Universal Life Church

Rejoicing in the Refuge
By Scott Phillips

'Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.' Ps 63:7

'What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms'.?

The other evening as I was driving down the road to Church it occurred to me the way the God protects us. I reached the light and began to thank God as I turned the corner, that an accident did not happen. Not that one happened close to me. 'The life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.'

Just yesterday morning, I had Keaton in the car with me to take him to school. I had forgot he was sitting behind me, so I actually got on the highway and realized I had to turn around and take him to school. I was a little pressed for time but I turned around and got him to school. When I got back on the highway and I had drove a few miles and came upon an accident that had recently happened. It appeared that a number of doors or panels had blown off a trailer. I noticed as I passed by that one had hit a bus and caved in the window. There were pieces of these panels all over the road where you could tell they had hit a number of cars. It occurred to me that my lapse earlier might very well have been the mercy of God preserving me for another day.

I am so thankful today for the preserving and protecting ways of the Lord in my life. I can truly recognize the safety I find in his shadow. Is there anyone that knows what the future holds? Without a doubt we need to recognize afresh the wonderful ways that the Lord demonstrates on our behalf.

May his keeping power be with you today. Rejoice in the overshadowing protection and presence of the Lord. There is no god like our God!

?Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.? Ps 71:3

?The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.? Ps 18:2

Rejoicing in the Refuge of my Redeemer!

In Him, By Him, Through Him,

A Course in Miracles

Okay, I've had six lessons now and no one is discussing any of this. Where are you? Is the information so overwhelming that you don't know where to begin a comment?

Let me try to get the ball rolling.

When I teach people to open up to intuition, I often tell them to tend to many of the Intellect-centered Messages below. Now, I need to rethink my advice.

I own all three books, I can't find the second one. I also have two workbooks. When I saw this course, I thought at last I could find someone else who read the work. I know you're out there.

Even if I end up talking to the writer, I guess it will be someone, but I hoped for more of you.

Read the following. I challenge you to post!

I. Intellect-centered messages might:

A. be based on scarcity, fear, or guilt

B. be based on protecting oneself

C. be compelling, with no time to reflect

D. be quick answer, and feel out of context with your flow

E. is the first thing to come to mind

F. feels like a desperate need.



II. Intuitive-centered messages are:

A. loving and reassuring

B. persistent

D. encouraging and positive

E. not usually demanding immediate action

F. rarely radical without smaller steps to initiate change.

Blessed Be!

Universal Life Church

Universal Life ChurchBy Scott Phillips
A Baby Spoon

"Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." Mark 10:15

Noah is my two year old baby boy. He is such a precious baby. He is not quite talking yet and so, we rarely understand what he says, but usually we understand what he wants. We will be driving down the road and he will begin to exclaim. We will then see a truck, or a bird or something that has caught his interest. Things that have no interest to us as adults, this little boy is still excited and interested in those things.

It occurred to me today that I have lost my sense of awe at everyday things. I began to ponder this scripture and prayed, "Lord help restore to me the awe found in the heart of a young child."

We recently went on vacation and all of our flowers and grass in the front yard was looking rather neglected. I took it as my mission today to keep the grass from dying this afternoon . In the midst of moving the sprinkler around I saw something gleaming in the dirt. I reached down and found a baby spoon. I washed the dirt off of it and it was an Onieda baby spoon complete with the gerber baby image at the end. My normal response, was, "Oh, it's just a spoon." But as I considered it, I found this mundane discovery a source of inspiration. Maybe this was the Lords way of telling me, "here is your first chance to cultivate your request."

I have noticed a few people who seem to snicker at people who seem excited about finding God in their environment. However, I have in times past found inspiration in the simplest things, but due to a number of things, I know I have missed many opportunities lately.  The volume of my writing is proof of what I say. However, I feel a fresh spring of inspiration being born, and look forward to what I shall discover in the days to come.

When was the last time, you looked at what is around you and looked for inspiration and things that apply to your walk with God? Could it be that God has been trying to communicate to you, but you have lost your sense of awe and therefore dismiss everything as mundane, when it could be the entrance of a miracle in your life.

What awaits you could rest upon your ability to see the fingerprints of God in those things around you.

They can be found everywhere.

In Him, By Him, Through Him,

Scott Phillips

Universal Life Church

By Rev. Donald Z

Relax!

God Knows What He is Doing
Lessons From Gods Angels

Jesus Said:

Ask for the great things, and the small things shall be yours as well.

Ask for heavenly things, and all the earthly things shall be yours as well.


The Angel Of LOVE

Borne from the Tear that Christ Shed on the Cross



And the Angel Speaks:


Today I bestow the essence of love upon everything. Everyone I meet

shall be lovely to me. My soul meets the soul of the Universe in

everyone. This love is a healing power touching everything into

wholeness.


To love is to see God in all. This sight, this intelligence, this all light of reasoning, wisdom, understanding, is the light of God that flows within you and every creature in the universe, the home of God, the one only. To trust yourself is to trust God. To love yourself is to love God, God is all. Allow your love forever to flow, the choice is yours. There is only one choice, and that choice is Love, Love God, Love Yourself,

Love Your Brothers, Love Your Sisters, Love Your Vision.



Love! Compassion! Mercy! Creativity !Forgiveness! These are of all of the Love of God. Chose to see the light of God, for by his mercy you walk in the light of God. He is always by your side, you are chosen. We have no obligation to one another except to give and receive love. Say I love you no matter what you have done or who you may be, for all is God, and I love God as I love all. Step back and allow the natural flow to enter into your life. Allow me the Angel of Love to share the knowledge that God has given me to share with you, allow me to share this Love now.

Meditation


Relax and concentrate your whole self on the thought and the presence of the Spirit of God. Count from ten to zero. As you count, feel yourself moving closer and closer to God. Fell yourself moving closer and closer to your true _expression. When you reach zero you will be filled only with the spirit of God. All other thoughts will have vanished from your mind as you begin your journey into your God consciousness. Reflect on this one thought. The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God, as if he stood there and they here. That is not so. For God and I are but one.


See a young man walking along a snow-covered path, surrounded by the stillness of a cold winter's night. Only the sound of the snow beneath his feet breaks the stillness of the night. Above the sky stretches endlessly in all directions, so full of stars it seems like an immense umbrella of light sprinkled with small bits of darkness. The entire country, from the distant peaks and valleys to the green trees along his path are bathed in an unearthly light.


He comes upon an clearing, and the source of the light is suddenly revealed: Amazed he looks at the full moon which seems to have drawn him closer and closer, as if it has singled him out above all. A beautiful woman, a princess with snow-white doves as feet appears. His eyes are riveted upon her beauty. Her lovely glow lights his face.


He feels motion in his motionless legs, he feels himself moving towards her, wanting, willing her to meet him. His every sense is keyed to peak awareness, yet he oblivious of the icy coldness of the wind and the stinging of the snow as winter tears at his soul.


He feels the pale moon woman's floating motion toward him as much as his purposeful advance toward her. They are drawn to each other as if magnetized. Now they are close. He opens his arms and embraces the shadowy form, which takes on substance from his touch. Their shapes blend together.



The merging of their outlines extends to their minds and pervades their blood. He experiences their unity with every fiber; every muscle and cord in his body responds, grows strong in ways they had not been strong before. The wind has joined their union and supports them, carrying them along on violent gusts.


There is a soaring in his mind and heart, almost unbearable in intensity. At last, when the ultimate crescendo has been reached, it begins to abate. The shadow form slips from out of his hold and is swept away by the winter wind. He is left alone with the purity of the night and snow, never to be lonely again, filled with the afterglow of new hights of awareness, aliveness, and unconditional love.



You are now feeling the true nature of love.



And God Speaks;



Love is the central flame of the universe, yes, the very fire itself. It is written that I am Love, and that you are my expressed likeness, the of the One Eternal Being. Love is self-givingness through creation, the impartatation of the Divine through you my children.



I have spoken and so it is:


The Angel Of TRUTH



And the Angel Speaks:



I rely on God alone, in whom I live, move and have my being. A sense of

happiness, peace and certainty flows through me. I know truth in myself

because I know truth in God. I am sure of myself because I am sure of

God.



Never accuse the world or yourself of foolishness or ignorance,

Not even God judges. He knows all things and does all things well through you.

All evil is blamed on sin, but sin is only a mistaken idea of life, a mistaken idea of who you are, and the world in which you chose to live. This is all the sin you or anyone has ever committed. Your mistake is of mind, and you have chosen to live that mistake.

Knowing this truth erases all mistakes.

You are now free from your suffering and troubles. Speaking truth, thinking truth will bring to the world all that it is seeking.

GOD WORKS ONLY IN TRUTH!

You have no idea how soon you will forget about the misguided idea of evil

When you speak and live the truth. Realize the world is not of evil.

Speak boldly and let spirit handle your affairs. Know that spirit occupies the space that form claims to occupy.

SPIRIT IS PURE INTEELIGINCE AND THAT IS TRUTH.

Did Jesus not say that man shall not live by bread alone! But by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God!



The mind of man is the mind of God

The life of man is the life of God

The soul of man is the soul of God

The spirit of man is the spirit of God



In truth move on.

Relax and concentrate your whole self on the thought and the presence of the Spirit of God. Count from ten to zero. As you count, feel yourself moving closer and closer to God. Fell yourself moving closer and closer to your true _expression. When you reach zero you will be filled only with the spirit of God. All other thoughts will have vanished from your mind as you begin your journey into your God consciousness. Reflect on this one thought. The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God, as if he stood there and they here. That is not so. For God and I are but one.


Daily Prayer (meditation)


I am a center in the Divine Mind, a point of God conscious life, truth and action.

My affairs are divinely guided and guarded into right action, into correct results.

Everything I do, say or think, is stimulated by the Truth.

There is a power in the word I speak, because it is of the Truth and it is the Truth.

There is a perfect and continuous right action in my life and affairs.
All believe in wrong action is dispelled and made negative.

Right action alone has power and right action is Power, and Power is God…The Living Sprit Almighty.

This sprit animates everything that I do, say and think.

Ideas come to me daily and these ideas are divine ideas.

They direct me and sustain me without effort.

I am continuously directed.

I am compelled to do the right thing at the right time.

To say the right word at the right time.

To follow the right course at all times.

All suggestion of age, poverty, limitations or unhappiness is uprooted from my mind.

And can not gain entrance to my thought.

I am happy, well and filled with perfect life.

I live in the Sprit of Truth and I am conscious that the Sprit of Truth lives in me.

My word is the law unto it̢۪s own manifestation, and will bring to me or cause me to be brought to it̢۪s fulfillment.

There is no unbelief, no doubt no uncertainty.

I know and I know that I know.

Let every thought of doubt vanish from my mind.

That I may know the Truth and the Truth may set me free.

And God Speaks;



These things my son hath done you shall have done too.



I have spoken and so it is:



The Angel Of KNOWING



I know exactly what to do in every situation. Every idea necessary to

successful living is brought to my attention. The doorway to ever-increasing

opportunities for self-_expression is open before me. I am continuously meeting

new and larger experiences. Every day brings some greater good. Every day

brings more blessing and greater self-_expression. I am prospered in everything I

do. There is no deferment or delay, no obstruction or obstacle to impede the

progress of right action.



And the Angel Speaks:



All was, and is, and ever will be, is the work of the Divine Mind. " God saw everything He had made, and behold it was good.



Our words along with our true nature of Knowing are the only principal at work. The water of a mighty river maybe dammed up, but if a channel were made the water would flow freely over the land making them fruitful and unconfined. This we Know! So why do we become muddled in faith, when we Know!



Jesus said; By thy word thou art justified and by thy word thou art condemned. If a man keep my sayings he shall never see death. Faith? No! Knowing!



Knowing itself as Knowing will feed itself and increase. Knowing will work miracles by reason of itself. Miracles are the power of Knowing.



Know That;

God lives in me as his strength and glory

God lives in me as my strength divine

By His light and love I read life's story

And the key to His world is mine



Old ideas are old beliefs.

You are not obliged to live in the past.

You are the creator of today.



Know this if nothing else,

Know that all is God!


Relax and concentrate your whole self on the thought and the presence of the Spirit of God. Count from ten to zero. As you count, feel yourself moving closer and closer to God. Fell yourself moving closer and closer to your true _expression. When you reach zero you will be filled only with the spirit of God. All other thoughts will have vanished from your mind as you begin your journey into your God consciousness. Reflect on this one thought. The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God, as if he stood there and they here. That is not so. For God and I are but one.

See yourself in a large open-air swimming pool in beautiful surroundings, comfortably immersed in water of exactly the right temperature. Be carried away by the soothing motions of the waves, listening to the sounds of the gentle ripples. The bed of waves supports you securely and surrounds you lovingly, extending far in all directions, further and further beyond all horizons, until you realize you are floating on an endless cloud. There is nothing to break the continuity of support and the rhythm of sound.


You feel the need to share this grand experience with someone. Suddenly you find yourself high above the clouds floating on air, part of an Angel ballet. To your delight, you find that your body is completely at ease performing intricate routines in unison with these Angels. Every move is at once spontaneous and familiar.



Your motions synchronize effortlessly. You find yourself soaring to heights you have never imaged. You easily follow the tempo and rhythm of the winds. Soaring gracefully you rise with them. A great feeling of joy and well being fills your soul as you perfectly perform your routines. You want this ballet to last forever, to experience the sense of well being and accomplishment again and again.



Suddenly, there is a slight difficulty, your soaring has become more difficult than before. Your movements are not as fluid, not as graceful. The wind resists your flight, and the sky is not as clear as it was before. You are not quite sure of the direction in which you are to move. The wind is becoming furious, the sky foggy; somehow you must clear them to see where you are going. If only you had someone to guide you!



The moment you become aware of your need, it is filled;

A golden angel appears to show you the way.


Immediately you find yourself in a perfect private world that is only yours. So perfect you are not startled or surprised. Angels are Gods messengers. You find you silently communicate perfectly with the Angel. You become aware of another certainty in this wonderful place. Language and communication need not depend on words. Without words to inform the angel, it knows that you need a guide; without spoken reassurance, you know that you can trust this spirit. You willingly allow the Angel to guide you, wherever he chooses to lead.



He soars ahead of you and you follow, knowing that all is safe. The Angel̢۪s golden light is so bright you unable to see anything clearly beyond his light. Everything here is so beautiful that the thought of missing anything makes you a little inpatient. You say nothing because you so much love the beauty of the angel, but suddenly you know that he knows of your impatience.



He puts on a magnificent display for you; without any break in his graceful soaring ahead of you he answers your thoughts by means of emanating a beautiful kaleidoscope of ever changing designs and colors, each representing an answering word. Only they are lost on you, because you can not understand his language. All you can make out are incomprehensible Patterns.



If only there was a way to learn his language, if only you could discover what is in his head? That's it; you have found the answer; to find the answer you must pursue the Angel to its̢۪ source. Allow your mind to become one with the Angel. His thoughts become your thoughts, his soul becomes your soul. All of his senses and his thoughts become your very own.



See and feel yourself moving forward, gaining on him slowly, drawing along side him, closer and closer, until your outlines blur and merge, until you are a part of him and he is a part of you. Suddenly you know that you understand his language and his thoughts as you understand your own. Spend some time within the angel. Study his feelings, his thoughts, his language as long as you wish.



Repeat after me



I know my destiny in life. God has

ordained a wonderful mission for

me, and I joyously fulfill it. I am an

emissary for Spirit, and I accept

my life in God.

And now you Know!



And God Speaks;

I will provide!



The Angel Of ABUNDANCE



I identify myself with abundance. I surrender all fear and doubt. I let go

of all uncertainty. I know there is no confusion, no lack of confidence.

The presence of God is with me. The Mind of God is my mind. The

freedom of God is my freedom. The power of God is my power. The

abundance of God fills my every good desire right now.





And the Angel Speaks:


Abundance can never be denied of you. As a child of God how can anything ever be denied of you? It can not! But you must we willing to step up and accept you true inheritance without question, knowing full will that the Father is and will always answer you wherever you yourself are in spiritual conscience. The Father would never turn away any of His children. Knowing this we should never question nor need we ever fell alone. Aloneness is your conscience choice of standing apart for our Father. It is your choice, not His, made of your own free will that has been granted onto you. Abundance, true Abundance in Love Peace all that is beautiful, all that is life is yours now just for the acceptance of your true inherence as the child of God. You do not have to force any issue in life. For to do so is to believe in the duality of life, and there can not be duality since all is of and is God.



Relax and concentrate your whole self on the thought and the presence of the Spirit of God. Count from ten to zero. As you count, feel yourself moving closer and closer to God. Fell yourself moving closer and closer to your true _expression. When you reach zero you will be filled only with the spirit of God. All other thoughts will have vanished from your mind as you begin your journey into your God consciousness. Reflect on this one thought. The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God, as if he stood there and they here. That is not so. For God and I are but one.



You are walking into the light, surrounded by a thick mist, feel it clinging all around you feel its softness, white embrace. Now allow the mist to dissipate and allow the warmth from the light to start to take a hold. As the mist dissolves other forms start to emerge and you find yourself walking in a pine forest. Pine needles make a firm springy carpet beneath your feet. You reach out and feel the bark of the trees that tower above you. The scent of pine fills the clean clear air. The light shines warm though the last of the mist and though the green pine branches, and lights your path with cool green shade.


Stand for a moment weave patterns on the forest floor as the

light gleams and sparkles though the trees.



Stillness fills the air, as you wander along the path though the trees, that stillness becomes sound-music. Listen carefully and let the guild you. The path opens out into a clearing, there is the source of the music. An angel sitting in the tall grass playing a violin. The notes flow from his fingers. You stop and hold your breath, you know you are on the brink of a new experience, You see the notes flow from the angels hands, spiraling skyward, silver streaks of sound arise in a shimmering spiral, returning to meet golden streaks, blue, red, green, intertwined, then separating, almost to beautiful for the eye to see. On they soar together. Onward they soar together, spinning skyward, soaring to their climax, creating a flame as the approach a crest in the path.

There they remain for an instant, so beautiful, with so much grace; they now burn blue, before falling into the mighty pine forest.



Deeply moved by this marriage of sight and sound you begin to feel new creative possibilities of abundance coming to life within you, growing, expanding, and crying for _expression.

Now watch this new found abundance grow, knowing that you can now express it smoothly, effortlessly and with confidence.


And God Speaks;



Walk onto me,

your Father as the proud child

Knowing that all my gifts are bestowed

Upon you today by your acceptance



And so it is


The Angel Of ACCEPTANCE



The Spirit within me knows the answer to the problems which confront

me. I know that the answer is here and now. It is within my own mind

because God is right where I am. I now turn from the problem to the

Spirit, accepting the answer. In calm confidence, in perfect trust, in

abiding faith, and with complete peace, I let go of the problem and

receive the answer.



And the Angel Speaks:



All that is, is God! You are of God, I am of God, all is of God. The simple acceptance of this one truth will set you free. All that we have ever wanted or all that we ever need has already been given onto us with love. God wants for us what we want for ourselves. Know that God would never hold anything from you. Understand, that as you know God, so God knows you. This is why it is very important that you know that God is a kind and loving parent. As you know God so you will reflect onto the world.



Relax and concentrate your whole self on the thought and the presence of the Spirit of God. Count from ten to zero. As you count, feel yourself moving closer and closer to God. Fell yourself moving closer and closer to your true _expression. When you reach zero you will be filled only with the spirit of God. All other thoughts will have vanished from your mind as you begin your journey into your God consciousness. Reflect on this one thought. The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God, as if he stood there and they here. That is not so. For God and I are but one.



God who fills your consciousness fills the whole of the Universe. Let yourself be carried by the sprite of God and with this One Sprite roam over the whole of creation. Fill Gods power in the mighty winds, Gods strength in the towering mountains, in the thundering skies, and in the ocean vast blue. This One Universal Spirit with all of its power, love and wisdom fills your consciousness.



God is the warn gentle breeze, the colors of the rainbow, the beauty and the power of the waterfall. The first rose of spring, the wind that fills your sails as you lazily sail into the orange sunset. He is the waves as the drift upon the sandy shores. God is the gentleness and love that fills your soul.



God is the rich fertile soil and the life giving seeds of the earth. God is the green grass blowing in the breeze. God is the mind that creates all that is new. God is all that is life. You are an individual _expression of God! God is the power of creation in your hands, in your mind, and in your soul.



Feel God as God caresses you with The Fathers loving hands, feel his love, his wisdom, his peace, his knowing, know that these are also yours. Know that it is God that binds all hearts, all minds and bodies together in peace and harmony. Feel his love, express his love, his kindness and his wisdom. Accept this gift he has given you. Live in his love and all that you touch shall be as his touch and therefore be aglow in love and wisdom.



Now move forth into this world as his massager of love. Let his sprite grow within you until Gods love is all that you are. Know that you are Gods _expression of power, strength gentleness, life, creativity, love this sprite that is you. Know that you are chosen as one of his expressions, give only love even in the face of hate Let his sprite replace all that has died inside of you. Let God make your vision clear and strip you of the illusion of this world.



See God as he creates, see him creating every moment of your life. In God you are continually being reborn. Go now with God in the spirit of love into the newness of life.



Love all that you see and know that by loving all that you see love will be returned to you ten fold. Love all that you do, all that you are, for all that is you, God is also.



With God there can be no evil on your pathway, there is no matter to its laws, there can be no loss or lack, no deprivation. There is nothing to fear, for there is no power to hurt. There is neither sin, nor sickness, nor death. The past is but a dream. The future is but an illusion. There is only now, right now, this moment! And that has already become the past.



And God Speaks;



Go now and know that I am always with you!



Everything that you do, say or think is governed by MY Divine Intelligence and

inspired by My Divine Wisdom. You are always guided into right action. You are

surrounded with friendship, love and beauty. Enthusiastic joy, vitality and inspiration are in everything you do. You are now conscious of My Divine Guidance.



Close your eyes and repeat after me:



I accept complete happiness, abundant health and increasing prosperity. I am aware of my partnership with God. I know that everything I do shall prosper and shall be for the good of all. The law of God is flowing through me. I am one with the rhythm of all life, God.

Know that you have nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing to be uncertain about.

I am over all, in all, and through all. I am right where you are. I am at peace with the world in which you live. You are now at home with the Divine Spirit in which you are immersed. You and I are one. Go and know that truly My Kingdom is at hand today, where you are, as you are, and as who you are.


The Angel of Spiritual Serenity

The greatest gift God has bestowed upon us, is spiritual serenity, how much the greater, given with love. Know that the God gives to the children only with love for God would never want anything but love for his children. Serenity is your natural state of being. You can see it in a child̢۪s eyes at play. Peace, calmness, serenity must be guarded everyday, indeed every moment with every waking breath. This gift, the most precious of Gods gifts, the simplest gift of all is the most difficult of all to harbor. Know that when peace and calmness are withering from your soul that it is nothing more that your believe in the illusion of this three dimensional world. When you feel your serenity slipping away simply turn within and say God I love you!



Close your eyes for a moment and say God I love you and now simply wait for his answer.

Relax and concentrate your whole self on the thought and the presence of the Spirit of God. Count from ten to zero. As you count, feel yourself moving closer and closer to God. Fell yourself moving closer and closer to your true _expression. When you reach zero you will be filled only with the spirit of God. All other thoughts will have vanished from your mind as you begin your journey into your God consciousness. Reflect on this one thought. The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God, as if he stood there and they here. That is not so. For God and I are but one.

Imagine yourself sitting on a riverbank, observing the configurations of a whirlpool directly in front of you. A small branch drifts towards the eddy, it comes closer and closer, until it is finally caught by the pull of the whirlpool. Your minds eye now has a point of focus and follows the branch as it is caught in the vortex of the swirling water, drawing a circle around its largest circumference, then around its next one and the one after that, being drawn down deeper and deeper and faster and faster inward.

Retaining your sense of comfort and safety, you begin to identify with the branch. Feeling no fear or threat, you follow the branch, you are now the branch, letting go, relaxing as the whirlpool carries you into its center. You feel relief that burden of control is lifted from you, relief at being allowed to be let go, to follow where the water leads, deeper and deeper into the mysterious depth, leading to the new dimension beneath the point of the funnel, into your inner conscience.

Now you have reached this quite and peaceful place, begin to explore it. There are some landmarks here, which in the future will immediately reinforce your knowledge of having arrived at the source of your inner spirit, the one you have chosen to surrender to God. Notice how it feels. It is a place and a state of mind to serene to be called expectancy, for you are waiting for something yet to be identified, and yet you know beyond a doubt that you have entered the Kingdom of Heaven within, just as Jesus had promised. You find yourself waiting, not for any solutions to concrete problems, but for a panorama of creative thought. You are now face to face with the creation of God as you.



While you are waiting, empty you mind of all thoughts. Allow only God to enter the temple of your mind. Empty your mind of all concerns as if you were cleaning a table to spread out on it pieces of a picture puzzle. There must be plenty of room to display all the pieces of your reflective thoughts, each piece must lie within its own island of space, so that your inner -expression of God can examine himself from your inner most minds eye.

See and feel as God releases you from the burden of your ego and takes control of your life. Never again need you worry about any outcome in your life as God now has total dominion through your surrender. All that you say and do is now an _expression of God.

Now repeat after me,



I now let go of everything and turn to that Divine Spirit of God within me, where the spirit of love and the spirit of peace dwells in me with calm serenity. I withdraw into the place in me that has never been hurt, nor has ever been sick, and that has always lived in divine and eternal peace, I choose the Kingdom of God, which is good. This inner Kingdom within is all peace, all power and all perfection. I know that I have entered into the Kingdom of wholeness, perfection, peace, power, beauty, love, supply and life. I know that the abundance of this life is showered upon me, that I am guided into right action, into right decision. I now walk the pathway of Gods perfection into the knowledge, the peace, and the love, knowing that God now makes my every movement and decision for me. I now live in harmony, abundance and peace. I now live in the Kingdom of God.

Now listen as the Spirit of God within you speaks;


I will never leave you nor forsake you. I am with you always, for you are my _expression, the light of my Light. I have fulfilled myself as you, and have given myself to you as you. All that I am, all that you are, we are, for you are my _expression. I am all that you can conceive of me, your supply, your health, your work, your relationships, your protection, all that I am, you are. Know that I will, nor can I ever withhold anything from you, for I am you in true _expression. Take your rightful place upon the throne of my heart, love me as I have always loved you. Know that I now give you divine authority to manifest the fulfillment of your desires, and I will always guild you wisely and rightly. Choose that which you have and accept that have as me, your father, the one who loves you, who wants only good for you.



Oh love what you see. Love everything that you see. See yourself and all in pictures of total fulfillment, see it in your heart, feel it.


Now repeat;

I now totally and completely surrender to the activity of God, the only power at work in my life. I now let go of all that I am or was and do his perfect work. I let go and let God work his miracles through me, as me, as God!



I now move into this world as a co-creator with God, always listening to the inner guild, and doing that which is in front of me to do as one with God.

Now allow yourself a few minutes for this experience to fully what has just happened. You are no longer ordinary, just one of the crowd, you have touched the face of God.



Live it, breath it and

Say unto your heart,

"Peace, be still!"


God's New Meditation


As you close your eyes and relax you concentrate your whole self on the thought and the presence of the Spirit of God you feel yourself moving closer and closer to God. You fell yourself moving closer and closer to your true _expression. Just breath and you will be you will be filled with the spirit of God. All other thoughts will have vanished from your mind as you begin your journey into your God consciousness. Reflect on this one thought. The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God, as if he stood there and they here. That is not so. For God and I are but one.

See yourself surrounded by Jesus, Mohammed, The Buddha, and all the great saints and Gods messengers, because this is truly who you and all of your Brothers/Sister are. We are the messengers sent here from God to share our messages and Gods love. Now I want you to become one with whom they are. Feel and see the white light of Gods power as it flows into you, though you and surrounds you. Feel and know the sense of the omnipotent presence of the Father. Understand and release all that you thought you were. Know that you are so much more. Now form a circle with these great beings and hold hands. Experience the union with the Creator, feeling his light, love, and peace. Release all feelings of tension as you become one with the Holy Father. Know that you are now blessed with the honesty, truth and knowledge of why you are here. Know that you are a minister of His truth as your individual _expression of the Father dictates to your soul. Ask God to bliss all of your Brothers/ Sisters and know that it is so. Know that you now shine with His beauty and love and healing even to those that would persecute you, knowing that any persecution is simply a misunderstanding that they have of themselves. As you forgive them know that they are forgiven, just as you are forgiven. Release all of those that have ever hurt you and see them in Gods loving Light. Know that you yourself are released. Know that though you and your sharing of Gods light, peace and forgiveness that you have done your part in saving this world. Now bath in this understanding and allow it to become whom you are.



Now see yourself carrying this Light, Love and understanding into the world and bless all, even those that would chose to be your enemy, knowing in your heart that no child of God, no Brother/Sister could ever truly be an enemy.



Bless it be, and so it is.


Go in peace, goodwill and love.



Thank You
