The Last Frontier

“The only way to become permanently prosperous and successful is through the quickening, awakening, and bringing into righteous use all the indwelling resources of Spirit. When we develop our soul and express its talents and capabilities in loving service to God and mankind, all of our temporal needs will be supplied in bountiful measure. We have access to the realm of rich ideas; we enrich our consciousness by incorporating these rich ideas into it. A rich consciousness always demonstrates manifest prosperity.” – The Story of Unity, James Dillet Freeman, page 235.

Like other issues in life, manifestation on the physical plane is the last place in which results show up. First, I go to Source. Flowing from there, I see effects and changes to my mental state, then my emotional state, and finally the physical world. The outer world comes to reflect my inner world. The outer world is the result, not the source. God is First Cause. If I want to change my outer world, I must change my inner world - the kingdom within.

Illness is a good example of this. Louise Hay relates health conditions to states of mind. Constipation is the refusing to release old ideas, being stuck in the past. An earache is about not wanting to hear related to anger and too much turmoil. Foot problems are related to fear of the future and of not stepping forward in life. Harboring hard thoughts and beliefs of bitterness, condemnation, and pride can result in gallstones. The state of mind precedes the state of physical health. That’s why taking a pill, which may provide some relief to the condition, is only a band-aid for a symptom; it does not address cause.

Just like illness is the out picturing of thoughts and consciousness, my financial condition is as well. Now that I’ve gotten myself back on track - in ‘fit spiritual condition’ - and in ever-expanding consciousness, I expect to see manifestation on the physical plane reflecting the richness of my inner life. I hold great expectancy of God opening channels from which money flows with ease and grace, and in perfect ways. The more that flows, the more I give, the more I am of service to God. Once again I am brought back to Source.

Support

I’m on my third day of back pain, and although it’s improving, I’m still in slow gear.

I’m working on what the lesson is here for me to learn. One is that I need to rest and relax more, take better care of myself instead of putting other people or things first. I needn’t wait until I hit bottom and God gets my attention to do so.

Another lesson was revealed to me in reading today’s Daily Word. The message was: “I have the support I need to succeed. I rely on God for help, support and guidance.”

In her list that correlates dis-eases with probable causes (in You Can Heal Your Life), Louise L. Hay notes that the back represents the support of life. Specifically, lower back problems relate to “fear of money. Lack of financial support.” Her affirmations (or ‘new thought patterns’) are: I know that Life always supports me, and I trust the process of life. All I need is always taken care of. I am safe, respectively.

With the financial and housing adventures Rog and I have been going through these past 14 months coming to another milestone in the next week, it’s certainly possible (ya think?!) that I am unconsciously feeling a bit fearful.

However, it’s been true that we have been so taken care of and supported by Spirit during this time. That support hasn’t always showed up as we would have envisioned it or on our timetable, but God has certainly come through. God is my Source and I must remember that All I need is always taken care of.

Dear Spirit of the Most High –
I know that You are my Source, and You supply and support me in all of Life. May I walk in absolute faith in these days ahead and may the condition of my physical back reflect that faith in the Universe supporting me in Life’s processes and adventures.
