“If you intend to be of assistance, your eye is not upon the trouble but upon the assistance, and that is quite different. When you are looking for a solution, you are feeling positive emotion — but when you are looking at a problem, you are feeling negative emotion.” – Abraham, Excerpted from "The Law of Attraction, The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham" #366.
This of course is the concept that what we put our focus on becomes our reality.
And, this reminds me of the W.I.L.D. (Women In Love with the Divine) meeting I attended yesterday. Its focus was Emmet Fox’s concept of the Golden Key.
God is omnipotent, and we are God's image and likeness and have dominion over all things. Every individual has the ability to draw on this power.
Drawing on this power through scientific prayer will enable you to get out of any difficulty. In scientific prayer it is God who works, and not you, and so your particular limitations or weaknesses are of no account in the process. You are only the channel through which the divine action takes place, and your treatment will be just the getting of yourself out of the way.
It is very simple: Stop thinking about the difficulty, whatever it is, and think about God instead.
So once again, regardless of what is going on in my life - my business, my relationships, etc. - if I want to live in peace, joy, harmony, and love I must keep my eye focused on Thee.

In An Instant
“The amount of time it takes you to get from where you are to where you want to be, is only the amount of time it takes you to change the vibration within you. Instant manifestation could be yours if you could instantly change the vibration.” – Abraham, Excerpted from the 08.23.03 San Diego, CA workshop #370
The aforementioned is a reminder to me that it only takes an instant to change my mind and my attitude. It is simply a matter of choice, my choice.
However, it doesn’t always seem so simple. But, I know that with God all things are possible. Again, by choice, I can ask Spirit for help.
I am never alone or without resources. God, my Source, helps me to change when I am willing and ask for help.

Reborn
As I look back on my life these past several months, I have been reborn again and again. It’s obvious that this notion of being reborn is no longer a once-in-a-lifetime experience as I’d sensed it was. Yet its increased frequency doesn’t diminish its significance one bit.
So what do I mean by being reborn? My working definition of “being reborn” is: “a significant inner shift of a positive and spiritual nature that alters my sense of self and others thereby transforming my world view followed by a change in attitude and action.”
Sounds a lot like a miracle to me.

Desire
“Desire summons Life Force. If we must continue to be alive, we must continue to have new desire.” - Abraham (Excerpted from the Chicago, IL, 04.24.99 #368 workshop)
New desire came into me at the beginning of this year when new energies filled me and reactivated that divine spark within. It has been an especially exciting trip since then, filled with ever-accelerating spiritual growth and understanding. I feel more alive, balanced, and enthusiastic. No doubt I feel God’s presence more, and am assured once again that I am never alone.
Perhaps I needed to ‘reach bottom’ to have my past life ‘cracked open’ and begin anew. No matter the reason, I am grateful.

This Day
This day my prayer is really the one I have every day but I realized that I’ve not given it expression in a while. And since there is power in expressing, it is time that I do so again.
This day my prayer is to clearly hear Spirit’s guidance and to follow it. My prayer is to do God’s will, and to do it in peace, and love, and joy.
And whatever is God’s will, I know the Great Mystery is with me to accomplish it, to give me the ability and strength to carry it out. I need only ask, be open, and be willing.
This day may I be all these things and more.

Patience and Faith
“Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choice less as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea." - A Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“Patience” is the word that Spirit whispered in my ear as I came towards the end of a conversation with Rog last night. Patience for what? Patience with him and for the spiritual journey he is on, patience with my own spiritual path, and patience with my ego.
There’s that part of me that wants answers and solutions immediately. And, that part would gladly dive into a quick-fix without weighing future repercussions.
Being patient with my ego, treating it kindly like a little kid, gives me a chance to breathe, slow down, and be in the now. I am able to open up what was a closing heart and enjoy some peace.
Inherent in this patience is the faith, the knowing, that Spirit sits with me while I wait and seek a solution that flows with ease and grace and is for the highest good of all.

Faith
Today’s Daily Word - Monday, March 1, 2010
Faith
I walk by faith, not by sight.
Today I stand firmly in my faith. I meet life courageously and confidently, seeing beyond appearances to the underlying good. Through faith I overcome every limitation. I know that God's power in me is greater than any situation I may have to meet or overcome; God is greater than any condition or circumstance.
Through faith I am fearless and free. Faith dispels fear, for faith knows the nothingness of fear. Faith reminds me that God is the only presence and power in my life.
Through faith I am steady and strong. I am assured that with God there is always a way, with God there are always right answers.
Through faith I walk in the light. I am shown the way of my highest good. I am healed. I am blessed.
We walk by faith, not by sight. - 2 Corinthians 5:7
Of course after this past weekend of spiritual nourishment and enlightenment, it’s synchronistic that Today’s Daily Word and Daily Guideposts Devotional both had faith as their topic. And, my other usual morning reading from In God’s Care was about the three words “Came to believe” referring to coming to believe in a power greater than ourselves that could restore us to sanity.
For it was in coming to believe and developing faith that I now find my joy in life. Being in community with other spiritual beings having a human experience, I easily have faith in God’s existence – and more.
I have faith in God’s love, compassion, mercy, and wondrous power. I have faith that this power greater than myself that I came to believe in is always with me. “And when we experience that insanity, it isn’t that God has moved, but that our faith has wandered and shaken hands with the craziness of self-sufficiency.” (from In God’s Care).
These past few days my soul has been fueled with faith in part via psycho-spiritual inner work. The other part has been through being with others who are also doing their inner work to awaken. We come together as One in loving, compassionate, faith-filled community.
