I watched an interesting video on YouTube today. It is called “16: Moment”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNVPalNZD_I
As I watched, it evoked memories – many different memories. Suddenly I realized it would do that for anyone watching, yet each person would have a different experience of it. Each person would be attracted by different moments in the film, and even if we were attracted to the same moments we would have a different experience of them. The memories that were evoked would be different. This is how we give meaning to things we see in present time – by what we know about things through our memories.
This is the way life works. We are all experiencing a different reality. We are experiencing the same story, but with different content because of the value we have given our memories of our experiences – especially the first time we did anything. We are born, raised from childhood to adulthood, get dressed, fall in love, fall out of love, have jobs, wash dishes, have colds, make love, have arguments, etc. Our lives are basically the same. Jesus, Buddha and Hitler all did the same things. However the meaning we give these experiences is different.
Our lives are made up of little moments. The more I study the Science of Mind, I realize how important each little moment is. It is like our little moments are beads strung on our timeline. Hmm, I just thought of a rosary. Did you know that the rosary has four sets of "Mysteries of the Rosary" - Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious? What if we are the Universes rosary? How would we be prayed? What are our mysteries? OK, I’m getting a little out there – but really, what are the moments of our timeline like? It’s up to us. Are we creating knots or beautiful, translucent beads. (Even sorrow can be beautiful.)
Make some beautiful memories with your little moments today.

We live in an infinite Field of creative potentiality. This Field is God. It has no beginning and no end. No boundaries. It is absolutely everywhere. Within It are both Love and Law. Love points the way to various possibilities and Law makes those possibilities real.
Today I choose to let go of yesterday and see each moment as brand new. This moment right now is fresh and unconditioned by my past. This moment is expanding into the next moment and the next, and I feel the preciousness of all of them.
My eyes are open to see a new reality. My mind is clear. My heart is pure. I choose to experience Love and Light and Joy. I choose to experience the Wisdom within me. I choose a Divine Reality that continually makes all things new. I come to this Reality with the wonder of a child, feeling loved and blessed.
My life is a string of beautiful moments. I am so grateful for this. So grateful to have the awareness to choose wisely. So grateful to be aware of the Power within my word, and grateful for my embodiment of Truth.
I release these words into that Infinite Field, knowing they are so, and so it is.

Colour
I do a lot more walking now that I have a puppy. Morning, noon and night. Each time is so different. In the morning, everything looks and smells fresh and green and fills me with a sense of a newness. At noon, things have been hot and dry and yellow seems to be the predominant colour. At night there is no colour ... just shades of black and grey .. even the street lights fade out the colours.
I used to be afraid of the nighttime when I was a child - perhaps it was because of this - no colour. Colour helps us define things. Our interpretation of colour gives meaning to Life. We judge things by colour and have given a positive and negative meaning to each colour. For instance, to me, green is growth or jealousy, yellow is creative energy or illness, blue is peaceful beauty or loneliness, red is life or anger. Black and its various shades, are power, or death. (and makes you look thinner - LOL) Black symbolizes the unknown… and here is might be why I was afraid of the dark. Everything looks different, and feels unknown.
As adults, we’re not comfortable with the unknown, either. We sometimes stay in our uncomfortableness because at least we know what it’s like.
With Debby Ford’s new film “The Shadow Effect” there’s a lot of talk about the unknown within us – the beliefs and feelings we’ve hidden away because we couldn’t deal with them at the time. I believe this is what is going on in the collective consciousness as well. We are beginning to realize that things aren’t always as they appear – and that in Truth, we’ve judged a lot of people and things on appearances only. That we don’t really know anyone or anything, until we know our Selves.
This is why I love our teaching. A deep study of Science of Mind Principles helps us to uncover the “shadows” that are still active in our consciousness, and having an effect on our lives today. We not only break through those shadow places, we begin to realize we are more than we ever thought we were. We are the very Presence we have been afraid of. We begin to realize all judgment is really self-judgment, and is unnecessary. All our shadows are replaced with brilliant colour and Life has more meaning than we could ever believe possible!!
Here’s to Life in all Its radiance, shining brilliantly through us!
Blessings, Rev. Angelica
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
Gratefully I recognize the powerful Presence within and around us. There is no spot where God is not. God is both Love and Law, and it works through us according to our thoughts and feelings.
Therefore, today I declare I am ready to stand naked in the Truth. Freed of all my shadow effects, having claimed the disowned parts of myself. I am whole and holy. I am healthy, wealthy and wise. I am loving and beloved. I am complete in my Self.
My life is so much brighter because of my declarations. I am shining the Light so brightly that all who see me, know The Divine. My way is one of blessings, and everyone around me feels the effects.
How grateful I am to be here now, to recognize my Self, to honour my Self, and to rejoice in The Self in everything.
I release these words to the Law of Mind, knowing they are done. And so Is is.

Exciting Times
One of the things I have noticed lately is the proliferation of articles about the changing energies in our universe. Some are attributing it to the coming of 2012, to Armageddon, to alien visitation, and to the environmental changes. Some have even gone so far as to write: “make sure you have food and water, your will made up, etc.”
I agree that the energy is building – and that big changes are coming. How could they not!! With the way things have been going on the surface level, it looks like everything is falling apart – yet, what if everything is really falling into its right and perfect places?
What if all the individual prayers for peace, harmony, prosperity, right-work, health, and love are coming into fruition right now? Things certainly are showing up more quickly in my life! I just have to think a thing and there it is!
And because what I am experiencing is just a microcosm of the macrocosm – what if all the prayers we’ve been doing for world peace, health, prosperity and food and water for all, are coming into fruition right now?
Have you noticed that in your own experience, things seem to look the worst just before they get better??? The old paradigms are in their death throes, battling to stay alive. The new paradigms, that I believe we set up more publically in the ‘60’s, are taking their places.
We are living in exciting times!! And each of us is going to experience these times by what we focus on. It is more important than ever to keep the High Watch. It is more important than ever to keep claiming Good for all. Here’s a spiritual practice for you: At least four times today, let yourself stop what ever you are doing, take a few deep breaths and say “I live in a wonderful world.”
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
I am so grateful to remember Who I Am – God in form, having an experience of being human through and as me. I am grateful to know I am Love and using Law in every moment.
I refuse to participate in a conversation of doom and gloom. I am living in world of my making that is peaceful and filled with happiness, health, wealth and creativity. I am living in a world that works for everyone. I declare I am ready to ride the wave of good for all.
As I speak these words, I let them sink deep into my subjective mind and become fully embodied there. Nothing can move me off Center because this is where I am rooted in faith. I trust God, the Good and my All–Sufficiency, with my whole being.
Gratefully I release these words into the Law of Mind, knowing they are already so, and so it is.

Proud of Myself
“Right now, say it out loud: “I’m so proud of myself.”
The rush of strength and expansiveness that comes from declaring this honestly is the antidote to paralysis and the beginning of wonderful adventures, and each time you choose that, instead of shame, you really should be proud.” -- Martha Beck
Go on – say it: “I’m so proud of myself.”
Say it again – and really mean it!
Tears welled up in my eyes when I read this in Martha Beck’s daily e-mail last Tuesday and allowed myself to say it out loud. I often tell others how proud I am of them, yet don’t think I’ve ever said it to myself. Have you?
Most of our self-talk is about what we should or could have done, said or been. We’re ashamed of not getting things done when we think we should. We’re ashamed of not having the money to pay our bills. We’re ashamed of not being in the right job, the right relationship, the right body. Being in the faith tradition we are, we’ve even become ashamed that we don’t seem to be using Principle in ways that more beneficial for our lives.
Shame is a great paralyzer. We become immobilized by what we think about ourselves. Truth is – we are always doing the best we can. We are good people. That part of us that immobilizes us is probably only 10 % of who we really are and yet we let it run our lives. It’s time to let it go.
There truly is a rush of strength and expansiveness that comes from declaring this. Say it with me: “I’m so proud of myself!”
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
There is only One Life – that Life is God’s Life and this is the Life I am living. I celebrate every aspect of this One Life today.
I celebrate myself by declaring: I am so proud of myself. I let go of all thoughts of littleness, of believing I am not enough. I now realize I am more than enough because who I am is a unique expression of The One.
I am proud of my willingness to live a Divine Life - to open my heart and mind to inspiration and empowerment – to be all that I can be, in God, as God. I am proud of my Self and see my Self outpicturing in ways that are expansive and delightful. What a great adventure Life is!! I am proud that I have chosen to take conscious part in it!
With a heart filled with gratitude, I release these words into Divine Law, knowing they are so. And so It is.

Life!
I heard about death on the car radio yesterday. It isn’t an unusual experience, but because I grew up with these celebrities, I, like everyone else, I started thinking about the value and meaning of these people in my life.
It was Farrah’s hair I was in love with – during the early ‘70’s I had really, really long hair. I took a magazine cover into a beauty salon and said “Make me look like this.” Little did I know that there were thousands of women doing the same thing and this at a time when it was important for me to be an individual! A few years ago, when I decided I wanted long hair again, I naturally went back to that style. It works for me.
I wasn’t as enamored with Michael Jackson as many of my contemporaries were. I was more of the folk music type – but I loved dancing, and his music was certainly danceable! A few weeks ago I heard him say on an interview about his upcoming England tour “This is the last, the final goodbye.” How prophetic those words were – what surprised me was that he still sounded like a young boy at 50 years old.
Watching the interplay between Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon on late night TV was delightful. And oh my goodness, those envelopes, every few months over the years, from Publisher’s Clearing House, with a letter from Ed McMahon, brought hope and fantasy to the hearts of many!
Going back to value and meaning … Whether its death from a long illness, old age or sudden death, it reminds us of our mortality. We’re all going to do it – and the fact that many of us grew up with these people brings the fact that we’re not going to physically live forever even closer.
It reminds me to LIVE now – really live – not just observing from the sidelines, but getting in there and wallowing in every aspect of Life – feeling all the feelings, whether they be happy or sad, glad or mad – it’s all part of the human experience.
It also reminds me I am here for God to experience Itself as me. What kind of experience does my Spirit want to have? I believe It wants me to be authentic, use my God-given gifts well, and be fully present! So for the Divine Feminine, partially expressed through my hair, for the Divine Child within, and for the divine wise older person I have become -- This is my intention, and I am so grateful for every moment of my life.
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
There is That Within Me that desires to be more fully expressed, to have greater experiences of Itself. It is Life, my Life, which is GodLife. This Life works through me, as me, for me, through Love and Law.
I choose to open my heart and mind to let Life live an even greater experience as me. I let go of my sense of littleness, of not deserving, of unworthiness. I am the incarnation of The Divine right here and now. I accept this, I acknowledge it, I express it. I am fully alive!!
Gratefully I acknowledge all aspects of my Life, relishing being a spiritual being living a human experience. This is good, very good.

Slow Life
I spent 3 days in Seattle with ‘ohana this week. (‘Ohana is family in Hawaiian – of blood or choice). Perhaps because we are in week 2 of our Gratitude Campaign, I was able to experience the joys of acknowledging others in a deeper way. I acknowledged them by allowing myself to be fully present, and I enjoyed every minute.
There is so much continually attempting to get our attention. Besides the various technological tools we have bombarding us with information, there are also ‘to do’ lists, errands, our families, friends, jobs, people and pets. How often do we really participate in life in a slow, conscious manner? Or allow others to do so?
At one point on the way home, I was traveling the speed limit, enjoying the beauty of the forest I-5 goes through. Cars whizzed past me, some drivers honking, some glaring at me for going “too slowly.” I wondered where they were whizzing off too, and spent some time making up stories about them. When I realized what I was doing, I laughed at how easy it is to get pulled out of the present and brought my attention back to what I was doing. Those people were none of my business. My business was to enjoy my drive home. And I did.
Awhile ago I heard of the Slow Food movement – where one uses fresh ingredients, makes things from scratch and enjoys their meals. I think we should start a Slow Life movement. Where we show up, pay attention, and truly experience each moment.
Join me?
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
Today I show up for my life with a new intention. My intention is to consciously experience all of it. As I do this, I am able to more easily remember and experience the Oneness of all Life. I honour every second of Life. I honour how Life shows up for me, whether It be in people, plants, animals or places.
I am ready to live a Slow Life.
I open my mind and heart to experience the things I have forgotten. I let go of my need to be plugged in to my computer, Ipod, TV or newpapers. I recognize these as wonderful technological tools, yet they are not the reason for my existence.
My existence is for the Glory of The Divine. To experience God knowing Itself in, through and as me. I am now consciously aware of all of my Now moments, and consider them a great gift. I honour the gift by paying attention.
God in me, as me, is an expression of my good, and my good is everywhere!
With a grateful heart, I release these words, knowing they are so, and so It is.

Gratitiude
Dear Ones,
Last Sunday, our Centre initiated a Gratitude Campaign. For 30 days, we are choosing to be grateful instead of complaining!! Using Blesslets acquired from www.gratitudeinaction.com that read “Thank You God,” we are ready to experience more good, more joy and more Life!!
Here’s how it works: Remember the “Complaint-Free World” campaign we participated in a couple of years ago, in which Unity minister and author, Rev. Will Bowman, designed a purple bracelet to break ourselves of the habit of complaining? He suggested that every time we caught ourselves complaining, we change the bracelet to the other wrist.
This is the first part of our Gratitude Campaign. We’re taking it a step further. When we change the Blesslet to our other wrist, we change the complaint to an expression of gratitude. Here’s an example: I needed to buy gasoline. I came to my favourite gas station and noticed the price - $1.05 a litre!! I started to complain, realized what I was doing, changed my bracelet, and declared “Thank God I have a car to drive!” I immediately noticed the physiological changes in my body – from a clenching of my muscles at the beginning of irritation, to the releasing of my muscles and a much, more peaceful feeling.
Metaphysically we know that ‘where the attention goes, the energy flows.’ I would much rather be focusing my energy on what I’m grateful for, wouldn’t you?
Sai Baba of Shirdi said:
Before you speak, ask yourself:
Is it kind, is it necessary, is it true,
does it improve on the silence?
WOW – My Mother was always telling me as a child to think before I spoke. Now I can ask myself: “Does what I am about to say improve on the silence?” Certainly complaints wouldn’t. Gratitude would.
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
I am one with the Great Silence, the Divine Creative Power that is the Cause to all. It is within me and all things. It is an Energy that is acted upon my thoughts and feelings.
Knowing this, I now declare I live a life of gratefulness. I celebrate everything I have attracted into my experience and everything I have not. I am grateful for my body, this wonderous earthsuit that allows me to experience all there is to experience in this place in time. I am grateful for my emotions, that give richness and meaning to my experiences. I am grateful for my mind, that is working for me all the time. I give thanks for that One behind my body, mind and emotions, that is my Life and my Guiding Light.
I declare that Life is good, very good. Joyously I release this word to Law and see that it is my Truth. I am so grateful. And so it is.

Trust
More and more I am realizing the importance of Trusting! Many people will pray about something and then go right back to worrying about it. Worry is negative prayer. I believe the good we are praying for is instantly attracted to us – returning to worry prohibits it from coming into our experience.
When I feel myself in this situation, I like to use the Power of NO! As I catch myself worrying, I say “No! This is not my Truth. I prayed about this and I know prayer works! Nothing is too hard for The Divine! I let go of my fears and trust!”
Dr. Holmes writes in today’s 365 Science of Mind,
“I know the Infinite Creative Law is always bringing complete satisfaction into my experience. I am conscious that there is an Infinite Wisdom directing me. Whatever I should know, I will know. Whatever I should do, I will do. Whatever belongs to me, must come to me, and because of this Infinite Intelligence that is mine and that is within me now, I am compelled to recognize my Good, to see more, to understand and accept and express more.”
Let’s trust this Truth!!
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
There is an infinitely intelligent Power working through everything right here and now, including me. This Power is a palpable Presence that lifts my heart, and fulfills my mind. This Power is both Love and Law, and works through me at the level I will accept for It to work.
Today I declare I am open to all the blessings of the Universe. What ever I have been praying about, I now choose to accept that this Power is so awesome It can fulfill all requests with ease. I let Spirit go before me preparing my way. Being Infinite Intelligence, It knows how, when, why, where and who. I breathe deeply and let go of my fears. I trust God to do Its perfect work, in, through and as me.
Gratefully I release these words into the law of mind, knowing they are so now – and so It is.

Surrender
Many of us have experienced having a tune running through our heads that just won’t let go. This happened to me yesterday in the shower. (Isn’t the bathroom a delightfully sacred place – big grin.) I was so familiar with the tune, yet the words wouldn’t come. I know from experience this is one of the ways Spirit gives me messages, so I had to find out. I sang it for the Book Circle and we got part of the chorus, but when I Googled it, I still couldn’t find it. I finally called someone I know who likes old songs and she gave me enough words to find the lyrics online.
The song was “I will follow Him” by Little Peggy March. I remember this song as a teenager. I thought it was a love song written for a boyfriend, however when I read the lyrics, I discovered that every ‘him’ was capitalized. I will follow Him.
Now I don’t believe God is male, much less separate from me. However, when I read the words from a metaphysical point of view, the message for me is – There is only God, God is everywhere, and God is Love. It is up to me to surrender to Love. Love is my destiny – because Love is all there is.
In playing with the word ‘Destiny’ at a workshop not long ago, I decided it meant “Divine Expression of Spiritual Truth Invoking a New You.” At that same workshop I wrote in my journal “I am available to what wants to happen by means of me.”
Yes, I will follow Him.
What song is your Soul singing lately?
Blessings, Rev. Angelica
Come on – sing along with me
I WILL FOLLOW HIM (Little Peggy March)
I will follow Him, follow Him wherever He may go,
And near Him, I always will be,
For nothing can keep me away, He is my destiny.
I will follow Him, ever since He touched my heart I knew,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high, it can keep,
Keep me away, away from His love.
I love Him, I love Him, I love Him,
And where He goes, I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.
I will follow Him, follow Him wherever He may go,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high, it can keep,
Keep me away...
I will follow Him (follow Him),
Follow Him wherever He may go,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high, it can keep,
Keep me away, away from His love...
I love Him (Oh yes, I love Him)
I'll follow (I'm gonna follow)
True love (He'll always be my true, true love)
Forever (Now until forever)
I love Him, I love Him, I love Him,
And where He goes, I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow,
He'll always be my true love, my true love, my true love,
From now until forever, forever, forever...
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high, it can keep,
Keep me away, away from His love.
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
God, the Eternal One, the Everything That Is, is the Lover of my soul. I celebrate this Truth with every fibre of my being.
I now declare I am ready to express my authentic Self more completely. I am surrendering to the Higher Good of my Being. I am no longer willing to live in my little, complaining self. I no longer avoid my good.
I am now expressing the best of my Self. I am prosperous, healthy, loving and successful in all I do. My life and work is service to The One through many different avenues, and all avenues bring me great joy. I serve Love with Love.
I am so grateful for knowing I am the Beloved and the Lover. I am living in amazing Grace.
I release these words into the Law of Mind, knowing they are already so. And so It is.
The song was “I will follow Him” by Little Peggy March. I remember this song as a teenager. I thought it was a love song written for a boyfriend, however when I read the lyrics, I discovered that every ‘him’ was capitalized. I will follow Him.
Now I don’t believe God is male, much less separate from me. However, when I read the words from a metaphysical point of view, the message for me is – There is only God, God is everywhere, and God is Love. It is up to me to surrender to Love. Love is my destiny – because Love is all there is.
In playing with the word ‘Destiny’ at a workshop not long ago, I decided it meant “Divine Expression of Spiritual Truth Invoking a New You.” At that same workshop I wrote in my journal “I am available to what wants to happen by means of me.”
Yes, I will follow Him.
What song is your Soul singing lately?
Blessings, Rev. Angelica
Come on – sing along with me

Tra La!
When I woke this morning I could hear “It’s May, It’s May .. the lusty month of May” (from Camelot) running though my head. What a delightful song! It’s about letting go of the shoulds, the musts, and the have-to’s and maybe being a bit naughty
I loved being woken by this serenade from the Universe!! Definitely a better message than the dire, depressing ones we’ve been getting lately, which to me, all break down to one thing: “Be afraid, be deathly afraid.”
For years I have been saying that the old paradigm of ‘might makes right’ is dying. We are in the midst of its final death throes! These are such exciting times, where loving-kindness, compassion, unity and peace are revealing themselves in the forefront of our collective consciousness. While this new paradigm is getting more firmly grounded, we’re seeing the old one fighting for its life. Years from now, we will look back and wonder “Did we ever really think like that?”
Many of you in this teaching have experienced this in your own lives. I look back “before Religious Science” and wonder who was that who wrote those odd things in her journal? Who was that who was so concerned with what people looked like, and how much she had gathered, what labels were on things, and how well she fit in? I know that person was me, yet it seems like someone else!
Today, Rev. David Ault posted on FaceBook that he “is having a great laugh after seeing a bumper sticker that read, "Oh EVOLVE already!" Perhaps our global message for May?”
YES! YES! YES! We’re doing it anyway – Let’s do it consciously and have fun with it along the way!!
“Tra La – It’s May – the lusty month of May. Be a little bit naughty today !!

“Everything in life responds to the song of the heart. Ernest Holmes
Knowing the powerful Presence of The Divine that is absolutely everywhere, filled with all knowledge and unconditional love, is within me, I now open my heart, my mind and my whole being to experience today in all its fullness.
I declare I am ready to be showered with joy filled possibilities and Divine Gifts. I am open to receive all of Life’s blessings. I laugh in the face of negativity. I dance the evolutionary dance of Becoming. I am a radiant expression of the One Life!
For these and all the things I have received and for all the things I shall experience, I give thanks. I am so grateful to be alive, right here and right now. And so it is!!

Little Things
My friend Nancy sent me this note today:
“I work in the sewing room at Hilo Medical Center.... The other day one of the physical therapists came in and asked me to stitch something really fast on a couple of wrist splints.
My scissors fell of the table....as I reached down to pick them up she said " An absolutely brilliant tool.....scissors" and smiled.
It was an "aha" moment of sorts. After she left the room, I looked at my scissors and was grateful for them.
Who-da thought?”
Wednesday night our Centre community gathered to celebrate the Earth, and as we drummed and sang and prayed, it became all about gratitude. I read a quote from the Catholic writer Ernesto Cardenal from Abide in Love who observed: "Everything in nature has a trademark, God's trademark: the stripes on a shell and the stripes on a zebra; the grain of the wood and the veins of the dry leaf; the markings on the dragonfly's wings and the pattern of stars on a photographic plate; the panther's coat and the epidermal cells of the lily petal; the structure of atoms and galaxies. All bear God's fingerprints."
We began to acknowledge patterns: butterfly wings, spider webs, the glistening of snow in the moonlight, the rainbow effects of oil on cement, the ripples of a drop of water, the feathers on an eagles wing, the petal whirls of flowers, the threads in the carpet beneath us and the cellular structure of our bodies.
I noticed none of us shared “big” things … and the phrase ‘it’s the little things that count’ came to mind. And there are gazillions of little things making up the place you are sitting right now.
Stop reading and look around you. Let yourself have an open eyed gratitude meditation …
I am grateful for my chair, the table I am sitting at, pens, paper, my computer, the printer, my camera, the phone, and all the cords that help them work, my journal, my coffee cup, the table cloth, my warm fuzzy slippers and robe. Each one of these I can follow deeper, finding even more things to be grateful for – like the electricity in my home and the recycled pop bottles that are now the fleece robe I am wearing.
Our lives are made of little things…. And Gratitude – it’s the key to being happy.
Blessings, Rev. Angelica
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
Gratefully I acknowledge God in the details of my life. This reminds me God is absolutely everywhere. There isn’t a place where God is not.
My life is made of little things. I open my mind to see them. I open my heart to appreciate them. In my mind’s eye, I see a web of ‘little things’ connecting everything and everyone together. I am so grateful to be an essential part of this web of Life. I am grateful to be able to recognize my value in this web. As I recognize the little things, I am honuring their purpose. As I see all these little things as expressions of the Divine, I am honouring my purpose.
God is absolutely everywhere – and where ever God is, all is well. I know this is True, I claim it and I accept it, and this is good, very good.
I release these words with a full heart. And so it is.

Seeing the Truth
Yesterday I had sort of a Twilight Zone experience. I was in the front of our building, and my neighbor asked me if I knew who had a small orange cat, and as she was asking, my cat, Romy, came running around the corner. “That one,” she said, pointing at him.
I told her Romy was mine, and she told me he shows up every morning at her back door, meowing. She lets him in and he runs to her daughter’s bed and has a nap with her! My neighbor has been calling him “Morris.” I asked her to please not feed him, and we both laughed. Romy loves to eat!!
As I went back to my townhome, I marveled at the ‘second life’ my cat has.
I think I know him pretty well. To me, Romy’s daily routine is: Wake up Mom at 6:00 am, get fed, go outside, come back in at 10 am, get lots of pets and cuddles, curl up on sofa until 2 pm, go outside, back in at 4PM for dinner, play “I’m escaping thru the front door” when it opens because cat door is locked, sleep on the basement couch ‘til 9 PM, come upstairs and bug Mom to play with toys, sleep on her bed.
He’s very friendly, showing up during people visits to greet everyone, and playing with the dogs I take care of within a few hours after their arrival.
Yet here’s a whole new aspect of him I didn’t know. I’ve also seen him coming home from the direction of the house opposite our building – I wonder if he has another life there?
When my roommate arrived home, I thought about how I think I know who he is – and yet he has another life outside the home as well. That made me wonder how many assumptions have I made about people because of my limited association with them?
There is one thing I can assume and be right every time! No matter who it is, human or animal, (or mineral or plant), it is God in form. God is so much more than we could possibly ever imagine – and so are we!
This Easter, join me in removing the preconceived ideas we’ve had about how Life works in our experience, and bless it all by knowing the Truth!!
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
Spirit is alive and aware in me, as me. It is the Lifeforce within me, and the things my Lifeforce interacts with. It is my feeling nature, It is my thoughts. It is absolutely everything. All there is – is God. This is my Truth.
From this moment I release myself from judgment and see Life as it actually is. I know It is beautiful. It is kind. It is loving. It is generous. It is nurturing. These are the things I want it to be, and so It is.
I declare my eyes are open to the greater Vision that is present. My heart is open to greater Love. My Mind is open to new ideas and concepts to live authentically. God in me, as me, is living a great life.
I celebrate this Life with every fibre of my being. God is good. And So It Is.

Memories
I love my life! I am becoming more and more aware that everything I do is Sacred, no matter what I am doing. This past week, I dog-sat two darling puppies. One was a Yorkie and one was a Coton de Tulear.
One evening the Coton came to me and wanted to be picked up. Of course I complied, and as I sat holding her, I marveled at her soft, white fur. I breathed in and closed my eyes and suddenly was 8 years old, sitting in the washroom at Ramona Convent, hugging my only toy to my chest – a white stuffed dog. This dog was the most important thing in my life at that moment. It was the only familiar thing. I had been sent away to live at a girls school and was in a place of strangers. I didn’t know anyone. I wasn’t Catholic. I was an outsider.
Memory is amazing. As I relived a moment in time that happened 52 years ago, it was like I was right there. I could feel the cold white tile floor under me, and see the bathtub cubicles. I could hear the whisper of the nun’s habit on the polished wooden floors as she came down the hallway to check on me. I could hear myself crying, and I could feel the tightness of my muscles. I could feel my fear.
Dr. Holmes writes “…. Memory is an unconscious operation of what was once a conscious thought.”
Somewhere inside the vastness of me, I am still sitting in the washroom feeling alone and afraid. I wonder where this thought is active in my life now?
Dr. Holmes also writes that by changing our thoughts we can re-mold our affairs; and that by right thinking we can bring new conditions into our lives.
I can imagine that nun saying “Everything will be all right. You’ll do fine.” Did I believe her? Could I believe her? I don’t remember. However, I knew I could do something about it now. Going into meditation, I took that lonely little girl and her precious stuffed dog, and put them on my lap. I hugged her and infused her with all the love I could. I acknowledged all she had been through already in her short life, and shared some of the wonderful things she would experience as she grew up. I told her the nun was right. We turned out wonderfully.
All of us have memories of experiences that are still affecting us today. We can allow those memories to surface, gently and easily, and love ourselves through them. We can acknowledge our fears, change our thinking and trust the Divine. Doing this, we will revitalize our present time experiences and move forward with grace.
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
I recognize there is One Life – the Divine Life that is everywhere present, all knowing, all powerful. It is Creator and created. It is within us right here and now.
Knowing this I declare these words for us in the first person:
I am ready and willing to open my heart and live more authentically. All that is unnecessary to my highest good and greatest joy is now released. I am open to experience my Self and all the wonders of Life. I am filled with Divine Light and Love and there is nothing to stop me from being all I can be.
I am healthy in mind, body and emotions. My health radiates throughout my financial life, my work life and my relationships. I know this for myself and for everyone I meet. We have all turned out wonderfully as delightful expressions of this One Life.
Gratefully I release these words into the Law of Mind knowing they are already so and the Truth sets us free. And so It is.

Neighborhoods
A friend who’s on Facebook wrote: “Every time I see the friend request I think of Mr. Rogers and his song: “Won't you be, won't you be, won't you be my neighbor?”
I really enjoy Facebook. It’s like a virtual front porch! I can sit on my swing, sipping my beverage of the moment, and observe the neighborhood, calling greetings and sharing stories with my neighbors. With FaceBook, I am getting to know many people at a deeper level. I’ve received so much inspiration. I have reconnected with many friends.
While I was writing this, I remembered a section of Marlo Morgan’s book “Mutant Messenger.” Marlo was on a walkabout in Australia with some aboriginal people who considered themselves to be “Real People” … and they walked in silence for hours. At the stopping points she would hear bits and pieces of conversations that seemed to have been carried on during the walk. Marlo asked one of the women how this could be, and the woman told her they communicated mentally, that they didn’t always have to talk out loud. Marlo was surprised and wondered why it was so easy for them to communicate this way, and considered difficult, even a little airy-fairy, for the western cultures. The woman told her it was because nothing was blocked by secrets. No one lied.
Facebook is making it difficult to have secrets. We’re learning to be more transparent and more accepting. We’re also learning to be more conscious of what we are saying as not only will everyone be able to read it, but we might get called on our stuff!! And that’s what good neighbours do, isn’t it - support us while we’re going through our stuff, yet gently keep us in line?
FaceBook is a microcosm of the macrocosm of the collective consciousness. The world is getting smaller. Neighborhoods are getting bigger. There are neighborhoods standing alone, and ones that overlap. There are ones I want to live in and ones I prefer not to. And it’s all good – because it’s all God. “Won't you be, won't you be, won't you be my neighbor?”
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
Recognizing there is no place where God is not, I delight in living in God’s neighborhood. This Neighborhood is an infinite field of creative potentiality. I am empowered and enlivened by this neighborhood. I see my Self everywhere I turn.
I am grateful humanity is awakening to its spiritual magnificence. I am grateful to be alive in these exciting times. I am grateful to be a part of the architectural corps that is creating this new world. I choose now to be consciously aware of always telling the Truth, and living an authentic life. I choose to love my neighbors as I love my Self.
I release these words knowing they are so, and so It is.

Growth
Last night many of us got to attend an evening with Dr. Michael Beckwith and his wife, Rickie Byers-Beckwith. These two beautiful Spirits wove words and music together to give us an awesome experience.
Here’s one of the many things I got from their work:
Every morning ask yourself:
How can I grow today?
What can I give?
What can I celebrate along the way?
Just in case you don’t know it yet – we’re all about Growth!! Just look outside at the newly budding trees! How are you ‘budding’ in consciousness? Since it is a given that we are going to grow, we might as well acknowledge it and do it consciously!!
Dr. Michael said we are not here to get .. we are here to give! We will ‘get’ naturally by right of our consciousness. So what can you give to your world today? Your attention, your love, your compassion, your kindness, your forgiveness?
What can you celebrate along this Path of Growth and Service? Celebrate waking up!! Being alive! Having senses to experience the world with. Celebrate your accomplishments big or little. Celebrate your friends and family. Celebrate your Self! You are GodStuff!!
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
I recognize the Omnipotence, Omniscience and Omnipresence of The Divine. Everywhere I look, The Divine has shown up for me to see, even in my mirror.
Today I choose to walk the Path of Growth with conscious acceptance. I no longer am dragged moaning and groaning into my authentic Self. I am all I desire to be right now. I open my heart, my mind and my arms to accept my greatness!
My life now reflects my willingness to give of myself to my world. All around me I see good and more good. I feel peaceful. I experience the radiance of Life as It flows through me with ease.
I celebrate being alive. I celebrate being able to recognize my Divine Self as my real self. I am so grateful to know and experience these things. It is good, very good.
I now release these words into the Law of Mind knowing they are my Truth and the Truth sets me free. And So It Is.

Today I choose to walk the Path of Growth with conscious acceptance. I no longer am dragged moaning and groaning into my authentic Self. I am all I desire to be right now. I open my heart, my mind and my arms to accept my greatness!
My life now reflects my willingness to give of myself to my world. All around me I see good and more good. I feel peaceful. I experience the radiance of Life as It flows through me with ease.
I celebrate being alive. I celebrate being able to recognize my Divine Self as my real self. I am so grateful to know and experience these things. It is good, very good.
I now release these words into the Law of Mind knowing they are my Truth and the Truth sets me free. And So It Is.

Drop It and Leap!
Along with the sun shining, and buds appearing on the plants in my yard, there is something else brewing in me. Part of me thinks “Oh No! Spring Cleaning!” and another part is eager to get to the job. There is something so satisfying about clearing out the old and making room for the new.
So it is with our consciousness as well. Many of the world’s great thinkers, including me, are so excited about the major leap in consciousness that is occurring. The Vanguard has jumped. We see it and we feel it and we know we are all making this leap! We also know it’s a leap that can’t be made with baggage.
What kind of baggage is weighing you down? What have you been dragging around for years, or months or even days? Perhaps it’s something you haven’t had the courage to forgive, or perhaps it’s a responsibility that really isn’t yours to carry, but you’ve been carrying it. Perhaps it’s something you think you’re supposed to be doing, even though your heart is crying. Let go. The easiest way to make the leap, is to be fully in the Now.
Go ahead, drop that baggage. You aren’t doing it alone – we are leaping together, supporting each other in being authentic and free. Are you ready? Whee! What an experience!
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
I love playing in the fields of Infinite Potentiality. I am in awe of how Life uses me to create a world that works for all. I am ready for this work. I was born for this Work.
I celebrate the One Mind, knowing this is the Mind I am using. I choose right now to just let go of all that has been holding me back from all I am meant to be. I let go of my littleness. I now realize I am already what I’ve always wanted to be, I just thought I wasn’t. I allowed myself to buy into the old paradigm of “less than.”
This is no longer my Truth. I am a whole, complete and perfect expression of The Divine. My work no longer feels heavy, but light. I am playing in the fires of Love, joyfully expressing that aspect of The Divine that is uniquely me. Every area of my Life reflects this joy, and I am pleased.
Gratefully and humbly I acknowledge all that have gone before me, preparing my way. I am so glad I am here – it is a good time to be alive! I release these words, delighting in the Truth of them. And so it is.

Stand in the Light
This morning while walking the dog, I stopped to talk to a woman sitting on a bench. She kept saying how cold she was. As I walked away I noticed another bench close by which was directly in the sun, and turned back to her. “Hey,” I said, “it’s warmer over here.” She nodded, and replied “Thanks, but I’m already settled here.”
Not long after I had a phone call from a client during which I heard myself saying “You’re really arguing for your limitations!”
I then picked up the Science of Mind and opened it randomly for an “Ernest Fix” … and what did I see, but on page 411 ..”We can sit in the shade or move into the sunshine.”
Ok, Universe, I got the message! I asked myself “Where am I so settled in my stuff that I won’t move into the Light!?! And how much do I argue for my limitations?!?
These are the times for all of us to ask ourselves these questions. Regardless of what’s happening we have a choice. The awareness of these Principles gives us the tools to move beyond the chaos. Everywhere we are – God is – God in us, knows what It wants as us, and I now choose to let go of my arguments, stand in the Light and know – I absolutely know - God can be trusted!
It’s my pleasure to serve you today.
Blessings, Angelica
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
There is one Mind, One Intelligence that effortlessly creates all there is out of Itself. It is the Source and Substance of all things, seen and unseen. As a unique aspect of this One Mind, I am all that It is.
I am ready and willing to step into the Light and stay there. I remain on purpose with the Intelligence of the Universe. I no longer settle for what does not make me happy. I accept my responsibility in creating a world that works for everyone by using the Principles I have learned. As I choose to express more Good in my life I am blessed and bless everyone in my presence.
I rejoice in being able to see Wholeness – Holiness – everywhere I am. I am so grateful to be living in the Light. I am grateful to have the courage to move into the Light whenever I find myself in the shadows. I release these words into the Law of Mind, knowing they are done, and so it is.

Dreams Bring Responsibilities
Last Sunday I watched “Brothers and Sisters” on television. I can’t remember much of the show, because at one point, one of the brothers said something that kept rattling around in my mind – and here it is:
“Dreams bring responsibilities”
I started thinking about the dreams I have – ie: having books published, being debt-free, being my perfect weight, travelling the world, etc.. I thought about how long I have had some of these dreams. I’ve done some of each of them, but not to the extent I want. I wonder if the idea of the responsibilities involved has slowed me down.
Dreams manifested not only bring responsibilities with them, but also change. Taking responsibility means I have to do it myself, no one can do it for me. I have to change something about myself to attract all that is necessary to the fulfillment of my desire. Responsibility also means being accountable.
Responsibility seems like such a heavy word – sometimes I feel like Scarlett O’Hara – “I’ll think of that tomorrow ... after all, tomorrow is another day.” The problem is – tomorrow never comes!
However, if I look at this from a metaphysical point of view – responsibility means my ability to respond. I firmly believe that the dreams we have are Divine Ideas wanting to come into manifestation. (I was going to add “by means of us” however, you have probably experienced, as I have, having a dream, yet procrastinating, and then seeing it manifest through someone else.) I now believe Dreams will manifest themselves through who ever is willing to respond to them. In this case, taking responsibility is responding to the Divine Idea with Yes. Once we say YES – it moves out of the realm of wishing and hoping into the arena of intention. The intention then activates the Law of Attraction, which uses our imagination, our beliefs and thoughts to bring it into form.
Yes, dreams bring responsibilities – how are you responding to yours?
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
Life lies open everywhere around and within me. It’s giving nature is infinitely intelligent and unconditionally loving. My beliefs open my mind, my heart and my arms to the abundance of the Universe. My mind is abundantly filled with Divine Ideas. My heart is abundantly filled with Divine Love. My Life is a delightful expression of the One Life, and this is good.
Every where I turn, in every arena of my life, is Divine Potential. I now choose to respond to those Divine Ideas that keep returning. I am open and willing to be the vehicle for these Ideas to be made manifest by means of me. I know as I say YES, the whole Universe responds. I relax and trust because I know the responsibility for setting the Law in motion is mine, and the responsibility for making It work is inherent in the Law.
Gratefully I rejoice in being one who knows this Truth, and let go and let The Divine do It’s perfect work. And so It is.

New Year's Spiritual Mind Treatment
This is the Year –The year I accept the Truth: There is only One – One Power, One Love, One Mind. I am living in Divine Love, using Divine Mind, and expressing Divine Power.
This is the year my life reflects who I am. My finances, my health, my work and my relationships are in Divine Right Order.
This is the year I realize I am who I’ve always wanted to be.
I move forward into 2009 with this conscious awareness. Every day I am re-creating my life. Every day I celebrate my Divinity. Every day I realize how grateful I am for Life Itself as It expresses through me.
2009 is a good year. I declare it so, and so it is.

My Word
The other day I was talking to another writer about “the word for the year.” It made me think about my word for 2008 …. It was Celebrate.
At the time I picked that word, I was celebrating. I was in a new relationship, our community was thriving and Life was good.
As I look back, Mr. Right turned out to be ‘not right for me’ (and me not right for him), beloved friends and a beloved pet died, I moved residences twice, finances got really tight, my back and arm were terribly painful for awhile, and so on.
I thought for a fleeting moment: “What was there to celebrate?” and then I realized that in picking my word for the year, I had given myself an interesting challenge: Is it possible to celebrate the hard times as well?
My answer is YES! It’s all about Being with what is, and blessing it. Letting my experience of the moment show me what I truly desire for the future.
Celebrating is about being grateful. I am grateful I could risk opening my heart and letting go of so much stuff to live “in love.” I’m grateful I had the courage to realize it wasn’t working and let go. I’m grateful for the time spent with those who’ve ‘walked the rainbow’ as the Hawaiians say. I’m grateful for the travel and deepening friendships. I’m grateful I was able to become more aware of what I really want to experience and what’s important to me. I’m grateful for the financial, physical, mental and emotional challenges, because they brought me back to my Self.
Yes, in the midst of tears and sorrow, just as in times of love and joy, one can celebrate Life. Life is what we are, what we have, and what we experience. And Life is always saying “You are my Beloved, in whom I am well pleased.”
Celebrate was a good word for 2008. Divine is my chosen word for 2009 …. I can only imagine the wonders it will bring! What’s your word?
SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
With a grateful heart, I celebrate Life. God is Life – all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere present Life. It surrounds me, supports me and fills me. My Life is God’s Life.
I choose to make this Life I am experiencing even better by acknowledging every aspect of it as an expression of The Divine. What ever I have experienced, be it judged positive or negative, it is all Good. I make it so.
I open my heart, my mind and my being to the enveloping Love of The Divine as I move forward along my Path. God and I are inseparable, living and breathing Oneness, Loving all. I declare Life is Good.
Gratefully I release these words, knowing they are my Truth. And so It is.
