Whenever a negative thought comes
to the mind, remember that no thought can force its way in until it is
permitted, so just say, "I refuse that negative idea and accept its
positive opposite which I know is there with it." We may think that we do
not choose the thoughts that we entertain, but that is because a lifetime of
negative thinking has made the choosing of the negative an automatic thing. – Ernest
Holmes Power for Good
Yes, remember your Creator now
while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl
is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the
pulley is broken at the well. – Ecclesiastes 12:6 NLV
If all we do is for the getting
of money and wealth, then we are living an empty life. But, if each day, we
give a part of our day to the joy of loving life, to spiritual pursuits such as
prayer and meditation; and if we also focus upon the people who support us and
love us, then we lead blessed lives filled with all forms of prosperity
including wealth and money. .
Prosperity has no hurry in it
when we recall that prosperity is our Creator, our Source from which we live.
It is in and of itself not so much an attainment but an awakening. Our sole
purpose, in my opinion, is living life in interested attention on the wholeness
and beneficial nature of the people and events we encounter. Whether we attract
them or they attract us we are all part of a grand play of Life performed for
Its delight and all the more delightful because we do it by our own choice.
Our greatest success comes more
from knowing what we are all about than in doing all of the work we think that
entails. “If you know what, you know how.” says Existential Metapsychiatry founder, Dr.
Thomas Hora. As we recall our real prosperity, we begin to know what and our
actions naturally follow perfectly for the need at hand. We do not require a
map for our lives; and, we remain free to respond easily to any situation when
we understand that yes, no, or maybe all are right answers for us at the exact moment
we give or receive them.
We need to understand our
Universe is a harmonious Wholeness within Itself despite any appearance to the
contrary. I mentioned the “shadow of the Almighty” recently. That “shadow” is a
metaphor for our active knowing that we live companioned with the Divine, which
both guides and provides if we let It. God helps those who let Him but, always
responds affirmatively to our statements. The Law produces for us the things we
fear as easily as It would produce our desires. If we recalled our desires
every time our fears rise up to scare us we would always know prosperity.
Now, I embrace prosperity as both
my way of being in the world and my Source of life, calling, love, and wealth.
I cease to consider events as blockades or disasters and now recognize the long
view of harmony working itself out. So, in my new outlook, I see my own
security and freedom as integral to that of the world around me and subject to
my decision for good. Good goes forth in my words and action. Only good returns
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
