Entering the closet means
withdrawing into one's own mind. For it is from one's own mind that the
creativeness which one possesses emanates…We are to make known our requests in
secret to the Father which seeth in secret. – Ernest Holmes Change Your
Thinking Change Your Life
When we desire to solve a
problem, create something new, or make any kind of positive change in our
experience, we first define the problem in terms of its solution. Then, we
enter in to that quiet reflective state of mind in which we contemplate the
Source of all life and creativity as working through us now as It solves all of the steps of the who and how
it solves the problem for us.
We take our challenge into a
quiet private place to recreate it as our opportunity. Silently, without
sharing our goal or our process, we gather our highest possibilities and allow
our Higher Power, the “Father which seeth in secret,” free reign in transforming
our life to one of prosperity. Then, we let the hidden into the light and shine
ourselves as beacons on the pathway of prosperity for others.
While every avenue of financial prosperity
is available in some way for all of us, some channels suit us better than
others. We each have our own best health plans and foods, unique careers and
avocations, and we attract to us the loves of our lives who love us in the way
and to the degree that we love our selves and them. When we merely go through
the day without investing in the quiet time of closet contemplation, we often
miss the finest and best that life has for us because we preoccupy ourselves
with trivial and meaningless upsets.
Life holds treasures for us. They
hide in plain sight. We do not see them because we have not cleared our minds
of clutter. The closet metaphor holds the answer to this problem as well. When
we closet ourselves in our quiet contemplation, many thoughts arise, which some
refer to as monkey mind. When we acknowledge these thoughts as once important
and with just the instant of notice, see their present meaninglessness, we
clear some of the clutter and see more of the wonder of life.
An article on feng shui reminded
me that clearing a little clutter each day, I would finally arrive at the neat
orderly balanced home I desired. What if we closeted ourselves for a little
while each day and deliberately traced our most persistent dysfunctional
thoughts back to their root causes and cleared them out one by one. Some spring
from the same root experiences. As we get back to the roots, we clear up many
conflicts that hide our present prosperity and convince us that it either does
not exist or that we must wait for it until some distant future.
I enter the closet of my mind and commune with
the infinite Mind, which knows my truth of being and reveals it to me in silent
guidance, which appears as my very real health and wealth of life. Every aspect
of my affairs and my relationships harmonize with the highest and best for me
now. I attract all of the people and supply of every good thing I require to
live my life of peace, assurance, gratitude, and love joyfully. 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
