Unique Divinity Within

Unique Divinity Within

Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit, its goodness, its light, its consciousness and its atmosphere of peace.

There is only one mind, one Source, and one life, and that is life as a spiritual being, as a loving being.

 This universe is the glory of God.  It is a moving, flexible, fluidic creation.

It is alive with life, abundance and all the richness of God.

 I express the deep knowledge that God is within me, and we are all inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.

I affirm that we all come from this one source.

 I now speak my word for myself and for all, as I align myself with the Spiritual Law of unique divinity.

 I give full rein to all the creative power that I possess.

Because of my unique stamp of individuality, I know that no one else can ever take my place or duplicate who I am.

The power, imagination and my will to live as an individual are rooted in the one life, as a personality of God.

I am learning to trust myself, as I express my unique personality and manner.

My personal expression is able to live in harmony and in cooperation with others, without infringing on the rights of others.

Through mutual respect, I am able to achieve the true meaning of personal freedom.

I realize that all the power there is and all the presence there is, is backing my individuality, as well as the individuality of others.

My unique divinity accompanies me throughout my entire life.

Because of this unique divinity, I do not need to imitate anyone else.

The inner strivings and inner feelings that stir within me are my unique divinity revealing itself to me.

From my unique divinity, I expect new ideas, new thoughts and new ways of doing things to stimulate my imagination into action.

The Divine Presence within me invites new circumstances and situations into my experience that are unique to myself.

I tune into this Divine Presence in order to bring the greatest amount of life, love, joy and happiness to my life.

 So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for my own unique divinity, for love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.

And so it is.

And that is life as a spiritual being, as a loving being.

I can use the Laws of nature consciously.

I am surrounded by a Law of Mind that acts on my thought, through my faith.

I turn my thoughts away from lack, want and limitation, and focus on the good.

My slightest thought sets up a pattern that is acted upon by the creative intelligence.

I think of life as always bringing to me everything I need.

I have formed a partnership with the Invisible, which prospers me in everything I do.

I pass from lack and want into greater freedom.

I pass from fear into faith.

From a feeling of being alone, I pass into the realization of oneness with everything.

I believe God is all there is and I have implicit confidence in the Law of Good.

Happiness thru Oneness

Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit,

Its goodness, its light, and its atmosphere of peace.

There is only one mind, one Source, and one life,

And that is life as a spiritual Being, as a loving Being.

 I affirm that we all come from this one Source.

We are inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.

 I now speak my word for myself and for all,

As I align myself with happiness and oneness.

 I look to the past without anxiety and to the future with certainty.

No matter what situation confronts me, I can be happy through my belief in the power of God and in the purpose of my own soul.

I am certain that the will of God for me is that of boundless life, joy, success, happiness, peace and abundance flowing through me.

I realize that the universe holds as much good for me as I can take, knowing that I can take only what I give.

I release hate to draw love into my consciousness.

I release confusion to draw peace into my life.

I release ugliness, so I can see beauty.

And I release discord in order to realize harmony.

In order to be happy, I must love mankind.

I realize that I am in union with everything.

I am never alone or isolated and my peace comes from a sense of union with the whole.

The perfection at the center of my being knows that good keeps me in perfect activity, surrounds me with love, and friendship, and brings the experience of joy into everything I do.

When I impart an atmosphere of confidence and faith that uplifts and enlightens everything in my environment, I am able to live affirmatively and in happiness.

When I experience happiness and good, I take everyone else with me, because the universe is one system.

I desire that this good flows through me to everyone I meet.

I bless every situation I find myself in and bring peace and happiness to everyone I contact.

As I envision indwelling harmony and perfection, I see it manifest in everything I do.

I have complete confidence that God is always with me and is directing everything I do.

God is controlling my affairs and leads me to the pathway of peace and happiness.

My joy, prosperity, happiness and fulfillment are contagious.

 So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness

For my happiness, for my unity, for love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.

And so it is.

Visualization

Visualization

 Let’s take this moment to invoke the presence of Spirit, its goodness, its light, its consciousness and its atmosphere of peace.

There is only one mind, one Source, and one life, and that is life as a spiritual being, as a loving being.

This universe is the glory of God, it is a moving, flexible, fluidic creation.

It is alive with life, abundance and all the richness of God.

I express the deep knowledge that God is within me, and we are all inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.

 I affirm that we all come from this one source.

I now speak my word for myself and for all,

As I align myself with Spiritual Law and its creative principle.

 I realize that the Law has no volition other than to obey my impulses and thoughts.

By completely changing my mode of thinking, I am able to change my experiences and my environment.

I am the sum total of all my thoughts and acts.

My subjective state of thought is constantly radiating into the universal mental law images of my entire belief in life.

From my mental images, I unconsciously create all my outward conditions.

I realize that to create success and happiness, I must consciously control a continuous radiation of constructive thinking and acting.

Through visualization, I am able to create a mental picture of myself as I would like to be.

I hand this mental picture over to the universal Law to execute.

I bring into my visualization more than my previous experiences and impressions.

Through visualization, I expand what is possible for me to experience and to understand.

I seek higher forms of thought, so I can experience better things.

I allow my higher spiritual mind to rule my life.

I receive a new outlook on life through the broader vision and the deeper realization that comes from Spirit, which knows all things.

My new clear thinking embraces only Good, in order to visualize correctly and effectively.

I discover that there is power in knowing the truth and that truth acts through the law.

I use my imagination, not my will, when visualizing to fill the concept with spiritual realization, harmony and unity.

I realize that Spirit knows all things and the Law can do anything.

Any purpose that I have, that is constructive, is legitimate and right.

Once I am certain that my whole thought is harmonious and unified with Good, I may ask for what I desire and it will be created for me by Law.

I realize that I bring back to me exactly what I send out.

I leave my entire mental picture for the Law to work out for me, knowing that something is taking place on the invisible side of my life and that I will experience in outward form all my inner aspirations.

 So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for my own visualizations, for love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.

And so it is.

Let’s take this moment to invoke the presence of Spirit,

It’s goodness, its light, its consciousness and its atmosphere of peace.

There is only one mind, one Source, and one life,

And that is life as a spiritual being, as a loving being.

 

I affirm that we all come from this one source.

We are inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.

 

I now speak my word for myself and for all,

As I align myself with the consciousness of Infinite energy.

 I realize that I am a necessity of God’s self-expression.

I am one with the greater power of Spirit. 

When I call on the interior awareness of my soul, I am using the infinite energy of the universe.

I am living in a spiritual universe now.

I am able to transform earth into heaven.

When I focus on the consciousness of harmony, any chaotic fear dissipates.

I embrace the warmth, color, beauty, light, feeling and emotion of infinite spirit.

In return, I receive more energy, greater freedom and more of the world’s good.

The integrity of my own soul expresses as a deathless, birthless, changeless principle of immortality.

I accept the permanence of change in my environment and I evolve and expand for the highest good.

My thought is creative to the degree of emotion that I put into it.

By following the principles of the law, I experience more freedom, happiness and prosperity, as I create a new heaven and a new earth each day.

I believe there is a divine energy and power that supports my good, my prosperity and my happiness.

All the joy, peace and self-expression is right where I am.

Knowing that nothing bad is ever going to happen to my soul, I can release my fear.

The more good that I do, the more good I experience.

The power of the divine flows through me as I speak the healing word.

By creating a consciousness that unites God and human, my healing is instantaneous and divinely natural.

So, it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for my own infinite energy, for love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.

And so it is.

Amen

I affirm that we all come from this one source.

I now speak my word for all, as I align myself with ever expanding consciousness.

I pay attention to the gifts of Spirit that are always being given.

I realize that my gifts affect the character of the whole.

I accept my responsibility to live with fullness and creativity.

I become more skilled at using my energies each day to create possibilities that I put into form.

I realize that trained thought is far more powerful than untrained thought.

I pay attention to my concentrated thoughts.

When I seize an idea and hang onto it, I can expect a physical manifestation, whether it is comfortable or not.

I flow with, rather than fight life.

I realize that it is to my advantage to use life’s natural, forward-moving energies for my purposes.

I accept who I am, because I am inescapably part of the forms and energies of life.

My individuality gives me the ability to use life’s vigor as I choose.

I decide to bring my good to life by using my divinely given wisdom.

I realize that I can live as broadly or as narrowly as I wish.

I accept that my life was given to me to do what I will with it.

I practice living skills without a limitation.

I am determined to find a means of self-expression and to reach my goals in spite of any physical limitations.

My eyes are open to the possibilities of what I can create, when I invest my time and talents.

I trust that the Infinite is ready and willing to guide and direct my energies to wondrous, daily discoveries.

So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for my own self-empowerment, for love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.

And so it is.

Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit.

It’s goodness, its light, its consciousness and its atmosphere of peace.

There is only one mind, one Source, and one life, and that is life as a spiritual being, as a loving being.

I affirm that we all come from this one Source.

We are inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.

I now speak my word for myself and for all as I align myself with peace, justice and freedom.

By being conscious and present, I can turn a crisis into something that makes the world a better place to live in, by striving for individual and collective safety, personal liberty and freedom and justice for all.

I believe that Democracy can give freedom to the world and make possible hope for humanity.

I realize that Democracy is a great cooperative enterprise conceived in the idea that all people are equal before God.

I recognize that everyone is an individual in their own right and deserves the privilege of self-expression.

I honor unity in what is best and safe for all, which gives respect to each member of the whole.

I believe that the preservation of these ideas is the hope for the world.

I pray for peace with justice; for only with justice is peace possible.

I pray and meditate each day with complete acceptance that the leaders everywhere are being guided by the all-sustaining wisdom and by the all-sustaining power of good.

I pray that we each act and contribute the best that we have for the common good and common preservation.

I pray for confidence, calm judgement and right action through every crisis.

My faith conquers my fear.

I believe that every nation desires peace and, through our prayers, we can bring peace and justice for all.

I work without tiring and pray without ceasing for a world that is vibrant with hope for the freedom of all.

I stand in my own power and, whatever the cost, tackle all the difficult and demanding requirements of life.

With a grateful heart, I express overwhelming thankfulness for more presence, more love, more kindness, and for more peace, justice and freedom in my life.

And so it is.

I accept that my Spiritual Presence is my real self.

I know that this spirit is always the One Spirit making itself known.

If I become confused or distraught, I know that I have disconnected from the thread of intelligence that runs from the infinite to the finite.

I become reborn, remade and renewed by taking time to get acquainted with my better self, the invisible presence that accompanies me through life.

I can rely on the Divine Intelligence to know all the answers in a positive, calm and sure manner.

The sincere and simple time that I spend with the Divine Intelligence in meditative prayer is followed by a betterment in my circumstances, in my physical body, as if a new life giving force is being poured into me.

By communing with Spirit, I find peace, a sense of security and come into harmony with life.

I completely surrender myself to this Divine Presence, let it guide me, knowing that if I do, everything will be all right in my life.

So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.

And so it is.

I believe that what I give, comes back to me.

My soul is immune to negation and is triumphant by the Power of Spirit.

When I give my attention to God, to Spirit, I am able to achieve perfection through the recognition of Spiritual Power.

Through the process of my faith, I am able to mentally eliminate the invisible cause, when faced with an objective obstruction.

When I look at a physical fact and say it is not a necessity, it will tend to evaporate by the Law of Mind, and vice versa.

All my words have creative power, particularly constructive words.

I have great conviction that my words are effective, which come from my inner experience and realization of the Divine inherent within me.

My words and thoughts provide the channel for the flow of Spiritual Power.

I am living in a Spiritual Universe now.

I realize that I am here, not only to live, but to create.

 So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for my own self-expression, for love, for creativity and for Spiritual Power in my life.
