From the Science
of Mind: "These lessons are dedicated
to that Truth which frees man from himself and sets him on the pathway
of a new experience, which enables him to see through the mist to the
Eternal and Changeless Reality." - Dr. Ernest Holmes, Founder of
Religious Science
We
live in a Universe complete with everything that we will ever need to
live a full, rich and rewarding Life. God's Plan for each of us is
to live in the Divine Fulfillment of Every Good Desire that we can
imagine for ourselves. As we align ourselves with the Universal
Good, realizing that the Good that we desire does not take anything away
from anyone ... including their freedom to choose ... we can know and
trust that our desire for Good is God's Desire for us. Our Good
desires are of the Father ... and that which is ours comes to us with
grace and ease in the right and perfect time.
It is useless to worry and become discouraged as the Infinite
will not be manipulated by the finite (us). Our worry and our
discouragement only create delay or blocks to our Good. There is
no waiting room in the Kingdom of God.. so if our Good appears to be
delayed or postponed ... we must look to our own consciousness and
"correct" the situation by transcending it with the Truth.
What is the Truth that we know about the condition or circumstance that
we are experiencing? Do we believe that somehow we are undeserving
of Good or that perhaps our situation is impossible for God? Of
course, we don't believe this in our conscious mind... but perhaps we
have believed it in the past and this old past belief is hidden away in
our consciousness. As we affirm and get into a "sense"
of One-ness with our Good ... this old pattern or belief yields and our
Good becomes manifest in our experience. Sounds easy ... but this
requires self-examination and responsibility ... worry and
discouragement lack responsibility and trust in the Infinite and
therefore our Good cannot manifest through a consciousness filled with
either. The Master Mind Jesus stated that we cannot pour "new
wine into old wineskins," and this is exactly what he was referring
to. The old wineskins are just the "old stuff" that is
resident in our consciousness that we don't believe anymore as true ...
but because we have memory of these things ... we must eliminate the
final imprints that exist in our deeper mind.
From Louise Hay, "What we are experiencing in
our lives today is what we have created with our past thoughts and
beliefs. There is nothing we can do about our past. We were
operating with yesterday's wisdom. The best we can do is bless it
with love and let it go."
Our response to our "troubled past thoughts" is the nature in
which healing takes place. Since "it is done unto us as we
believe," and we can only believe with our mind, we know that as we
make this correction in consciousness we are planting into our
"passive mind" new active, seed thoughts that grow into new,
greater and richer ideas. These ideas create experiences that
appropriate the new-ness, great-ness and rich-ness of our thoughts
"imprinting" these images within our consciousness. We
appropriate the "Unseen Good" resident in the Eternal and
Changeless Reality (Omnipresence of God) ... through the mist.
And
So It Is!
