Knowing that I live in an infinitely abundant Universe, I know that I can claim that which is mine and this claim takes nothing away from anyone else. As I align my mind with the One Mind which is God, I know that the Good that I desire is the Good that God desires for me. In this awareness, I claim and accept my Good. I realize and know, that I can unify in my mind with my Good, and I can feel the presence of it in my life, now. I know that this Good benefits all those who come into contact with me, and I give freely of that which is mine to give. I know that I am not to "neglect the gift that is within me" ... and in this understanding, I release any and all things within my mind that may delay or hinder my Good. I am prepared and ready to experience the abundant life, now. I am prepared and ready to share the tremendous Good that God gives to me so freely. I know, and I know that I know, that my Good comes to me without delay with grace and ease. There is no competition for my Good and there is no lack caused by my acceptance of this Good. I am grateful for knowing that these words have the power to bring forth my Good, for I know that the Power of God has infused these words with Power, now. I am now a magnet for tremendous success and prosperity. I accept that God is expressing this Good through me, for me ... and there is no doubt in my mind that this Good benefits the world in which I live. In this consciousness of acceptance, I freely give and freely share all the Good that the Father has given to me. I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude and joy as I know that this is the truth for me now. And so it is.
Keep the faith!

March 14, 2008 & Love and Forgiveness
I rejoice and give thanks that I have the awareness that there is only One Mind, this Mind is God, and this Mind is my mind now. Knowing that in mind, I can always choose love ... love is always my decision. And in this choosing love, I forgive myself and forgive all others knowing that to forgive, I give up any feelings that are unlike God, Infinite Love. I am grateful for the awareness that everything is consciousness, and that consciousness is always expanding and embracing a greater concept of love and forgiveness. In this present moment, I am certain that love is always unfolding in the consciousness of everyone I come into contact with. I know that my love and forgiveness is boundless and that no matter who may seek my forgiveness, it is given automatically, for Love rules the Universe and Love rules my consciousness. And in this very moment, I forgive myself by knowing that no mistakes have been made and no mistakes are being made, now and always. And so it is.
Keep the faith!

March 13, 2008 & Give to the World
From "In Tune With The Infinite," by Ralph Waldo Trine: And so love inspires love, hatred breeds hatred. Love and goodwill stimulate and build up the body; hatred and malice corrode and tear it down. Love is a savior of life unto life; hatred is a saviour of death unto death.
* * *
There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and true,
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your heart will flow,
A strength in your utmost need,
Have faith, and a score of hearts will show,
Their faith in your word and deed.
Keep the faith!

March 12, 2008 & Believe That It Is
Dr. Holmes writes on page 338 of The Science of Mind: "UNTIL WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS, WE ARE BELIEVING THAT IT IS NOT! It is all a matter of belief, but belief is scientifically induced into a subjective state, through conscious endeavor."
* * *
This treatment is for success and prosperity. I believe in success and prosperity for me and for everyone. I know and I know that I know, that God, Infinite Spirit, has created an abundant Universe. I know that the Spirit of God, is within me and within all people. I know that as this is so, God responds to me and to everyone. I believe and I accept that success and prosperity are effects of the Spirit expressing Itself in me, as me, and for me. I know that all things and all people necessary for my success and prosperity to unfold with grace and ease are attracted to me now. I know that Spirit is Intelligence and intelligently works invisibly for me in all things Good that I choose to accomplish. I accept success for me now and for all who desire success. I accept prosperity now and for all people who desire prosperity. I know that God does not deny, withhold, or delay ... all is done in my consciousness, and my consiousness is filled with the Power of God, now. I feel a deep sense of gratitude and a genuine sense of appreciation for the success and prosperity that is mine now. I release these words knowing that they are filled with the Power of God and nothing or no one can hinder their complete unfoldment. And so it is.
Keep the faith!

March 11, 2008 & Imagination
This treatment was written by Dr. Joseph Murphy, author of the classic, "Power of Your Subconscious Mind":
"Where there is no vision, the people perish ..." (Proverbs 29:18) My vision is that I desire to know more of God and the way He works. My vision is for perfect health, harmony, and peace. My vision is the inner faith that Infinite Spirit heals and guides me now in all my ways. I know and believe that the God-Power within me answers my prayer; this is a deep conviction within me. I know that imagination is the result of what I image in my mind. Faith is, as Paul says, the substance out of which the image is formed. (Hebrews 11:1)
I make it my daily practice to imagine only for myself and for others also that which is noble, wonderful, and God-like. I now imagine that I am doing the thing I long to do; I imagine that I now possess the things I long to possess; I imagine that I am what I long to be. To make it real, I feel the reality of it, and I know that it is so. Thank you, Father.

March 10, 2008 & Receiving the Answer
This treatment was written by Dr. Ernest Holmes, author of "The Science of Mind" and a true American mystic:
I know that there is an inner Presence in everything. I know that this Presence responds to me. I know that everyone is an incarnation of God, that the living Spirit breathes through all. I recognize this Spirit and It responds to me. I realize that everything is alive, awake and aware with Spirit.
I commune with this Divine Presence. The Spirit within me reaches out and communes with the Spirit in everything and everyone I contact. It is the same Spirit in all, over all, and through all.
I have a deep realization that I am surrounded by an infinite Law which receives the impress of my thought and acts creatively upon it. I am conscious of my ability to use this Law, to direct it for specific purposes, for myself and others. There is nothing in me that can deny, limit, obstruct, divert or in any way hinder my use of this Law. It is within my own mind, because God is right where I am.
In calm confidence, in perfect trust, in abiding faith and with complete peace, I let go of every problem, as a problem. I receive the answer as fulfillment.
And so it is.
Keep the faith!

March 9, 2008 & Treatment for Everyone
Modified from a treatment written by Dr. Ernest Holmes:
Realizing that my word is the presence, the power and the activity of the living Spirit in and through me, I speak this word with complete confidence that it is the law of good unto each person for which it is spoken.
I know there is but one Life, that Life is God, that Life is the life of the person of whom I am now thinking. Every organ, atom and function of his/her physical being is rooted in a divine reality, has a pattern in the spiritual world which is now perfect, and I know there is nothing within him/her, or within me, that can deny or obstruct this divine reality which flows with complete freedom through his/her entire being.
As this spiritual circulation takes place, everything which does not belong to the divine and perfect Life is eliminated, calmly, joyfuly, peacefully. I realize this divine action and know that it is good.
And so it is.
Keep the faith!
