Today’s Daily Word is Prosperity: “I prosper as I live a life of purpose.” It reminds me that when my purpose is to serve God, I am supported in all I do. And, when I focus on serving, connection to Spirit and my fellow travelers abounds. It is so clear that God is my Source for everything and I prosper physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and financially. I am grateful to be able to rest in this Truth this day. Thank You, God!

Charles Fillmore, in his essay entitled Overcoming the Poverty Idea writes “Thoughts are not all of the same importance.” There are some that frighten us into submission to their reign. It is suggested that to rid one’s mind of fearing results should we dare to meet these domineering thoughts of error and openly oppose their reign, one needs to get a clear perception of what one’s rights are as a child of God. Hmmm…. “rights .. as a child of God.” That’s ‘interesting.’ And, powerful and uplifting! As a child of God, I “…should not be under the dominion of anything in the heavens above or in the earth below. You are given dominion over all.” Mr. Fillmore continues on about the story of David and Goliath. “The name David means “the beloved of the Lord” and David represents your righteous perception of your privileges as a child of the living God. You are not a slave to anything or anybody. You cannot be alarmed by the threat of this god of mammon. You have the perception of Truth and you sling it at the center of his carnal thinking, which is the forehead.” There is this idea is my … Continue reading →

“Our ego often stands in the way of our well-being. Anyone may be God’s messenger and God may speak to us in the most commonplace event. God will get through to us when we’re open to God’s message. “I will remember that God is with me and all is well.” – In God’s Care, April 11 Of late, it seems that little events orchestrated by ego have arisen in which my Higher Self has been able to quickly drill down to the Truth. Thus, my awakening grows. I am so grateful for the people and situations springing up in my path to show me what is real and what is true; they are indeed all blessings. The simple Truth is God is with me and all is well.

When I keep open my mind and heart to the wisdom of God, I no longer allow minor disturbances to confuse me. I see below surface appearances to what is true. Take, for instance, my getting a bit perturbed the other day when I found out an acquaintance had not bothered consulting me about a project she was working on. Didn’t she know I had some connections?… Didn’t she know that I might have been able to help? I felt neglected and ‘less than’. And, gratefully, Spirit woke me up to see ego at work. After all, I’m only an acquaintance to this woman… and I’m not the only person on the planet that might have some helpful knowledge or a good network of contacts. And, besides, I’m not particularly drawn to having this person in my life. So what’s this feeling of being slighted (as I saw it) about anyway? It’s nothing more than my ego wanting to be bolstered, massaged, given attention to. Ah-ha! In practically an instant, I recognized what was going on and woke up! In my awakened heart, I wished this person well, blessed her success – and thanked her silently for being yet another … Continue reading →

Yesterday’s blog touched upon spirituality as action. Last night I was on the receiving end of it. I’m enrolled in this course called “Spiritual Evolution in Consciousness.” One segment each time involves working in triads with one person as the Sharer, another the Listener, and the third the Observer and holder of the sacred space. After sharing a recent incident that I was seeking to better understand my old familiar reaction to and thus heal it, I was able to connect some dots from it and my childhood. That felt like progress towards my healing and I was grateful for my colleagues for helping me get to that point. That was spirituality as action on their part. When we came to the final larger circle of sharing of the evening a man shared the profound insight he received during his triad work. It revolved around his father never telling him as a child that he loved him. However, J—- , over time, was able to teach his dad how to do so and today they enjoy a closer, healthier relationship. I guess I was open enough by this time in the evening to really take that in. And in so … Continue reading →
