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!

November Idea of the Month
November is always associated with the Thanksgiving holiday. For most people it is all about food, family, football.
Which is all well and good. Especially if it makes the average person stop just for one minute and reflect on feelings of gratitude.
But we are seekers of spiritual growth. We want to be more than average. Thanksgiving and gratitude should be a daily practice. Is it for you?
Gratitude is acknowledging the workings of God in your life. It is recognizing the Power and the Presence. It is dwelling in the Spirit. It's a pause from our normal unconscious rushing-around living.
What a wonderful reminder.
Usually, we fixate on the ONE thing that is our latest problem. That means we ignore the thousands of things that are going RIGHT in our lives. I've done that. We've all done that.
Being grateful and thankful brings us back to those thousands of things. It makes us realize how blessed we are. We are blessed by God and we can show how much we appreciate it just by being thankful.
That's not too much to ask!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season.
Until next time,
Namaste

The Passing of Steve Jobs
I join the world in mourning the loss of Steve Jobs. His unique expression of creativity can never and will never be duplicated.
He suffered from pancreatic cancer for 8 years.
As I watched the review of his life and accomplishments on many TV channels last night, it was mentioned that he sought out alternative treatment for his condition. Oh, how I wished he had found Religious Science in that pursuit. I'm not saying that if he had received Spiritual Mind Treatment from a Religious Science practitioner, that he would still be with us today. But it could have happened. He could have been healed.
Look up cancer and pancreas in Louise Hay's book "You Can Heal Your Life". Cancer is the repression of feelings, it is letting unexpressed feelings eat you up inside. Pancreas represents the sweetness of life. Something, at some point, took the sweetness out of Steve Job's life and he could not allow himself to express that.
In my opinion, it probably was when he was FIRED from his own company! Can you imagine? You found a company, it becomes big enough and successful enough that it needs a Board of Directors. And that Board turns around and pushes you out. Then when the company flounders without you and almost goes into bankruptcy, they come crawling back to you and begging you to come back. Which you do. And you turn the company around to become the first or second most valuable company in the world!
What does that say in general about the "corporate" mindset? Why do you think people are sick of corporations pulling crap like that. It is heartless behavior. And Steve Jobs, from what I know, said nothing of their treatment of him. He just came back and used his genius as he was meant to do.
He said his firing was the best thing that ever happend to him. I am not so sure. I think it was the beginning of his cancer.
Oh, how I wish he had found Religious Science.
Happy trails to you, Steve, on your new journey.

October Idea of the Month
This month, Ernest Holmes calls October the month of Fulfillment. It is the natural and inevitable end result of the Creative Process. Spirit, Mind, Intelligence must be expressed on the physical plane. That is the fulfillment. As we discussed in the feature article in this month's newsletter, there is a correct order of demonstration or fulfillment. We wonder why a certain thing does not demonstrate or manifest, it is because we are not following the correct order of the Creative Process as outlined by Jesus in the Bible.
We must "think rightly" as he says. What is that correct order? Read my article! Subscribe to our newsletter.
Then practice this order and see what wonderful things happen!

September Idea of the Month
In our free monthly newsletter, we discussed the designation of September as the month of Expectancy (as Ernest Holmes lays out in "365 Science of Mind").
I sort of speculated that the ninth month of the year is associated with 9 months of human pregnancy and a woman "expecting". You have to remember that this book was written in the 1950s! Was Ernest Holmes showing a little bit of dry humor?
At any rate, expecting your good is a crucial part of treatment work and demonstration. The fourth step in the 7 Step Spiritual Mind Treatment that I was taught and that we offer as an e-course at Conscious Kernels is "Simplify", which includes the idea that "what I expect to happen, happens". That simple.
Expectancy removes doubt. It removes hesitancy. All of which are important in training our consciousness to accept the good already given to us.
What if you started expecting good things to happen? You set out on a trip or a date or an appointment. What if you expected only good to happen in that experience -- before you went on that experience? I would suspect you would have a good experience!
Why not do a little experimenting with expecting good? As you grow more accustomed to expecting good, you will receive it. You will be training your subconscious to expect it, to look for it, to create it.
Now Good on all of you!
Until next time,
Namaste
