CHOICE

CHOICE
My daughter called me to tell me that a high school boyfriend who had remained a friend, died suddenly at the age of forty-five. That same day, my granddaughter’s friend was killed in an automobile accident on the way back from basketball practice. Also on that same day two police officers, best friends of her uncle, were shot and killed in the line of duty. All of this loss hit my daughter and her friends suddenly. What do you do? Where do you turn? How do you live with this kind of tragedy?

Life comes to us in a series of ups and downs. Life may seem good, bad, terrible, or tragic. In Science of Mind, we learn how to handle the ups and downs of life through classes, reading, and meditation. A wonderful peace comes from building our awareness of the presence of the indwelling God – always with us, wherever we are. We learn that all is God and that wherever God is, there is good. We learn to make a choice – we can choose to know that God’s Divine Plan is taking place. We learn that what looks like tragedy to us is a thread in the tapestry of life. There are blessings that we can’t foresee, but they are there nevertheless.

Let’s choose to have faith in God’s Divine plan for all of us. Let’s choose to take the time to go within and feel that deep peace of Spirit. It’s always there for us, for we are never alone. What a blessing it is to know that!

AFFIRM: Today I choose to see my life in the context of God’s Divine Plan. I choose to take the time to live more consciously in the Presence. I allow life to proceed in the perfect way in God’s perfect timing.

BITTERNESS

JOY

GETTING RID OF THE BITTERS.

We are to know the passing events cannot hinder the onward march of the soul. – Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind

Yesterday a dear friend wrote to me that a friend of hers got a great job that she, herself, wanted. She was happy for her friend, but asked “How do I get rid of being bitter?”

Sometimes life seems unfair. The truth is that no one can take your good from you. The job was her friend’s good. My friend’s good is still here. We may have a glorious dream of what our life is going to be. Then something happens that knocks us for a loop. The dream is shattered. it couldn’t happen, not to us, but it does happen. What did we do wrong? Why do we have to go through this?

Your good comes to you at the right time in the perfect way. Your life always happens in God’s Divine Plan and in God’s perfect timing. Sometimes that seems too long for us to wait. We don’t want to wait for what we want. We want it now. We think we need it now. When we learn to trust God and relax into the Peace of Spirit, we learn to let go and allow God’s perfect plan to work for us. We are rewarded in a far greater way than we would have first imagined. God is Infinite Wisdom which is always indwelling within us That wisdom is within us and always available to us.

Take the time now to go within to that place where God always is. Allow that perfect peace to flow through you. Know now that God wants all that is good and perfect for you.

AFFIRMATION: Today I know that God’s perfect timing is at work in my life. I now turn my life over to God, knowing that my success is assured.

LOVE

LOVE ONE ANOTHER

A big part of my philosophy of life is being non-judgmental. It’s not always easy. But it can change our lives for the better when we live and let live.

Yet, when someone isn’t doing something the way we believe it should be done, we often want to fix it. Sometimes with the best of intentions we try to set them straight. We criticize and someone else adds their thought on the subject, and pretty soon it becomes a huge issue. That’s how to become a destroyer rather than a builder.

Let’s always remember that the other person is as much of God’s Light as we are. Love and praise can go a long way toward making a situation better. Let’s look for the good and the joy in every person and every situation. Think about it.

Affirmation: Today I see “The Christ” in each person I meet. Today I greet everyone with love.

It’s Spring!

THE POWER OF GRACE

GRACE

There is no greater power in the universe than the power of God’s love. Through love and grace, I overcome challenges in every area of my life. My heart is filled with thanksgiving because I know that God’s will for me is good and only good. I claim my good now. Even before I ask, God has already given. The more I realize that God has already given everything, the more I live in that place of grace and peace.

Today my life is transformed by the power of God’s grace.

SURRENDER TO THE UNIVERSE

SURRENDER

When we want something very much, sometimes we spend our time and energy trying to MAKE it happen. We plan, pray, manipulate and maneuver to get what we desire. Yes, it is important to know what we want and take the practical steps to reach our goal. However, most important of all is to surrender to God the “How of it.”

Leave it open for the Universe to decide if it’s right for you. Know what you want. Then detach from it. Release it and let it go. Turn it over to the Infinite One. Let it go and let it be done in perfect and Divine Order.

Say, “Today I release all preconceptions and surrender all to God knowing that God’s plan will be even better than my own.”

TIME

JOY

TIME: WHERE DOES IT GO?

”As I write this, I am amazed at how the months pass so quickly. Where does the time go?

Wait! I want to say, I haven’t really experienced summer yet and I am writing about Fall. Then I sit down and think, “What are summer, fall, winter and spring?” Seasons that in my mind mean certain things do not have to restrict my concept of time or what I chose to do.

We all have our perceptions of time, seasons and activities that should happen appropriately and we all have the choice to be and do whatever we want to keep life alive and active for us without limitations

Affirmation: I chose to live my life in the NOW and know I am a person of all seasons and I flow tit grace into the next adventure.” Author: Robin Mitchell, RScP

TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

YOU CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

In his textbook The Science of Mind Ernest Holmes wrote “Do not dwell upon adversity but think plenty into everything, for there is power in the word. Meditate on the things you are doing as being already done–complete and perfect.”

Stop going over and over in your mind how bad things are or have been. It is only in moving to a higher place of thought that you can move on in your life. It is only in letting go of the past that you can move forward. It is only in surrendering to God that your life can change. It is only through prayer and meditation that you can transform your life.

Forgiveness is extremely important if you want to move on to a place of serenity. Look back over your life and go through a process of forgiving for each person who harmed you. Forgive and love yourself.

FEAR OR FAITH

Coco 6 weeks

An Excerpt: FROM HERE TO SERENITY, A Spiritual Guide to Transform Your Life: http://www.gmanishor.com

WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE?

When you fear something, dwell on its opposite. Think about the success and not the failure. What you put your attention on will expand. What you set your intention as, you will receive. This is the Law of the Universe. Fear can take over our lives. It can freeze us into immobility, but only if we let it. We’re afraid to make a move, afraid to make a change even if it might be for the better. We can go into fear about so many things. It might be about our finances, that we have too much debt, or it may be about a job problem, or we worry if we will be safe and secure when we’re ready to retire. Will there be enough money to survive in comfort? Maybe there’s a better position open, but we’re afraid we can’t handle it, so we don’t even apply for the job. We may be afraid of being fired or let go. When we are in fear, we are dwelling on what we don’t want to happen. In this way we are attracting to us that fate. The more we dwell on it, the faster it comes to us.

No matter what the fear, we can break out of the vicious cycle of fear and turn to faith. We have the courage to stand tall to release the fear and know that the God within each one of us is our strength in every need. We do not have to be weak and fearful. We can be strong and courageous.

If you fear something, dwell on the opposite condition. Think about the success and not the failure. Think about the solution and not the problem. Turn away from what you fear and visualize what you do want. Picture what you want as often as you can. Remember, what you put your attention on you will receive. When you dwell on the bad, that’s what you will experience. If you think consistently about the good, it will manifest in your life.

Know with me right now that God is always there for you. God is ever present within your very being. That Power and Presence lives within you and is always available to you. What is there to fear? We are the Divine emanations of the Divine One. Do you realize how powerful that makes us? What can hurt us? We are Divine beings. This is a powerful concept. When you use it, you can break free of the web of fear and move into the light.

Affirmation
Today I let go of fear and know that I am a powerful Child of the living Spirit. I am strong and capable.

GOOD VS EVIL

GOOD VS EVIL

Sometimes bad things happen. There is bad in the world. Who can deny it? This life and all that happens in it is an illusion. We are spiritual beings walking a human existence. Evil is not a living entity. It has no power in itself. It is caused by the ignorance, superstition and wrongdoing of man.

In his inspiring book The Pathway of Roses, Christian Larson says “When you see evil, do not become indifferent; proceed at once to add to the good; when the good is on the increase evil is on the decrease.” This is such a beautiful thought I cannot help but dwell on it. The more loving kindness we give and receive, the more good there is in the world. It means we can do something to dispel evil, and that is by seeing good and by doing good. We do not fight against it because what we resist persists.

There is a feeling and a knowing deep within each one of us that good overcomes evil. When we shine the light of truth on evil and wrong thought, good will come forth out of the darkness and shine its light on us and our world. “I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.”
Affirmation: I know that God’s Love is all there is and I stand in the Light of God’s Love at all times.
