From Dr. Frank Richelieu, "The Art Of Being Yourself": Realize that "I am that I am" and the power of that "I am" is your power also. It takes effort to convert your consciousness and turn in a new direction, but the effort is infinitely worthwhile. Life is a growing, unfolding process. Embrace the Truth and grow in beauty and compassion today and every day.
Say to yourself:
"I am unlimited in my spiritual power. Right now, this moment, I relate to the perfect pattern, the Christ consciousness within me. I increase in love, in wisdom, and in strength. I am now in harmony with all that I do and undertake, for perfect love makes everything clear and beautiful to me."
Keep the faith!

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."
Keep the faith!
