One

Treatment by Reverend Faith Woods

 

From Science of Mind, p. 626: “There is that within me which knows, understands, accepts, believes recognizes and embodies. I know and know that I know…”

One Love. One Life. One Source. One Divine Presence. One Spirit. One.

One Love fills me. One Life animates me. One Source fuels my being. One Divine Presence spills forth from me and One Divine Presence spills forth from you. The very “being” I am is the very “being” you are.

The circle of Life is the “O” in One. This chant becomes my mantra today::
From you I receive
To you I give.
Together we share
From this we live.

With full expectation of receiving, I simply speak my word for a deeper understanding of giving and receiving from all expressions of Source. May I see Love, Beauty, Truth and Goodness at the core of each expression. May I see this in the physical world; may I feel it in my body temple; and may I let Love, Beauty, Truth and Goodness flow from me in return. May I know at every moment there is a never-ending supply of Good as I become ever more generous in my sharing of resources.

I speak this word for all reading this prayer, for Celebration Center and all Centers for Spiritual Living. I speak this word again and expand this prayer to include all expressions seeking to bear witness to the Divine Presence in their lives.

I feel these words – this prayer – moving now from mind to Law and from Law to full expression. Gratefully I let go and proclaim – and so It Is.

Affirmation: Throughout this day, I stay awake to new understandings and deeper engagement with the Divine.

Everything Works in Divine Order if We Just Allow It

 

Treatment by Tim Phares, RScP, MIT

 

It’s May, but it feels like April.  There has been a lovely chill.

Today I have been focusing on trying to get some work done.  Unfortunately, this computer had other ideas.  It stopped for a few hours and I just got it back up.  But it seems to be running smoothly now.

Everything works in Divine order if we will just allow it to.  Sometimes, we have to do so forcefully (such as unplugging, restarting, and cleaning the computer), but it always works.

We simply step into this as we pray.

There is only One Life.   It is perfect, whole, and complete.  It is my life right now.

It is fully expressing in each moment as every one of us.

I know that in Divine life, all is in Divine order.  That order pervades my life.  It fills everything in my life.  It continually moves forward, upward, ever greater, higher, and deeper.    Everything operates the way it is supposed to.  I move forward.  Each of us moves forward.  With ease and grace, we step into our greater expression always.

I am thankful for the ever greater, for the divinely driven evolution forward and upward, for life itself.

And in that gratitude, I simply release my word to teh Law, knowing that it is done.

And SO is IS!

Get in My Car and God

 

Treatment by Edward Preston, RScP

Well, I am in Macomb, MS, on the 4th day of a 10 day trip.  It’s all about family and friends.

So, I just relax as I look at a beautiful blue sky with lots of sunshine.  I feel the Presence, and know that Presence includes grandchildren and in-laws and co-grandparents.  I recognize this as a divine day. With more ahead.  I become one with my car as we drive together around the beautiful countryside.  The steering wheel makes us one.

I realize that family and friends make my life rich, both nearby and distant family and friends.  And on a day like this, I befriend the strangers walking along the streets and roadsides as I drive by.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to just get in my car and go.  I invite you all to join me in this opportunity, wherever you are.  We give Thanks for our ability to travel, down the block or around the country and world.

So, I get in, release the parking break and just go, off into whatever is next.

And so it is,
Amen

The Truth Sets Us Free

 Treatment by Rich Kurasiewicz, RScP
Easter and Spring Break are over and Summer is around the corner. Easter is a time of renewal to take advantage of a special time to go within, reconnect with divinity within, to let the Truth set us free and let this Light shine the rest of the year. Spiritual practices daily renew our connection as we accept the blessings of Spirit in our lives and we are divinely guided, directed and protected to our highest good and greatest yet to be in service as the activity of God as love in the world. And so we pray….
 
There is only one Power and Presence and Life and Mind—it is God, the living Spirit Almighty. God is the Creator and the Creation, all life and everything there is. God is the substance of everything that was, is and will be. God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent; eternal and immortal. And I am that I am. I am one of the Father, the Spirit, the one Mind and the one Life. I am divinely guided, directed, led and protected to my highest good and greatest yet to be as the activity of God as love in the world.
 
And just as I am perfect, whole and complete, each and everyone is perfect, whole, complete, eternal and immortal. I know that each and everyone is divine within and of the one Life, one Power, one Presence and one Mind. I declare that the Truth sets us free and we use a Power greater than ourselves for our good and the world’s. I know that each and everyone is the light of the world and a blessing to themselves and everyone they come into contact with. I declare that the gifts of peace, harmony, beauty, love, joy, abundance, health, harmony and happiness have already been made and we accept them, knowing it is God’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom. I know that we first seek the Kingdom of God and it is already within and available when we raise our consciousness to perceive it.; and we are blessed and a blessing. 
 
I am so very grateful for the Truth that sets us free, for the gifts that have been made, for the Kingdom within and for our desire to renew and raise our consciousness and accept the gifts. I am so very grateful for each and everyone’s service and for the forgiveness and gratitude that we manifest in our lives, in all circumstances and in all experiences.  This is all good and very good! And I release my word unto the Law where it is already known in the mind of God. I know that my word will not return unto me void. I do give thanks that this is so and so it is!

Bloom Where You’re Planted

 

Treatment  by Tim Phares, RScP, MIT

April already.  Spring.  Renewal.  And baseball season, always a good time.

I love this time of year.  It’s getting warmer (good thing), all the flowers and other plants are blooming.  Sometime soon, we will go pick berries.  And we just had Opening Day of the baseball season.  Meanwhile, we just returned last night from class.  Growth, opportunity, and movement are occurring.

There is an old saying — bloom where you’re planted.  This is a time of blooming.  There is no better time to bloom than now.

So as we open to blooming, we pray:

There is only One Life, One Mind, One Power, One Presence.  It expresses as all things.  It inspires all, moves all, and yet surrounds and encompasses all that is.  It is the All.

The Life, Love, Light, Power, Peace, Beauty, and Joy that It is is what each of us is right now and always.  We are the dance of those qualities, dancing their dance of possibility eternally, growing, blooming, and expanding into and as the ever new.  It is good.

And so we focus on growth, on thriving, on expansion, on the new blooms that fill our lives with glorious possibility.  We focus on those possibilities.  We choose.  We know.  We accept.  And we thrive.

I am grateful for new blooms, for openers and openings, for  all those wonderful opportunities and possibilities that fill our lives, for the wisdom to know which are ours.  I am grateful for all of this.

And so I simply accept this good with great gratitude, knowing that it is done right here and now, that that wonderful new bloom, that glorious growth is showing up right now and continually.   And I say yes to it.

And SO it IS!

Ah, Spring

 Treatment by Ed Preston, RScP
 
Prelude
 
Most of my life I have considered Fall to be my favorite season because of the color.  Yet, today, I spent the afternoon in the yard weeding our walk, feeding ducks and birds, listening to woodpeckers, and enjoying 75 degree temperatures and blue sky.  It’s Spring!
 
Treatment
 
So, I really recognize Spirit, God, in all the seasons.  I know all the seasonal changes are divine, as are all the changes going on in my life, even the ones I don’t like for now.  The time for God is Now, not tomorrow or next fall.  
 
I allow the seasons to bring me together with the ducks and birds and other critters as we all just love this season now.  We are One together in the Now, with Spirit.  
 
I realize I love watching Mr. and Mrs. Mallard just ducking down into the creek water, and flapping their wings in the water to splash, and just loving the sun and warm air.  I then know they love me for throwing corn and critter food down into the creek for them.  And I love my walk around the lower yard and along the creek, which always needs weeding in spring.  I just meditate as I pull up weeds and grass by the roots to free the walk of them and refresh it for spring.  And I love sending all the grass and weeds off to composting so they too can be recycled.  Life is all about cycles and recycles. 
 
I am so grateful for the power of these words in my life.  They bring me into love of life Now, not tomorrow or next Fall.  I just say Thank You Spirit for this day and this moment and I share this moment with all those who have experienced this day and now read this treatment.  
 
So, I release these words into the Law, knowing they work in my life and all life, wild life and human life and All Life.  And now I go out to walk my talk and weed some more  of my walk by the creek.  I just keep loving life Now.  
 
And so it is, Amen
