I Am Truly Blessed

I Am Truly Blessed

Kamatara Johnson, Practitioner II Student

I recognize the presence of the One Loving Source, the All-That-Is, expressing in this life as we know it. This Divine Vibration is God, and God is all love, creativity, order, and harmony. God is the abundance in the unlimited potential of the universe.

And I am one with God. I am aligned with the Divine that is the presence and power within me, that expresses as me. There is no separation as I behold my whole and complete self, perfect in the One Loving Source.

In this place of knowing, I affirm the Truth. I know that I am Divinely guided as I release what does not serve my best and highest good and I accept what does serve my best and highest good. With complete confidence, I allow the Divine flow out and in. I welcome new opportunities from expected and unexpected sources. I open myself to consciously expand in my own expression of the Divine. I open my mind and heart to the unlimited potential that is mine. I am strongly rooted in the Divine and my path is clear.

I give thanks for the loving support and comfort of the Divine. I’m so thankful for how the universe is stacked in our favor, ready for blessings all the time. I also give thanks for Science of Mind that gives me the tools to deepen my conscious expression of the Divine that outpictures as my life. I am truly blessed.

So, I surrender this prayer to Divinity and allow its manifestation to be complete and perfect. With great confidence, knowing that my word is already active in the Law, I release it and let it go. And so it is.

The Power of I Am

Posted by Richard Mathiason on January 2, 2014 at 7:46am

The Daily Meditation 1.02.2014

The Power of I Am

Richard Mathiason, Technical Director

An exercise that I do if I am feeling off center is to say I am’s. It is quite simple but very powerful.

I go through the alphabet and it goes like this.

I Am Abundant. I Am Blessed. I Am Creative. I Am Divine. I Am Enough. I Am Fantastic. I Am part of God. I Am Happy. I Am Inspired. I Am Joy. I Am Kind. I Am Love. I Am Magnificent. I Am Necessary. I Am Open at the Top. I Am Prosperous. I Am Quiet. I Am Responsible. I Am A Success. I Am Truth. I Am Understanding. I Am Valuable. I Am Wonderful. I Am more powerful than Xmen. That letter is tough. I Am Youthful. I Am Zealous.

Now the time it takes to go through the Alphabet saying I Am you will have forgotten what was bothering you and you will be reconnected with your idea of God. Plus by saying I Am you are making it known to yourself, what and who you are and God already knows that you are perfect.

Another great benefit to doing this, is you will expand your vocabulary as you look for different words to use.

Dear Father, Mother, God,

I know that there is One Power of Everything that I call God.

I Am a Part of God and as a part of God I have the same power in as much as I believe.

Therefore I declare that the above I Am Statements are now heard and acted upon by the Law.

I give thanks and I Am Grateful for that.

All there is left for me to do is to say; and so it is.

Amen

I Am One With Love

The Daily Meditation 1.01.2014

I Am One With Love

Ardy Reed, RScP

Love is the amazing evading presence that pervades through all things. It is this Amazing Power that pours through every single moment and every single thing. I am one with this Amazing Power. It is closer than my own hands and feet.

And just as I know this for myself, I know this for you as well. I am and you are this amazing power, this love, and that every single moment is filled with this infinite power.

Realizing this, I know that every moment is filled with the presence of love, the power of the cosmos, and that heaven is at hand and heart. Knowing this, I see and know that every circumstance within our lives is met with this power and it casts through us, as us, as a beacon of light that attracts amazing beauty, love, and perfection! All whom we encounter sees it, feels it, and knows it. It is a presence that is so attractive and wonderful it can not be denied, only embraced and enjoyed by all things in every single moment!

I am so grateful in knowing this for you and me. I am so grateful that this presence is coming through us in every single moment! I revel in the knowingness that it is filling the hearts of every one we encounter!

I release my word knowing it is done and that the law is the perfect partner to my word!

And so it is!

I am Expressing God in everything I say, think, feel and do

Posted by Richard Mathiason on December 31, 2013 at 7:49am

The Daily Meditation 12.31.2013

I am Expressing God in everything I say, think, feel and do

Glenn Buckland, RScP

God is time, space and the cycle of life. God is the Alpha and the Omega, God is the sewing and the reaping, the seasons and the spinning of the planets. God is the very idea behind the Universe. God is the context in which everything we experience takes place. There is nothing that God is not. There is nothing that is not on purpose as part of God expressing Itself here and now.

Typing my thoughts into words I recognize that I am expressing God in everything I say, think, feel and do. There is no part of me that is not God or separate from God. I am not all of God but God is all of me, and you.

With joyful anticipation I move toward the beginning of a new year. In these last days of the old, I prepare for the new. I let go of anything that no longer serves my highest good and embrace more love, more compassion. I open myself to all possibilities for my best self. I forgive myself and others as resentment and judgment dissolve into Grace. I release old definitions of who I thought I was or how I thought “it” was supposed to be and I settle into the knowing that Life is only Good. God is only Good. Nothing is by accident, everything is on purpose. And so, spinning around the Sun on my little blue planet amidst the vastness of this incredible Universe I simply Love. I love everyone and everything knowing it is all God. My Intentions, manifesting right now, carrying me through 2014 are Health, Prosperity, Creative Expression, Love, Grace and to know that I reside in the infinite Beingness of the One.

I give thanks for new beginnings, I give thanks for letting go. I am grateful for the physical Universe and this opportunity to have Life here. Thank you 2013 for all that was and Welcome 2014 for all that will be. Thank you Intention, Thank you Life!

In releasing my prayer I affirm that it is done. Here and now Life delivers unto me that which I have claimed as my Truth and it cannot be undone or returned to me void. And so it is.

The Perfect Life of the Rio Grande Center

Posted by Richard Mathiason on December 29, 2013 at 7:56am

The Daily Meditation 12.29.2013

The Perfect Life of the Rio Grande Center

Rev Martha Quintana, Senior Minster

Perfection is not a finished product or a static state. Perfection means that all that can possibly be known is known right now. Every person knows what they can know in the moment and, therefore, is absolutely perfect in the moment. It is this perfection to which I speak right now.

There is One Perfect Life, a Life so beautiful and sublime that it creates awe in whoever witnesses it. This Life is Beauty, Love, Happiness, Health, Creativity, Perfect Good, Perfect Strength, and I am one with this Life.

I live in its beauty, love, happiness, health, creativity, perfect good and perfect strength. I am the perfection of Good making itself known to me over and over again. I am the absolute freedom of joy helping itself to that very good that is always present everywhere and always. As I know this for me, I know this for every person reading this prayer.

I affirm and declare perfect life for our community in our new space. We are growing and the evidence is everywhere. Word of our community is spreading and every heart that is touched tells others whose hearts are also touched. Every person who is loved and gifted by this spiritual path makes sure to tell all others that the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living is a beautiful spiritual community filled with love, goodness, and positive radiance. All who come are healed and fulfilled and they stay to witness others be healed and fulfilled. It is a good path.

I give thanks right now for the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living. I give thanks for the caring and knowing of all the people in the community and I am sure that all of us are blessed by each other and the greater community. I release my word knowing that 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.

Being In The Present

Posted by Richard Mathiason on December 28, 2013 at 10:30am

The Daily Meditation 12.28.2013

Present

Michelle Snider, Practitioner II Student

God is the Abundant Creator of All That Is, All that Was and All that Ever Will Be.

God called me into form from Its own Being. I am one with the I AM.

I am aware of the experience of what is called the future. The anticipation of
that which has not yet coalesced. I am aware of the shadow thought of that which
is being released. That which is called the past.

It is with the expectation of the future and the release of the past that I stand in the
moment of infinity, the present. I embrace this moment of now, a time of creativity.

This present experience is truly Gods most wonderful Gift. It is in this
moment between past and future that I know who I am. It is in this moment of
now that I experience the I AM within me.

I accept this delightful, slippery, and wonderful gift from God.
I release the past and stand in the Now. The future time which is yet to be, is
potential for the present moment. I delight in the beauty and harmony of this time as
I stand in this infinite moment of NOW. It is with joy and peace that I exist in the present.

I am thankful for Gods gift and the experiencing of the Presence now.

I embrace my present with wide open arms. I am that I am right now.

I let it be and so it is.

Spiritual Mind Treatment-Prayer

Posted by Richard Mathiason on December 27, 2013 at 7:54am

The Daily Meditation 12.27.2013

Spiritual Mind Treatment-Prayer

Ernest Holmes, Our Founder

Let us suppose that John is sick and Mary is the practitioner. He comes to her, saying: “I am sick” She understands the power of Mind; he does not understand it. She does not try to hold a thought over him or for him, nor suggest one to him. She speaks his name and makes his declarations about this name. She contradicts what appears to be wrong and declares the Truth about him. What happens? Her word , operative through Universal Mind, sets a law in motion, on the subjective side of life, which objectifies through his body as healing.

John thinks a miracle has been performed. No miracle has been enacted. Mary used a law which all people may use if they will. If John had been perfectly will, and his need had been for a position, the treatment would be of like nature; Mary would have declared into Mind what should be done for John. There is only One Law; John could set It in operation for himself if he understood Its nature; sooner or later he must com to understand and make conscious use of this Law.

And So It Is.

The New Birth

Posted by Richard Mathiason on December 24, 2013 at 12:01pm

The Daily Meditation 12.24.2013

The New Birth

Ernest Holmes, Our Founder

The New Birth (John 3:3-9)

“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” Jesus is referring to the heavenly birth, which means being born into the knowledge of Truth. He refers to this as being born of water and Spirit.

The symbol of water is used to express the idea of a complete immersion in Spirit. As water flows in and around, so we are immersed in an everlasting Spirit which flows around, in and through us. To be immersed in water symbolizes our recognition that we are surrounded by pure Spirit. It is the outward sign of an inner conviction. But water alone cannot make us completely clean or whole. We must be born of the Spirit for “that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. “

Man partakes of the Divine nature and the Divine nature is man. The recognition of this is being born of the Spirit. But we cannot be born of the Spirit unless we do the will of the Spirit and the will of the Spirit is goodness, peace, mercy, justice and truth. It is conscious union with God.

The new birth comes not by observation nor by loud proclamation, but through an inner sense of reality. We cannot tell where this comes from, if we look to outward things, as it proceeds from the innermost parts of our own being.

I Am So Glad

Posted by Richard Mathiason on December 22, 2013 at 7:00am

The Daily Meditation 12.22.2013

I Am So Glad

Rev Martha Quintana, Senior Minister

Life is. It is All There Is. It is equally present everywhere, knowing Itself through the absolute marvel of every creature alive in every dimension. It is the birth of every babe and the Holy Spirit that animates our bodies. It contemplates Itself and, in so doing, It creates. It contemplated me in this physical plane and it contemplated every person everywhere. It just wanted to know what it was like to live like us.

Each of us is Life’s contemplation and, in this contemplation, we are each imbued with our own happiness, joy, love, grace, goodness, divine unfoldment, and good. We each come equipped to find that spirit that is lives in each of us and that motivates us more beautifully and healthily each time we exercise our own beautiful spirit. I am so glad.

In this revelation of Spirit, I affirm and declare the happiest holidays ever. I affirm and declare that the love of God is utmost in our hearts and it spreads to everyone everywhere during the seasons of light. As the light returns to the planet, as the Christ is born in us, and as the light of these holidays envelop each of us, the light shines so brightly that it washes away any sadness, angst, and feelings of unlove. The light illuminates our natural goodness and each of us is left in the arms of unconditional love. I am so glad.

It is in this gladness that I give thanks; that I live and know that all I give and receive is part of the great give and take of life. I am so grateful for the people of the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living and for the community we are creating. I am so glad we found each other and that so many more are finding us everyday. I am so glad. And so I release my word knowing that this prayer is done.

And so it is.

Amen.

God’s Whispers Are The Source Of My Intuition

Posted by Richard Mathiason on December 21, 2013 at 7:21am

The Daily Meditation 12.21.2013

God’s Whispers Are The Source Of My Intuition

Eva Gate’, Practitioner II Student

There is only One God, the One that creates All that is. The Universe is Its physical Being. It is in all things known and unknown. Love, Harmony, Mystery, Peace are the glue of the Universe. These qualities of The One exist within all sentient beings as they are God’s Creation, endowed with the unlimited qualities and possibilities that exist in Divine Mind and generously shared with its Creations.

I am united with the One. Oneness exists within me as perfect, whole and complete aspect of the deepest part of my awareness. It is the perfection that I can unite with as a spiritual being. It guides me and Its whispers are the source of my intuition. I know that this is true me; I am created from the Mind of God. I have Love, Harmony, and Peace deep within me and I know it is true for all. As I awaken myself to the inner me, the I Am, my life unfolds with harmony and challenges created for the deepening of spiritual growth.

I know for myself and I claim that this is true for everyone who seeks to know the deepest part of them as the place of the One Within. The God Without is the same God Within. This is the reality I which I live. Known since time immemorial, the deepest mystics have known this Truth.

I am grateful for knowing Truth unfolds within me. It is the Universal Truth of Divine Mind that I am one with the knowledge of this Truth. I am so grateful for being here and now, at this time in Eternal Oneness.

I release my word to the Law for action, knowing that it is now done.

And so it is.

Sunrise

Liza Kerr, RScP

I am so blessed. Today as I was driving to catch my 5:00 am train to Santa Fe, I was greeted with a HUGE moon shining down at me, illuminating my way. I said “Hi God, WOW thanks for the gift”. That moon followed me all the way to Santa Fe. It was there when I got off the train only now dipping towards the western horizon – and to the east the beginnings of dawn peeking over the opposite horizon. As I watched, the clouds that were hanging low turned a crimson red. What a palette; the red clouds, blue sky and the sparking white diamonds of the snow illuminated by the moon scrunching beneath my feet. THANK YOU GOD. As I took all this in it made me realize that all over the world people were seeing that moon and experiencing a sunrise. I know that all over the world people are seeing this – taking in this magnificent glory. I am so grateful for this powerful connection to God. I see God in all of this. What glory! As I breathe this in I am filled with contentment, and joy. What a way to start my day. Since this experience is shared by countless others I am humbled by the reminder of my connection to them. There is no separation – I am them, they are me – we are all a part of God.

We breathe in, we breathe out. Each of us in our own space, but absolutely connected; all a part of God. I speak my word and my Word is Law for myself and every other person out there we have the right as human beings to feel this joy, this unity, this complete abandon and harmony with God, and with each other. I claim for each of us this absolute peace in knowing that there is a divine plan, and that we are part of it, the sense of contentment in knowing that we are loved, we are loving, we are love. Plain and simple – we are love. In this realization we become furnaces of love, beacons of love, we attract love to us, and give it out. The more we connect with this the more we can give, and the more we can receive.

I give gratitude knowing that this manifestation has already occurred. I am grateful for the opportunities I have for experiencing God in every aspect of my life. I am grateful for the gift of the moon and the illuminating light, the sunrise, the colors, the sound of snow scrunching beneath my feet, the reminder that the innermost God, and the outmost God are one and the same, that if this is true for me, it is true for you, and that we are connected, we are one, we are love.

I release this prayer to the Law of Mind, knowing that it cannot come back to me void, and I anchor it into place by saying AND SO IT IS!

All Is Well

The Daily Meditation 12.19.2013

All Is Well

Kathy Mathiason, RScP

I know that there is only One Love, One power, One presence in the Universe. It is the Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent Love of the One, the Beloved One I call God.

As God is everywhere present in the Universe I claim that as God is, I am. There is no separation.

So in the sacred space at this sacred time, knowing all is well, I release any fear of lack. I release all false belief I have of not having enough or not being enough. Right here and right now, I declare that I am and I have in my life all that I need and so much more. I am abundant, prosperous, self-reliant, and the love and light of God. I know and accept that I am all the qualities of God. I proclaim it, I accept it, and I receive it. So in this present moment as I stand in the Presents of that One Great Mind, I know that all is well. My world is the World of God; my life is the Life of God. I cherish this knowledge every moment of every day. In the moment I am conscious of my thoughts and of my words. For being truly present in the moment I am aware of my God-self.

With each new day I am filled with gratitude, love and joy. Being ever present in the moment I let go and let God’s light shine through me. I know all is well. My life is perfect. I am secure. I am peaceful. And I give and receive love. By taking each moment as it comes, I feel the wife of God flowing through me, now!

I give thanks for this truth and knowledge. I release my word. And so it is.

I Am IT

Posted by Richard Mathiason on December 18, 2013 at 8:27am

The Daily Meditation 12.18.2013

I Am IT

Linda Martin, RScP

I recognize there is One Life, One Source, One Divine Intelligence in all, through all…is all. I call this Life, God, a most sacred word. God flows through each person, place, and thing. All form comes from this place of perfection.The unseen becomes seen…the unknown becomes known.The faces of God are..love, abundance, prosperity, excellent, radiant healing, success, laughter, intelligence, right action, healing, Divine Order, Divine Guidance and on and on and on…

I identify with this thing called Life. I am IT..this Life is in me and I am in it. I can never be separate from this flow of energy. All of these beautiful qualities are in me now. This is who I am. As I know this is true for me I know this is true for every soul reading this prayer. We are all from this seed of perfection, destined to live lives of goodness, purity and soul satisfaction.

As I speak words of Power and truth, I affirm and declare everything I need to live a life of unprecedented glory is before me now. Excitement fills the air with every breath I take as I enjoy the richness of life. I experience excellent, radiant health, as my body is full of energy and vitality. I wake each morning setting the intent for the day to live in the most positive ways being of service to all living things. When I smile, I am in service. When I give a hug, I am in service. When I say “Thank you”, I am in service. I am healed from past wounds, practicing forgiveness in all my affairs….letting go of things that no longer serve me. My relationships are loving and nurturing and as I give, I receive. A silent exchange with the animals and plant kingdom bond us deeper than ever before and as they smile back in silence, I feel God smiling back at them, through me. I realize my oneness with all Living things. Joy fills my entire being and I am light in my step as I bounce down the path of goodness. I hold the hands of all I Love. I anticipate new adventures, new successes and new beginnings each and every day.

I give thanks for the miraculous life I live filled with everyday blessings and miracles. I am deeply and profoundly grateful for having a deep appreciation for Life and Living and knowing Love is all there is…God is all there is and I am IT…and so are the eyes reading these words…

I release my prayer into the law, knowing it comes back to me greater than I could every imagine. And so it is…….

Linda Martin is a Practitioner at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Thank You, Spirit, for my Abundance

Posted by Richard Mathiason on December 17, 2013 at 7:22am

The Daily Meditation 12.17.2013

Thank You, Spirit, for my Abundance

Dianne Martin, RScP

As Director of Abundance for our wonderful Center, I have been reading and thinking a lot about individual prosperity and how it relates to commitment to our spiritual home. As a Religious Scientist, I know that the universe is abundant; there is plenty of everything for everyone at every moment. When I think there is not enough, I consciously free myself from those limiting beliefs and I remind myself that the infinite source of all is unlimited prosperity.

How wonderful it is to know that I am one with source and that I have all the qualities of source including love, joy, harmony, peace and prosperity. And, in being one with the one, there is no question of my abundance and my prosperity.

And, as I am one with the divine source, so I know that each person reading this prayer is also one with the divine source. Through this divine source, we each have everything we need to live the life of our dreams. Each one of us is love, joy, harmony, peace and prosperity.

I declare that I am one with the divine source and I am abundant beyond my wildest imagination. I share that abundance with that which feeds my soul and reminds me who I am. I share my financial abundance and I share my time and talents with my spiritual home. In doing so, I receive so much more than I give. I receive the ongoing and bountiful gifts of love, community, joy and peace. I receive the support of our Ministers and Practitioners. I receive the support of the congregation. I release any fear of lack that creeps into my thoughts and remind myself that I am one with the divine source, the infinite supply of everything.

Thank you Spirit for my abundance in all areas of my life. I am so grateful for the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living. I feel the love and support of my community and for that I am thankful.

I release my words to the perfect action of the law knowing that as I think them, they are done.

And so It is.

Dianne Martin is a Practitioner at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Form Within The Formless

Posted by Richard Mathiason on December 16, 2013 at 10:30am

The Daily Meditation 12.16.2013

Form Within The Formless

Ernest Holmes, Our Founder

ernest_holmes.jpg?width=144

Our physical body is like other physical manifestations. The idea of body is an image derived from the fountain of all ideas. The form is a materialization from the Substance of all forms. All bodies are made out of the same stuff. This one stuff is an inanimate and infinite stuff, and is equally distributed in the universe — much like the modern idea of the ether of space— and IT IS THE NATURE OF THIS STUFF TO TAKE FORM! Therefore, form is entirely in the realm of effect. Form comes and goes but it is not self-knowing. Form is within the formless. Form is not an illusion, even when it is the form of disease; it then represents a false conclusion, but is as real a it is supposed to be. If the formless did not take form Spirit would never arrive at self-realization.

The Formless takes form in what we call “time.” “Time is a sequence of events in a unitary wholeness;” it is recollection, attention, and anticipation — past, present, and future — simply the measure of experience. Of course time is real, but never a thing of itself. If the Timeless did not manifest in what we call time, it would never come to self-fruition. Therefore, we have form and time, and what we call space, which is never a thing of itself but the possibility of outline. If there not such outline we would walk through each other without recognition. Form is real as form but it is not self-conscious, it is subjective to the power that created it. Forms come and go but the Power back of them is Changeless. Form is temporary but Mind is eternal.

Ernest Holmes “Science Of Mind” page 100-101.

Declaring the Peace of the Mystic

Rev Martha Quintana, Senior Minister

I have seen greatness in a baby’s eyes. I have seen every form of color simply by watching the sun rise. I have stopped in awe to watch the geese flying overhead, and just when I thought I’d seen everything an eagle flew in front of me and landed simply so I could admire her. Each of these experiences was God in me seeing the God outside of me. This is simply the land of the mystic; that place where God meets me and all of us.

The Divine is always there waiting to be noticed, waiting to be seen. Yet, It is everywhere equally present, equally known. It is the breath that breathes me and the heart that beats me. It is the absolute goodness of God in those delicious moments when I see It seeing me. This is the place of the mystic, not mysterious but so much more, awe-inspiring.

In this awe-inspired moment, I affirm and declare the simple peace of God for all us. We lay down our burdens and rest in the knowing that we are cared for now and forever. There is never a time when we are profoundly alone. Each of us is always accompanied by that inner light that energizes every single being in every dimension everywhere. So I simply declare that the life I lead is already the one I have wanted. In this recognition of my own goodness and love, I am furnished with the goodness of Love. I am given to the passion of the moment and my own joy causes me to have a good belly laugh. I am alive with God and good. I am so happy about this. I love it now and forever and always.

I am so grateful for this joy and recognition. I am so grateful for the Rio Grande Center for Spiritual Living. It is my community. I am grateful for our new building and for all of the resources that have manifested. I am so happy that all I have come to see is already a part of this Center and this life. It is a good life.

And So It Is.

Amen.

Rev Martha Quintana is Senior Minister at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

A Prayer of Thanksgiving

Richard Mathiason, Technical Director

These are exciting times at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living. We are starting the move into a new larger space and a space that will house everything versus two separate buildings. This prayer is about giving thanks to God. Therefore, I give thanks for the Chapel at the Hotel Albuquerque as it have served us well from the beginning. The Chapel allowed us to get our feet firmly on the ground while at the same time visioning for the next place to call home for our community.

Thank You to God for the Event and Learning Center, as it allowed many to learn about “Science of Mind” and it allowed us as a community the opportunity to create a community that works for everyone.

I give thanks to everyone that has come through our doors and to the many that are now coming through our doors. It is nice to have a new building and I give thanks for it, but the most important and wonderful happening is the people that make up our community. A huge Thank You goes out to everyone who has had a part in spreading the positive words that our Founder Ernest Holmes created not so long ago. Thank You for all the work You do for our Center and for God.

A huge thank you to all the people in the world who happen to see and read the prayers by our Practitioners. I have received so many comments about how the prayers are exactly what they needed to hear for that day. Thank You to all of you for sharing the prayers with others on the Social Networks. You are a part of our community, too, even though many miles may separate us. I give my thanks to you for taking the time out of your busy days to comment and share.

So, as we move forward in a new direction, I, once again give thanks to God knowing that as we do the work, God is showing us the way. I give thanks knowing that the move is happening smoothly, the moving expenses are paid in full and then some and we move forward in our service to God.

Thank You! And so it is!

Amen!

Our Inherent Brilliance

Claudia Luca , RScP

There is only one life, it is God within and God without. The love and creative energy of spirit infuses everything and everyone connecting us all. We are the center of the divine essence of life, and it is the center of us.

I affirm in every moment, I choose love. I turn within to align and connect with the ever present, brilliant light of pure love, our infinite wisdom and our true power. Our true essence is unconditional love, and it’s essence flowing through us. We are reminded that we have infinite intelligence and power flowing through and within us in any any circumstance or situation. The same power that energizes the sun that moves the planets, that grows a tree from a seed, is the same energy flowing within and through us.

I let these words wash over me as a balm to my soul knowing that I am embodied in the divine who holds the space for me to flourish into be the perfect brilliant expression I am meant to radiate in this life

I give thanks to the action of the Law knowing as these words have been spoken, the seed has been planted for manifestation.

Spirit Knows no Precedent, Only Now

Spirit Knows no Precedent, Only Now

Kamatara Johnson is a Practitioner II Student

I recognize the One Loving Source as the Divine Operating System of this Universe. This is God. This is Divinity, the Center of all that is. God is the activity of the Universe forever expressing in the finite. God is the harmony and the discord that seems to occur in the finite expressions of the Infinite. The seeming conflict and the resolution is God expressing and expanding. God is all there is.

I am one with God as I express and expand. In each breath, the Divine pulses through me, in me, as me. My every breath testifies to my alignment with the Divine that is the presence and power within me, expressing as me. There is no separation.

From this heightened consciousness, I affirm that I am fully connected to God, the center of my being, right now. As Spirit knows no precedent, I am not tied to my past; I am not limited; I am not bound. I am free to be my magnificent Divine Self right here, right now, rooted in the One Loving Source that informs my every thought, word, and deed. The Truth is clear in this present moment, regardless of my past because I am not my past conditions; I am now and I am Divine, perfect as is. The space I need to be my Self is opening up every moment as I allow the past conflict to disintegrate and the present Spirit to incorporate. I am truly connected with the One Loving Source that runs through every ounce of my being as I grow and expand into my own Self now.

I’m grateful for this Truth, for the Divine potential that is unlimited, for the ability to consciously tap into this unlimited potential, and for the vision to see this Truth. I appreciate the power of prayer and loving support of the Divine as I release old things that no longer serve me while deepening my mindful connection with the One Loving Source.

Confident in the knowledge of the Law and how this all works, I know this prayer is already done in the eyes of the Divine. The words have been heard, the action set into motion, the manifestation already present. So I release this prayer wholeheartedly and let it go to do Its business. And so it is.
