Most of us are aware that many of the greatest metaphysical
books were written in some of the most seemingly dire economic
times in the 20th Century. These books contained insights
gleaned from ancient scriptures and other spiritual books
revealing to anyone who was willing to seek them out, principles
that once understood, could bring significant change for Good
into our experiences. Nona Brooks, the Founder of Divine
Science, was one of those authors, teachers and healers that
knew that the teachings of Truth were changeless and immutable.
She became aware that the teachings of Jesus were more than what
religion had understood them to be, much more. She understood
that we must replace the morbid thoughts of lack and limitation
with thoughts of expanding prosperity and success. And she
understood that this is what the Master Mind Jesus was telling
us. He demonstrated these principles then and many others have
demonstrated their value since to a great degree. "These
things I do and greater things still shall you do," the
Great Teacher said. And although no one has demonstrated
spiritual principles to the same degree as him, the
demonstrations of health, prosperity and success by those who
understood what he was teaching, have been achieved with
marvelous results.
"The
supreme difficulty in the lives of most people today is lack of
supply. Many have not enough income to meet their simplest
needs; they owe money everywhere; they cannot get employment.
Can prayer help them? ... Scientific prayer is the only
solution. Jesus gave us the law when he said: "Seek ye first
the kingdom of G-d, and his righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.” -
Nona Brooks, The Prayer That Never Fails, 1935
As you will note
from above, Nona Brooks wrote: "Jesus
gave us the law when he said ..." And
as we take these words into our consciousness we find the
simplicity in them: "seek ye first
the kingdom of G-d" is giving us an
instruction to think about the good that we want to experience,
or the more of the good we already have, that we want to
experience. But, the key is to think continually toward that
which we choose to experience and not let our words abort the
consciousness that these good thoughts are providing for us. Our
thoughts, our imaginings, our words are the kingdom of G-d
within us seeking an outlet through us, as us, and for us.
We
are always experiencing our thoughts, our imaginings, our words,
and beliefs ...
these are our prayers.
We have the power within us to do this because we are part of
Intelligence; we think and we reason, so therefore we are part
of the Intelligence that is forever expanding through creation.
For some of us negative thinking and negative conversation has
become habitual. If this is the case for us, then we may need
to spend more time sitting in the silence of our mind and
meditating on what we really believe about life, for nothing and
nobody can stop us from experiencing our thoughts and words for
these are "praying without ceasing."
Keep the Faith!
