valid to say: “Believing is seeing.”
2) Become aware of your emotions. If they are anything other than enthusiasm,
what are you resisting?
3) Be willing to re-examine your past and memories you may have suppressed.
Areas of unconsciousness represent areas you are unaware of, but that doesn’t
mean they don’t influence you.
4) Be willing to walk away from situations that rob you of your personal power.
5) Be willing to let go of control over others. Trying to control others is
usually as sign of fear and resistance. We cannot be self-empowered when we
are trying to control others.
6) Be willing to feel your feelings without resistance. Embrace all emotions
with enthusiasm. When you are angry, for example, really feel the anger. When
you are in pain, be willing to fully experience the pain. Remember, it is the
judgment of our feelings that causes the resistances that inhibit our personal
power.
7) Connect with all the aspects of yourself. Get to know your inner child,
your logical adult and your spiritual or higher self. Work on integrating the
three into a harmonious unit.
8) Examine those areas in your life where you are not yet self-empowered and
see what choices you have made that you may be willing to change.
9) Know the difference between self-empowerment and self-isolation. Ideally,
when we are self-empowered, we connect more fully with others rather than less.
Intimacy is the product of two self-empowered individuals willing to be totally
seen and known by each other.
10) Understand that it isn’t so much what happens to us in life, but
how we deal with it that matters.
11) Be willing to be “cause” rather than “effect” in
your life. This means taking full responsibility for your words, thoughts and
deeds. It also means never seeing yourself as a victim of circumstances.
12) “Dance in your passion and play in your joy.”
TREATMENT:
Today I awaken with an unshakable intention: to experience my power no
matter what. Because God is the source of all things, and there is nothing
else, everything must come from this One Perfect Source. All things have their
origin in God, and this includes people, events, nature, the world...and myself.
The nature of God is perfect peace, perfect power. It is compassionate
understanding.
God is the courage it takes to go beyond the small and powerless minded
places I've
lived in before. No matter what my little intellectual opinion may be, the
choice before
me is plain. Will I live from the biggest dream I can imagine, or will I merely
repeat what
has gone before? The choice is completely mine. Spirit is yearning for me to
wake up
and say yes to the authentic power that I have dreamed of. It is looking
for ways to
expand my idea of what is possible far beyond my current consciousness. Today,
I give the Divine Creator of all life my full attention, and I let God have
its way with me.
There is nothing in this world, in any form, that can impede my divine awakening.
There is no situation, no habit, no unconscious clenching of my heart that
can
stop God from opening me up when I say yes. I'm willing to let go my powerless
ways, and I do. I'm willing to let my vision be lifted up, and it is. I'm ready
to see my divine power revealed through all people, places, things, experiences,
moments big and small, and I do. I know that I am one with God; I see this
everywhere,
I live
from this truth, and nothing is ever the same again.
With absolute gratitude and joy, I let this treatment transform my awareness
of self and Self, and let the power, passion, and presence of Spirit be my
companion from this day forward. And so it is.

- Radical Responsibility
"Earth's
crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God: But
only
he who sees takes off his shoes."
- Elizabeth Barret Browning
One of the defining characteristic of human consciousness is its
insistence on giving away its "creative authority". As
such, we're quick to regard the world, and especially other people,
as the cause of our experience and our moods. The price of this,
of course, is that we remain their effect, the unwitting hostage
of our own belief. Worse, by exporting authority in this way rather
than taking what I refer to as "radical responsibility," we
defer the unique joy and fulfillment of using our tremendous creative
power deliberately.
When will we all realize that we are a free beings, spiritual
beings having a human experience. That we contain unlimited
potential, can create our own world, and are responsible
for all events that occur in our lives! This is who and what we
really are. To the degree that one chooses to believe one is not
responsible for something, to that same degree one is enslaved
by one's own thought. The truth is that each individual is ever-changing
their own world on a daily basis.
As an exercise, why not explore taking radical responsibility?
There are two ways to do this that can bring about a dramatic improvement
in the quality of experience, both inner and outer. First assume
that whatever anyone else tells you is true. Even if you don't
like how this truth is presented, you can choose to ignore the "packaging" and
accept the gift anyway. See if you can recognize an element of
truth in whatever comes your way. Second, consider that whatever
you dislike about others is true of you, and that they've come
into your experience to show you either what you do to others,
perhaps without realizing it, or what you do to yourself. Radical
responsibility is not blame! It's the doorway to consciously creative
living.
From this Divine breathable atmosphere, I look at life and my place
in it.
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
God is all there is. I'm done with trying to fix what already exists;
where
God is, nothing can be broken. Only wholeness is present. I understand
that
this idea can't be understood by the relative mind, which finds
reasons and
rebuttals to the idea that wholeness is all there is.
But the relative mind is limited; I am free. I am free because
I know that
what I persist in seeing with my inner eye must appear to my outer
eye. This isn't a whim, but it is spiritual law in
action. What I choose to see is
what I get, so I choose wholeness.
I open myself to catch the highest vision I can, knowing that the
moment I
perceive it, the natural laws of Life are creating this vision
in form. I
don't have to know how. I choose to take the leap of faith that
does know
how to create anything I can imagine, believe in, be passionate
about, and
welcome on every level.
I'm open to receive a juicy vision for what my life can become,
and I let it
arrive in style. I thank god for this inherent creative ability
within me,
and I use it every chance I get. And so it is.

TREATMENT:
There is only one life to live, one undertaking to rally towards
with all the zest and passion your heart can give... that life
is
God's life. I have walked through many lives, some of them my
own, and I am not who I was, though some principle of being
abides, from which I struggle not to stray. (Stanley Kunitz) The
bliss of living this incarnation is surely temporary, so I embrace
each moment while I can.
Each woman must look to herself to teach her the meaning of life.
It is not something discovered; it is something molded. That
magical skill of consciously overcoming human mentality and
stepping into the Goddess Light is the blueprint I choose to
follow. I establish a reliance on an all-powerful deity that
fills me
from within and makes sure that all my efforts, however limited,
are nurtured, creative, relevant miracles of Spirit. This cloak
of
flesh affords my Soul the opportunity to be strengthened, loved,
blessed, gifted, and caressed by that greater Self-expression within.
There are no finish lines here so I can stop looking for results
and
embrace the journey as it is. The days are innumerable, and some
time in the future when looking back, I will marvel at what an
interesting
life I had and the distances I covered. And how I wished I
had realized it
sooner! I am the all knowing, perfect guru of the golden years and
so it is.

- God's Honored Vision
Let's
start this week with a brief reminder about our daily experiences,
the illusion that is in truth nothing more than a mind game that
is here to serve your soul. An experience is merely a tool for
the soul to gain knowledge. Now, let me say that again: An experience
is adding knowledge to your soul. It is not a revelation. It is
not knowing that you are a creative being. It is not saying, "I
am the reality of love." The purpose of all experience on
Earth or in other dimensions is to add knowledge to your soul.
As you gain knowledge at a soul level, this spirit has more remembrance,
more awareness of its creative power. If you could create that
experience, you would have more knowledge to create more experiences,
but that does not mean you would have more awareness of your reality.
The soul loves knowledge. The soul loves expansion, and it expands
with new knowledge constantly by experiencing. For you see, as
you experience, you are creating; and as you are creating, you
are experiencing. That is what experience is truly about. Existence
is expressing the creative process. Now when you are creating
in the ego system of illusion, you have experiences that you define,
and you define each experience by judging them as safe/not safe,
good/bad, okay, benign, reckless, careless, hateful, angry and
so on.
By defining your experiences, you are placing them in the
illusion. This is only drama. Do not get caught in the drama of
your creations. A good movie, a great drama, tells a great
story from beginning to end. This is what experience is. It is
like a movie adding to the growth of the soul. Anyexperience
you choose will add color and dimension to your soul. What
you need to realize is that it is an experience ; it is not the
reality of who you are. It is an experience, it is part of the
soul's journey, and when you become too involved in the drama of
an experience, you may lose the reality of your true identity.
Be careful this week not to abandon your true self; when you
step away from the true self you are no longer in control and no
longer coming from your true power.
Let each experience be a blessing in your Life,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
The life of God anchors love and light everywhere it goes.
To live is to experience God l 'infini and all his work.
I recognize
I am as one in the Divine Unity that unfolds to compose the
many scenarios of creation. I am a divine picture of Eternal Mind
seeded directly within the human mind.
I move as an honored visionary of God's love contributing to the
transition of global enlightenment. My soul's path is to feel, realize,
and stand tall in the reality of truth that all are the collective
power
of a Superior One. Today is a time of great opportunity ~ a realm
of
transformation, transition, and moving the planet farther into
Light.
And I do this by living and knowing that humanity is not controlled
or defined by the experiences that take place each day. I can remember
in each moment that all are the creator souls of the illusion
we call "
daily life." We are neither empowered by an experience nor
helpless
because of an experience. We are bigger than these daily illusions.
We
are the center-point, the momentum of All That Is playing a part
in
third-dimensional drama. In this place, from this vantage
point, it all
feels good. I can embrace it all; every actor on the planet. As
peace and
happiness I honor all souls, their God essence and their creativity.
As
with myself, I embrace them for the beautiful roles they are playing
in the
drama.
I give thanks for this experience. To play in the drama and choose
to love,
truly love, my whole world! That is the vibration of global enlightenment,
and the role I easily play this day. And so the experience is.
Amen.

- Beauty of god
The
best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go
outside…
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and
that God
wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
Anne Frank,
The Diary of Anne Frank
I resonate with Anne Frank’s quote because often I too step
outside to connect with the beauty of nature and to rejuvenate,
refresh and remember the truth of who I am. To be immersed
and surrounded by beauty always inspires me.
As much as I was impressed by the power of this quote coming from
a 16 year-old woman who was hiding from the Nazis while she wrote
it and who was able to stay connected to the beauty of nature and
the goodness of humanity even while her own life was in peril,
I was a little afraid to approach the backdrop of darkness and
sadness that this triumphantly healing quote rose out of. As
I look at my life now, there is less separation between what I
know and what I see. I am more readily able to go beyond
appearances and see that the darkness and the light are one. There
is so much beauty in humanity. It is through our humanity that
we reveal our divinity. It is through our humanity that we
know the eternal presence of God within us. You have to be grateful
for inspirations such as Anne Frank. Just thinking of how her
spirit persevered makes my knees wobbly. What clarity and finesse
this child had.
Open your heart to the beauty of God all around, in and through
you and let the magnificence of that beauty inspire you to see
the spiritual Reality of what Is, and not what you prefer it to
be.
My spirit soars as I bid you all ado,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
God, the One source and power, is all that there is. It is the
light that is
over all things; wherever I look, it is there.
Today I consciously choose to recognize the omnipresence of God.
It is
indeed everywhere. In this season of autumn light, its softness
fills my
days. The gentle joy of life returning to its roots again in celebratory
completion. I notice the trickling of time over that last
season of growth
has brought much knowledge. I am wiser now, another year of nature's
lifeblood sealed by the shading and hues of her harvest. I
prepare my inner
garden so that this new wisdom can live deep within me. And lovingly
this
wisdom shall respond to me, lawfully taking the content
of my consciousness
and making it into my reality.
I see with absolute clarity how fulfillment and completeness are
the gifts
that I have given to myself this past year. What I have attended
to ... I have
become. How well I see the power that my own acts have had on me;
the
places of joy, the places of misery. How easily we forget
because we have
the power to direct our attention, we have the power
to direct life.
Thank you Nature for allowing me to see the increase in love, the
increase
in connection, in joy, and good in my life in every form!
And so it is.

- Eternal Presence
We lie
in the lap of immense intelligence, which makes us
receivers of its truth and organs of its activity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Enlightened Mind
I have been privileged to travel through the lands of New
Mexico and Colorado. Recently I once again visited these sacred
vistas in dream time and I became aware, deep in my being,
of eternity.
The homes of the American Indians created high in the side of a
mountain or out in the middle of a mesa spoke to me of their spiritual
energy, transformed into dwellings. I sat in a great "kiva," or
meeting place for ceremonies and felt my heart beating with
the wisdom of the ages.
This great expanse of land was home to many diverse groups of Indians
who traveled and traded with one another, sharing their diverse
ideas and customs. They were often fine artisans, creating
knives and hammers, awls and needles. They wore garments
of cotton and created ornaments of shells, turquoise and stone. There
was decorative pottery and petroglyphs —telling the story
of their aspirations and connection to God.
I revisited the petrified forest, the evidence of many eons
exists. It is an incredibly expansive experience. No
artist could possibly recreate the patterns and exquisite colors
of the stories of climate and conditions on petrified wood. This
wood was formed 225 million years ago!
The layers of colors in the Painted Desert each tell of a different
weather system and era at work on the land. In the middle
of this vast experience of wonderment, eternity pulsates your whole
being. You know life is eternal. To take the time to
be a part of this immense intelligence and to receive the great
truths is a gift so life-affirming, it reverberates deep within
the soul.
Rum-tum-tum....how great to be energized by God's eternal presence
once again,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
There is only One, and that One is God. It is the source of
everything that
is, the creative fire, the infinite Presence that beats within
all things. I open
my eyes today and perceive this Presence within, as, and beneath
all Form.
I choose to look deeper, and see what really Is.
I know that Spirit is the source of all that I am, including what
I deeply
desire. I know that the life I am yearning to live is the result
of Spirit's
yearning to express itself as me. It has always been this way -
for all
people, so I open my life to this power, letting my ability to
perceive
the greater connection expand without limit. My mind is completely
receptive to the highest, most expansive thinking, and Spirit fills
my
mind today with all the ideas I need to do great and wonderful
things
in my life.
I let myself be drawn by what it is I truly love - my own Source
- and my
life is forever changed. I am forever changed. This world is the
place where
I have been blessed to express my truest nature, and I do. And
so it is.

- Getting a Treat
Hello
on this grand day of Alchemical Celebration! In our country tonight
millions of children will dress up in costumes and head out to
receive a bounty of goodies from all the neighboring houses. If
you tune in, you can feel the excitement. And in the grown-up world
we play with many concepts today ... we may be attending costume
parties ourselves, terrorizing ourselves, or simply communing with
the magical forces of the universe. For those of you who do not
have plans I invite you to go trick or treating with me in the
cosmos.
In just two weeks the whole globe will be gifted with a harmonic concordance.
A significant configuration of 6 stars will form into a Star of
David in the heavens on November the 8th. This particular Star
of David is very powerful since it is created no matter where you
are in the world because it only includes planets. The planets
are very close in degrees to each other. Added to this there is
a full moon and a total lunar eclipse. There has been nothing like
this in well over 4,000 years and maybe even longer.
The Star of David alignment activates within each cell of each
person. A cellular encoding identifies the day as a signal and
opportunity to move past what is limiting. Allowing humanity to
embrace the future of planetary healing with such a zest and passion
that all else pales in comparison. We each will be open to having
the opportunity to activate a unique and profound healing process
at the cellular level within ourselves. An accelerated spiritual
growth process of consciousness and physical ascension, in order
to become a Spiritual Master on Earth.
A beacon is about to be birthed and all eyes look up for the promised
sign of a future that must go beyond the predictions of the past. A
new doorway is opening, and it will be felt on all levels
seen and unseen. We cannot undo who and what we have been up to
this day and thought, but we can allow the Harmonic Concordance
Alignment to point us in a direction that leads home to our One
heart.
Instead of holding out a bag to collect goodies, open up your whole
vessel to the Tree of Life so that the Elemental, Galactic, and
Angelic Kingdoms can gift you with exactly what you need as this
date approaches. Go "treating" yourself and hold your
heart's desire within your mind's eye tonight.
Opening new seals under the great Ark of Light,
Reverend Angela

TREATMENT:
The mystical powers of the Universal Source engulf my world
as a blanket of Trust. As I walk through the land of unknown
spooks, spirits, and demons I find within myself the magic of
Self-Knowing. The spell of opening my mind and heart to a
deeper realization that I am Spirit. For Spirit is my true
form,
and the form I see in the mirror is but an intelligent consciousness
having an experience of belonging in the world.
Today I knock on the door of the Universe and claim my treat of
inherent rightness, wholeness, and goodness..... a sense of being
both blessing and blessed....totally at home in the heart of Spirit.
I understand that there is nothing to fear in the unknown. The
still, dark places of the universe contain the creative seeds of
tomorrow's experiences. These are the silent places where I can
awaken to what's going on right now. Become alive with all the
good that is here in this moment. I release anything that keeps
me
from adoring who I really am, anything that would keep me stuck
in limiting patterns or beliefs. Today I see beyond the mask and
the
costume of a human life and embrace the powerful Eternal Spirit
of Light that truely can shape all my thoughts and all my beliefs.
I give thanks for this inner celebration of holiday today, and
I know
that it always uplifts me and refreshes me to summons the power
of
my authentic Self in spiritual recognition. It brings a greater joy than
all
others. I give thanks for the invisible palpable presence of Spirit
in
my life, and for all the blessings that brings. And so it is.
