“Sometimes I think 6 impossible things before breakfast!” – Red Queen in Alice in WonderlandRev Martha Quintana is Senior Minister at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico

The Universe holds nothing against us. No matter how many mistakes we have made, we are still perfect beings within, and the within may become the without, if we will carefully train ourselves to listen the inner voice of truth which speaks to us in our moments of quietness and solitude.
There is nothing in the Universe that wishes evil to anyone. Indeed, it is only s we experience good that God is expressed through us. The more completely we realize good, happiness and success, the more perfectly do we express God and the more of God do we become, that is, the more does God become personified through us.
As the prodigal returns to the his father’s house, so must we return, not with a morbid mind, but consciously and definitely, with direct intent and a complete concentration of purpose, The journey should be fraught with happiness and joyful expectation for we shall be met with a smile from the Universe and shall be folded in the arms of love forever.
Ernest Holmes – Founder of our philosophy and Author of “Science of Mind”
Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico
No matter how great a responsibility may rest in that which must be done, never let one moment’s responsibility rest in your own thought about it, because that to which the mind gives birth, is, and every idea is bound to produce an effect exactly like its cause.
When we make a demonstration, we must take what goes with it. Therefore all demonstrations should be made in peace, confidence and joy, an in a realization of Divine Love and Perfection permeating everything. The reason for this is evident, for we are dealing with the Law of cause and effect. We are not depending upon chance but upon the Law. The responsibility of setting the Law fin motion is ours, but the responsibility of making It work is inherent in Its own nature. We must know that we re dealing with the Substance from which all things are made. Nothing moves but Mind, and we are dealing with the Mind that is the Mover, the Creator, the Cause of all that is or is to be. We should sense that back of the word which we speak is the Power of the Universe, surging to express Itself. Then speak the word consciously, knowing that it is Law.
Ernest Holmes – Science of Mind page 305
Therefore, I acknowledge and declare to myself that there is one power of everything. That power that I call God, creates everything. That power created me to experience this life for it.
I am one with that power and I know that as I speak my word into the Law, it is made manifest.
I declare that abundance and prosperity are mine, right now. I declare that I need not know how this will happen, only that the Law into which I speak these words, must make this a reality.
I am so grateful that this is the Truth and I give thanks. I , now let it go, knowing that it is done.
I say, And So It Is!

I would say that it is a safe bet that you do not like to do either of these things. Neither did I until I moved to New Mexico. We are in a county area which is not in the city. Every spring, rattlesnakes like to come from the empty land and into our property. I got to learn a new skill. I created a makeshift loop with a piece of PVC and rope which kept me at distance and actually made it easy to get hold of the snake. I didn't feel a need to kill any of the snakes, so I would take a walk behind our property and then let it go.
I know that your asking, what the heck does that have to do with SEO (Search Engine Optimization)? As I mentioned, most people do not like to do either thing, but I do. I create websites for clients and use Wordpress as the platform. I create great websites for them but when it comes time for them to keep the websites updated with content and making the content SEO friendly, many do not have the time to do that and do not have the budget to pay someone to do it for them. The website is great but it is hard for them to get traffic to it. Granted, you can use paid ads, but that can be expensive.
So, I started searching for a way to get my clients websites traffic in a way that the traffic would be consistent and evergreen. It took me a while, but I did find a program that would fit the bill. To keep it simple the program allows me to create massive web pages that we call Universal Recommendation Pages.
Getting back to SEO, I could do a good job with the websites and have the right plugins to help the client with SEO for each page that the clients created. The problem was the SEO was only for maybe 1-3 keywords for that page. As you can probably figure out, it takes a lot of page/posts to be able to cover as many keywords as you can think of for a particular niche.
This is where the Universal Recommendation Pages shine. I create completely separate websites and each page spotlights 2-9 keywords. Over time, thousands of pages can be created. These pages have a focused design where there is a header picture and a link right below that picture. When anyone clicks the link to one of the pages they will see, front and center, the header image and the link. The header image is clickable, as is the link and they direct people to your website.
With SEO, one must follow certain rules in order for your pages to get indexed by the search engines. The Universal Recommendation Pages are based on those rules. That is the reason, number one, why they get indexed and number two, why over time they move up in the ranking of the search. The more pages one has working for them, the better the ranking of those pages and the likelihood that people will find them when they are searching.
As I mentioned, these Universal Recommendation Pages are completely whitehat, which means they follow the rules of the search engines. That also means we do not have control of how fast the pages will be indexed. It can happen quickly or it may take up to three months to have some of them indexed. That is up to the search engines. When your purchase any of our packages, we make sure that you get a certain number of pages indexed. So, we will probably created more pages than you purchased to make sure you get all of the pages indexed.
Bottom line, the Universal Recommendation Pages get indexed, get ranking and have many times dominated the first page of the search engine. By doing that, your website will have an increase in traffic which is the goal.
While rattlesnake wrangling did not have too much to do with SEO, I think that it shows that I am willing to go the extra mile to get any website more Traffic, which will lead to more Leads and then more Sales.

“Listen to the inner voice and declare Its Presence”
Ernest Holmes
About two days ago I was listening to one of my favorite singers, India.Arie, as she was being interviewed by Oprah. She talked about her inner journey and how she listened to everyone but herself. As her life changed, she begun to realize her true guidance came from within herself. As a matter-of-fact she prayed to follow her soul (Inner voice) 100% of the time. I was moved and encouraged by this interview!
I am fully aware that the Spirit of God, which is my inner voice, is alive, conscious, always active and lives within me as Divine Guidance. As I quiet my mind and listen to and follow this guidance, my divine right action is assured. It is the Light of God shining on my pathway that illuminates every step that I take, allowing me to avoid all pitfalls. I trust my Inner Voice, for it is the voice of God, my Inner Self! And so it is!
Lovater H. Jones is a Practitioner at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico
“Transformational nourishment means that our bodies, hearts, minds, and spirits are open and willing to take in the nourishment that’s offered. To do this, we have to believe that we are valuable and worthy to receive.”
— from If the Buddha Came to Dinner
I have committed to the regular, daily practice of paying attention. I realize how essential it is to live with a sense of purpose, focus, love, and passion for my life; and how nourishing myself transforms everything else around me. The awareness of nourishment is my primary practical application and spiritual practice of the principles of Science of Mind.
What I know for sure is that God is everywhere present. There is One Ultimate Reality. That Reality is Pure Goodness – Spirit acting through Law to create all that is Good and real in my life.
Immersed in the Perfect Mind of God, I draw upon Spirit now and allow Spirit’s wisdom to guide my word of Truth for I Know without doubt that I am created in the image and likeness of the Divine and therefore I am whole, perfect and complete. And knowing this to be true for me I know with certainty this is true for you as well.
I claim that everything Good comes to you, that each day brings great joy and happiness; that every morning finds you filled with light and courage; and that every evening brings great peace. I know with certainty that health and success are yours; that love and friendship walk with you and that you are sustained now and forever by the Power of the Universe running in through and around you.
And knowing that my every thought creates my living, breathing reality, I am nourished by the perfect individualization I experience in every person I come into contact with. This nourishment is the Mind of God in action.
My heart is filled to overflowing with gratitude and therefore I release my Word into the Law knowing it cannot come back to me void. IT IS DONE! IT IS COMPLETE! AND SO IT IS!
Joy Lynn Hertz is a Practitioner at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico
I seek refuge in the energy of the Divine. I call It forth knowing that as I do, the Divine arrives in all of Its Glory, Beauty, and Peace. I bask in this Peace and know myself even better. I invoke and evoke the Divine and know that my own sacredness has been invoked, and it’s from this invocation that I pray my prayer.
I am the Divine Givingness of God feeling happy and whole. I am the Goodness of Grace finding itself again and again and as I love myself, I find the courage and empathy to love others. I find that absolute energy necessary to love my life with all my heart and these realizations leave me further in love with God – still. I am that hope, I am that dream, I am the love of life, again and again. This beautiful grace that surrounds me, is part of me, creates in me, and loves me. I am whole and I am blessed.
Recognizing this, I affirm and declare the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living is a place for all of us to find our own wholeness. Every single person who walks through our doors, who participates in leadership or as a volunteer, is refreshed. Any time the dark night of the soul returns, we turn to each other for solace. Truly each of us knows that the faith we seek in each other is a faith that we already hold.
I affirm and declare health – every idea, person, place, or thing that has poisoned our beings and contributed to the sickness flees our being and we are left whole. I affirm and declare abundance – every idea that has robbed us of our good now leaves. I affirm and declare love – every idea that has left us feeling lonely or abandoned no longer has room in our beings. I declare these things and know it is so. No thing unlike the Divine can withstand the sheer force of Love. I am loved this deeply.
I give thanks. I am grateful for my entire life, for my loved ones, for the Rio Grande Center, and most of all, for God who gives without reservation. Thank you. It is done.
And So It Is. Amen.
Rev Martha Quintana is Senior Minister at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico
“Within Thy Law Is Freedom”
“Oh, My Soul within me,
Great is Thy Presence
Within Thy Law is freedom
to all who will believe.
I believe in Thy Law
and I love Thy precepts.
I know that Thy Law is perfect
and It is a delight to my Soul,
for It is illumined
with Thy Words of Power.
Thy Law is complete freedom to me,
and to all for whom it shall be spoken.
I speak the Word of freedom to all,
and all shall receive it.”
Ernest Holmes “Science of Mind” p335
When it comes to manifesting anything on this Earth plane one must be aware of God’s Law. When we think and speak our words with passion they move from the Spirit within us to God’s Law. God’s Law is has no volition to do anything but create that which is being specified when we speak or think. Now the Law gives us great Freedom but only if we are aware that the Law is absolute and that it creates no matter what goes into it.
There is a saying about computers, ‘Garbage in, Garbage out’. This is true with God’s Law. If we think or say words that we really didn’t want to manifest, the Law has no choice but to act upon those thoughts and words. If I allow myself to have stinking thinking, then I cannot be surprised that my outer life reflects that back to me.
On the other hand, that same Law, when it is fed with the proper thinking, the proper words and the thinking and words have passion and love in the mix, the Law has no other choice but to create for us a magnificent outer Life. It is all about our LOVE, THOUGHTS AND WORDS and the Law does the rest.
So, now I give thanks, knowing that my thoughts and words are only about what I want for myself and for others. I am so grateful for the LAW, because it gives me freedom and takes the worry away. I am so blessed.
And So It Is!

I have need of many things and as a Religious Scientist I do not believe that Divine Spirit wishes to hold anything from me. It is the nature of God to give, and it is my nature to receive. I know all I have to do is ask and then gratefully step into the flow of my good to receive. God has never failed me, but I have failed to accept the gifts when I fail to enter into the spirit and nature of the one true Giver. How can God give me what I refuse to accept? Through my active faith, my positive conviction, I know that there is Something that responds to me gladly readily, willingly, joyfully, and without limit.
So today I am living in the quiet and joyous expectation of my good. God is my life; It is the substance taking form in everything I do, think, and have. Spirit is acting through me now. I know that God is the only Giver, and the only Gift. This Gift I receive joyously and with gratitude. I expect everything I do to prosper. I have new and wonderful experiences in my life. I know that the kingdom of heaven is here right now and that I succeed in everything I do. There is no lack, no limitation when I am one with Spirit.
And so it is.

We have thought that outside things controlled us, when all the time we have had that within that could have changed everything and given us freedom from bondage. – Ernest Holmes
On Independence Day as we celebrate our country’s freedom from outside rule, I offer my gratitude and praise to the Author of Freedom for all Its good gifts. I acknowledge Divine Source as Wholeness, Goodness, Love, Prosperity, Protection, Defense, and Peace.
As I contemplate this idea of Freedom in the context of Wholeness, I understand that I am and all are the essence of the Good, Whole, Free Life. As we acknowledge the freedom inherently at our core, the Author of Freedom acknowledges us, melting perceptions of opposition and releasing us to choose the ways of mutual happiness. I speak to the Rock Core of Freedom and call It forth that each might pursue and share a more perfect union. I declare an awakening to spiritual vision and a chain reaction of right thought, speech, and action establishing a high, first cause of peace and plenty. I declare that the I AM of Freedom moves inevitably through us to will and to do that which is in alignment with the Common Good. I give thanks, and I praise Spirit in advance for Its accomplishment of this work, generously meeting the need of each individual and uplifting the whole of life. With a glad heart, I plant this word in the field of spiritual law knowing it is done in Divine Good Order. And so it is.
I am free with the freedom of God. But liberty is not license. I am not free to contradict the Divine nature. I am free only in the freedom that God is … to be alive and to enjoy life, to love and to be loved, and to give full and complete expression to every capacity I possess – provided that it harms no one and hurts no thing. — Ernest Holmes

God is the Alpha and the Omega, it is the Peace that Surpasses all Understanding, it is the Love that is the Foundation, the Creator, the Joy of all things. It is more powerful than anything !
And as I am a part of the macrocosm, a piece of God, I know that I am the Peace of God. I allow the Divine Tranquility to fill me. God’s Loving Calm flows through every particle of my being. In enfolds, surrounds and encompasses me. It is written in my heart and inscribed in my DNA. My entire vibration is that of GOD, and that good orderly direction is the foundation of my life.
And I know this for me, I know it for each person reading these words, for each person in existence has sprung from God. I affirm and declare that whatever circumstance may arise, Pure Peace is at its core. Ideas of lack, anger or fear fall away and the Truth in its glory is revealed! Love is within every interaction. We live in a Beneficent Universe and God always says YES! Freedom, Peace, Prosperity, Love and Perfect Health are our birthright.
I am so grateful for this Word, for knowing this Truth, for the presence of Spirit in my Life and for the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living.
And I release this prayer, knowing it is done!
And so it is!
Maria Dion is a Practitioner at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico
I have my Being in God as part of the One perfected Life. There is only One thing occurring and that is the expression of Gods life through each of us. This life is complete in every way. This life encompasses all the options for health, happiness, forgiveness, abundance, kindness and Love. These are eternal qualities of God and show up in every experience.
These are the characteristics of my life that occur through my consciousness. God happens through me and you. There is no part of my individual life that is not a part of God. There is no escaping this as every breath I take is God breathing life into life. And because this is true for me it is also true for you, and everyone. This Truth is Universal.
And so it is in this moment that nothing is by accident and everything originates in Love and a desire to travel home to the Source of all our good. Everything comes from and returns to God and each individual Life expresses a Perfect thought and action of the Divine. I am never separate from my Source and I am never off the path. I bless every moment, every breath, conversation, encounter and action of this and every day as it is only Good. I unfold daily in a deeper understanding of my relationship to the cosmos and I embrace the Truth of me.
My gratitude runs deep as I recognize my support from the Universe for my perfect journey. I am grateful for this experience and every person in it. Thank you life.
Knowing my word delvers the truth of my experience, I release any attachment or need into the Law resting well in the comfort that thy will be done. My word creates my world in absolute perfection.
And so it is.
Glenn Buckland is a Practitioner at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Isn’t that what we are all looking for as marketers? Think about it. I know that I have a website that I need more traffic and sales. Do you have a network marketing website that could use more traffic? How about your offline business? Do you need more traffic to it’s website? This is about my search for something that could provide me with constant traffic, leads and sales.
I have been creating websites for clients for quite a while and although they are optimized to get traffic they still need a lot care and time. My clients are working their business and most do not have that time, nor do they have the budget to have someone do that for them. Deep down I knew that there was a program or an application that could solve this issue.
My search took me over a year and that was just weeding out the programs that really did not do what they said. I still kept searching and I found what I was looking for. The next problem was that the application had a fairly steep learning curve at the time. It has since been upgraded, but I am glad that I was able to preserver and learn the application because I know it so much better than if I were to start now. If you feel up to the task of purchasing it and learning, you can contact me for more information.
So, I have spent the last year or so, very part-time, learning to use the application. I have to say that it comes very close to being a Perpetual Traffic Machine.
The application creates what is called Universal Recommendation Pages that are:
The program allows us to create massive websites of these Universal Recommendation Pages.
Another powerful application of the software is to geo-target certain city, state pairs.
The more Universal Recommendation Pages that are added to the website makes the website stronger and stronger.
The Search For Perpetual Traffic is Now Over!

Some days, I am seduced by appearances and on those days it is especially important for me to remind myself that there is only One. This One Source, which I call God, is Fearless. Being All, It can never be mistake Itself for anything other than what It is and what It is Love. It recognizes Itself everywhere, for It is in everything. It permeates every situation, every appearance. In all of it, God, the Divine, Spirit is there. In all of it, Love is the constant. It is Perfect. It is Perfection and in every situation, in every appearance, Love resides. God is Fearless, for It recognizes Itself everywhere.
And I know that the Love of God, the Fearlessness of God is the truth of who I am. I feel the Love that beats my heart. I feel the Love that guides my soul. I align myself with That. I allow in Its goodness. I breathe in Its perfection. I recognize that I can never lose my way, for God leads me. I breathe in that knowingness. I relax into that comfort. I am NOT seduced by appearances.
For in this moment, right here, right now. I claim for myself the awareness that I am always loved. And I claim that as well for everyone, for all those who read this, and for all those who don’t. I claim for them, as I claim for myself fearlessness. I am a divine being. I am God’s anointed one. I am a light for the world. And in this knowingness, I find all the answers I’ve been seeking. For God was always there. God was there in my friend’s surgery. God is there in her recovery. God is with me when I lose my way and think that what I am looking at is anything but perfect. When I am seduced by appearances, God is still there and I have only to remember and turn towards that to find the blessings that were and are ever present. God was always in all of it. The game is rigged. I can never be lost. I may frighten myself. I may think that things are not working out, but if I think that, then I have allowed myself to be seduced by doubt. I can choose again. I DO choose again. I choose Love. I choose knowing that God is in every situation and God is never in doubt. God is never lost. God is never in rejection for He recognizes Himself everywhere, and loves all His creations.
So today, I affirm for myself and for everyone I know, for everyone I don’t know, I affirm truth. I affirm the constant knowingness that I live in Love. I live in Perfection. Health is my birthright. Wealth is my birthright. Happiness is my birthright. Peace is my birthright. Whenever I encounter situations that frighten me and lead me to doubt, I remember who I am. I remember how much I am loved. I remember that the game is rigged. I cannot lose my way. If I think I am lost, I choose again. I choose Love. I discard fear. I am fearless.
And I give thanks. I give thanks for being in community, where I am surrounded by those who will remember who I am if I should forget. I give thanks for teachings that remind me of my truth. I give thanks for the realization of our Oneness that allows me to hold space for others to remember who they are that we might all celebrate in Love, experiencing the Peace of God in every corner of our lives. I give thanks for I am eternally grateful.
And I release. It is done. It was done the moment the moment my desire was born and so I let it go in faith. God all had it covered. The game is rigged. I live in perfect love. I live in God’s constant embrace. And So It Is! Amen!
Nancy Bowers is a Practitioner at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico
There is one Life so Beautiful and Good that that mere alignment with It brings peace. I declare Peace and I declare Life. I declare Beauty and declare Life, and I declare Good knowing that I declare Life. So this day Life is the order of the day and I invoke it so purely, so beautifully that all I know is Life.
As I invoke Life, I invoke my own life. I align with this Life so perfectly that it washes away anything unlike itself. I stand in its presence and know myself even better in truth, beauty, abundance, health, happiness, and love. I am life and it knows itself in my life through me. As I know this for me, I know this for everyone who reads this prayer.
Knowing this I affirm and declare faith. All appearance of anything other than life is only appearance. Truth is life is behind any and everything, and all is working to my highest good and the highest good of everyone around me — no matter my experience and no matter the perception of my experience. With every hour and every day, I grow deeper in peace and love. Peace guides my way and love rules my thoughts.
I am so grateful. I am grateful for this spiritual community called Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living and I am grateful for the greater spiritual community called Centers for Spiritual Living and her leaders – Kenn Gordon and John Waterhouse. I am so happy that my friend Jennie’s health is restored and I am grateful that all members of our community are the people God intended them to be. Thank you, Good. Thank you, Life.
I release this prayer now knowing all is well. And So It Is. Amen.
Rev Martha Quintana is Senior Minister at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico
I pause in this moment to recognize Spirit, the life ever present, as the Life which expresses Itself as me. as well as through me.
This day I give thanks for this Life, recognizing that all have been chosen by Spirit to share Its bounty. The gifts of Spirit come alike to all and enrich all life. The gifts of love, compassion and joy are shared by all and given to all…………..in grace and joy. I celebrate the infinite dimensions of diversity in all races and my every experience is love and joyous expression, allowing me to deepen my relationship with the Presence within me and all life.
In deep and abiding gratitude I give thanks.
And so it is.
Rev Bonny Allen Rice is a minister at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico
As I sit here this morning I am thinking of a dear friend who is going through a very difficult time right now. She is a woman of strong faith, but during this time of crisis she finds it very hard to remember her connection to Spirit. So, she reaches out to all of her friends and family who know her Truth and can hold that for her. When I look at the mountains that she has already climbed and the hurtles she has yet to overcome, I see her strength of character. I am reminded that we are never alone. God always resides deep within us. As a great man once said, “We do not open our hearts to let God in. We open our hearts to let God out.” So, my prayer today is for my friend.
I absolutely know that there is one Truth….one magnificent Source…….one great Power in around and through all things. I choose to call that source God. We are always and in all ways completely immersed in God’s love.
I know that I am one with that Source. I am always directly connected to God’s love and power. My thoughts are God thoughts…….my words are God words. I am God in form walking this earth. And as I know this to be true for me, I absolutely know this to be true for my friend. She is always directly connected to God’s love and power. Her thoughts are God thoughts…….her words are God words. She is God in form walking this earth.
I now affirm for her……perfect health and healing. I know that she is cradled in God’s loving, healing arms. I affirm that her spirits are high and she knows and feels her direct connection with God at all times. I know that she is blessed with loving friends and family who encourage and support her. She moves forward with courage, strength and grace fully knowing that she is never alone.
I am so grateful for this knowing. I am grateful for the teachings of Science of Mind that allow me to know that we truly can co-create our lives. I am grateful that this connection with Spirit is available to everyone. I am grateful for my friend who is a beautiful manifestation of God’s love and grace walking this earth in form.
So, with a grateful heart, I release these words fully knowing that they are already manifest and cannot come back void.
And so it is!!
