Summary

Stories of magic catch us deeply because we are magical beings. They invited us into “I can do that.” Symbolically, the magic wand is to focus your attention on your intention. And you have to have the words of your incantation. Not all words are equal. Prayer isn’t to convince a power outside of yourself to change something for you. We at Unity focus our attention on the power we have within.

Charles Fillmore said, “The Spiritual substance from which comes all wealth is never depleted. It is right with you all the time and responds to your faith in it and your demands upon it… Pour your faith upon it and you will be prospered though all the banks in the world close their doors.” It’s got to be a combined energy. Focus your attention and use words of prayer to bring forth greater manifestation to serve your life better.

Speaking thought into words gives it vibration, brings it into the material realm. The most powerful words are those which are aligned to that which is true. How do we pick up and align to those words? Our God is divine pure love with nothing but desire to bring the best to each of us. Our God isn’t limited. You are loved and you can’t do anything about that. When we pick up that love we pick up power.

Priests and ministers don’t know your words. How do you find them? Emily Cady told us how to move intention into manifestation. In her silence she heard the words, “Stretch forth your hand…and I will establish it.” She heard that our hands are God’s hands. We are co-creators. It’s our power. Own your power – it’s your spiritual nature. The words are in your heart. That infinite intelligence which is there for you knows them for you.

When desiring to speak the word, “Wait thou in silence only.” Then the right word will be given and power with it. When something needs to change the real answer comes from the silence within you. Call forth that which is to be called forth. Give what is to be given.

“Divine love goes before me making easy, joyous, and successful my way.” We can have life easy, joyous, and successful because God would have it no other way!

Summary

Emilie Cady wrote, “It is time for us to awake to right thoughts, and know that we are not servants, but children, and if children then heirs … Heirs of all wisdom … to all love … of all strength, all life, all power, all good.”

The heir is the spiritual self, the spiritual being that you are. It is not this marvelous ego that has been developed for us to dance through the world. The ego guides this temporary persona that we have jumped into. It doesn’t know how to be the heir. When you journeyed into life, it wasn’t that you weren’t to meet the experiences that were there, those of abundance and lack, of fear and joy, of peace and harmony and of conflict, because those are ideas within this realm that we journey.

The ego is to be cared for by the spiritual self, which guides it into being an instrument to touch the world and know its goodness.

When Jesus said “the kingdom is at hand”, he meant that we can touch life and experience the presence of God. We can experience the goodness of the realm, its beauty, its wholeness, its abundance. We can know the Presence in every experience, and that is the kingdom of heaven, and it is here and now. Just as people from the court go ahead of their prince announcing his coming and making easy his way, know and affirm:

“Divine Love goes before me, making easy, joyous, and successful my way.”

Summary

“There is only one presence and one power in the universe and in my life, the all loving goodness of God.” Sometimes it doesn’t look that way. It looks like our way is strewn with thorns to keep us from our good. The fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty is really the story of how we mature spiritually, how the soul unfolds to know that it is true that there really is only one power.

Often the pain and loss we experience in life shuts down our feeling nature, we fall asleep. We engage in a transient perception that our experience has polarity, that there are other powers over us.

We see fire-breathing dragons flying overhead. As the Prince, we overcome false perceptions with the Shield of Virtue (we remain true to our self) and the Sword of Truth (God is good all the time). At this higher level, then, the Prince (that part which knows the truth) kisses Sleeping Beauty (that part of our self which feels the truth).

In this “mystical union” we are awakened to know and feel at every level who we are– spiritual beings in a spiritual world governed by spiritual laws. We understand with great compassion the pain and loss in our polarized experience, yet we also understand that we are much more than we can ever perceive.

We are power and love– that bring forth life itself– a purpose so sacred on our heart that the universe is aligned to bring it forth.

We stay in the awareness of the presence of the Divine. This is the kingdom of God. This is the “happily ever after”.

Summary

“…The divine essence within me, is my guide to spiritual living… Whether in an established time of prayer or a moment’s sigh of release, I am lifted into the light of divine potential where I receive guidance and inspiration. I consciously connect with the Christ and prepare to meet my good, to succeed and to prosper in my endeavors… ‘God chose to make known how great… are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.’–Colossians 1:27″ Daily Word- October 15, 2009

Thank you Rev. David for the “how to”:

Begin with being grateful for the people, animal friends, or events in your life which take you right to that place within that feels closest to God. Then acknowledge the power and love that flows through your heart. Now feel your conscious union of mind and heart with God.

You empower your knowledge with your feeling. You “enliven” it. Now you can live it.  God bless.

Summary

As we ponder the now moment, we might think of ourselves slicing time into ever thinner slices like a biologist slicing a specimen for a microscope slide. A video freeze frame is another good analogy in which a moment is frozen. That is the now. An instant in which motion and progression are not apparent– there is only the stop-action of the moment. Imagine how our solar system would look “in the now”– like a photo or drawing showing all the planets suspended in their orbits. As we ponder, we get the feeling the planets are bursting to move, they have to. The measure of potential energy ready to act is beyond our reckoning. If the planets don’t move, we feel they will explode, the potential energy is so great.

Isn’t this the potential Charles Fillmore directed us to appropriate with our intention? Remembering who we are with our minds and feeling or experiencing that knowledge with our hearts, we can, in the now moment, direct our potential to make it real. It can become reality. In the now moment when things appear to be suspended, we can nudge things into the right direction. We can “intend” them to be what fulfills our heart’s desire.  We can manifest the life we came here to live. Just as Cinderella slipped her foot into the glass slipper and claimed her right place in the kingdom, we too can slip into the now moment whenever possible in our busy day, if only for a second. In the now moment, we can direct our potential by envisioning our lives lived to their fullest, our potential becoming manifest. We can claim our rightful place in the Kingdom, and “live happily ever after”.

Summary

Like the flower in the field reaching up to the sun, we strive to transform ourselves into what we came here to be. While positive thinking readies us, to rise to the next level we need to enfold ourselves in the love of God.

“My heart receives the comforting balm of God’s love. . .The love of God is a soothing balm, and it is also a great restorative power. . God’s love can never be diminished; good continuously pours into our lives in new and wonderful ways.” Daily Word - June 21, 1988

This is how we empower ourselves, and open ourselves to receive that good that is poured upon us without measure. As the vibrant colors of the flowers radiate their glory, let us radiate God’s love from our hearts. Let us transform ourselves into the beings we came here to be.
