Saturday Treatment - Maintaining a Prayerful Undercurrent

There is a way of ordering our mental life on more than one level at once. On one level we can be thinking, discussing, seeing, calculating, meeting all the demands of external affairs, but deep within, behind the scenes at a profounder level we may also be in prayer and adoration, song and worship and a gentle receptiveness to divine breathings. ― Thomas R. Kelly A Testament of Devotion

In the silence of the soul’s communion with the Great Cause of All Being, into the stillness of the Absolute, into the secret place of the Most High, back of the din and the ceaseless roar of life, we shall find a resting place and a place of real spiritual power. ― Ernest Holmes Creative Mind and Success

Maintaining a Prayerful Undercurrent

I seek greater awareness of Spirit within and as me constantly. At work, at play, in quiet times or busy, wherever I am, and whatever else I do, I find peace, poise, and power to live by maintaining my prayerful undercurrent of joyful acceptance of the good of God which is spiritual yet fulfills my every human need. The Divine is in us, as us all immediately available simply waiting and receptive for our call. I make that call.

I call upon the Divine to open my eyes, my ears, my mind, and my heart to more profound realization of peace, assurance, gratitude, and love; to show me the beneficence of everyone and everything It readily answers clearly, simply, and directly for It hears and answers every call with “Yea and Amen.”  In this mindset, I live abundantly, freely, lovingly, enthusiastically, and vitally my life of wonder, beauty, and satisfaction.

Now, I find my quiet undercurrent of persistent prayer more powerful that world events. I see that we may all transcend the news and noise of our daily lives and live immediately in this Earth as the heaven promised by every sacred scripture. I accept this reality with complete joy as I cherish the day. And so, it is.

Rev. John C. Lusk RScP 

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. It is like the sunlight of eternal truth bursting through the clouds of obscurity and bathing the whole world in glory. It is the absolute that you are dealing with and nothing else. - Ernest Holmes
