May Idea of the Month

This month we are talking about perfection. What is perfection? What does it look like? How and why do we judge something as "perfect" or "not perfect"?

Science of Mind teaching tells us we are all perfect, whole, and complete. Do you believe that? How close do you judge yourself to be to any of those attributes?

We must expand our concept of ourselves to believe that we are perfect, whole, and complete. We must recognize the Divine within to think of ourselves as Perfect. We must recognize the Unity within to think of ourselves as Whole. And we must recognize the Infinite within to think of ourselves as Complete.

What do you think of yourself? Share your thoughts below.

Until next time,
Namaste

April Idea of the Month

This month we are talking about Divine Right Order.
What is that?

Divine Right Order is how the Universe works. It's how the Law works. Everything at the right time, in the right way, for the highest good of all concerned.

When we step out of that Order, we push, we force, we upset the perfect balance that letting the Law do its work creates for us.

We may not see things changing as we want them to or as fast as we want them to. We start getting impatient. We start doing things. We start trying to figure out what we could do to make things happen.

What we should be "doing" is changing our consciousness about the situation. We get clear on everything regarding this situation and then give it to the Law to let it do its harmonious and perfect work. We let Divine Right Order express in our world.

What do you think? Share your thoughts below.
Until next time,
Namaste

March Idea of the Month

This month we are talking about fear and faith.  Fear is the antithesis of faith. Fear is anticipating something bad is going to happen. Fear is feeling that you will not be able to handle whatever comes your way.

The Faith we are talking about is the unquestioned belief in a principle and law of Good in this universe. A principle and law that we can direct and that responds to us and our faith in it.

In a universe that has this principle and law of good, there is no need to anticipate anything bad because it will never happen. If we stop anticipating the bad, then we have nothing to fear. Fear will dissolve into nothingness.

Are you living by a subconscious tendency toward fear? I know I have. And only by developing a stronger faith in the principle of Good, will that tendency be lessened.

It's not easy, but every step toward a greater and greater faith makes it possible.

Where do you have fear and where do you have faith?
Post your comments below.

Until next time,
Namaste

February Idea of the Month

This month, we are talking about "Putting God First." One way to do that is with the "Golden Key" created by Emmet Fox, a pioneer of the New Thought/Unity movement.

I tried the "Golden Key" recently (for the first time in a long while) and I demonstrated a resolution to a situation that I've been dealing with for 3 years! I started "Golden Key-ing" the situation and about 2 or 3 weeks later, the situation is gone, over, resolved.

Why did I live with this situation so long? (that's for another discussion at another time)

To "Golden Key" a troublesome person or situation, just stop thinking about that person or situation and think of God instead. Announce to the Universe that you are "now Golden Key-ing _______". Sit quietly, like in meditation, and instead of a mantra repeated over and over, turn your thoughts to God. Repeat in your mind everything you know about God: God is Divine Wisdom, God is the only Power, God is unconditional Love, God is everywhere present, etc.

Repeat those ideas in your mind like a mantra or stream of consciousness. When you are finished (and you can do this for as long as you like or as short as you like), do not start worrying or obsessing about the person or situation again. That will negate the Golden Key. Just go about your business, as Emmet Fox says, and let the Law (God) do the work. The next time you find yourself thinking of this person or situation, Golden Key him/it again.

What you are doing is channeling the power of your thought FROM your problem to the Source of the solution (God).

Try the Golden Key. You will be amazed at how beautifully and harmoniously it works. It worked for me. It will work for you.

Then share your powerful demonstration here with us!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone and welcome to an opportunity for a new beginning.

Every January 1 is a wonderful way to remind ourselves that every moment can be a new beginning.  A new way to think, a new way to act, a new idea to believe. Take this opportunity to make a new beginning for yourself in some aspect of your life. We are always growing and learning and changing. This is our chance to consciously choose what we want to change, what we want to learn, or the direction in which we want to grow.

It is our God-given ability to consciously choose. As Troward says, we select and initiate a particular line of thought.

May that line of thought prosper you, heal you, delight you, and fulfill you!

Happy 2012!

December Idea of the Month

December seems like a good time to reflect on the past year. I've been very pleased with following "365 Science of Mind" by Ernest Holmes this entire past year to increase my spiritual practice and in sharing it with all of you each month.

December is the month of Light in "365 Science of Mind". Light is understanding. Light is wisdom. Light is spiritual guidance. Light is divine intelligence. We have all these within us. This is our opportunity to reflect on 2011 with greater understanding, with wisdom, with intelligence.

Once we know where we have been, we have a better understanding of where we are going and where we want to go. We all need to slow down, stop, take the time for some quiet reflection. Go into the silence and listen.

Happy Holidays to all!
