Today Is The Day

Gratefully I recognize the Presence of G-d today, in all things and in all people. I know that this One Life which sustains and maintains the Universe in perfect law and order, is everywhere present. I acknowledge G-d as Intelligence, as Power, as Love, and all things good. I believe and accept that this Power in-dwells me and all of life as we know it.

I identify with the presence of this Infinite Spirit within me for I know that It is the Source of my every good desire, my hopes and my dreams. It is the way, the truth and the life, within me.

I declare in this moment that I use this Power and this Intelligence as I open my mind to new ideas that bring forth into my experience a greater happiness, a greater joy, and a greater success in all that I do. I know that as I depend on this Principle: All Is G-d and All Is Good, there is nothing beyond my reach or the capacity of my consciousness to embody.

My consciousness of success and prosperity contains the perfect mental equivalent, the perfect images, and the perfect likeness, of the good life that I accept for myself now, right now, in this moment. Today is the day. Today is the day in which my consciousness reveals in the physical that which I hold within my mind. Today is the day. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

My Eyes Are Open, Now I See

Credit to Dr. Ernest Holmes:

My eyes are opened more widely, and I look out upon a broader horizon. Across all the experiences I may have had which were limited or unpleasant, I now see the rosy hue of a new dawn.

Letting go of that which is little, I now enter into a larger concept of life. Dropping all fear, I entertain faith.

Realizing that every form of uncertainty is seeing only in part, I open my spiritual eyes to that which is wholeness. As I do this, the limitation, the fear, and the doubt slip away from my experience, taking their departure in quietness and in peace.

I turn to that which is greater and better and fuller ... the eternal life of happiness and of peace. My eyes are open to the breadth and the height and depth of that life which is God, that life which is good.

And so it is.

Keep the faith!

God's Perfection Within Me - Dr. Ernest Holmes Affirmation

The Master Mind Jesus: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven [within you] is perfect."

There is one Life, that Life is God, that Life is my life now. This Life circulates through me. It animates my whole being.

Whatever may seem to be to the contrary in my body is now made whole as I identify it with pure Spirit.

I open my mind as a channel for the realization of the Divine Presence and I affirm and accept it. Nothing within me can deny or reject it.

Because God is perfect, I am perfect.

I accept the wholeness of Spirit with complete conviction, identifying myself and everything that I am with the harmony, the perfection, and the wholeness of the life of God.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!

Affirmation Treatment by Eric Butterworth

From "Spiritual Economics" by Eric Butterworth: Speak this aloud, going through it several times until you feel that you have grasped its essence in your consiousness. And, finally, close your eyes and let the Truth of the words sink into your inmost and deeper-than-conscious level of mind:

"I am secure, for I know who I am: a richly endowed child of God. I am secure in all I do, for I know my oneness with the divine process. I am secure in all I have, for I know my treasure is in my mind, not in my things. I live my life from day to day as if God's supportive substance were as exhaustless and dependable as the air I breathe, which it most certainly is."

God's Grace Is Unlimited by Dr. Robert H. Bitzer

Whatever attention or help I may need is always forthcoming when I need it. God always maintains Its unity of being. Its creation forever lives and has its being in the One Presence. Its creative interest always sustains Its creation. It protects, guards, guides and nurtures it. Whatever is necessary is provided.

Spirit, as Its own creation, can never deteriorate nor disintegrate. My consciousness, my body and my finances are creations of Spirit. Spirit sustains Its own ideas by becoming the ideas It creates.

I am not subject to neglect. I cannot be misinformed nor misled. Infinite Intelligence provides me with the right information and knowledge. It reveals all I need to know about health and the maintenance of my body. It keeps me informed about finances. Mind is infinite in Its awareness and unlimited in Its ability to act. One with Its knowledge, I act from this limitless Being.
And so it is!

Lifting Up My Soul To A Greater Life Expression

I rejoice and give thanks for my awareness of G-d's Presence in all things and in all people. I know that this Presence is peace, joy, happiness, harmony, love and Intelligence. This Intelligence is revealed in all things throughout the universe. I know that this Intelligence is within me. It is this Intelligence that creates peace within me in the face of discord. It is this Intelligence that creates joy within me by filling my mind with hope and faith. I am a willing inlet and outlet for this Intelligence to express more and more of Itself through me, as me, and for me. I embrace the infinite possibilities that this life has to offer. I share the good that I have received willingly and lovingly, whether it be money, love, peace, joy or wisdom. I do not withhold anything that the Infinite has gifted me with, knowing and accepting that there is an infinite Source of Good always flowing to me and through me. I believe and accept that these words have created in me a perfect vessel to contain more and more of the good that G-d desires to give to the world, through me ... and I give it forth generously knowing that the more I give, the more I receive ... of every good thing. In this moment and always, I lift up my soul to a greater life expression, now.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!
