Become a Member of The Audience

A Member of the Audience

There are no short cuts to Heaven and the way to the Higher Consciousness is by tak-ing yourself in hand. If you are in earnest, begin to watch yourself. Get off the stage of your life, and get into the audience. Watch yourself and be impartial in your judgments. Do not make excuses for yourself but do not be too harsh either in your opinions.

It does not matter where you stand today. The fact that “I” is watching “Me” means that you have taken one of the greatest steps forward. When you see yourself doing things that are useless, or perhaps even mean or petty, stop them. When you find that “I” can laugh at “Me”, it means that your life is commencing to change for the better.

Finally, you will find that “Me” is beginning to get in step with “I”, and when that happens you are truly on the road to hav¬ing dominion over your life.

There are no short cuts to Heaven but you can have fun changing your life over if you be-come a member of the audience. 

Life is For Us

Life is for us

Life is the One Perfect Unity from which everything proceeds, including yourself and all your experiences. All action proceeds from It; all knowledge is in It. It is in us. We are in It.

The key to our whole understanding of Life lies in the realization that Life Itself is pure Spirit.

Life has equipped us with creative ability. If we can only get this firmly in mind, that Life is always for us, It is never against us; the only and original Power is good, then we shall gain freedom.

Life has no adversaries. The denial is like straightening out a mathematical problem. We are not fighting the wrong conclusion, we are merely explaining why it is not true. We are rearranging our thought in a way that proves to us that Life never limits us.

It is not the intellect alone with which we deal. There is a deep feeling center within us. No matter what the intellect affirms, unless this deep feeling center accepts its statements, we shall not get very far. Daily consciously explaining to one’s self what he believes about Life will gradually awaken this inner feeling to an acceptance of what the intellect affirms.

Key to Results

Prayer is the one thing that can make a change in your life. It matters not what your religion may be, or whether you adhere to none. If you will go direct to God in simple, affirmative prayer, you can heal your body, bring peace and harmony into your life, enlarge your social contacts, and make prosperity a reality.

Of course, those in the Truth teaching already know this, but sometimes discouragement sets in because the demonstration does not come immediately.

Now, if there is one rule we should make in regard to prayer, it is that we must be persistent. Of course, we should always feel that the prayer we are making is the one that will demonstrate, but we should also always be ready to pray again if the demonstration does not.

Persistence in prayer is really only an expression of our abiding faith in God’s love and goodness, for by our persis-tence we are affirming our belief that God does answer prayer.

Persistence in prayer always brings results.

Is Your Spirit Free?

Today’s post is from one of Anne’s previous lessons:

Is Your Spirit Free?

The whole essence of Divine Science is to help each individual locate the spiritual freedom that comes from inside. There comes a time in our lives that we want to truly know that the Spirit of God is truly within.

This is the point when we determine that we will make the changes to find peace of mind, joy, prosperity and all of the aspects that help us to understand that the Spirit of the Christ is within us.

When we begin to claim our spiritual freedom we have a very good result. We quickly begin to see the ideas that help us in having better relationships, in having more fun, in being able to give and receive in new ways. We quickly find ourselves with a sense of peace like we have never had before.

With this in mind how could we not want to declare for our-selves the same thing this country has stood for. We, in America, have come a long way since Columbus landed in giving each individual a way of life that is envied by people all over the world.

The personal freedom that we truly desire can only come through acknowledging first of all our Spiritual Freedom. This comes from accepting the divine spark within every human being that is the light, love, peace and harmony of the world.

Congratulations. I declare for you “You are sons and daugh¬ters of the living God. You are heirs to health, happiness, love, peace of mind, a rich spirit that brings to you the desires of your heart. All is well with you.”
