How Religion Expresses Itself

How Religion Expresses Itself

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 activate the principles of the spiritual universe.

I seek to discover the unfoldment of the Divine Being that already exists within me.

I realize that my own Divine Being is the same indwelling Spirit that fills all nature, all time and all space with its Presence and infinite unity.

I recognize that this indwelling Presence responds directly to my thought.

Spirit thinks through my thoughts and expresses itself through my actions.

God’s work is accomplished through me, as it eternally unfolds.

I am a unique manifestation of the whole that is rooted in the Infinite.

As a spiritual mind healer, I express religion by being one with unity and law.

My place in this creative order is as a dispenser of my Divine gifts from the indwelling God.

When I act in unity with God, joy and laughter take the place of sorrow and tears.

By being in unity with God, I am in unity with Good.

My approach to Reality is simple, direct and spontaneous.

I manifest right ideas, law, order, truth and beauty as I am guided by this Divine Presence.

My expression of religion is to be receptive to that greater side of my nature.

As I am guided into the unfoldment of my being, I rest in perfect peace.

With a grateful heart, I express overwhelming thankfulness

For more love, more kindness, more understanding and more compassion in my life.

And so it is. Amen.

Christ Consciousness

 

Christ Consciousness

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.

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 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 activate the consciousness of Christ.

I develop a sense of a greater reality through my highest acts and my deepest emotions.

My true nature is that insistent truth that is constantly unfolding to the full expression of my divinity.

My love is manifested through the gifts that I offer to life.

I give of myself to life with kindly thought, a tolerant mind and gentle acts.

I give my gifts with interest, enthusiasm and love.

I give my best to humanity.

The comfort of the Christ idea finds an enduring place in my consciousness.

The Christ idea guides me to truth and wisdom.

The Christ within me is free from all worry and cannot be hindered by any opposing force.

Eternal unfoldment and evolution is the law of my being.

I evolve through constant acquirement of knowledge, which leads me to a more profound understanding of life’s principles.

I know that I am surrounded by a law the works upon my word, thought and beliefs through which faith and prayer operate.

I believe that I am surrounded by Spirit.

I believe that the almighty is working in, around and through me.

I use my faith, words and deeds to heal and to bless the world.

And it is with overwhelming thankfulness that I accept that there is no wasted effort, as love, joy, peace and more good accompany all loving actions.

With an open heart, I release my word into the action of the Law to manifest in form, as it is already known in Mind.

And, so it is.

The Spiritual Universe

The Spiritual Universe

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 activate the principles of the spiritual universe.

I treat to give to others that which I desire for myself.

I treat to be that which I seek for myself.

I seek to reveal myself to myself.

I expect to receive exactly what I have given to others and have become myself.

I seek to harmonize with beauty, truth, goodness and love.

I recognize that spiritual mind healing and demonstrations come from living in harmony with the spiritual universe, establishing in my body a psychosomatic relationship.

I recognize that the mind and the body are the same thing.

I seek to embody the presence of peace, wholeness, love, harmonious relationships and prosperity.

I recognize that the spiritual universe gives me exactly what I need, because it resonates with my being at all times.

With a grateful heart, I express overwhelming thankfulness

For more love, more kindness, more understanding and more compassion in my life.

And so it is. Amen.
