If one has a clear belief in spiritual power, no matter what
the appearance to the contrary may be, he can calmly state this belief as a
present reality.
― Ernest Holmes How to Use the Science of Mind
I like to know that the words I
use say what I mean; so when I made a spelling error while typing a word I
discovered that there are two words spelled similarly that sound nearly alike
and one, imminent, means impending or about to happen while the other, immanent,
means inherent or remaining within. I wanted to say, “immediately available and
continuously evolving. “ Either gives me half my intent.
In the study of visioning and
spiritual prosperity, time is only the experience we have of watching an ideal,
which we know as real in our thoughts, materialize in our circumstances.
Prosperity as reality always exists within us and is always evolving from
within us into greater expression through our thoughts and actions. If we
decide exactly what prosperity must look like, while believing that it is not
available to us then we keep our prosperity within and never allow it to
mature.
Our often considered unexamined active
thought patterns and beliefs often conflict with our hopes, desires, and other
beliefs and they continue to do so until we discover and neutralize them with
new thoughts. Prosperity is always available to us when we see it but we need
to believe it before we see that it is ours now. Just as I require clarity
before I use a word, I require the same clarity to recognize an idea, which grows
my experience of prosperity rather that inhibits it.
I gain clarity in my intentions,
my beliefs, and my feelings by asking myself questions about them and then I dissect
the answers based on the feelings they evoke within me. When I know that I know
what I believe and that what I believe works for my benefit, I feel relaxed,
calm, and enthusiastic. All sense of urgency or anxiety dissipates and I
proceed confidently poised and powerful in the attainment of my greater
experience.
I work this same examination
process for matters of physical and mental health, in choosing my manner of
work, play, or worship, with every conflict that arises in any relationship,
and when I feel broke. As long as I am honest in my answers and persist in a
line of self-questioning even through high discomfort, I get to a mental
emotional place that empowers me to act and moves me into action.
I dialogue my questions and
answers on paper whenever I can but if you ever see me talking while driving
without a passenger, be sure I am examining a belief. My point is that
self-dialogue or self-examination is not difficult but requires focus and
persistence. After all, we are looking for the hidden beliefs, which we have
hidden for reasons that once served us, and which we still secretly cherish.
I do believe in spiritual power
and that I am spiritually powerful because Spirit, All Power, is my life and
the intelligence with which I meet, create, and recreate my world. I look
closely at cherished beliefs, reject those that now have no purpose for me and
embrace or make new beliefs as I require so I may draw from my immanent
prosperity and make it immediate and so it is.

“First
you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a
definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will
give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is
the solution to every difficulty.” Ernest Holmes
