Awake to the Good

"No good can come to us unless it make its advent through the center of God Consciousness which we are. The hope of destiny is latent in the slumbering thought and genius lies buried until the attention is winged with love and reason. To help those in need is indeed a great privilege. But the blind cannot lead the blind. We must awake to the realization that a Divine Partnership has already been formed between the seen and the invisible." - Dr. Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind

Today, I am conscious of my great faith and belief that the Universe supports me in my Good. I live without doubt and uncertainty for I know that the Good that I desire, God desires this very same Good for me. I know that as I depend on the Power of God, Infinite Spirit, I realize and actualize success, prosperity, joy, happiness, and love. I know that I am ready to accept .... and ready to receive my Good now. My consciousness is filled with Good and more Good ... my heart sings "life is Good all the time" ... and I am immersed in this Truth as I move forward enjoying the best of times and the best of everything ... now. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

SUGGEST PROSPERITY TO YOURSELF

"This is the law of prosperity: When apparent adversity comes, be not cast down by it, but make the best of it, and always look forward for better things, for conditions more prosperous. To hold yourself in this attitude of mind is to set into operation subtle, silent, and irresistible forces that sooner or later will actualize in material form that which is to-day merely an idea. But ideas have power, and ideas, when rightly planted and rightly tended, are the seeds that actualize material conditions. ........... NEVER give a moment to complaint, but utilize the time that would otherwise be spent in this way in looking forward and acualizing the conditions you desire. Suggest prosperity to yourself. See yourself in a prosperous condition. Affirm that you will before long be in a prosperous condition. Affirm it calmly and quietly, but strongly and confidently. Believe it, believe it absolutely. Expect it, keep it continually watered with expectation. You thus make yourself a magnet to attract things that you desire. Don't be afraid to suggest, to affirm these things, for by so doing you put forth an ideal which will begin to clothe itself in material form. In this way you are utilizing agents among the most subtle and powerful in the universe. If you are particularly desirous for anything that you feel it is good and right for you to have, something that will broaden your life or that will increase your usefulness to others, simply hold the thought that at the right time, in the right way, and through the right instrumentality, there will come to you or there will open up for you the way whereby you can attain what you desire." - Ralph Waldo Trine, "In Tune With The Infinite"

CONSCIOUSNESS OF PROSPERITY

"If you want to demonstrate prosperity, you must have a consciousness of prosperity. If you want to demonstrate activity, you must have a consciousness of activity. No matter what we are or what we want to demonstrate, we must have a consciousness of that thing. Certain thoughts produce certain things, and an opposite thought neutralizes it and the like thought adds to it. ... Dr. Ernest Holmes, "Love and Law"

As I recognize that all that I can accept is mine, I can know that I can receive within my consciousness a greater prosperity and financial supply now. I know that there is no lack in the Universe ... no lack of any Good thing. Knowing that ideas are spiritual coin, I affirm that the right and perfect ideas come to me to demonstrate great prosperity in my life. I am awake, alert, and willing to serve in whatever capacity to accept and receive the Good that is mine. I realize that the Universe is filled with untold riches and opportunities. I know that as I unify in my mind with this idea and believe and accept that I am part of this unity of wealth and prosperity, greater opportunities for wealth and prosperity are opened for me. As I depend on Principle to open the doors of opportunity, my thoughts and beliefs are aligned with wealth, success and prosperity. I know that the Law can only give me what I am receptive to ... so therefore, no idea or thought of lack shall enter through the door of my consciousness ... wealth and only wealth is mine ... an ever-increasing wealth is mine ... now. And so it is.
