Holy Days and Light

Treatment by Rev. Faith Woods

In this season of Holy Days, many of which include stories of light, I speak knowing that God, the Presence, is here. I speak that I am fully orbed within the greatness and powerfulness and creativity of this One. As I become clear of my essence, I am clear of your essence. I breathe deeply as the love that I am, and the love that you are merge to create a brighter light.

I recognize the paradox of shorter days with more dark hours, in juxtaposition with the many lights and celebrations of love happening now. As we physically add more light to the darkness during this season, I speak that we also allow our lights of Sprit to be seen clearly.

Let there be more goodwill toward men – neighbors, friends, families. I recognize that these blessed individuals create our homes, cities, countries and world. I remember that if I am not seeing God everywhere, it is not God who hides; rather it is my eyes that are not clearly focused on the Divine Illuminations that spring forth at every point on this planet.

I speak a word for the lives that are transformed through our Centers and Churches.

Giving thanks for the light that God creates through us and as us, I become still and centered as this prayer come to closure. Knowing the words are right now in the flow of the Law, I simply breathe and release with “and so it is.”

Our Many Gifts

Treatment by Caron Ward, RScP

This time of year many of us are thinking of gifts – of gifts to buy, gifts to receive – and may lose focus on the many gifts that are already present. So today I am grateful for the gifts that are eternally ours, that never wear out and can never be discarded.

I am grateful for the Presence of the One loving, caring, compassionate Spirit that I call G-d. I am grateful for the power of this magnificent creative energy that allows an infinite amount of joy, peace, harmony, and well-being to show up in our lives. I am grateful for the gift of G-d as the divine presence within each and every person, action, or situation.

In this time of shortening days, I know that the light of G-d, the Grace light, shines brilliantly in each of us. Just as the individual colored bulbs strung among the neighboring houses all combine to light up the night, each one of us shines our own unique light and the joining together of this light creates a greater brilliance that eliminates more and more of what we see as darkness in the world.

I am grateful for this light of G-d shining forth from each of us. I am grateful for the unlimited possibilities for shining this light even brighter. It is with this unlimited gratitude that I write these words, recognizing the gifts of each of those who are reading this right now…knowing that the One is infinitely present within you as you shine, sparkle, twinkle, laugh, love, leap! Your light cannot help but be put forth into the world…the world deserves your light!

And so I release these words into Law, with gratitude and certainty that they are true.

And so it is!

Happy Holidays!

It’s a Good Time for Prayer

Treatment by Tim Phares, RScP

How did it get to be just two weeks before Christmas Eve? And yet it felt like spring today. Things are often not quite what we think they’ll be in our rational minds. Yet we know that our thought creates our world.

We have had an interesting day involving keeping up with the news, taking care of one of our cats, and various other activities.

So it’s a good time for prayer.

There is only One Life. That Life is God’s life, that Life is perfect, and that Life is my life right now.

Knowing that that Life is in all, as all, through all, around all, It is the essence of everything that we are, that I am. What it is, I am. That aspect of Divine Mind that I focus on and put to work is mine.

And so, I know that Divine Order is showing up and Divine Right Action is occurring, even when I don’t see it. I know that every event is a Divine reaction to an idea and that that reaction is in perfect order right now. All is well and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.

I am thankful for this understanding, revealing, and knowing. I am grateful for all the blessings that show up in my life as the unfolding of Divine Right Action.

And I simply let it unfold, knowing that in God it is done perfectly now and always.

And so it is.

Oh, Great Spirit

Treatment by Ed Preston, RScP

Oh, Great Spirit, Earth, Sun, Sky and Sea
You are inside and all around me.
A Native American chant by Adele Getty

I chant those words most mornings as I stand in the little vortex I have created in the middle of the street intersection in front of my house. So, I don’t need to go to Sedona. <smile>

And I pray.

I look up into my Cathedral of trees and recognize the presence of Oh Great Spirit. I feel your presence in the sunshine, the trees and sky above, the earth below, and in all the neighbors’ houses around me.

You are in side and all around me. I am One with All around me. We Unify.

I cannot see the sea from my vortex, but I know it is there, actually in all the four directions. I realize the Presence, God, Great Spirit, is inside and all around me.

I stand at my center point, my vortex, and feel so grateful for those words. Oh, Great Spirit, Earth, Sun, Sky, and Sea, You are inside and all around me. I chant my gratitude into All around me.

I release and let it be, inside and all around me.

And so it is.

Power of Divine Manifestation

Treatment by Jenn Fay, RScP

This One Life that animates all of Life is Flowing through every aspect of every Life – every season, cycle, thought, & movement, and every feeling on the emotional scale that moves us toward the Wondrous Mystical Spiritual Connection.

Embracing every aspect of our lives, means accepting our Divinity & our Creative Power to manifest in physical reality our deepest desires. Reading the Signs & Signals that point the way toward Divine Love, Rich Peace, Radiant Wholeness, Light-filled Joy, Grand Prosperity, & Sweet Fulfillment, we are filled with Delight!

In the stillness of this moment Life is unfolding for our Good as we move from this pause of awareness to the busyness…

I trust that any challenge moves us forward in ways that cause deep Rich Soul Evolution as we move toward that which Lights us up & renews our spirit. I affirm that anything within us that may be blocking our Good falls away now as we accept our Divine Inheritance &

consciously allow Spirit to express through us. We Bless this world because of our willingness to “be.”

I am grateful to acknowledge the Wonder of what is, even within the discomfort at times of being human. I am thankful to feel the Spiritual Support of all Entities of Love who celebrate our Sacred Evolution.

I release these words into the Universal Law that recognizes who we are & releases the Power of Divine Manifestation.

And so it is!

Seeing the Love of this season & the Light that Shines through us ~

Happy Blessed Holiday to all,

Gratitude and Thanksgiving

Treatment by Rich Kurasiewicz, RScP

Thanksgiving is here and Christmas season is starting—what a marvelous time of year! This is a good time to reflect with gratitude for all the blessings in our lives, and practicing daily spiritual practices for a spiritual renewal. What we express gratitude for, we focus on, and what we focus on increases! It’s a busy time of year and while it’s better to give than receive, it is a good time to renew in Spirit and grace! And so we pray…

God is the One Power and the Presence. God is All-Good and All there is—the One Life. I am that I am. I am of the Power and the Presence and the one Life.

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 realizes with gratitude the manifold blessings that manifested and continue to manifest in their lives. I know that each and everyone accepts the Divine gifts with praise and thanksgiving and that these increase evermore! I know that all are filled with peace, love, joy and abundance in all areas of their lives and that the Truth that sets them free. I know that each and everyone is a an individual light in the world for the good of all and they are a blessing as their individual lives are blessed. All manifest Perfection, Oneness and Wholeness in unity with the One Life, which is perfect whole and complete!

I am so very grateful for the Blessings of Spirit in the lives of each and everyone and the gift that has been made and accepted by all! I am so very grateful for the Presence of Spirit and the blessings that are manifested. I am grateful for each and everyone and the Truth that sets us free.

And I release my Word unto the Law where it is already known to the Mind of God. I declare that my Word shall not return unto me void. I give thanks that this is so and so it is!

Experience of Gratitude

Treatment by Suzanne Delahaie, RScP

Today we went to the Dutch Country Market for a late breakfast, and a bit of shopping. At the restaurant, they had one of the messages which Mary used last week, “What would you have today, if all you had was what you were grateful for yesterday.” It is always useful to remember to be grateful. We are grateful for things, of course, and we are grateful for the power of God that brings us these.

It is in this experience of gratitude that I offer this prayer.

I know with all that I am that there is only one: One Source, One Presence, One Love, and One Mind. This one is all that there is, it is my essence as it is the essence of all that I know. I am always knowing that the gratitude that I experience is deep. It is filled with love for God. I seek the Kingdom of God first, and I know that all will be added. I rest in this knowing. I am so grateful for this knowing, as I release this prayer to the universal law, knowing that it is so. And So It Is.

With deep love and gratitude

Creativity

Treatment by Rev. Faith Woods

On this morning of November eighteenth two thousand and fifteen, I pray.

I pray giving thanks for the ideas that spring forth from creative mind that provide beautifully for life. I give thanks that the creative process is a continuum that is available for every creative expression. I give thanks for the cycles of creativity – the awakening to the idea, the creative process itself, the action of the law that produces it, and the relaxation as one awaits a new direction. I remind myself that all of these are valid parts of the process and I become willing to be active when there is a time for action, and still when there is a time for stillness.

Knowing the creative life power within me now is the same creative source that breathed life into this body, I give thanks to the almighty power of Love itself. For only Love could be so giving and full of joy of life and willing to have its creations create from themselves. I absolutely know this power is wherever I am – while sitting and breathing quietly in meditation, or racing to get ready for an activity. In the calm or the storm, God is.

I speak my word of gratitude. I give thanks. I give thanks for this expansive teaching of Science of Mind that I find remains strong and true in principles, enhancing and enlarging itself as needed to allow continual creation. I give thanks that this philosophy is found and expressed in so many ways, from the sages of past eras, and in the mystics who express these ideas today. I am grateful the teaching is timeless.

I give thanks for the Centers of Spiritual Living ministries and the creative ways that each minister, practitioner, and student uses the teaching for good. I speak a word that the creative process is honored as we each awaken to ideas, move to bring them forward, take a breath and relax to appreciate the work, and remain open for the next movement of Consciousness.

I bless this day in every way and release this prayer to the law to do its part and bring it alive. With all the love and knowing that these words are truth spoken, I release. And so it is.
