" I Am Self-Knowing, Self-Projecting, Self-Fulfilling" - Dr. Robert H. Bitzer

My consciousness is all-knowing and fully informed regarding all that I want to be and do. It weighs the pros and cons involved in every decision and develops an infallible balance in every conclusion. Its clear decisions are backed with tremendous power for fulfillment. Consequently, I do not waiver nor falter.

Every step I take is in divine order, and all things everywhere work toward the accomplishment of my desire. I am fearless and resolute because my self-knowingness reinforces my decision and keeps it fresh.

This firm conviction causes me to act with confidence and power. This authority of my inner being makes itself apparent in all relationships. My authority over myself is complete. It concerns no one else. Wherever I am, I am in complete command. I place myself where I am, and I can remove myself.

I am the complete law of operation. I am serious in my decisions and undertakings and keep out conceit and false pride. I am free from tensions and strain, for I let the law do its perfect work without interference. I am conscious of the divine fulfillment.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!

Right Activity is Continuous - Dr. Robert H. Bitzer

The energy of the One Mind never slows down. Nothing in life ever stands still; every manifestation is intense activity. Divine Wisdom operating in me gives this activity constant direction. Divine Wisdom is never wasteful in Its activity, but always directive and fulfilling.

Infinite Intelligence knows no lull in my finances or anything else that concerns me. My business is Its activity consciously directed for the fulfillment of specific patterns. Activity is always guided by Intelligence. It knows where I am going and makes me fully conscious of all potential in the situation when I arrive. Intelligence cannot be encumbered or bogged down. No matter what responsibilities are involved, Its active, energizing power cannot be slowed down. The greater the demand placed upon It, the more vital Its forward thrust.

Wherever I go, this activity makes alive and vital all relationships. Everyone I deal with is successful. Every place I go is prospering, for this activity always sustains perfect being.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!

"I Am Established In Truth" - Dr. Robert H. Bitzer

Spiritual Treatment: I do not belittle anything that I do. There is no great and no small; only ideas demanding fulfillment. Each experience is important. Each idea contains a life experience. I am an integral part of the Divine Pattern.

God works by means of me. I am essential to the divine unfoldment. Consequently I accept myself as a necessary adjunct of God. Without me God would be handicapped. That is why God created me. Of course, God could have created whole regiments to do what needed to be done, but God created me.

With deep gratitude I accept the choice which Spirit made. My divine self-recognition honors and glorifies Spirit. I am about my heavenly Father's business. I joyously fulfill the divine requirements. I glory in my cosmic role. In accepting myself I provide the outlet of the Cosmic Mind to be. The power of my self-acceptance glorifies the power of the Infinite Mind. I am all that It is. My complete demonstration is inevitable.

And so it is.
Amen.

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!

The Peace At The Heart Of God Is The Peace At The Heart Of Me

Credit to: Dr. Robert H. Bitzer, "The Creative Word"
". . . the work of the righteousness shall be peace." - Isaiah 32:17

My Reliance upon the presence of God gives me poise and power. My relationship with God cannot vary because I am in God and God is in me. Nothing can disturb this relationship. I maintain perfect equilibrium. Regardless of storms around me, or opinions of others, the presence of God in me keeps me stabilized. This conviction keeps me true to my course.

This balance is maintained between my desire and my expression, my thought and its creation. This Presence permits no trouble to come into my life. Nothing of confusion can enter my atmosphere. This peace would automatically repel any approaching disturbance. Wherever I go, harmony is established before I arrive. This same law causes whatever I do, to work out harmoniously. This peace at the center keeps me conscious of the depth of my spiritual power. My awareness of the One Presence sustains my unified being in its right expression. This peace coordinates all action and brings complete harmony on every plane of activity.
And so it is.

Power Within My Word - Dr. Robert H. Bitzer

My religious experience included the First Baptist Church of Paris, Missouri and then conversion to Catholicism. After many years of experiencing the limitations of religion, my first visit to the Hollywood Church of Religious Science on Sunset Boulevard, was life-changing. Dr. Bitzer's lecture that day seemed like it was directed to me personally ... I was enraptured and felt the bliss within of knowing that I had finally found "the truth that sets man free." Below is one of my favorite spiritual treatments written by the great Dr. Robert H. Bitzer:

My word is my consciousness of specific action. It has intention, purpose and meaning. It is the intelligence of the One Mind moving in a prescribed direction for a definite accomplishment. My word is the movement of Spirit knowing where it is going and what it shall do. It draws to itself its own receptivity and entails perfect cooperation. It knows how to get its greatest response and creates its own recognition as it proceeds.

The power within my word is inexhaustible because it is impelled by infinite energy. It creates its own allies and contributors. I act in complete confidence knowing that my word is self-contained in Intelligence, understanding and power.

My word completes its cycle of perfect expression. I recognize its power and accept its fulfillment. It brings inevitable change and expansion, all of which I accept. I have the consciousness of being its expression. I adjust instantly to the new experience which my word produces, for it is the forward movement of my true being. I have the new ideas that match the new experiences. I am completely oriented in its higher unfoldment.

My word creates the larger expression of that which I am already in consciousness now.
And so it is!

Keep the faith!

Divine Activity by Dr. Robert H. Bitzer

Special Note: Dr. Robert H. Bitzer was the Founding Minister of the Hollywood Church of Religious Science, in Hollywood, California. He established his church on the famous Sunset Boulevard and paid for it, in full, within 8 years. He was a Master Teacher of Absolute Principle, which is the foundation of the Science of Mind philosophy.

Please study this spiritual treatment written by the great, Dr. Robert H. Bitzer:

I am part of the movement of the Divine. I do not waste my energy in needless or useless activity. All activity in my life is directed toward my goal; therefore, it has meaning. Everything I do is related to the achievement of my desire. In this way my energy is utilized in its fullest power. I do not spend unnecessary time contemplating details. I know the direction of Divine Activity takes care of all details.

At all times I am at my best and give my utmost to every endeavor. My work is completed on time. I give the right attention each experience merits. I am up to date in my thinking and up to date in every phase of my living. All activity in my life is divinely coordinated, directed, and fulfilled.

This consciousness of right activity dissolves any belief in inaction. My life cannot stand still, for its expression is the constant un-foldment of Divine Activity fulfilling Its goal. Every thought and every feeling bears witness to this progress.

And so it is.

Keep the faith!

I AM CONVINCED OF THE TRUTH

PRESENT THE TRUTH TO THE SELF .... Perhaps at first we receive no response. We do it again. We continue presenting the Truth to the self until the first thing we know it is established as a conviction. The idea of perfection within, presented over and over to the self, creates our belief. - Dr. Robert H. Bitzer, "All Power To You"

I enter into the silence believing that everything that requires healing in my life, is healed. I know that all healing is done in the silence. This is my conviction and I know it is the truth. I accept within myself that God-in-me knows what to do, and does it ... to bring forth the desires of my heart; health, happiness, love, success, and prosperity. I have a quiet confidence in the Truth for I know that It knows no opposition. I bring to the surface of my conscious mind the recognition that I am in the presence of the Presence. It permeates my mind, my heart and my soul. I am not certain where my spirit leaves off and the One Spirit begins for I feel immersed in Its love and Its infinite Good-ness. I know that I am safe and secure, and that my life is sustained by the One Life which is God. This is the Truth for me and for everyone, as there is only One .. and I am in It and of It ... It is my life, my success, my health, my prosperity, my happiness, my joy ... and my love. This is the Truth. I am convinced of the Truth and It demonstrates an abundant Good in my life ... always. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

"God endowed me with the ability to succeed. This God quality of success brings success in all that I do. Divine Principle always fulfills. Everything I undertake I complete. Wherever I go I act in confidence. ... Success is operative in my business and in my finances. Everything I need to prosper is made manifest; the right merchandise, the right customers, the right ideas, nd the right clients. The value of my service is recognized, appreciated, and remunerated. Success governs every transaction. ... The principle of success is manifest in my home, in my marriage, in my relationships with those whom I love. Perfect understanding and appreciation govern. ... This consciousness of success surrounds me with successful people. Nothing of limitation can exist because the infiniteness of God's abundance is sustained. Everyone with whom I work prospers. Everything my thought touches prospers. God knows no favorites but blesses all." - Dr. Robert H. Bitzer, "the creative word"

Divine Principle Abundantly Supplies All That I Desire

"... we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen." - II Cor. 4:18

THE EVER responsiveness of Divine Principle assures me of my security. I know that whatever I need is always made manifest. My prosperity is not limited by things because I know that consciousness is the creative power. I am aware of an infinite capacity to receive and an infinite capacity to express. I know that God Mind in me is right knowing.

No concept of limitation can interfere with my abundance. Definiteness does not create limitation because each idea that I complete and demonstrate is superseded by a new idea which I complete and demonstrate. Forms of expression are steps in an ever progressing consciousness of abundance. I have no fear of limitation because it can never be anything but a thought. Since I control that which I think, I cannot be in bondage to any thought. The Intelligence within me which chooses he idea is the same Intelligence that releases it as a completed cycle. Divine Principle expresses abundance in me at all times.

April 17, 2008 & I Am Receptive To My Good

From Dr. Robert H. Bitzer, 1957 ...
I AM RECEPTIVE TO MY GOOD
"He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." - Matt. 19:12
There is that within me which knows how to receive my Good. I accept it without embarrassment because I know that all that I accept I shall give out again. The law of supply maintains its balance. That which I receive, I give. That which I give, I receive.
I know that my receptivity is always on the level of my thinking. I think without limitation, therefore I receive without limitation. Life expesses abundantly through me.
I accept my good. I am Good conscious. I think Good. I talk Good. I look for Good. I expect Good. Only Good can go forth from me. As a consequence only Good can come to me. My positive thought establishes the level of my good expression.
Everything necessary to maintain this expression is included within my thinking. I have the right attitude t0 call forth Good. My vision penetrates every appearance and reveals to me perfection.
I give generously of love and service; therefore, I receive generously, for the law maintains its perfect balance.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!

March 24, 2008 & Divine Abundance

This treatment was written by Dr. Robert H. Bitzer, founder of the Hollywood Church of Religious Science. Dr. Bitzer paid for this church located on the famous Sunset Boulevard within eight years. From his consciousness of Principle and Abundance, when he made his transition, the church was fully paid for with an excess of $3m dollars in assets. His book, "Collected Essays of Robert H. Bitzer," is available on Amazon.com
-----------
I DEPEND UPON DIVINE PRINCIPLE FOR MY LIMITLESS ABUNDANCE.
". . . . I am become rich, I have found me out substance." - Hosea 12:8
I KNOW that money has no power over me because I am that which creates money. I have the power to give myself wealth or to withhold wealth. I am opulent, abundant. This awareness is my true prosperity and my never failing security. I am one with limitless substance which is God.
Substance which is God cannot be denied, because God could never be poor nor limited. I know that I, too, am the consciousness of that which God is. There is nothing in me that could cause me to be aware of limitation or permit any condition of lack. I am conscious of the limitless abundance which is God.
I live opulently because I know that all that the Father hath belongs to me. I am the prosperous life which God is. I live in that conviction of prosperous being. My consciousness is quickened so that the awareness of opulence and wealth is vitalized. I know my prosperous, abundant self finds its complete fulfillment. And so it is.

March 18, 2008 & The Divine Directs Me

From "The Creative Word," by Dr. Robert H. Bitzer, page 121
DIVINE INTELLIGENCE DIRECTS ME TO MY GREATEST GOOD
"When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee." - Proverbs 6:22
----------------
WHETHER I am conscious of it or not, Divine Intelligence guides me. It directs my every effort into my greatest achievement. It permits nothing to interfere with the positive, progressive momentum of my life. No confusion can exist in or around me because the Directing Intelligence sustains right action. This Intelligence makes easy my work. I am directed to each place where I can be the most effective. That which I have to offer is made consciously known to those who need it; and the Guiding Intelligence leads me inevitably where my work, my talents and my abilities are recognized, appreciated and rewarded.
This Guiding Intelligence draws to me the opportunities which I need for the achievement of my good. The dominant thought pattern of successful achievement influences everything I do. It automatically repels frustration or failure. Its positive impetus for success is so great that it makes its success known.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!
Rev. Bates

March 17, 2008 & I Stand In Faith

From "The Creative Word," by Dr. Robert H. Bitzer, page 93:
I STAND IN FAITH AND GIVE NO POWER TO FEAR
"Thy faith hath save thee; go in peace." - Luke 7:50
- - - - - - -
MY LIFE is grounded in Truth. Awake or asleep, the God Presence fills me, watches over me, guides me, and protects me. I have no silly superstitions regarding fear - secret or otherwise. My faith in God does not permit fear to have any power. I live in the conviction that the God Presence always holds me secure.
Whatever I start works out right. Wherever I go I am always in the right situation. Everyone that approaches me does so in the right attitude. Consciously and unconsciously, I live in the atmosphere of faith. I am positive in my recognition that God always directs. This Directing Power always keeps me in the right atmosphere. Doubt and uncertainty have no place in my life because my positive faith is always in charge.
My acceptance of Truth gives no power to any seeming unbelief. No claim of limitation or luck has any power. I am not afraid of the idle word or frivolous thought because my faith always controls my thinking.
And so it is.

Keep the faith!
Rev. Bates

January 11, 2008 & "Be Versatile"

"KEEP FAITH WITH YOUR SECRET DESIRES. Your dreams, your aspirations, your hopes are meaningful and important. They must see the light of day. Believe in your unseen ability and develop your hidden talents. Make your dreams come true. ... Your major decision - your life's work or profession - should dominate your thinking, and rightly so. Subconscious law works relentlessly to achieve this." - Dr. Robert H. Bitzer, Collected Essays

I rejoice and give thanks knowing that the secret desires of my heart have been planted there by the only Intelligence there Is, God, Infinite Presence. Knowing that my desire to succeed in my chosen profession is God's desire for me, I am relentless in gaining the knowledge and the aptitude to demonstrate this profession in my own unique way. I am always interested and fascinated with the work that I do, knowing that there is always something new to be expressed. I open my mind to prosperity and know that what I do is worthy and deserving of abundant compensation. I am always compensated for my efforts and money comes to me with ease as my mind is always focused on doing my best at all times. I am never without the right idea to expand my work beyond what I have accomplished in the past. I know that my decision to accept the Divine ideas that come to my awareness will always bring me success and prosperity as I act on them with the intention to succeed. I am happy with my success and happy to further my success in all areas of my life. I am accomplished at being versatile and am always open and receptive to the Good that God has for me, now. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

December 30, 2007 & Time to Act

From Dr. Robert H. Bitzer - May, 1994 "The time to act is when you get an idea. Ideas do not appear at random or as casual experiences. Each idea has a pattern, a design and a plan. When it appears, learn to act on it quickly. To ignore it or postpone it is to deprive it of its power. To be effective the idea requires instant acceptance on your part because it may involve a time element. Perhaps it cannot be fulfilled for a week or on a certain date. Don’t let that deceive you. When it appears you either accept it or reject it. Although you may not think you can act on it on its due date, the moment you receive it is the time for action. Therefore, affirm this new project idea as acceptable by you this moment – that it is established in Divine Principle and that everything necessary for complete fulfillment is included now – this very moment. Neglecting to take this affirmative, instantaneous action of acceptance can result in all sorts of delays. The immediacy of the idea’s creativity can be delayed only by you. Lack of recognition is a neutralizing power. Don’t let this happen to you. It is not necessary to know how the idea is going to be fulfilled, but it is necessary to know that Divine Principle knows how, and includes that “know-how” as it is revealed to you and unfolded in your consciousness. Keep your acceptance current."

Today, I establish within my consciousness the acceptance of the idea that has come to me today to enlarge my capacities. I know that this idea was given to me to accept and to embrace it now. I realize and accept within my consciousness that my desire to actualize this idea in my experience is God's desire for me. I know and give thanks that I have been called to this new idea, and I realize that its fulfillment is assured. And so it is.

Keep the faith!
Rev. Bates

November 22, 2007 & Meditation of Thankfulness

This meditation was written by Dr. Robert Bitzer, who was one of the greatest teachers of the Science of Mind. I have read it each year on Thanksgiving, 3-7 times to really get in the spirit of it ... I invite you to do so as well:

A MEDITATION OF THANKFULNESS by Robert Bitzer

I thank Thee, That Thou has made me in the image and likeness Of Thine own Divinity. That Thou has held me close to the heart of Thine Infinity. And warmed me with the presence of Thy Divine Love. I thank Thee, That Thou has breathed into me the courage To move ever forward That my faith is made perfect in works Fulfilling Thy Divine purpose. That Thy unlimited Power Fills me. I thank Thee, That Thy loving tenderness gives me a deep insight Into the lives of those around me. That compassion makes me see beyond their struggles That loving kindness helps me lift them Above their weakness and confusion And makes them strong. I thank Thee, That Thy goodness surrounds me That within me thou hast created the desire for Good. That Thou are revealed in my Infinite Self and In every person, every place and in everything I find Thee. I thank Thee.

October 8, 2007 & Mental Nutrition

One of my favorite things to do is to read treatments written by such metaphysical masters as Dr. Joseph Murphy, Dr. Ernest Holmes, Dr. Robert Bitzer, Dr. Eric Butterworth, and Dr. O. C. Smith. The treatments they wrote give evidence of the powerful consciousness behind the words that they used. Each of them mastered metaphysics and left us great works to learn from. It is like "mental nutrition" and the benefits are incredible. Today, I would like to share a treatment that I read today written by Dr. Joseph Murphy:

I give supreme recognition to the God-Presence within me. I sincerely and honestly give thanks for all the blessings received. I give thanks for all the good in my life; I live in the feeling of grateful rejoicing. My thankful heart strikes the magic of the Divine response. Every day of my life I express thanks for the knowledge of the laws of mind and the way of the Spirit. I know that thankfulness is a movement of the heart first, which is followed by a movement of the lips. My uplifted heart opens up the treasure-house of Infinity within me and bespeaks my faith in the fulfillment of my prayers. I am truly thankful because I have found God in the midst of me. "I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears." He who possesses a thankful heart is always in tune with the Infinite and cannot suppress the joy that arises from contemplating God and His Holy Presence. In everything, I give thanks.

Keep the faith!
Rev. Bates
