This time of year is especially festive, with celebrations of light and love; gifts brought forth to share; and anticipation of the promises of a new year.  For me, this is also a time of great gratitude for the experiences of Life – the joy of sharing time with family and friends, the abundance of good food and fellowship, and the blessings I have received over the last year.  At this time I also remember those who are experiencing challenges in their lives – health concerns, strained relationships, feelings of lack…and so I pray….

There is only One Life, One Mind, One Source that I call G-d.  I know that G-d is a magnificent Divine power, an infinite source of more good than we can even imagine…I know that G-d always provides, with no limitation… there is no limit to the abundance of joy, love, happiness, or freedom that is available at any time to any one…for I know that each of is of the One Source, there is no separation. G-d is, I am.

And so I say I AM joyful! I AM festive! I AM love and experience love fully and deeply! My life is filled with the abundance of happiness, of friendships, of good health, of financial freedom!  I know that G-d is my Source, and I say Yes! to all of this NOW, and in the new year, and ever more!

And just as I know that G-d is MY source, I know that for everyone, everywhere, G-d is THE source. Within each of us there is this One Divine power – all the power and presence that there is, is right here within us, and all the Life that is G-d is within each of us…we co-create from this Essence, from the Source…and so it is that in this moment, the creation of well-being; of peace and harmony in relationships; of an abundant flow of all that we need and more;  all of this and infinitely more is taking place right here and right now in every being’s life…I don’t have the words to adequately express the gratitude I feel for this faith, this knowing that G-d  is the Source and that there is an infinite flow of good.  I am thankful for the depth and strength of my faith and the blessings, big and small, that show up in Life every day.  I say thank you for the Presence, the Essence of Life that exists at the core of our being from which flows unlimited possibilities for everyone everywhere, no limitation, no restriction.

It is from this deep sense of gratitude, that I release my Word into the Law, knowing that this is true…

And so it is…Blessings to all and joy in this season and in all seasons!

Prelude

I discovered SOM 41 years ago.  I finally got to take the Foundations Course 22 years ago.  I became a practitioner 17 years ago.  Two weeks ago I signed up for the “Travel With Our Spiritual Leader” Viking Rhine River Cruise and mailed a check for it 10 hours ago.  I attended my first class, auditing, the SOM Foundations Course 4 hours ago.  Somehow, time makes no sense in my life.

Treatment

I recognize Time as one of the many dimensions of Reality.

I accept with Albert Einstein that time is just what keeps one thing after another from becoming everything at once.

Yet sometimes time even flunks that test in my life.

Then, I wonder how many dimensions God has?  I recognize also that there is no answer to that question.

So, I celebrate the Mystery that I call God, the Mystery that leads me through a life in time without time, simply knowing my own form of timelessness.

I know that ultimately there is nothing ultimate.

I accept that all this applies to only one of the many dimensions of the Reality that I call God, or Mystery, and every dimension of Reality can be described with equal or greater confusion.

So, I see that the one thing that unifies all of the dimensions of reality into a true Reality is to simply release all dimensions from my mind as I move into Mind.

I accept that no dimensions are needed to celebrate and unite with the Mystery, which I call God, and with my God whom I call Mystery.

I come then to realize that I live in Form in very few dimensions.

This means I am not a Mystery to God.

I can be well known to the Infinite, as a finite form of limits and definitions and terms of agreement.

Yet even I do not know much about myself, so I accept that I am part of my own Mystery.

And I know even less about other beings in Form.

We are all mysteries to one another, so we are all Divine.  We are part of the Mystery.

I give thanks for the confusions of Form, which lead me to just releasing the furious need to understand what is going on all the time.

I stop and just let it be, whatever that is.  I know my peace in just the present moment, releasing what is next or what is past.

I am so grateful for that power to release the need to understand Form all the time.  I am NOW.

Gratitude takes me right into release, again, as I release my need to understand Spirit and Law and Form in 5, 10, 100 or a million dimensions.

I find the power of the Present Moment by simply releasing all of the rest of Reality to just feel the Presence in the Present Moment.

That Presence is Mystery to my mind, yet I know that I am no mystery to the One Mind.  It has a full and beautiful capability to understand me, yet no need to “understand” me.

I have no capability to understand the Mystery, yet feel the need to do so constantly, in time.  We balance each other in this Moment.

Right Now, in this Moment, I release that need, as I also release these words into the Mystery knowing they were understood even before I release them.

So, I just let it All be, and so It is.

Winter is upon us—the first snow flurries here today and New York had a major snow storm last week. Yet, this is a special season—no, not Black Friday– Thanksgiving and Christmas and today is Thanksgiving Day! In the midst of everything going on we can be truly grateful for the abundance of good in our lives, this nation, our Center, our family and friends, our freedom, our health, income and homes. When you think about it, there really is a tremendous amount for which to be grateful and it can be as simple as waking up another day or the next breath. We can also be grateful for the Truth that sets us free and that which we focus on through gratitude tends to increase in our lives. Life is amazing and abundant and to be lived. And so we pray….

There is only One Life and that Life is God’s Life. God is the Creator and the Creation; all Life and everything there is. God is the abundance of Good manifest everywhere, and It’s Power is Love—the most powerful force in the Universe. God is Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omni-benevolent! And I am that I am. God’s Life is Perfect, Whole and Complete and that Life is my life right now. I am a divine incarnation and the activity of God as Love in the world. Love is my lodestone and I am blessed.

Just as I am perfect, whole and complete, I know that each and everyone is perfect, whole, complete, eternal and immortal! I declare that each and everyone is a light in the world and a blessing to themselves and to everyone they come into contact with. I know that each and everyone is an activity of God as Love in the world and a divine incarnation. I know that each and everyone takes the time during this special season and indeed every day to express gratitude for all the blessings of Good and Love in their lives for that abundance is the omnipresence of God everywhere. I declare that each and everyone is divinely guided, directed led and protected to their highest good and greatest yet to be as the activity of God as Love in the world and makes a difference by creating a world that is full of peace, love, joy and abundance and works for everyone. And I know that this spirit in this season of Thanksgiving is a blessing to each and everyone and through gratitude for this Good, more blessings abound through the action of the Law and Love through the one Mind. I declare that through gratitude each and everyone’s heart opens more to Love and Good and Truth.

I am so very grateful for the light, blessings, love and good manifesting in the lives of each and everyone as the Truth sets them free. I am so exceedingly grateful that each and everyone is grateful for the abundance in their lives and is open to receive and accept the Good that is already given. I am so grateful for each and everyone who is a divine incarnation and a blessing to themselves and everyone around them. And I release my Word unto the Law, where it is already known in the Mind of God. This is the word of God and It will not return unto me void. I do give thanks that this is so and so it is!

God is Limitless

The kids learn spiritual mind treatment through a song:

God is…
I am…
I know…
I am grateful
I release, and let it go.

God is any label you use, anything you need to know for today. God is so many spiritual qualities. God is limitless.

I am whatever God quality I choose today and I am limitless. Each one of us is limitless.

I know that God acts in, as, and through my being as unlimited potentiality and through each one present in our community and throughout our world. We express all of God’s unlimited qualities with grace and ease. It cannot be any other way.

And I am so grateful for this knowing. I give thanks for the awareness of my Being.

And I release my words, into the Law, where they are already known in the One Mind. I let it go. I let it be.

And so it is.
