In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. – John 1:1
The Word means, of course, the
ability of Spirit to declare Itself into manifestation, into form. The Word of
God means the Self-Contemplation of the Spirit. The Manifest Universe, as we
see It, as well as the Invisible Universe that must also exist, is the result
of the Self-Contemplation of God. “He spake and it was done.” – Ernest Holmes Science

We have a constant stream of
inner chatter that some refer to as monkey-mind as if it has no importance than
mere distraction. In fact, this so called monkey mind may have a profound
impact on our experience of prosperity besides distracting us from the clarity
and focus of accomplishment. Just how much of this inner monologue becomes a
dialogue with the self?
The inner dialogue or self-talk
of successful prosperous people is not always encouraging but these people are
actively aware of the nature of this chatter and deliberately counter some of
the negative suggestions while noting reminders of what they procrastinated on
so they can keep their intentions and live in a state of ease as they
accomplish their goals.
The words we continually use come
back to us as our experiences. We see our words in the daily events and in the people,
we meet who either aid or hinder us along the way according to the words we heed.
To me even referring to the random stream of conscious monologue as monkey mind
is demeaning. I prefer to know that I care about myself and believe that the
prods and reminders are attempts to keep me safe and secure. Some of that
chatter is valid reminders to take authentic action, which I ought to act upon
and some is belief systems I have that I accepted over my years, which may no
longer serve me. If I remain alert, I get to choose what to listen to and what
to reframe within my new more prosperous belief system.
The most important prosperity
dialogue is the self-conversation in which I deliberately inform myself of my
intentions, my right to achieve them, and of the Universal Presence that is
always here to assist me. When I keep my dialogue consciously focused on the
possibilities and the law of Mind in action for me, eventually, I develop a
habit pattern of supportive beliefs and words.
“He spake and it was done.” Means
every word that we speak or think has the power to accomplish what we decide
the word means to us as experience. Casual is as causal as careful choice
because our underlying beliefs trigger our powerful feelings, which move the
Law according to the instruction of our word.
Think about it for a moment and
you will recall experiences, uncanny predictions that occurred following words
you spoke or heard from others. These predictions are in fact vivid proof of
the creative power of your word to produce what you proclaim.
I deliberately choose to keep my
inner dialogue focused on gratitude and acceptance of all of the gifts I
receive according to my word. I praise every manifestation of the one Mind as a
personal blessing and I honor every inspiration from the casual chattering to
the deepest meditations so I am always alive in blessings 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
