Quote of the Day
June 9th, 2011Today’s quote of the day comes from A Year of Daily Wisdom, by Ernest Holmes.
“Today I uncover the perfection within me. I look out upon the world of my affairs, knowing that the Spirit within me makes my way both immediate and easy. I know there is nothing in me that could possibly obstruct or withhold the divine circuit of Life and Love. God flows through me to all. Good harmonizes my mind, so that Love sings joyously in my heart. I am completely conscious of All-Good within me, around me, and in all that is.”
Say the words aloud to yourself or with your group. Internalize these words until you feel the peace and harmony that comes from realizing that you are a conduit through which the Love and power of the Spirit flows. Then, take notice of all the wonder and beauty of creation around you.

How to Develop Faith
May 17th, 2011The method by which one develops Faith, where it does not already exist, is extremely difficult to describe. It would be like trying to describe the color green to a blind man who had never seen colors, and has nothing with witch to compare what you describe to him.
Faith is a state of mind which you can develop at will. It is a state of mind (so to speak) which can be activated voluntarily, through the application and use of auto-suggestion. Like the athlete who sits quietly in his room and concentrates on making jump-shot after jump-shot, so you too can develop faith.
You may benefit by passing on to your unconscious mind through meditation, any desire that you wish to be translated into its physical equivalent. This is not meant to suggest or ascribe “occult” powers to the human mind. Yet it exists as a spiritual reality that as little-Gods what we think, dwell upon, pray for, and feel about does come to pass as a matter of universal law. It is at this point that many people get mixed up and use Faith in a negative way, such as the belief that we are doomed or that our success and failure depends on some strange economic force over which we have no control. You will understand from this statement that the mind state of Faith will translate into its physical equivalent any thought-stream, meditation, or beliefs held (consciously or otherwise) of a negative and destructive nature just as readily it will those of a positive or constructive nature.

tamaso maa jyotir-ga-maya;

Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih.
In English:
O Lord lead me from the unreal to the real.
Lead me from the darkness to light.
Lead me from death to immortality.
May there be peace, peace, and perfect peace.”
