“If God be for us, who can be against us?” IF God is all there is and the universe is One, then there is no power, presence or law against the Truth! One with the Truth is a totality. If our whole endeavor is to be, and to do, that which is constructive, then we are with Got and we may be sure He is ever with us. God knows no outside. He is ever inside. The outer rim of Reality is exactly at the center of Itself.

NOTHING can keep us from the love of God. What a comfort! What a joy to know that all is well with the soul! What untold sufferings we have had because of our doubts and fears! And we are told not be afraid, for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom. Man alone has tried to rob us of our birthright-the glorious liberty of the Sons of the Most High.

Let us honor God more and man less. Let us seek within for the cause; it can be found in no other place. There is nothing that can keep us from this inner vision of the Eternal Reality.

I have come to realize that each individual has the power to attract to themselves what they desire in life. Before one can start understanding this concept, one has to look at their belief system. What does belief mean in this context? It is not a form of a religion or cult or any such thing. It is a principle of your beliefs. In other words, when you push an object to move, you have the belief that you can move the object, and you expect that once you apply that force, the object will move. This is easy con comprehend because you can test your beliefs by using tangible object!

Now let us look at the following concept. Today we use substantial amounts of technologies without appreciating where the foundations of these devices came from. For instance, let take a look at the most fundamental aspect of our daily life today: ELECTRICITY.

We all know about electricity and electrical power. However, let’s stop for a second and think about this simple fact. First, can anyone see electricity? Can anyone touch electricity? Chances are that you cannot see electricity nor you can touch electricity, if you can then you are a rare breed and I would appreciate it if you send me an e-mail so we can get together to discuss the matter. But back to the main point, electricity is not visible and is not tangible, but yet it does EXIST! Keep this in mind because it is very important to take away the following argument.

Just because you cannot see or touch or feel something, it does not imply that it does not exist!

Now, we as human have a need to belief. That belief could be anything, the important point here is that if you don’t have any belief, chances are that your life is very empty. So, whether you like it or not you have to belief in something.

Before I continue on this, I want to get some of your feedback.

“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate.” God foreknows His own perfection and the perfection of His entire creation, so it is foreknown and predetermined by the Divine Mind that all shall be sons of God. Man cannot forever keep himself from his birthright; all will eventually be saved from themselves-as there can be no such thing as eternal damnation. To believe in such an absurd doctrine is worse than ignorance. Emerson tells us that there is no sin but ignorance. God knows only perfection; when we know as God knows, our troubles will be rolled up like a scroll and numbered with past illusions.

The creature shall be delivered from bondage. As the inner light dawns, it delivers the outer life from bondage. This is in line with the teaching that everything is from within out. When the soul knows freedom, the law will free the body, and the outer life will express health, happiness and success.

All things work for our good. Even that which we call evil is salutary, leading us to the Way, the Truth and the Life. Suffering should teach us a lesson which would cause us to refrain from making more mistakes; it carries a blessing with it when we learn how to garner knowledge from experience.

God is Spirit. Spirit is Substance and Substance is supply. This is the keynote to a realization of the more abundant life, to the demonstration of success in financial matters. It is right that we should be successful, for otherwise the Spirit is not expressed. The Divine cannot lack for anything, and we should not lack for anything that makes life worthwhile here on earth.

Everything that we do should be a success and we should be led to do those things which are constructive and worthwhile. To bring a realization of the Presence of the Spirit into all our acts is to prove that God is al-even in the slightest things which we undertake. Nothing is great and nothing is small to the Divine, so we should never wonder if what we are going to do will be hard or easy. God knows no hard and no easy.

A treatment after this manner should prove the law of abundance in the life of those who use such statements, and believe in them:

“I am surrounded by pure Spirit, by God, the Living Spirit. My thought is God thought, and it is the law unto that things where unto it is spoken. Everything that I do shall be a success. I am led, guided and inspired by the Living Spirit of Love and of right action. I am compelled to move in the right direction and to always know what to do, where, and how to do it.”

“I am surrounded by right action. I am filled with the consciousness of right action. Right action is success in all that I undertake to do. I am successful in all my undertakings, and I am compensated for all my efforts. I am surrounded by Substance, which is always taking the form of supply and always manifesting Itself to me in the form of whatever my need may be at the time.”

“I always have an abundance of money and an abundance of whatever it takes to make life happy and opulent. There is a continuous movement toward me of supply, of money, of all that I need to express the fullest life, happiness and action.”

“I have an inner understanding of my place in the Universe. I know that it is unique. The Divine has not incarnated in anyone else in just the same individual way that It has in me. I am unique and forever individualized. Therefore, I do not need to imitate anyone or to long for the good that belongs to another. All good is now mine and is now manifest in my experience. I do not compete with anyone, for I am and remain forever myself. This self is united with all selves, but is always an individual and a unique self.”

“There is that in me which all people recognize as worthwhile and desirable, and everyone whom I meet loves this self of mine and recognizes its worth. I draw all toward me and those whom I can benefit and those who can benefit me are irresistibly drawn toward me. I do not strain, will or coerce. I know. The Truth makes me free from the fear of poverty or bondage, and emancipates me from the thought of limitation. I see that money, like everything else tat is desirable, must be a spiritual idea, and I know that I have this idea right in my mind at this moment, I shall always have this idea of abundance. It is mine and I take it.”

“The Spirit within me does not long for anything. It is free, safe, and satisfied. There is no sense of insecurity or of inferiority. I am not seeking to avoid anything. I am conscious of my ability to meet every situation. There is neither depression nor discouragement in my mental outlook on life. I do not look to anything outside myself to give me pleasure, comfort or certainty. I do not long for anything and I am not afraid of anything. My whole inner being is conscious of its unity with God, of its oneness with Spirit. There is no pleasure in intemperance, nor can it offer any suggestion of happiness to me. I now see this habit for exactly what it is, an illusion, which seeks to force me to believe that there is some power outside myself which can give me either pleasure or pain. I do not anticipate such pleasure, nor is there any suggestive power in this habit which can cause me to believe that it has ever, under any circumstances whatsoever, given me pleasure. I am forever free from this thought, and from its effects. I do not will myself free from this habit, rather I perceive this habit is neither person, place nor thing. Having no law to operate, it cannot function. Having no intelligence of its own, it cannot suggest. Having no mind, it cannot will. I am nor forever free from the mistaken belief that it was ever a thing of itself. I see it as forever separated from my real self, forever divorced from my imagination, thought and conviction. I am free now.”

There is no bondage in the Spirit and we should endeavor to realize that the Spirit frees us from every type of bondage. As perfect love casts out all fear and frees us from the bondage of stubbornness and unbelief we should be freed from the outward picturing and manifestation of the pain and congestion which appears as rheumatism. Why should the system secrete impurities or why should there be any acidity if we are governed by Divine Intelligence as to what we should eat and by Divine Law as to how we should eliminate what does not belong to the system? It is well to remind ourselves that the system is spiritual and divinely ordained. God does not make mistakes and our muscles and joints do not need to store up waste matter which causes pain and physical distress.

TO be washed clean of the Spirit should have a real meaning to us and the practitioner should believe that there is such a baptism of Spirit as this. If anyone should criticize him for such a belief he would be a poor worker in this field who ever knew that such condemnation had taken place. Of course we must expect to contradict human experience if we wish to transcend it, how else could Jesus have told the blind man to look up-He said up and not down. The worker in the field of spiritual thought must not be afraid to mentally attack any physical condition with the full assurance that he is dealing with the power that first created and as easily recreates. He does this by knowing that it is done.

Do not hesitate to know that you can heal; you can if you know that you can and not until then. Bondage and freedom are but the two possibilities of our use of the Law. Let us affirm freedom, not bondage.

“My entire system is spiritual and my physical being is now quickened into life and truth. It is cleansed and purified by the power of the word of God within me. This word which I speak is the presence, the power and the Law of God working through me.”

“The energy of the pure and perfect Spirit is now cleansing me from all impurities of the flesh. My elimination is perfect. The joy of the Lord God is within and around me. I live in the sunshine of eternal truth and beauty. I love and understand life. My faith in the healing and the cleansing power of my word is complete. This word penetrates the marrow and bone of my physical being and eliminates all waste substances. My food digests perfectly. I have perfect and complete circulation of love, truth and beauty through my entire system. Love and life permeate every atom of my being. I am washed, cleansed within. I forgive all and am forgiven of all and by all. Nothing remains in my being but love. There is no pain or distress in the joints or in the muscles. My body is the body of God, the Living Spirit Almighty.”

Food must be a spiritual idea. It must be an idea of substance and supply. Since the food which we take into the system is fundamentally one with the body which receives it, there is no reason in Spirit why our food should harm us. We cannot expect to overeat or to eat the wrong things and have them agree with us. But there is an intelligence which will guide us into a proper diet. Since each is an individual, the in taking of food is an individual idea and an individual approach to Reality. Whatever our individual physical system needs to make it harmonious, Intelligence will guide us to. But we cannot expect to have our food agree with us if we are constantly condemning it.

“My food agrees with me and I agree with it. There is no condemnation in me or working through me. I understand that food is a spiritual idea of Substance and I am now in complete agreement with this idea. Everything that I eat is perfectly assimilated and perfectly eliminated. I have no trouble digesting my food, for digestion is also a spiritual idea and works in perfect harmony with all that I take into my system. My system is spiritual and harmonious with every idea that passes through it. My food is spiritual and harmonious with my system. Substance and supply for the physical body are both spiritual and cannot create any inner disturbance whatsoever.”

Free Spirit within me, unbound and Perfect, teach me Thy ways
and make known to me Thy Limitless Completion.
O Spirit of Life, control my every action and thought.
Compel me to follow Thy light that I too may be free and complete.
I will follow Thy footsteps and learn of Thee all the wondrous secrets of Life.
I will follow Thy Light into the Perfect Day.

Free Spirit within me.

Spirit within me, command my Soul to do Thy bidding;
Compel me to follow the course of Truth and Wisdom.
Control my inward thoughts and my outward ways,
And make me to understand Thy Laws.
Command my Soul to turn to Thee for guidance and light;
To turn to Thee for wisdom and knowledge.
Let the paths of my Life be made straight and sure;
Let the Journey of my Soul find its completion in Thee.

Command my Soul to do Thy bidding.
