October 09, 2016 Sacred Activism - Part 1
"Each time a person stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of
others or strikes out against injustice, he or she sends out a tiny ripple of
hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and
daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls
of oppression and resistance." -- Robert Kennedy
We start to learn how to create those ripples by studying Andrew Harvey's book
_[The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism.](http://andrewharvey.net/)_
As with affirmative prayer, we must practice turning away from present
conditions and learn to embody a calm, expectant manner. We must not fall into
a stance of anger or we inadvertently create more of the situation we are
trying to change. We can create hope and then change the world because the
Divine is in us.
"It is our very fear of the future that distorts the now that could lead to a
different future if we dared to be whole in the present." -- Marion Woodman

October 02, 2016 Affirmative Prayer
Sometimes we have to look at a thing long enough to realize that it no longer
has power over us.
What we are praying for is already happening. Whatever we desire and hope for
is already within us. To be accepting of it is to allow it to move through us.
It is the nature of the Creative Power to take form, and it is the nature of
man to use it. It is the use of our minds in a calm, expectant manner, with a
deep inner conviction of its reality, without any fear or any sense that the
human mind must make it effective. The work is effective because the Law is
always operating.
Our approach to affirmative prayer is not so much a technique as a way of
being. It should bring about actual health, happiness, and abundance, which is
our normal and divine inheritance.
The trick is to turn entirely away from the condition, for as long as we look
upon it, we cannot overcome it. By thinking upon a condition we tend to
animate it with the life of our thought, and thereby it is perpetuated and
magnified. We must bring a new awareness to it. This has come into our lives
for a reason. We will plant a crop of happiness, health, and abundance.
Spiritual mind treatment is the science of inducing within Mind concepts,
acceptances, and realizations of peace, poise, power, plenty, health,
happiness, and success.

September 25, 2016 Become as Little Children
How we long for that simple trust in life which children have. In their minds
there are no doubts. They have not yet been told they are sinners, that they
are destitute of divine guidance and spiritual life. The life of the child is
lived in natural goodness, and God's nature is Natural Goodness.
Always be inquisitive about life. Learn early that there is truly nothing to
fear. Know that you are the individualized expression of the One God.
Life is infinite energy coupled with limitless creative imagination. It is the
invisible essence and substance of every visible form. Its nature is goodness,
truth, wisdom, and beauty. Our highest satisfaction comes from a sense of
conscious union with this Invisible Life. All human endeavour is an attempt to
get back to First Principles, to find such an inward wholeness that all sense
of fear, doubt, and uncertainty vanishes.
There is One Mind that is available to each of us at all times. It only
requires our cooperation, our invitation, and our awareness.
We must return the way we came, as little children who know that life is good
and to be trusted.
-- Ernest Holmes

September 18, 2016 Dance with the Divine
This experience of life is a gift to learn, to grow, and to evolve. In this
realm of cause and effect, we are gifted with the opportunity to bring the
unseen from the fourth dimension into form, to dance with the Divine, to
partner with God. This gives us the choice to come to the Divine dressed for
dancing in faith.
In life, we have one big fear---that God will not answer our prayers.
In grasping the vision, there are certain energies that we are directing.
Letting go and clearing the past is important for moving forward. At the
intellectual level, the heart is not opened yet.
When we begin to open to the presence of God, we are connecting to something
bigger than our finite humanness. There will never be an end to truth, love,
or beauty. So we begin to look for possibility. We lean into our feelings, and
partner with the Divine. All feeling---really felt---leads to the experience
of God.
We can experience the leap into the Deep, the Universal Oneness of God, of all
of life. We begin to contemplate the consciousness of those that are not
afraid that their prayers will be answered.
All is ours, and we are welcome.

September 11, 2016 Our Amazing Minds
There are three major influences on our brains: adversity, meditation, and the
mind.
In our brains, all information gathers in the hippocampus. New skills and
learning generate here. Old ideas come into competition with the new ideas
being formed.
In the magic of meditation, the brain starts to be able to focus more.
Further, the mind is the brain's master. We direct the brain with our own
minds. The conscious mind can direct and plant seeds in the subconscious mind.
The journey is heading in one direction---and that's home.
The mind is everything. What we think we become. -- The Buddha
