12.01.03 - You are the Devotion
Today I would ask you to each reach in and have an "embracing
experience" with yourself today. I offer here on this page
some eloquent thoughts by Pat Youngdahl, the author of Subversive
Devotions. Every spiritual journey must include the acceptance
of how God created you, and an extradition from the oppressions
of church while treasuring its gifts. A new relationship with Jesus
and God which affirms who we are and what our gifts are open a
space for the soul to meet with divine presence, even when facing
the world's hostility to the devotions that bring wholeness to
our lives.
Read on . . .
Reverend Angela
"
As I listen in churches for what is said about love, I am troubled
by how rarely we are encouraged to love ourselves. Practically
all the sermons and hymns and rituals conspire to deter us from
it. What for? Why such avid prohibition, especially since Jesus
spoke of loving ourselves in the same breath with loving God and
loving each other as the deepest calling of our lives? Maybe it's
that loving ourselves is so disruptive to our hopelessness. Maybe
loving ourselves leads to 'too much' faith, 'too many' glimpses
of how very different our life together could be ˜ so brave,
so just, so thrilling, so joyous that from where we stand now it
really does seem too wonderful to believe."
"
We are always and everywhere at our devotions. In some moments
we are especially attentive to them. When we light a candle, kiss
a photograph, scatter a handful of ashes, enter a voting booth,
or whisper a prayer, it is easy to catch sight of ourselves enacting
our beliefs and desires. But usually we are not so aware. We move
through most ordinary hours without recognizing that here, too,
or perhaps here even more, since indeed we are not watching so
closely, we perform the devotions by which we make sense of the
world and give body to what is happening in our hearts."
TREATMENT: by SOM practitioner Cynthia Shelton
There is One original creative spiritual mind practitioner
that created me to express Its truth, love, and light as me.
I claim my oneness with the Christ-consciousness of this
one spiritual mind practitioner that lives within me now. I
am immersed in God's highest vibration of light as I surrender
to the flow of this Universal rhythm of life.
I find within me, my individualized rhythm that flows in
harmony with all other individualized rhythmus in this Universal
Rhythm of life. We are all One. I ask Source to clear the confusion
in my thinking concerning giving loving instructions to others.
I now allow all others to develop their own individual strengths
and maintain a healthy consciousness of achievement. My thoughts
flow through Christ consciousness giving me new life, new ideas,
great spiritual and physical strength and love created from Its
joy.
I release into the Law my projections, my expectations, and my
reservations of other beings now. I surrender to this Transcending
Power of Unconditional Love. I live in unity with universal balance
within all environs of my life. I open to Source counseling my
efforts,
strengths, and creativity in manifesting balance. I surrender to
stepping
out and crossing over the line, beyond my dreams, beyond my drama,
and into the truth of life. I allow Source to clear confusion in
my thinking
when following my own instincts. I go deep within myself and make
my choices
and decisions from a place of power in God's Highest Vibration
of Light.
I align myself with the Rhythm of Life. I express gratitude for
God expressing Its
Joyful Purpose as me. I release these words; my heart's passions
and desires now
into the Law. And so it is done now.

- Thanking Mary
My
dear friends of light, how good it is to meet in Spirit, as we
all join together in a consciousness of inspiration. Divine guidance
and infinite wisdom are revealed through each writing. Health and
wholeness, peace and prosperity are anchored on each page. The
spirit of this wonderful Season of Lights has begun, may each message
this month radiate transcendence as every aspect of this divine
December unfolds.
Today I share with you the remembrance the two "Marys" gifted
us with -- the grandest, greatest blessing on Earth. They were
the vessels that held the consciousness to materialize one of the
great Masters to come forward and awaken within each of us that
we are Love. Their assistance in bringing this gift from All That
Is to all of us was instrumental. These two knew that Love is a
universal force of nature; it is an indestructible fabric that
stretches across all time and awareness. And they knew that, "Love
is what we are".
For their dedication and service I am so grateful. We, as a collective
consciousness, are finally embodying the law of true love and compassion
that heals and completes all things. I know as a whole, that we
each give careful, wise, and deliberate counsel to every thought
and experience because they had a mission. And that from a soul's
perspective we are very aware of the choices and intentions that
bring about the movement of life upon this planet.
The two Marys knew that Love would bring Mastership here, so please
open this December in oneness and accord with the ideals these
women gifted to us. And remember that the only way to mastership
is through stewardship. The kingdom of heaven has entrusted us
to bring the Love experience into this sphere of expression.
May I see myself reflected in your hearts daily and behold the
beauty of All That Is that is also you,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
The wings of heaven lift me forth into a new element of Love.
I cross thru a Doorway of Healing and illuminated potential to
sit with Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. I am embraced by
the higher vibration of love that these gentle souls weave.
My heart opens to new pathways of instruction. Anything
which no longer fits my new paradigm of existence is now
escorted out of my realm of experience. I see with a new
heart how beautifully love can be in every moment of Life.
It is in every joy. It is in every strife. It is in what I view
as
darkness as well as what I decree as light. It is in the fullness
of all within me that I do not love, and within my world that
I do not know how to love. No longer can these places be
stained by the injuries of incarnated love. I integrate the
Divine Female aspects of Universal Soul. Spirit hears this
divine decree and I am transformed by its deliverance of this
holy proclamation.
With a thankful honoring I live from this new elevation of Self
and Soul. I am the grandness of love that comes to heal the
scars of humanistic expression. From this sweet spot of
satisfaction I know it is so. Amen.

- The Living Embodiment
AFFIRM:
Everyday of my life is a new beginning lived in God!
Today I say 'YES' to my true greatness!
The prospering presence of Spirit is my source and substance!
A flowing river of divine love heals and blesses all of my relationships!
God is revealed through me as peace, joy, health and wholeness!
I am a living embodiment of His holy nature!
And so it is! Amen.

- What Jesus Meant
"Not
only does God speak a universal language of unconditional love,
he expects us to do no less."
" I know of no issue more tragic than our unwillingness to
live at peace with one another. Billions of dollars of resources
that could
go toward educating children (three hundred thousand of whom are
currently fighting in wars throughout the world), conquering poverty,
or curing diseases is diverted to waging the current war, preparing
for the next one, or paying off the last one .... Scientific minds
best applied to the discovery of renewable energy sources are instead
enlisted in the design of new and more insidious weaponry ....
We fight over boundaries and tribal rights, religious differences
and ancestral feuds, ideological imperialism and hurt feelings.
Sometimes, we don't even know why we fight, other than, as the
Scriptures say, "there is no peace in us."
" If we learn anything from the peace that is in us it is that
it represents the highest good to which not only persons but whole
people can be called, and we cannot be content with our own serenity
and at the same time indifferent to the swirls of anger that threaten
to rend the fabric of society all around us. To do so would be
to make of ourselves hypocrites, content to save ourselves and
lose the world. We cannot believe in the mandate of a God who is
eternally and universally loving and also believe it is a love
that could be confined to a universe as narrow as our own horizons.
Or, as a friend of mine and a stalwart member of Riverside Church's
disarmament program, once put it, 'You know, it seems to me the
guy who builds the coffins can just as easily be making baby carriages.
We were, after all, founded by a pacifist carpenter."
Excerpted from What Jesus Meant: The Beatitudes and a Meaningful Life, by Erik
Kobell.
TREATMENT:
There is only One. This One is God. This One is infinite intelligence,
absolute wisdom, unlimited power, and perfect love. This One is present
everywhere, all at once; I can never be apart from it. There is a
fundamental unity in the universe that connects all things, supports all
things, and indwells all things.
This includes me. What this means is this: everything I am, all that I
know myself to be, is God. The aspects of myself I'm ready to change,
the ones I'm proud of, and the ones I keep secret are all part of the
infinite creation of Spirit. At the root, no matter how I perceive parts
of myself, it's all God.
I leave behind the small view of what God is. Opening my eyes, I begin
to experience the presence of God in all things. I let go of my judgment
about myself and other people. I release any demand on my part that the
universe must be different than it truly is. I become joyously, totally,
and passionately dis-illusioned, and I live in truth.
I give thanks for the ability to instantly remove any veils of
separation or confusion, and see the truth with gratitude and humility.
I celebrate my relationships, as all are relationships with the beloved
in one form or another. My heart fills with gratitude for the many
blessings in my life. I am awed by the power of presence of Spirit! All
is well. And so it is.

- Season of Light
During
this special time of year some of the world‚s wisdom traditions
fill our atmosphere with joyous vibrations from their celebrations˜Chanukah,
Christmas, and Kwanzaa˜all celebrating the Light that lights
up every man, woman and child.
What would our world look like if we first celebrated the inner
spiritual message of the holy-days before we outwardly observe
their rituals˜perhaps reserving the eve of the holy-day to
go within to meditate and pray?
Have you ever thought about what Jesus is doing today? Do you believe
it is possible to attune your consciousness to his and receive
an answer? You might think my questions are odd but I know it is
absolutely possible to commune with the Christ Consciousness and
receive an answer to many of life‚s seeming mysteries. Sages,
saints and mystics have proven this possibility and have left clear
instructions for us. How easy it is to read their lofty teachings
-˜ how challenging to actually live their depth of Divine
Love. How difficult to turn the other cheek if anyone smites us.
And yet our spiritual practice is just for these purposes.
Throughout the holy-day season of Christmas, let our aspiration
be to expand our consciousness and merge with the Christ Consciousness
present in every atom of creation, within our own souls, and give
that love to all.
Loving holy-day blessings from my heart to all of you and your
dear ones!
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
This is my season! I choose to take the leap; to open my heart
and mind
to the greater possibility that is within me, waiting for me to
say YES to it. I
have opened my mind and heart to believe that the Infinite Creative
Source
in me can take this vision from divine inspiration to divine form.
I choose to let myself be drawn by the deeper love within me -
the love of
what my heart, my soul truly desires. I let go of small mindedness,
outdated
modes and models, and I let beginners mind be vitally alive in
me.
Perceiving the presence of God in all things, I lovingly acquiesce
to what
is so right now. Without having to rush off to change things or
make them
different, I stop. And I see the presence of the Beloved in all.
I court this
experience of transparent, awakened vision every day. I use the
spiritual
tools at my disposal to open up even more than I once thought possible.
From this heightened state of consciousness, I choose to commit
to my vision
for myself, my community, and my world. I don't have to hold back-
I already
know where that leads. I take the leap with absolute trust, knowing
that my
heart is open and ready for the Guest. My mind is clear and receptive
to an
awareness and experience of God.
I can see with absolute clarity, and I commit to live so this state
of
consciousness lives forever in me, blessing everyone whose life
I encounter.
I give thanks for the majesty in each moment, and I now know myself
as a
powerful blessing to this world. And so it is.

- You are the Gift
When
was the last time you thought of yourself as a gift? (Have you
ever?) Not the arrogant swagger of one who wants others to regard
him/her as "God‚s gift to the world," but rather
a humble recognition and acceptance of oneself as a divine creation
and an instrument of Spirit.
We are each made in the image and likeness of God; therefore, every
one of us is imbued with all the wonderful qualities we attribute
to God. Love, joy, peace, abundance, forgiveness, generosity, compassion˜all
of these, and more, are ours by birthright. There is nothing to
do to earn them; rather, Spirit leaves it up to us to acknowledge
and accept them.
When we realize that we truly do have all of God‚s gifts
within us, a wonderful chain of possibility ensues. In that realization,
we recognize Spirit and our oneness with Spirit. We can choose
to own that embodiment, sharing it with and reflecting it back
to others as a natural consequence of our gratitude.
Thus, our acceptance of God‚s gifts to us transforms itself
into a spiritual gift that we give to those around us. We become
active agents of God in allowing our presence and our actions to
facilitate others‚ recognition and acceptance of themselves
as divine creations and instruments of Spirit.
May we each become aware of the blessed gift of our existence and
give that gift to others.
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
The life I live today is one expression of beauty that pours forth
from
Infinite Mind. This grander creativity expresses Itself through
every
kind of existence and at its most expanded idea of form - I am
eternal
perfection. This means that no matter what the situation is and
no
matter how I express the personality self, I can never be less
than
perfect, because I am a gifted expression of Source.
Since the yearnings of my heart are God's song of potential awaiting
life
I give them dominion in my world of circumstance. Serenely I navigate
the
currents of an intrinsic knowing that recognizes and releases more
divine
wonderfulness from within the breast of me than I could ever imagine!
It is
happening today!even in the Now moment. The creative potential
for more
joy, more love, more laughter, more play . . . because I am a reflection
of
creative limitless spirit I revel in the absolute grand beingness
of me.
I open my sails of divine memory and move forward in gratitude
and confidence
listening to the One's voice that sings in my heart. I give thanks
for the
realization of Spirit that is always me. Right here, and right
now I am a divine
awakening. And so the journey is. Amen.

- The Intelligence of Me
"When
we speak the words of thanksgiving to the god within . . .
there is something in this attitude of thanksgiving that carries
us
beyond the field of doubt into one of perfect faith . . ."
Ernest Holmes
Today's message is short and simple. . .
Below is your daily "Thought Form Energy Packet". Take
it with the thankful attitude Ernest speaks of and see what happens.
Reaping the benefits of God nutrients too,
Reverend Angela
TREATMENT:
The Mind of God, being always expansive and dynamic, is forever
creating. There is a resonance within me that calls forth this
living
divinity that I may master the richness of a Soul centered life.
I
gain entry to all I desire by mentally aligning with an infinite
resourcefulness from within.
In breaking through the limitations, barriers, blocks, and obstacles
of my daily mindset I begin to transcend events that shield me
from
my true identity. I allow Spirit to propel my conscious understanding
to higher levels of comprehension. I gain the panoramic awareness
that, "I am a master playing the game from time to time of
thinking that
I am not a master". I am the master who is so creative and
so powerful
that I can temporarily play in a place where I deny my power, where
I
can say that I am the victim of another's decisions or of what
my body
tells me. I can laugh with those in the eternal realms as they
witness an
arc of Christ energy (me) having a human moment because I am getting
It!
I get It! I am a counterpiece of Universal Intelligence here to
claim my
divine inheritance as promised by the Holy Creator. And so the
moral of
the story is to openly, lovingly recognize that I am gifted with
the one
intelligence that expresses the Mind (capital "M") of
All That Is.
My heart opens wide in receptivity to the magnificence of God as
my life.
Even in times when I feel alone, when I feel I am not enough --
I realize
the Intelligence (capital "I") has walked with me. I
celebrate the goodness
this recognition releases and give thanks for it. And so it is.

- Christ Within
"And
in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city
of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose
name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin‚s
name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, ŒHail,
thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art
thou among women.‚ And when she saw him, she was troubled
at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this
should be. And the angel said unto her, ŒFear not, Mary: for
thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive
in thy womb, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His name Jesus.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David:
and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His
kingdom there shall be no end."
LUKE 1:26-33 KJV
AFFIRM:
I keep my mind and heart in alignment with the nature of
peace
by acknowledging the Christ within my being.

12.11.03
- Inner Sanctuary
From
Meditations of the Heart by Howard Thurman "The Outer Life
and the Inward Sanctuary", p. 173
Often it is very hard to realize that I am one. The outer life
seems utterly outer. It seems a part of a separate order. It is
made up of the things I do, of my relationship of one kind or another
with work, play, job, people, and things. The standard by which
the outer is judged tends to be an artificial standard, made up
of that which is convenient, practical, expedient. The outer seems
public, it seems ever to be an external net of physical relationships.
The inward sanctuary is my sanctuary. It is the place where I keep
my trust with all my meanings and my values. It is the quiet place
where the ultimate issues of my life are determined. What I know
of myself, my meaning; what I know of God, His meaning; all this,
and much more, is made clear in my secret place. It seems strangely
incongruous, often, to bring into my secret place the rasping,
gritty noises of my outer life. Again, this may be for me merely
an alibi. For I know that in the searching light of my inward sanctuary
all the faults, limitations and evil of my outer life stand clearly
revealed for what they are.
I determine to live the outer life in the inward sanctuary. The
outer life must find its meaning, the source of its strength in
the inward sanctuary. As this is done, the gulf between outer and
inner will narrow and my life will be increasingly whole and of
one piece. What I do in the outer will be blessed by the holiness
of the inward sanctuary; for indeed it shall all be one.
TREATMENT:
Through all events of life I am forever grounded in the knowing
that I rest in Oneness with the great maker of All That Is. This
great one is at the center of my Being and provides the healing
balm when outer experiences hurt. This kindness that forever
has made its home in my heart knows nothing except wholeness
and so I live as Spirit's perfection in this day and time.
With all I do, and achieve in my culture-sculpted life I am granted
the consciousness of "spirit first". I am the wave of
consciousness
that my ancestors set in motion. I move faithfully into each and
every moment of my Life alive with the knowledge that a life lived
apart from God is not worth living. I have sought the kingdom within
and have discovered the glory of its sanctuary. The pulse of my
vibration beats calmly, and quietly with the peace of inner holiness.
This purity is my strength in challenging times, my joy in the
easiest
of times. I know my life to be the revelation of what lives deep
within
so I commit to living from the inner first. The outer life bends
to the will
of the conscious thinker and creator.
Being in control of my Mind and therefore my Life is the greatest
feeling!
I am humbled to know that such greatness is tucked away within
my
reach, right in my own thoughts. Gratefully I release this concentration
of sacred energy for the production of a truly satisfying life.
And so it is.

- Season of Light
The
Seed of God Is Planted In Everyone
by TOM HARPUR
A
way back I saw the folly of believing in only one gateway or path
connecting with the mystery of God ˜ what theologian Paul
Tillich, referred to as the "Ground of all Being." One
of the wonderful things about covering religion for the Star over
the years has been coming to know and see God's likeness in people
of every faith in the world. What's more, if I were asked for my
basic sense of identity or place in the cosmos it would be first
and foremost as a human being, a dweller on planet Earth, and not
as a Christian anyway.
But, as the old country and western song has it: "Everybody's
got to be somewhere," and that somewhere ˜ religiously
speaking ˜ for me, is within Christianity. I was first born
into it. Later, though, as an adult, I thought and committed myself
to it on my own. I'm an uncomfortable Christian, perhaps, but a
Christian all the same.
The core truths that are in the Bible and that speak to me as a
man of the 21st century are not true because they are in the Bible.
They are in the Bible because they are true. They reflect the deepest
wisdom of the ages. Properly understood, they are the foundation
of human life itself.
Yes, there is much in the Bible that is confusing, contradictory,
at times even wholly immoral. Indeed, it has been misinterpreted
or wrongly applied to justify gross evils from war to genocide,
from slavery to misogyny, from self-mutilation to hatreds of minorities
of every kind.
But, most of the shadow side has flowed from human stupidity in
insisting upon literalistic meanings where 99 per cent of it all
is metaphor and imagery. Some of it is quite dated, of course.
Yet, it speaks to me more powerfully than any other voice in all
of literature, in all of human culture or learning. It tells me
the astonishing good news of who I really am, of where I originally
came from, and where my ultimate destiny lies.
And, best news of all, it does exactly the same for every single
human being who ever has or who ever will become a member of the
human family. This, then, of course, means you.
As said, I could take a dozen starting points but let me be quite
daring and plunge in at what the majority of Christians will recognize
as a fundamental passage for the faith. It's read every Christmas.
It comes in the opening lines of John's Gospel. It says that in
the beginning was the Word (Logos) and this word was with God and
indeed was part of God. It says further that this Logos was the
true light that gives light to every person coming into the world.
And then it says, this Logos "was made flesh" ˜ i.e.
incarnate.
It would take a thick book to explain all that was meant by the
Logos in the thinking of the best minds both before and after the
birth of Christianity. The word expressed the full, creative, fiery
energy of God, the drive and the rationality manifested in creation ˜and
so much more.
Much earlier, the Stoics had said that each one of us carries a
tiny seed of this Logos within us ˜ the spermatikos logos,
it was named. John says it was like a light that shines within
every human being born. Briefly put, this Gospel declares that
it is this very light, or presence, that has been "enfleshed" in
homo sapiens.
Tragically, to win the masses, the church chose to apply this to
just one man, Jesus. But, my study of the texts over many years
has shown me how fatal an error this has been. The heart of all
religion is incarnation ˜ the divine within. But, not just
in one person above all others. In everyone.
We all come from God. We bear the seed of the divine within; we
are going to God.
TREATMENT:
Spirit is all that there is; it is the form and the formless of
all
things, all people, and all creatures. It is the ocean of Being,
and it
is what I am. It is wise, loving, nurturing, and totally supportive.
It
is lawful and impersonal, yet immediately present. I am enfolded
in this
Spirit, and all that I am is one with it.
I open my heart to truly feel my life and honor its sacredness;
realizing what a tremendous gift my life is. I share this gift
with
others. I live the life I was born to live fully and without hesitation,
and I let the unlimited and overarching power of Spirit flow through
all
that I think, all that I say, all that I do, and all that I am.
My beloved Spirit, source of my life and source of every good thing,
I
know that you are always with me, always here for me, and that
you can
never leave. In this, I trust, I live, and I breathe. And so it
is.

- Individually Precious
" 'Suppose
a woman has TEN silver coins and loses one. Does she not light
a lamp, sweep the
house and search carefully until she finds it?' "
LUKE 15:8
While Jesus taught the masses, drew crowds, and gathered a great
deal of attention to Himself through His ministry, His desire was
to be a deeply personal Saviour. He was willing to step away from
the throngs of people to talk with a Samaritan woman at a well,
to converse with an inquisitive Pharisee named Nicodemus, and to
discern the heart of a rich young ruler.
Jesus came to earth to show us firsthand how individually precious
we are to our Heavenly Father. His birth was a signal of hope,
his life an expression of love. Even now, the heart of his consciousness
continues to search carefully for an intimate, one-on-one relationship
with each of us. Today give yourself the gift of that personal
relationship with the man Jesus. Use your imagination and pretend
that he is one of your companions today. What would you two do?
What advice would transpire between the two of you? What would
you like to tell this man? If you have lost your connection to
the consciousness this man was trying to impart while here, now
is the time to light the lamp and start searching for it.
In Peace,
Rev. Angela
TREATMENT:
I radiate the deep abiding Presence of the One original life
on the December morning. At this time of year when all are
preparing to re-commit to the Christ Self, I know my truth
is simply to turn inward and celebrate the Christ within. The
Christ that has always been there.
I choose this day to make the man Jesus proud of me by living
all that he brought forth into Earth. Love, kindness, peace, mercy,
compassion, and wisdom are the first qualities I invoke today.
My
heart know only love in each and every moment. My intentions,
words, and communications are filled with kindness. I draw on
universal intelligence to remain centered and gain wisdom from
any
experience that challenges me. With these comes compassion and
peace,
for all that I need to comfort me is delivered from within. My
friend Jesus
delights in my discipleship of his word. I invite him to walk with
me this
day so he may know how fiercely he did indeed affect the whole
of
mankind. We are better, richer, brighter, and more soul-connected
because of his incarnation. So yes, by all means; by every means.......
I celebrate the Christ today!
I am forever grateful to all the illumined souls who came to this
world
as prophets to reveal and demonstrate the One life of truth. Their
lives
have served to inspire mankind to align with the highest power
within.
I am their heritage. I am proof that we got "it." I mirror
the benevolence
and intelligence of the Creator. And so it is.

12.16.03
- Everyone is Doing It
In Religious
Science we believe in an innate Intelligence, or Principle, that
is dependent upon nothing except Itself. It created everything
in the Universe and so each and every creation that participates
within Its life is divine, perfect, and blessed. This Principle
(God) never denies Itself and never contradicts Itself. Everything
comes from this one Infinite Mind, and so everything that is, is
an act of divine Manifestation. And if we are created in the image
and likeness of this Intelligence then everything within your individual
infinite mind also produces divine manifestation. Because the Principle
works through you, your definite concepts produce a form that is
manifest in substance and is a physical manifestation of what we
call matter.
And everyone is doing it. Creating. We are all endowed with a personal
sense of God, albeit we each have our own interpretation of how
we should give Life personality. The Infinite personalness of that
Being is our source and we must proclaim it in everyone if we are
to see it within ourselves. Today recognize the one universal consciousness
embodied through all life and you will come nearer to the cosmic
understanding of Life than anybody else.
In Peace,
Rev. Angela
TREATMENT:
There is only one mind, one life, one intelligence, and that Life
and
Intelligence is operating in every part of creation, all the time.
There's no part where it is deficient or lacking; it's everywhere,
all
at once, in all of its power and all of its creative abundance.
The truth is, whenever I recognize actions that appear less than
intelligent (in myself or others), what I'm seeing is an illusion.
The
Truth is infinite intelligence, everywhere present, is always at
work.
There's no one that's stupid or slow; it's all intelligence manifesting
in one form or another. This intelligence doesn't always show up
as the
ability to answer correctly on multiple choice questions; it doesn't
mean that I have to know x, y, or z to operate intelligently in
my life.
Whenever I feel that I've been disconnected from this intelligence,
for
whatever reason, I know that it's an experience of Divine Intervention
that's awakening me to see just what I need to know. It's Intelligence
at work, becoming more fully manifest and embodied in my life and
in
my understanding.
Wherever I've made mistakes or hurt other people, I make amends
as best
I can and make a new choice in Mind. Where I've erred or hurt myself,
I
operate with the same tenderness and forgive. Spirit knows how
to wake
me up to precisely what I need to know to live consciously, joyously,
abundantly, and intelligently. I let it do it, and walk the path
with
confidence and with trust. And so it is.

- Host of Love
AFFIRM:
I am a host for the Host of Love Intelligence
that assembles within the heart of every man
at this blessed time of year.
My consciousness spreads w i d e with the
gift of divine connection - so wide that It's
very presence engulfs and transforms even
the smallest atomic particles within my domain.
I am the true gift of Spirit this season and I
am grateful for the infinity of opportunities
to be such a carrier medium this day.
One by one, love touching love, we
move into the Higher image and likeness
of God Intelligence. And so it is.

- Wonderful Life
It's A Wonderful Life!!!
TREATMENT:
Spirit is the infinite ordering presence that is always in harmony
with
itself. I am part of this infinite spirit, being created out of
it, and
therefore I am always in harmony with everything in my life. While
this
may not always seem to be so on the surface, and appearances offer
the
distraction of disbelief, the deeper truth is that I am at one
with the
intelligence, power, wholeness, and abundance of life.
There is a deep harmonizing influence which permeates all that
I am. I
accept this influence, allowing it to take everything in my life
experience
which truly belongs there and bring it into perfect right relationship.
And
I allow it to take everything in my life which no longer harmonizes,
and
let it be dissolved, released, and transformed.
I give thanks for this perfect alignment of body, mind, and spirit.It
is
a wonderful life and I celebrate it fully. And so it is.

- Season of Light
Millions of people in many parts of the world are now turning Godward
and sharing their loving feelings and actions with others. Let
us be united with them by radiating our own prayerful thoughts
and compassionate feelings of good will to everyone. While being
thankful for the blessings you have, please remember those in your
community who are not as fortunate. Reach out to them in practical,
helpful ways to lift their spirits and let them know you care.
Remember, too, the more than one billion people in the world who
are barely able to survive and the many more who lack peace of
mind because of global unrest. Although we cannot touch them all
in a personal way, we can consciously blend our God-awareness with
the collective consciousness of the planet's inhabitants -- and
by so doing be a conduit through which the highest good can more
easily express.
The Power and Presence that animates and maintains the universe
is around and within you. Cooperate with It by nurturing your spiritual
awareness, cultivating absolute faith, and performing wisely chosen,
effective actions that produce ideal results.
For Christmas I see you each consciously living, now, as the immortal
spiritual being you really are!
It's in you,
Reverend Angela

FULLNESS OF LIGHT
The Light of Life is full within me and around me.
It shines forth into the Perfect Day.
O Light within, lighting my path to peace,
I adore and love You and I let You shine.
Go forth and bless all who come to You, Light within.
My Light radiates to all and through all.
My light has come.
THE RADIATION OF LIFE
The life of God within me radiates and shines forth from me in
a
constant stream of Light to all. The One Life flowing through me
is Life
to all who come near. The One Power operating through me is flowing
into
everything that I contact. Life radiates from me.

- The Soul's Duty
"It
is the Soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon
itself to its master passion."
- Rebecca West
TREATMENT:
There is one life, that life is God's life, and that life is my
life
now. I am one with the life of God because I am made out of it.
What
this means is that I am made of Godstuff! I think about this deeply,
understanding the full impact of what this means. Everything I
am,
whether I call it good or bad, is the pure divine essence of life
in form.
I awaken to the December divinity within me, this Christ nature
that is my source and my truth. While it may be temporarily covered
up
or hidden, it is always there, always blazing its divine light
within.
Like clouds parting before the sun, I let my light shine in the
world. I
conscious bring this divine essence into my work, into my relationships,
into my everyday consciousness.
This awakening in my mind and heart, this spiritualization of my
perspective, works wonders. I experience the grace and power of
Spirit
in all situations. I experience it at work in others and at work
in me.
I see evidence of this pure and holy wholeness everywhere. I see
the
Christ Consciousness blazing in every corner of the universe. I
thank
God for the ability to awaken in this way, and I let this awakening
continue every day of my life. And so it is.
