LOVE

 I am a loving presence to everyone I meet.

Charles Fillmore said, “GOD is LOVE, … the great heart of the universe and of humankind, from which is drawn forth all feeling, sympathy, emotion, and all that goes to make up the joys of existence.” (adapted, Jesus Christ Heals, p. 27)

It has been said that the world needs more love. The TRUTH is, GOD is the universal PRINCIPLE containing all PRINCIPLES. One of those PRINCIPLES is LOVE. IT is “omnipresent,” maximal and always available: IT is the unchanging, unlimited resource I use to desire, harmonize,  unify and be loving.

Another PRINCIPLE is BENEVOLENCE which I express as my ability to be well-meaning. Used with LOVE, I find the good in everyone and everything. I look beyond conflict and limitation and find the good that is always mine to discover.

I am a loving presence to everyone I meet.

 FAITH

I use my POWER of FAITH; I believe in good.

“[Jesus] looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; ² he also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. ³ He said, ‘Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; ⁴ for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on. (Luke 21:1-4)’” The widow had faith.

My POWER of FAITH is more valuable than money.  I use IT to believe. I am an “apocaloptimist!” I believe and trust I can always manifest good and blessings from any event or experience … no matter the appearance. I act on my belief. My positively directed realized faith brings rich rewards in consciousness.

I use my POWER of FAITH; I believe in good.

Use PRINCIPLE

I consciously use PRINCIPLE.

Unity cofounder, Charles Fillmore, said, “By the term MIND, we mean GOD – the “universal PRINCIPLE which contains all principles (The Revealing Word).”  When faced with a decision, do I only rely on my senses, repetitive thinking and feeling? OR, do I remember to consciously use God… use PRINCIPLE?

PRINCIPLES are my foundation; I use them to express my personality, my body and everything else I create.  Principles are as near as my next thought because, whether conscious of it or not, every thought I create is based on PRINCIPLE.

I release my “seeming” dependence on my senses, repetitive thinking and feeling. I center my mind and heart on the constant presence of PRINCIPLE including LOVE, UNDERSTANDING, WILL WISDOM, and STRENGTH. I find answers to questions. New possibilities for good emerge. I move forward with confidence.

 I consciously use PRINCIPLE.

Blessing Mothers

I bless and honor all mothers; I am grateful for their love.

I bless my mother and all mothers. I am grateful for their nurturing love. My mother’s love lives in my heart just as her wisdom resonates in my mind, whether she has passed on or is still with me in this dimension.

I feel deep appreciation and tender affection for those who bless me with their selfless gift of motherly love. I would not be who I am without them.

I share the blessings of a mother’s care and devotion. I embrace opportunities for sharing affirming thoughts, encouraging words, smiles, and/or simple acts of kindness.

GOD is the PRINCIPLE of LOVE! I honor all mothers when I use LOVE to express all my feelings of love, sympathy, and compassion.

I bless and honor all mothers; I am grateful for their love.

World Peace

I contribute to world peace.

When I learn of conflict in my community or in the world, my response may be frustration, sadness, or anger. If I have those feelings, I remember that in addition to being human, I am DIVINE; I am fundamentally all that God is. I use my DIVINE FACULTIES of WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING, and LOVE with the PRINCIPLE of PEACE to create abiding peace in me.

Centered in the PRINCIPLE of PEACE, I realize that every person is as human and DIVINE as I am. As differences dissolve in a way that transcends human understanding, I experience oneness with all the world’s people. This inner realization shapes my response to every person and every situation. In my awareness of oneness with all people, my thoughts, words, and actions contribute to world peace.

 I contribute to world peace.

Release

I release all that does not contribute to my highest good.

John’s gospel tells of Jesus’ restoring life to his friend Lazarus, who had been dead four days. As Jesus cries, “Lazarus, come out!” his friend emerges from the tomb, burial cloths still covering his face and wrapped around his hands and feet. Jesus says to those who have gathered, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

Even after a spiritual resurrection, I may remain bound, like Lazarus, by my thoughts, ideas, feelings, habits or actions keeping me from the full experience of freedom. Using my DIVINE POWER of ELIMINATION, I release error thoughts, dissolve negative feelings, and free myself from habits and actions that do not serve my highest good. I am no longer bound. I am free!

I release all that does not contribute to my highest good.

Understanding & Wisdom

 I guide myself by using the POWERS of UNDERSTANDING and WISDOM. 

When I feel frustrated by a professional or personal challenge, feel unsafe or concerned about a situation or event, I call on my POWER of UNDERSTANDING to know and my POWER OF WISDOM to evaluate what I know.

I open my heart when I seek to understand. I gather more information and request advice from someone I trust. When I am  in conflict with someone, I first practice understanding by listening with a curious mind and loving heart.

I grow in spiritual understanding when I discern and heed my inner guidance. Spiritual PRINCIPLES begin to illuminate my consciousness. I release all that stands in the way of my UNDERSTANDING and WISDOM stand firm in the love that calls it forth.

 I guide myself by using the POWERS of UNDERSTANDING and WISDOM.

Easter 

I am aware of the DIVINE in myself, family, friends and my spiritual community.

Early in the evening on the day of resurrection, Jesus, unrecognized, joins two of his followers as they journey from Jerusalem toward the nearby village of Emmaus.

Accepting an invitation to stay and share a meal, Jesus takes bread, blesses and breaks it, then gives it to his hosts. In that moment, their eyes are opened, they recognize Jesus, and, alive in their hearts, he vanishes from their sight. Later, the two explain to others how the risen Christ Jesus became a living presence to them in the fellowship of breaking bread.

Easter celebrates the risen Christ Jesus, the human being who realized and actualized Christ, or his DIVINITY. For me, Easter metaphysically represents the restoration of my awareness of my innate DIVINITY.  

I am aware of the DIVINE in myself, family, friends and my spiritual community.

Hosanna!

With joy and praise, I celebrate my growing Christ awareness.

Shouts of “Hosanna!” arise as the people cover the dusty road with palm branches, greeting Jesus with great enthusiasm as he rides a donkey into Jerusalem, according to the Gospel stories.

Spiritually understood, the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem symbolizes the dawning of the awareness of the DIVINE in the heart of humankind. The crowd’s shouts of “Hosanna!” represent prayers that this dawning DIVINE awareness be protected and nurtured.

Metaphysically understood, the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem symbolizes the entry of my DIVINE awareness into my peaceful consciousness. The crowd’s shouts of “Hosanna!” are my thoughts and feelings of praise and joy. What I praise grows in my consciousness. This story informs me about how to increase my DIVINE awareness.

With joy and praise, I celebrate my growing Christ awareness.

Inner Peace

I find the Principle of Peace in the Silence.

The Hebrew scriptures tell the story of the Lord commanding the prophet Elijah to “stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” As he waits, Elijah fails to find God as he endures a wind strong enough to split mountains, an earthquake, and then a fire. Then Elijah discovers God, in a sound of sheer silence.

The Silence is a state of total non-awareness. When I come out of this state, I may experience inner peace – a peace that passes understanding. I manifest this peace from the Principle of Peace.

Sometimes chaos surrounds me as I find inner peace. Other times, the chaos may be inside me. I persist in my efforts as I confront inner storms, fires, and earthquakes. Like Elijah, I remain steadfast in faith until inner peace is mine.

I find the Principle of Peace in the Silence.
