Before I went to bed last night, I Treated (our word for affirmative prayer) to move into a greater sense of Inner Peace. You see, as much as I didn’t want to, I was experiencing a swarm of worries - about finances, my car, the slow growth of our new Centre, whether or not I am doing what I am supposed to be doing, etc., etc. etc.

Thank God I know Treatment works! I kept waking up every few hours, but instead of worrying, I could hear the lines of our Sunday morning opening song by Daniel Nahmod: “Oh my soul is welcome here. Oh my soul is welcome here. I am getting the message loud and clear - My soul is welcome here.”

This morning as I stopped in front my treasure map, I noticed a statement by Dr. Holmes I had placed in the center: “Everything in life responds to the song of the heart.” And I heard the rest of Daniel’s song … “I’m in the right place at the right time, I am just where I’m supposed to be …” God is such a giggle!!

What song is your heart singing? Mine had been singing poor little ole me songs for a little while. The Langley Centre was the dream of two people, and a third was invited to participate… then with death and decisions, I was left to do it myself - or rather, I choose to keep up the dream. I’ve done this before, so thought nothing of it … but it seems like it was easier twenty years ago in Hilo, Hawai’i, and besides, I was a lot younger J Part of that ole song seemed to be mighty familiar – “I have to do everything myself.” And so I feel I have been. Yet, is that the Truth?

NO! There is no way one could ever do anything all by themselves, as there is always the Powerful Presence of The Divine within us. This Presence has shown up as people to help, finances, love notes, and songs running through my mind, reminding me I am in my right place, and I am welcome here! J

In today’s 365 Science of Mind, Dr. Holmes writes: “We should sense the flow into our consciousness of the Divine Intelligence, a feeling that the creative imagination of the whole Universe is centered in us, and flowing through us. We should consciously practice this more abundant life, not necessarily for any specific thing or good we desire, but for the realization of the All-Good flowing through everything and everyone. Attuning our consciousness to this Divine abundance, automatically we find a betterment in everything we do, a broader and deeper experience, a higher realization, and a greater good.”

Here’s a song for our hearts to sing today: “Don’t worry, be happy!” Our happiness, in the midst of whatever experiences we are having, will attune us to our highest good. Thank God!!

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT

I know there is One Life – God’s. I am grateful to be a conscious expression of that One Life. I allow the Uni-verse (one song) to sing Itself through me abundantly. I feel I am in the embrace of a warm, loving Presence forever seeking an outlet through me.

Through me, God sings a song of love and I experience it and share it willingly. It sings a song of peace and I feel it deep within me as it radiates from me. It sings of beauty, and joy and a deep soul sharing, and all who are near me experience it as well. God’s Life is my life, and it is a good one! It is filled with abundance, laughter, love, health, creativity and all that my soul desires.

Gratefully I release these words, knowing they are my Truth. And so it is.

Monday I got to ride in Brad McPhee’s new Jaguar. Whoo Hoo! Some of you know that a Jaguar is my dream car so it was a delightful experience. When Brad was bringing me home, as I started to give him directions, he pushed a button on a screen and showed me how the car’s G.P.S. worked. A map of our exact location came to the screen and a woman’s voice told us when we would turn and how far to drive before the turn. Then again, just before we got to each turn, she’d tell us again. It seemed to me that there would be no way one could get lost with this system.

As I marveled at it, I suddenly realized there was a tiny part of me that wished I could just be told what to do at every moment. It seemed like it would make life so much easier if I didn’t always have to be in charge of my life. I quickly got over it, however, as I imagined how dull life would be if all I could do was follow directions and didn’t get to use my mind.

Just as quickly, I also realized, as Dr. Holmes writes in the Science of Mind: “The one seeking to demonstrate the power of spiritual realization in everyday affairs should believe in Divine guidance. They should affirm that their mind is continually impressed with the images of right action, and that everything in their life is controlled by love, harmony and peace; that everything they do prospers, and that the Eternal Energy back of all things animates everything which they undertake.”

Ah ha! There is our own GPS - God Provides System J !! With mental maps, images and voice already installed. And in no way do we lose our autonomy. Just like Brad had to program the computer with my address, so we have to choose what we want to experience. The Divine will give us messages from every corner of the universe as to the highest and best methods to fulfill our choices. We have to be still, and listen, and then of course, choose to follow through.

As Dr. Holmes writes: “Let us feel that our purposes are animated and inspired from on high and then let us go forth and make our dream come true in human experience. With an invisible Intelligence to guide, and an immutable Law to direct, let us take our place in any legitimate activity, and thus cause our dreams to come to full fruition.”

Have you activated your GPS today?

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT

The Center of Divine Mind is everywhere, the circumference nowhere. This Mind is infinitely intelligent and everywhere present. I am a point of God-consciousness made manifest right here and now. I am an expression of Truth in action.

I choose to be divinely guided into right action at every moment. Everything I say, do and think is motivated by Truth. I accept only the highest and best desires to be fulfilled through and as me, and there is continuous right action in my affairs at all times. My God Provides System is fully activated!! All my ideas are divine ideas. I do the right thing at the right time in ease and grace.

I am so grateful I can trust the Spirit of Truth within me. I know my word is Law and as I speak this word, all that I need to fulfill it is already here. I release this Treatment with calm confidence that it is so. And so it is.
