Saturday Treatment - I Enjoy Immediate Results

2024-03-09T14:29:00.000-08:00

You must begin to contemplate this Power within you as answering your every need, supplying your every want, fulfilling your every wish; and you must believe that It does this immediately, right now-not tomorrow but today, because the Law of this Power within you knows no time. - Ernest Holmes Your Invisible Power

There is something within us that can lead us and direct us if we will but let it. It is higher than the thought of any man; it has nothing to do with creed, profession, confession, or the restriction of theological dogmas. It is in the integrity of our own mind, in the silence of our own solitude, in the immediate presence of that Divine Being inhabiting us and the universe. It is a Divine Presence within us which every great thinker has sensed, which all the poets have sung about, and all the great spiritual teachers have proclaimed. - Ernest Holmes

I Enjoy Immediate Results

I begin as I recognize the immediacy of the immanent infinite Power and Presence of that Something greater than I am which is what I am and infinitely beyond. As I see this Reality time, space, and boundaries cease their distraction of my awareness that all I require exists immediately present immediately available now. Now, I immerse myself in this Power/Presence and observe Its truths for me. I let It both form and answer my questions within me now.

I see that within this Reality all the life, health, vitality and healing I require are here now for my enjoyment. I embrace the immediacy of all-inclusive divine Love within me. I live each moment engaged with Life and those activities of my life that enrich and fulfill me. I see clearly that all people and events in my life are here for my benefit, and I am beneficial presence in the world and for the world by virtue of this magnificent Something. So, I live freely for I am health personified, engaged in my perfect life expressions, uplifted in love, and financially free to enjoy all my life fully. I am prosperity, I am confidence, I am success today.

I enjoy immediate results as I release my word and accept its fulfillment now. All good flows to me and through me in enriching loving quiet ways that fill my heart, mind, and soul with joyful gratitude. And so it is.

Rev. John Lusk RScP

First you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is the solution to every difficulty.It is like the sunlight of eternal truth bursting through the clouds of obscurity and bathing the whole world in glory. It is the absolute that you are dealing with and nothing else. – Ernest Holmes “Lectures on the Absolute”

Saturday Treatment - My Life Exceeds the Sum of My Parts

2024-03-02T17:04:00.000-08:00

I truly believe in positive synergy, that your positive mindset gives you a more hopeful outlook, and belief that you can do something great means you will do something great. – Russell Wilson

The word synergy comes from the Greek sin-ergo, meaning, to work together. It describes a mutually supportive atmosphere of trust, where each individual element works towards its own goals, and where the goals may be quite varied; nevertheless, because all elements of a synergetic system support one another, they also support the whole. – R. Buckminster Fuller

My Life Exceeds the Sum of My Parts

I contemplate the ideal of One whole, complete, and perfect Being which is greater than all Its parts which includes me for, by virtue of the fact of my existence I must and do participate in the All of this Being. Simply put: God is I Am as the I am that I am now and always. So, I exist synergetically among all seeming others, which must also be included in the One. I accept this as my guiding truth now and embrace the full implication that all things always work together for all good. Well then so do I.

I contemplate this moment with what understanding I have knowing that I draw upon infinite Wisdom as I am in and of the infinite One. My body is healing, restoring itself after surgery according to the divine pattern I am within and as part of this One. I consider my healing and realize that my healing mindset encompasses my universal relationship with the One which empowers me to see and claim healing for my planet, all civilization, and all its lifeforms fully active and revealing dynamic perfection and wholeness now within my mind hence within the One Mind which immediately includes my thought in Its willingness to see me and my world as perfect now.

Peace, joy, and gratitude well up within me. I rest assured that what I say, what I see exists as I see and say it. Now I relax and enjoy my vision of this reality and let it move me. And so it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Purify My Life with Humility

2024-02-24T16:28:00.000-08:00

Humility does not mean self-depreciation; it means recognizing the greatness of the Whole; the purity of Spirit; the perfection of God, flowing through us, unobstructed by anything that is vicious or anything that sets us apart as being better than, or different from, other people. – Ernest Holmes Glossary New Thought Dictionary

As water purifies itself by flowing, so an inner realization of the flow of Spirit through us purifies the stagnant pools of morbid thought, and in so doing eliminates stagnation in the physical body. – Ernest Holmes This Thing Called Life

Saturday Treatment - I Purify My Life with Humility

I take this time to dwell upon the infinite Love/Intelligence as ever-present, All-Knower, All-Power, and the only Actor as All-Action. I dare to contemplate myself as a divine expression of this Infinite Expressor and I allow the fullness of this ideal free flow through all my thought and feeling as it infuses me with the sense that I enjoy my reality by means of Its Presence, Knowing, Power, and Action in all I think, say, and do.

The pulsing power of Divine Love renews, refreshes, and vitalizes me with perfect life now and always. I know the constructive nature of God. It is goodness, peace, purity, love, light, and wisdom. I truly communicate with the divine as I realize harmony, receptivity, peace and joy always with me always revealing the purity and perfection of my universe and me. I realize too that humility is that wonderful way of being in this world that teaches me that I am the Divine living in and with the Divine in all guises and personalities. I embody this realization throughout my day. It is the means of my life of peace, assurance, gratitude, and love. In moments of distraction or forgetfulness it purifies my thoughts and reorients me on my path of life as a beneficial presence in my world. In moments of dis-ease it heals me. It always guides me and opens every door before me.

As I feel the Power for Good that is greater than I am welling up within me I release my word to It with complete abandon. I know It turns my word into actions that move me and my world in perfect harmony and produces all I claim and accept in perfect loving quiet ways. It blesses me with gratitude and joy as I let It do Its thing. And so it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Am My Greater Self Enjoying My Life

2024-02-17T17:31:00.000-08:00

A new life awaits us – one filled with security and well-being. Our watchword is balance. We are rich in Spirit, and our needs are met without making them the reason for our existence. – Jim Rosemergy

We must see God as the great self-knowing, understanding power of Infinite Intelligence, thinking through our own thought and willing into our own lives all peace and all good. More than this, God must become within our own soul the greater self, the inner life, the inner light that is to light our path to the attainment of the greater ideals. God is to become the great friend of our life, understanding us and helping us at all times to understand all things. – Ernest Holmes "The Authority of the Soul"

I Am My Greater Self Enjoying My Life

Infinite Spirit knows Itself as all the universe including me; and through Its knowing, Law produces exactly what It knows as It knows. The mind I think with is the Infinite Mind as myself within Itself and my knowing is also the Law in action specifically for me. I express what I know as I speak my word and all of the power of my knowing is my awareness of the Infinite Mind as It perfectly expresses as me.

I actively choose this knowledge now. My word as I speak it establishes within my mind a specific consciousness that I call prosperity. I know that prosperity is the quiet confident acceptance that everything is available for my use and pleasure at the instant that I reach for it because infinite Supply is always here, now, and ready for my enjoyment. I now enjoying the evidence of my understanding as my perfect life, which reveals me as vital life, creative, loving, and financially free. I thrive in the cusp of prosperity and forever expanding awareness of the Power and Presence of Love moving me firmly and gently into greater life.

I live each day filled with grateful appreciation, enthusiasm, and inspired action. I trust the Law and I release my word to It with a thankful heart, knowing that the Law produces exactly what I know that it does and so it is.

Saturday Treatment – I Am Spirit Ceaselessly Creating My Perfect Life

2024-02-10T14:29:00.000-08:00

We must understand that Creation does not mean making something out of nothing, but means the passing of Substance into form, through a Law which is set in motion by the Word of Spirit. There could not be a time when the activity of Spirit would cease. The whole action of Spirit must be within Itself, upon the Law which is also within Itself- and upon the Universal Stuff, or matter, which is also within Itself. The three must in reality be One; hence, “The Trinity.” – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

A prayer is a movement of thought within the mind of the one praying, along a definite line of meditation, that is, for a specific purpose. Prayer or meditation is for the purpose of becoming receptive to the Divine Influx. – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

Saturday Treatment – I Am Spirit Ceaselessly Creating My Perfect Life

As I contemplate the vast cosmos, the tiniest particle I discover intelligent unifying order. I am integral to that order necessary to complete the whole. I notice in my contemplation that an Intelligence greater than I am contemplates and recognizes Itself through me, as me. We are the same infinite Spirit/Mind/Body, Absolute and relative, Creator within Its creation complete and evolving. I am the infinite Being forever becoming more of Itself through my own personal spiritual awareness.

I realize my life as perfect now. My word moves me to accept Spirit/Mind/Body alive in me as me in perfect health and prosperity. It opens me to realize my life beyond my fondest hopes. Every challenge I encounter wakes me to greater acceptance of spiritual good forever with me. I celebrate as Spirit ceaselessly creates my perfect carefree life which blesses all I know and all I do.

Now, I gratefully declare my life a blessing in the world. I work, I play, I rest, and do all I do by means of and in complete reliance upon Spirit/Mind/Body active for me as me providing all I require in loving quiet ways. And so it is.

Saturday Treatment – I Am Love’s Gift to Life

2024-02-03T16:15:00.000-08:00

The true meaning of love is a wonderful thing: for it is the desire of the soul to express itself in terms of creation. Creation is brought about only through the self-givingness of the lover to the object of his or her love. – Ernest Holmes “Science of Mind Magazine” August 1996

We understand love only as we embody it. The only meaning that life can have to us is the meaning that it has in and through us. This is why it is necessary, in giving mental treatments, that we believe our own words, that we understand them, appreciate their meaning, and inwardly feel the presence of what these words suggest. – Ernest Holmes Glossary New Thought Dictionary

Saturday Treatment – I Am Love’s Gift to Life

God is Love. I am love. I live joyously in my profound awareness that Love is Spirit is all potential and all creation. Love is Life and that Life is my life now. I immerse myself in divine Love and open myself to all Its splendor, joy, and compassion as I let Love define me wonderfully.

I let Love rule my heart, my mind, and my affairs. Despite any appearance to the contrary I realize Love is the fabric of my desire and moves me in thought and word as I accept the perfect action of Intelligence which is Love in action producing beautiful days, uplifting surrounds and circumstances as it completes my actions with grace, ease, and fulfillment of my desire in loving quiet ways. Today I contemplate all who have taught me coached me throughout my life. I feel profound gratitude for this brilliant thread of Love as It taught me freedom, prosperity, and worthiness.

Now I release my word as law active in my life with quiet assurance that it returns to me as the blessing I intend. I accept my blessing of love wholeheartedly. And so it is.

Saturday Treatment – I Praise All I Am Today

2024-01-27T16:58:00.000-08:00

Let us daily say to ourselves: “Perfect God within me, Perfect Life within me, which is God, come forth into expression through me as that which I am, lead me ever into the paths of perfection and cause me to see only the Good.” By this practice, the soul will become illumined and will acquaint itself with God and be at peace. – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

Declare a hundred times a day: “Good and more good is mine. There is no limit to the good that is mine. Everywhere I go I see this good, I feel it, and I experience it. It presses itself against me, flows through me, expresses itself in me, and multiplies itself around me.” – Ernest Holmes “Science of Mind Magazine” Oct 1996

I Praise All I Am Today

Joyfully, I praise the Presence. As I say my praise, affirm and reaffirm my praise my awareness of the Presence grows. I feel within a glow of Divine Light uplifting me in greater praise until I silently sing my praise and completely immerse myself in awareness of the Presence forever with me as my mind, my life, my complete and perfect Self.

Deeply aware of my Greater Self I call upon It as I praise It in and throughout all existence and draw from It all life fulfilling knowledge and experience. I make this Presence my reality as I embrace ever richer relationships, deeper and more fulfilling interests, and dynamic activity that make all my reality uplifting and fulfilling. My days are full. My life is full. Now, I enjoy timeless awareness of this moment, this place, my world, all within it, myself.

I release my word and myself to this infinite yet immediate Presence and rely upon It to fulfill and manifest magnificence now. In praise and thanksgiving I claim my good. And so it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Accept Completion

2024-01-20T14:55:00.000-08:00

When a prayer or treatment is released it is a completed thing. It is now in the hands of the Law, and will be carried forward into manifestation, just as it is. – Ernest Holmes The Power for Good

Therefore it is very necessary that the eliminative faculty be quickened in one, and a right balance between receiving and giving, laying hold and letting go, be established. – Metaphysical Bible Dictionary

I Accept Completion

I recognize and acknowledge Spirit as my Source which constantly evolves all existence. Spirit is the Life of my life. I open to Spirit’s always present all-wise guidance within me. I discover and embrace my highest good by releasing any fascination with anything less than complete and perfect Life.

My prayer treatment is my focused intention and my highest and best action for achieving my intention. I give my life over to the Law, which immediately builds and manifests my intention perfectly as It moves me and synchronizes all my world to complete all aspects of my thriving success. I accept infinite possibility immediately available.

I focus on my completed results consciousness of the gratitude, peace, and joy I feel knowing the perfect flow of my whole life now. The rest is all the Law in action. The Law has made it so, I know that it is so and so it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Choose My Life Each Day

2024-01-13T14:32:00.000-08:00

To daily meditate on the Perfect Life, and to daily embody the Great Ideal, is a royal road to freedom, to that ‘peace which passeth understanding,’ and is happiness to the soul… – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

The human body is the sum total of Divine Ideas, and all Divine Ideas are Eternal, Universal, and Perfect. Therefore God, or Spirit, is the Life of the Real Body and the Essence of It. – Ernest Holmes Living the Science of Mind

I Choose My Life Each Day

I set the tone for my day each day by acknowledging infinite Love/Intelligence as my sole Source of my life, the Substance of my supply acting as the Law of good in my life. I am Life as Spirit expressing uniquely in, through, as me in all I am and do. I am Spirit humanly individualized, always whole, complete, and perfect. I cherish my spiritual perfection and focus on my Source in regular and random moments of meditative thought. In this way I fill with awareness of my constant Companionship in the reality of Its perfection

I find silent moments amid the hurry of my day when I listen intently for the whispered wisdom of All-knowing Mind. This quiet voice provides all wisdom I require and shows me my perfect successful realization of life. I trust this guidance over all world opinion, above all pundits, beyond the wisdom of the street. I move forward through every event and circumstance with ease, joy, and timeless grace. I dwell in peaceful appreciation accepting health, abundant financial prosperity, and fulfilled loving relationships with friends, family, and that special one I lovingly enjoy.

As I release my word within the ever-receptive omniactive Law, I know that It hears and acts even as I speak. My word demonstrates and evolves as the manifestation of a wonderful day and so it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Embrace the Divine as My Universe

2024-01-06T14:46:00.000-08:00

There is no interaction anywhere, there is only Omniaction everywhere. - Thomas Hora "The Eleven Principles of Metapsychiatry"

Enlightened man is an instrument of omniactive Love-Intelligence, the creative Principle of the universe. - Thomas Hora "Can Meditation Be Done?"

I Embrace the Divine as My Universe

I now enter a mindset of prayer treatment and meditation upon the Presence that is Love-Intelligence omniactive in the Universe for It is the only Actor and I Its willing instrument. I let this One guide and move me in right action openly accepting that what is, what isn't, and what seems to be are Its workings, Its acts of spiritual good. I let this good of God be my sole interest now.

Though I face many pressing problems, I see clearly that each one is already resolved and solved in my new and deeper awareness of Love-Intelligence constantly present and active as me and as all players and events of my life. Mentally, I re-see every problem in terms of the best solution I can think of then I release that problem to Omniaction, which answers it perfectly with alacrity smooths my entire realization of my life with peace, assurance, gratitude, and love. Now, free of all would've, could've, should've mental entrapments I move forward freely, gracefully, and easily with grace as I enjoy each moment of my life.

I sleep peacefully, wake joyfully, and embrace the quiet glory of my life as I release my treatment/meditation to the Omniactor which brings to pass my highest, my best, and my deepest desires while constantly providing all I require in full measure, pressed down, and shaken together. And so it is.

Saturday Treatment – I Become What I Believe

2023-12-30T14:40:00.000-08:00

Our beliefs and our deep-seated convictions inevitably out-picture and reflect themselves in our experience and environment, both in the physical condition of the body, and in the larger world of our affairs. What we outwardly are, and what we are to become, depends upon what we are thinking, for this is the way we are using Creative Power. – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

There should come to us a sense of communion, a spontaneous sense of an Irresistible Union. If we had this, we should demonstrate instantaneously. – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

I Become What I Believe

I turn within to commune with my divine center, in which my constant guiding Light forever uplifts, maintains, and sustains me. I accept the inevitable fulfillment of my life by grace and clear vision of my highest good. I live freely with spontaneous right action, as I know the constant Presence with me moves me ever upward in spiritual awareness as It reveals Itself in everything.

I am now aligned with my highest vision. I live that vision fully with the peace and gratitude of complete assurance that my entire universe reflects and fulfills my intention, which is possible, right, and perfect now. I appreciate everyone as part of the good of my life with my love and respect. Every aspect of my inevitable demonstration comes to me through infinite possibility, so I allow myself to flow with events in open willingness to give and receive.

I am in perfect harmony with my highest expectations. I give my best as I accept God’s constant companionship, I enjoy both expected and surprise manifestations of my expanding good. Now I release my word to the Law, which immediately makes it my reality and so it is.

Saturday Treatment - My Gift is Spirit’s Love

2023-12-23T19:02:00.000-08:00

All doubt, despair, and fear become insignificant once the intention of life becomes love, rather than dependence on love. – Sri da Avabhas (Adi DA Samraj)

Prayer is not something we do ... It is something we know. – Rev. Dr. Cynthia Cavalcanti

My Gift is Spirit’s Love

God is Love I am love expressing joyously in all I am. I involve myself, immerse myself completely in divine Love. I give my love today as my gift in this joyous season. The more freely I give the richness of my love the more I realize its return. Today as I intend love, I live freely amid all good. My focus is the rightness of life. I see in that rightness the perfection of the Divine in every event. Now, I know I am a beneficial presence in the world beholding the innocence and beauty of us all.

Divine Love appears in the relaxed easy movements of my body and the body of my affairs. I allow my relationships to unfold in love. I discover that I am gratified, satisfied, and fulfilled in even brief casual exchanges. My love is world enhancing as I give freely what I have and what I am willing to receive. I intend only good, share my good, and receive the goodness I seek. As the Image of Love I am health and happiness incarnate.

I find prosperity and accept a wash of plentitude flowing through the magnificent conduit that is my life. Now I release my word as the law of my life in quiet assurance that receive the blessing I intend for, so it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Break All Bonds of Necessity

2023-12-16T18:40:00.000-08:00

You are an individualized expression of the creative flow. There is something you can do that no one can do quite as uniquely as you. Somewhere there is a need for that special contribution. We live in an orderly universe. You are needed as much as you have need. – Eric Butterworth

Evans says “Desire for anything is the thing itself in incipiency;” i.e., the thing you desire is not only for you but has already been started toward you out of the heart of God; and it is the first little approach of the thing itself striking you that makes you desire it or even think of it at all. – Emily Cady Lessons in Truth

Saturday Treatment - I Break All Bonds of Necessity

I contemplate the idea that "Necessity is the mother of invention" and realize therefore that Necessity is nurturing, uplifting, and supportive as It shows me my right thoughts which lead to right actions and freedom of being. I continue my contemplation by recognizing that the father of invention is Acceptance. So, By following the guidance of Necessity and participating fully in Its gifts I open myself to the working of the Divine within me working as me to produce the life I desire which is mine as soon as I align myself with it, accept it, and joyfully live it.

Now, I yield to the divine wisdom of Necessity and receive willingly and gratefully all I require and desire in, as, and for my fulfillment and pleasure in this and every day. I see many apparent obstacles offer me immediate means of progress and achievement. My mood lifts. I feel renewed energy and youth. Vitality wells up within me. Mighty rivers of all forms of prosperity flow swiftly to me now as I enjoy many new creative avenues of expression. I find new friendships and deeper bonds with family and old friends. My years alive are assets accruing interest and enriching the life of today and every day.

I gratefully accept my uniqueness, my interest, and my talents as God given means to always be the me that I intend to be. As I release my contemplation, my word, it goes forth, produces my claim as my realization and continuous experience of life with all the freedom and prosperity Necessity brings to me now. And so it is.

Saturday Treatment - I See God’s Good and Live It Now

2023-12-09T18:18:00.000-08:00

We came from Life and are in Life, so we are One with Life; and we know that Instinctive Life within – which has brought us to the point of self recognition – still knows in us the reason for all things, the purpose underlying all things; and we know that there is nothing in us of fear, doubt or confusion which can hinder the flow of Reality to the point of our recognition. – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

Since God is everywhere, and since the subtle essence of the Infinite is invisible, we do not have to search out the Divine Spirit, but, rather, we should recognize It as the center of all life. That which we see is merely a reflection of this invisible Presence. – Ernest Holmes and Raymond Charles Barker Richer Living

I See God’s Good and Live It Now

There is only Life. It knows me, lives me, and forever remains my constant way of being. It is the I Am that I am constantly present constantly vitalizing all I think, do, and say in my perfect expression of Its divine perfection. I become aware of that Life as my reality.

My senses expand to reveal goodness in everyone and all events of my world. I live spiritually by trusting in Spirit under all circumstances. I thrill in my life as Spirit reveals Itself as peace and harmony. It surfaces as limitless immediately available supply of all I require before I know I require it. Love, Law, and Order prevail. Beyond appearances of any kind I see the righteousness of Spirit in action as the overriding law of my life.

My word of prosperity, peace, and joy defines the Law of my life now. I know all I need appears lavishly and abundantly at the instant I need it. I experience prosperity as I claim it. I live in quiet peaceful acceptance of warm loving friends and family. Joy always shines within and around me. I see the reason and reasonableness of things as they appear while knowing my word reveals things as they really are and I live accordingly.

And so it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Live Freely in Compassion and Joy

2023-12-02T16:24:00.000-08:00

But let us be sure that we believe, just as we believe our food will digest. Just as we know the sun’s going to rise in the morning. Just as we know that the world is still round. Just as we know that you and I do not know how it is we can eat ham sandwiches, drink milk, tea or coffee and have it turned into flesh, bone and blood and marrow – Ernest Holmes "The Secrets of Belief"

We can have no understanding of Divine Compassion unless we ourselves first exercise compassion. The very judgment by which we judge others becomes a self-judgment. It is as if the Law of Life were giving back to each one of us exactly what we have projected into it; as though everything that goes out from us must again return by a Law of Action and Reaction. – Ernest Holmes Help for Today

I Live Freely in Compassion and Joy

There is one infinitely wise Mind. That Mind is everywhere/everywhen. That Mind is my mind now. Inseparable union of infinite Mind ensures me of my own wisdom so, I let the infinite Wisdom of Divine Mind teach me what to say, show my highest and best way, and always fill me with life, enthusiasm, gratitude, and joy.

Now, I think and act in total trust of Divine guidance my inner compass, spiritual Source which created me, maintains me, sustains me, and ensures I thrive in all aspects of my life because that is Its nature. Because the nature of the Divine is changeless and ever-present, I live through every finite change with peaceful joy. The Divine reveals Itself in everyone I meet and shows me Its Presence everywhere and everywhen in everyone. Compassion fills me as I see the unity that is Divinity as humanity.

Increasingly, I realize humanity is my family, that we each always do our personal best. Increasingly, I feel my own feelings deeply and discover in them the innocence of my world. Despite anything to the contrary the Divine is discoverable in all beings and all events. I look for the Divine, behold It and celebrate my newfound freedom. I believe this and live accordingly. And so it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Realize My Potential

2023-11-25T16:40:00.000-08:00

The Truth is Indivisible and Whole. God is Complete and Perfect. A Perfect Cause must produce a perfect effect. Disregarding all evidence to the contrary, the student of Truth will maintain that he lives in a Perfect Universe and among people potentially perfect. – Ernest Holmes The Science of Mind

Whatever comes to me in life is my own fault. Formerly I didn't believe it. Now when I say it is my fault, I do not blame myself for anything that happens, because it is just as silly to blame myself as it is to blame anybody else, and it is always destructive; but recognizing what we are because of that which we are, it gives us a basis upon which to work in order to become that which we do not now seem to be. We have got to analyze ourselves. we have got to have analyzed out of our consciousness everything that is negative. – Ernest Holmes “Lectures on the Absolute”

Saturday Treatment - I Realize My Potential

I see and understand the limitless potential of perfection here and now within the Unity of Wholeness in and as all existence. What I see now and shall continue to see is the perfect Presence of the Absolute acting as and being all my objective world including my mind, my body, and the body of my affairs. Since this Unity of Wholeness is perfect and complete, I understand that I too am perfect and complete.

I acknowledge the right action inherent in all action even when that action seems to lead to greater challenges or difficulties. I allow myself to know that appearances do not define reality. They merely correspond to my expectation of reality, so I consciously seek to know my reality as the perfect flow of Life expressing and as immediate limitless good in my life now and always. As I intentionally choose my expectations and the evidence I desire to accept, I find what works for me, supports my fulfillment, and enhances all life. I discover the good in every experience, reaffirm that good in my thought, words, and actions and know that the Unity of Wholeness reciprocates by expressing as good in me.

Gratefully, I accept what I feel. My feelings underline my aliveness. I choose happiness, peace, joy, and love as the focus of my being as I reveal myself beneficially present in my world. By my word I claim only good in my every action and only good in all I receive and so it is.

Saturday Treatment - In All Things Give Thanks

2023-11-18T14:01:00.000-08:00

In everything give thanks. An attitude of gratitude is most salutary and bespeaks the realization that we are now in heaven. How we love to do for those who co-operate with, and are grateful for, our small endeavors! Gratitude is one of the chief graces of human existence and is crowned in heaven with a consciousness of unity. – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

Recognition, unification, and realization are the three steps in prayer or treatment. When we speak the words of thanksgiving to the God within, knowing “before they ask will I answer,” there is something in this attitude of thanksgiving that carries us beyond the field of doubt into one of perfect faith and acceptance, receptivity ...realization. Appreciation, gratitude and thanksgiving – the motive power which attracts and magnifies the hidden – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

In All Things Give Thanks

I recognize the life within me is my enjoyment of the limitless Life in which and by means of which all the Universe exists infinitely and perfectly now. I see clearly I am one of It uniquely me yet persistently It as well. How grateful I am as I delight in this understanding for I live in constant unity and companionship in the Oneness of Life.

I live this Life. I breathe It. I think It. I give It. I receive It in ever greater ways. Through darkest of nights and brightest of days It shows me my clearest path through my joyful vital life of thriving prosperity in wonderful ways. I am immersed in a wonderful atmosphere of love and compassion. The seemingly mundane activities of my day show me unexpected moments of humor and delight or provide tender compassionate exchanges with friends, family, and passing strangers - unknown soulmates in my infinite life adventure. I delight in my life adventure and thrill at the surprises it brings.

Now, I consciously enter my most profound and delightful state of peace, assurance, gratitude, and love. I know by choosing this state as my way of being in my world I open my whole self to ever greater blessings in life from Life, so all my days are days of thanksgiving and fullness of joy. And so it is.

The Truth is Indivisible and Whole. God is Complete and Perfect. A Perfect Cause must produce a perfect effect. Disregarding all evidence to the contrary, the student of Truth will maintain that he (she) lives in a Perfect Universe and among people potentially perfect. – Ernest Holmes The Science of Mind

Saturday Treatment - I Am Responsible

Now, I respond to my world and all that seems to be by looking through the appearances to their underlying Reality which is absolute complete perfection of being. I participate in that perfection by deliberately seeking greater awareness of Unity and Divinity of all the potential and actual Universe. Whether I call that Being God, the Absolute, Love/Intelligence or any other of the billions of names for God, I respond with whole heart and mind to Its presence with me now. I think, act, and live freely and easily within It keeping open to receive all Its blessings.

I am empowered and responsible for thriving in all aspects of my life. I exercise my responsibility by choosing how I receive the best from every person and event that I encounter. I focus myself on gems of truth and prosperity in every conversation. The Divine within reveals to me the Unity of all existence and the variety of choices I have that ensure I thrive in my world. It provides me with the clarity of perception to see the golden thread of perfection that as I follow it leads me to genuine life in peace, assurance, gratitude, and love.

I respond to the wonder and delight of life with calm confident acceptance of all it offers me now with full realization as I graciously and joyfully accept my good that good is magnified and multiplied as it flows swiftly to me now in perfect loving quiet ways under grace. And so It is

Saturday Treatment - I Accept the Wisdom of the Law in Action

2023-11-04T18:17:00.000-07:00

Spirituality is normality, that glad recognition of God everywhere. – Ernest Holmes “Lectures on the Absolute” (San Francisco 1920)

We must not be overly occupied with the details of the manner in which the Law is to work; simply see Its Power relentlessly fulfilling the demand made. We should rest and relax in this assurance, leaving to the Law of Mind the exact details as to how It is to operate for It knows exactly how to go about accomplishing our specific desires. – Ernest Holmes Ideas For Living

I Accept the Wisdom of the Law in Action

I look intently and behold God, perfect Spirit being everything I see. I see with Spirit’s perfect eyes and hear with Spirit’s perfect ears. I intuit Spirit’s action revealing divine wisdom through me as I may embody and express from Wisdom in all I think, say, and do. I claim this way of living as normal and natural and I am delighted to see my own normality in the wisdom of the people I meet.

My world glows with beauty and loving laughter. I see the light of divine Wisdom in every eye. I delight as tired faces brighten at my words of cheer inspired by my view of the Presence within us all. Kind words and caring remarks lift me into a wider, clearer understanding of the meaning and warmth of unity. I feel peaceful assurance as every task; every encounter evolves with perfect love. Even casual conversations are intimate revealings of heartfelt desires and concerns showing me that Spirit has truly made us all from One, one Life, one Love, and one Wisdom. I am open to Spirit Wisdom with heart, mind, and will and my openness fills with quiet awareness of that Wisdom now.

Releasing all thoughts or experiences to the contrary, I now embrace the demonstration of my word with gratitude as I yield to the Law of Life in Action, which takes my word and makes it my reality and so it is.

Saturday Treatment - All I Require Exists for Me Now

2023-10-28T17:19:00.000-07:00

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, - Deu 30:19-20 ESV

Creative Process sequence starts with pure Intelligence; movement of intelligence, which is intelligence becoming aware of something. The Law of Mind set in motion by consciousness, followed by the objective manifestation, or the demonstration. - Ernest Holmes Glossary New Thought Dictionary

Saturday Treatment - All I Require Exists for Me Now

Infinite Love/Intelligence is both infinite in potential and constant in expression of that potential as the Universe and as my immediate reality. I am, we all are individuated facets of Love/Intelligence unique and inseparable from Love/Intelligence and each other. The quote from Deuteronomy reminds me that the life and death, blessing and curse exist simultaneously, and my power is discernment and choice. I choose life and the blessings of life and discover all I require exists for me here and now that I may enjoy all good by simply noticing the presence of my good.

I become clearly alert to the reality in which manifesting is recalling that what I require already exists in mind and its location percolates to the surface of my mind so I my take whatever action needed to receive it. It feels to me like the pleasure of recalling a long unthought of name or fact which pops up as soon as I cease trying to recall it and simply allow my thought processes to work normally. Perhaps too manifesting my good is like looking at an infinite hidden objects puzzle and seeing clearly the good I require rather than the clutter and apparent disorder which fade to the background as I behold my need. Whether idea, information to bring my idea to fruition, or any physical means such as funding, tools, location, or whatever else I require the moment I realize that I have all I need now I also gain the inspiration and energy to act, to grasp, and to delight in my best life and all its blessings.

I let Love/Intelligence remind me as needed that my sole interest is the good of God which is spiritual. As I focus my full attention on that good all else dissipates and I fill with peace, assurance, gratitude, and love. And so, it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Expect I Receive

2023-10-21T16:46:00.000-07:00

We proceed on the theory that there is a Divine Presence in everything and everyone, and that this Presence responds to us. Our recognition of this, our acceptance of it, our prayer of affirmation causes a response to us in a new way. This is a new manifestation that rises to the level of our expectation, our faith, our conviction, and our inner acceptance. – Ernest Holmes 10 Ideas that Make a Difference

There is a pool of Mind around us always, which has the potential possibility of doing through us anything that is ever necessary for us to do. ... We each are surrounded by a possibility - Divine Mind - which, whenever we expect It to do something for us, automatically knows how to do that something. But It can only do for us what we believe It can do, because our believing is the nucleus of Its doing. – Ernest Holmes The Spiritual Universe and You

Saturday Treatment - I Expect I Receive

I recognize that the Power for Good in the Universe although greater than I am lives within and all around me, always available, always present, always active within and for me as all knowledge and action. My recognitions informs me that I am so intimately connected that this Power is always nearer than my breath and closer than my body. I dwell within the Divine that dwells as me. I trust It implicitly as I realize It is all my Reality.

With profound trust I expect my Power for Good to respond as I accept anything in my life experience by becoming what I expect. Therefore, I cull from my thoughts all expectations rising from fear or doubt. I discard dire warnings and the words of nay sayers by embracing every glimmer of peace and evidence that what is my highest good already exists for me now. With my interest focused on the Good of God, which is spiritual, I see it here now in my mind’s eye and know it is at hand readily available at the instant I require it. Whether ideas, wisdom, loving companionship, money, or anything else I now live in the constant flow of fulfilling uplifting manifest good.

I feel blessed now with peace, assurance, gratitude, and love as I live my life with clarity, focus, ease, and grace. Each moment opens before me as fulfilled visions of my magnificent potential to be, do, and have the best I conceive of. And so, it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Am Spiritual Being Enjoying My Spiritual World

2023-10-14T18:23:00.002-07:00

Creation is a constant progress, impelled by a continuous urge, propelled by a dynamic power and held in place through an infinite will and purpose and an immutable law. – Ernest Holmes Philosophy of Emerson

We are not caught in a universe controlled by a blind force. We are in the midst of and part of an intelligent, continually creative, dynamic conscious activity. God is ever going forth into new expression; and every word we speak, every thought we think is a further creative activity of God at the level of our expression of God. – Ernest Holmes The Practical Application of Science of Mind

I Am Spiritual Being Enjoying My Spiritual World

I see Spirit as All-Being the Absolute Source, Substance, and Reality in which and by means of which I am. I realize I am Spirit individuated as me and as my world and I realize that I am an integral part of all Spiritual Reality while living at the same time as a person with all that comes with personality, personal responsibility, and personal relationships. As Spirit is one Being infinitely expressing I am one expression increasingly expressing more and greater awareness of Spirit's potential as me.

I activate my expression of life by thinking dynamically about greater aliveness then allowing Spirit to actively move me in the direction I choose to go to accomplish and receive all the good choices I make. I enjoy every moment of the process and every result of my process as it evolves in my experience. Spirit in me as me constantly sustains my ever-better best in new and delightful ways for while I choose my results, I allow Spirit free rein in providing all means, channels, people, and events required to achieve them.

I release my choices calmly and confidently. The Law receives them instantly I know them. Now in quiet, confident, joyful gratitude I receive all in loving quiet ways. And so, it is.

Saturday Treatment – I Wake to My Prospering Inner Power

2023-10-07T18:21:00.000-07:00

We may not yet have arrived at complete freedom, but we are on the road, and we should be happy in the certain knowledge that we have an Infinite Power at our disposal. – Ernest Holmes Lessons in Spiritual Mind Healing

Imagination carries with it feeling and conviction, which means life and action. It awakens within us all the inner forces of nature and stirs into action latent powers which otherwise would never come to the surface. – Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

I Wake to My Prospering Inner Power

Infinite Power within me, which is entirely devoted to my good and forever at my disposal, wakens me to the reality that I am prosperity now. It responds to my ever-expanding conception of my life by producing for me the prosperity that I imagine. It reveals to me that all I conceive, its equivalent, and even greater is within It readily at hand.

I prosper magnificently in health, creative expression, relationships, and finances. My life is easy and free as I enjoy vigorous vitality and limitless energy throughout every day and in profoundly healing sleep every night in the peace of Spirit’s constant presence. Wonderful ideas pop into my awareness as I rely on divine intuition. In all of my creative expression, I know exactly what I wish to create and allow All-Power to execute the design and completion. This Power is Love/Intelligence which rules my heart, mind, and all of my relationships as I see this Love/Intelligence in and as each and all of us. My Power is limitless Supply providing me with every tool and every good thing lavishly and abundantly at the instant that I need it.

I am Prosperity expressed in wonderful loving quiet ways. I fill with gratitude and appreciation for all of the potential and manifest good in my life. As I release my word, allow it to be my law of experience, and smile with satisfaction, I know only good for, so it is.

Rev. John C. Lusk RScP

First you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is the solution to every difficulty. It is like the sunlight of eternal truth bursting through the clouds of obscurity and bathing the whole world in glory. It is the absolute that you are dealing with and nothing else. – Ernest Holmes “Lectures on the Absolute”

Saturday Spiritual Mind Treatment - I Harmonize with Change

2023-09-30T17:49:00.000-07:00

All facts and forms are relative. Time, space, and motion are relative. Everything that is created is relative. Relativity is the play of Life upon Itself. Life Itself is an abstract Absolute. It is changeless, but all change takes place within It. It is timeless, yet It gives birth to all time. It is formless, yet It creates all form. - Ernest Holmes Science of Mind

Consciousness means one's inner perception of life; one's interior awareness. When consciousness is reorganized in conformity with Truth, it automatically reflects a new impulse to the physical body and creates a new situation in objective affairs. Since consciousness is the real cause of form, and since form is merely a reflection of consciousness, it follows that wherever consciousness is changed, form automatically must change to comply with the new image of thought. - Ernest Holmes Glossary New Thought Dictionary

I Harmonize with Change

I settle my mind in quiet awareness of the eternal changeless One within which there is constant change as It contemplates Itself in all the infinite variations of Its Being. I recognize It as the Source and Substance of all I am of all I know and I gradually gracefully expand my awareness of Being as Absolute, as indivisible One, as the manifest Universe eternally manifesting Itself in new and wonderful constantly changing ways. I surrender to and harmonize myself with this ever-flowing process as my reality and thrive in all things.

As I attend to the flow of life in my body I adapt my diet, sleep habits, and activities with ease knowing the One is my Life and my vitality. I discover and enjoy new ways to express myself by listening to the constant yet ever-changing flow of ideas as the Divine Intelligence aspect of the One teaches me my genius, my talents, and my skills and prospers me in all I do. People come and go in my experience. Each reveals the perfection of Divine Love which is constantly with me surrounding, enfolding, and uplifting me. The One as Source from which all Substance manifests as the fulfillment of my every requirement before I even sense my need frees me to enjoy every changing day and allows me to live carefree, peaceful, and easy.

Now, as I deliberately expand my consciousness, I freely embrace and harmonize with change. I abandon all resistance and gracefully choose my direction. Now, I accept with open grateful heart all my change wrought blessings. This is my word. I release it and let it be for, so it is.

Saturday Treatment - I Am Rested and Restored in Vitality

2023-09-23T18:21:00.000-07:00

To reap a Divine vision, we must create a fertile space within ourselves for this undifferentiated potential to incubate and emerge as our lives and as our gifts, talents, and blessings. We must be willing to gestate our greatness by resting where the grace and ease of the flow takes place. – Rai Jordan The Visioning Guide

Our faith is based upon the All-Power of the Law. We are convinced that Mind has all Intelligence, all Ability, all Power, all Wisdom, and knows how to create anything that is created. We can think of the most difficult thing it is possible for our finite mind to imagine and can rest in the assurance that Mind knows how to solve that problem or to create the new condition. – Ernest Holmes How to Use the Power for Good

Saturday Treatment - I Am Rested and Restored in Vitality

I cease my hurried thought, actions, and reactions as I take this peaceful moment to recognize the Divine within as my director and constant guiding companion. Divinity lives within me and as me, so I live in perfect trust of this inner wisdom and allow it to sow Its fertile seeds of my future which grow as my conscious now. I participate fully in that growth and in the birthing of the vitality of my vision by resting or acting as guided from within.

I harmonize my life in perfect synchrony with my emerging future as my immediate presence and my highest good as it reveals through my dreams, and my continued visioning. I give myself ample time for dream filled sleep and upon waking I see my vision’s channel and participate fully in its flow. New ideas, delightful relationships, opportunities for all forms of fulfilling experience, and awareness of beauty reveal in both the remarkable and the mundane, which lead me to embrace the ever-greater reality of my potential while I release all my old limitations and embody greater freedom and powerful new self-concepts.

Now I accept the perfect action of the Law as it takes my word and makes it my reality. I feel profoundly grateful as I realize my highest possibility of self-expression in all areas of my life ready to be, do, and have all that life offers. And so, it is.
