I am now surrounded by all love, all friendship, all companionship, all health, all happiness, all success. I AM ONE WITH LIFE. I wait in the silence while the Great Spirit bears this message to the whole world. ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 299
As we continue developing the art of appreciation, we find that the Law of Increase expands our good in every area of living. The greater and more faith-filled our expectations, the more perfectly we demonstrate a life of freedom and joy. Choosing to focus on Truth, rather than error, Goodness, instead of condemnation, we draw the best from situations and relationships. As the Danish proverb advises, “Look for the King in the man, and he shall come forth.” (The same applies to beholding the Queen in anyone!)
It is this higher vision that empowers us to form friendships and human connections that are valuable, authentic, and mutually respectful and supportive. Yes, it requires we abandon our criticism and replace it with real appreciation for the unique way Spirit expresses through each person. Imagine a world in which people chose the wisdom to see “Jove nodding behind Jove,” as Emerson suggests we view the Presence of the Divine behind each of our neighbors. Our sacred, internal work allows us to await the results “with cheerful expectancy,” as Troward wisely states.
Tune in this Sunday, November 20th, as we livestream from the Inspiration Café in Paoli, PA. Rev. Mike will return to the podium and inspire us with his talk on developing and appreciating relations, entitled “Cheerful Expectancy.” Please go to our website, www.cslphilly.org and click on the Orange “Watch Live” button. Past talks and Love Notes may be viewed there, as well.
Our Practitioners are found on the Practitioner Page of our website and may be contacted for spiritual support, via Spiritual Mind Treatment, for any challenges you may be facing or simply to lift and heal consciousness.
With great love and respect,
Dr. Maxine
