The Christian Scriptures report that Jesus rose above all limitations – transmuting darkness to light and death to new life. His overcoming death is the ultimate inspiration and example for me and all humankind, a precious example of hope and renewal.
This Easter, I gratefully begin my renewal as I awaken to my innate DIVINITY, the Christ. I turn within and discover the resources for new life and energy. I Iift myself into higher awareness and understanding of the spiritual truth about myself. In so doing, I leave behind and rise above my limiting beliefs, habits, and actions.
With unwavering faith, I arise into higher and higher consciousness as I discover and accept inspiring new possibilities in the fullness of my DIVINITY. I embrace the PRINCIPLES of LOVE, LIFE, and DISCERNMENT while demonstrating grace.
I use my inherent DIVINITY to protect and clear the way.
As I enter Holy Week, I reflect on Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and how the multitudes greeted him shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”
Like so many, I have used this sacred time of lent to cleanse and release any beliefs and habits that no longer serve me. I have opened my heart and mind to LIFE, HEALTH, WHOLENESS, and so much more that my innate DIVINITY affords.
Now I feel ready to welcome a greater awareness of my potential perfection known by some as CHRIST or the I AM by others. IT permeates every aspect of my mind and body. I quiver with eager anticipation, my world seems fresh, and I feel newly alive.
With joy and gratitude, I celebrate and bless the DIVINITY and humanity of everyone.
I use my inherent DIVINITY to protect and clear the way.
In the past, I may have believed prayer was a way of asking God for help and solace. Now I understand it as one of the best ways of helping and uplifting myself.
In The Revealing Word, Unity cofounder Charles Fillmore described prayer as “the most highly accelerated mind action known.” In Keep a True Lent, he also said, “Prayer makes man master in the realm of creative Ideas.”
This awareness is my comfort and assurance as I release my worldly concerns and feel my innate DIVINITY.
As I pray, I begin with the Silence so I can be still and know. Then, creative IDEAS like LIFE, LOVE, WISDOM, STRENGTH, ORDER, and others come to mind; THEY permeate my consciousness. As I claim and reflect on THEM, options and solutions for my troubles and worries arise in my awareness.
I relax and let go, withdrawing my attention from my surroundings. Breathing deeply and rhythmically, my mind relaxes and my heart opens. I enter my sacred inner sanctuary. Here I have no awareness of time. I hear no words, I think no thoughts, and I feel nothing. There is only the richness of the SILENCE of which I am totally unaware. During this time, I am the presence of infinite LIFE, LOVE, WISDOM, and so much more, until I come out of it.
The time and attention I devote to my regular practice of meditation builds deep, abiding peace and clarity in my consciousness. It is after these timeless moments that I discover I have all I need – enough STRENGTH, UNDERSTANDING, LOVE, and so much more. This realization helps me progress along my path and accomplish all that is mine to do.
