"Have you ever really tried having confidence in the Spirit?

Have you ever experimented with your own mind

to see if you could come to a place where you really believe

there is good enough to go around?

It is as though the spiritual masters were all telling us

that even the Divine Bounty itself,

lavish and extravagant as it must be,

awaits our acceptance.

Possibly we have been holding our bowl of acceptance. . .

upside down, so that even the fruit and the wine of the Spirit

cannot be poured into it.

Today my faith, my hope, my expectancy

looks up and out and beholds

a limitless abundance present everywhere."

Ernest Holmes

Here's a classic prosperity quote:

"There is a principle underlying the concept of giving and receiving which further encourages giving freely to others. The principle is that we only give to ourselves...Giving energy to another person does not deplete our own supply."

- Arnold Patent, You Can Have It All p.65

Have fun giving this week! Give something away every day. It could be money, a flower, a compliment or a smile. Give in gratitude that you can give.

As Arnold Patent says -- since we are all One, we're giving to various aspects of ourselves. Give even to those aspects you don't really care for!

Thank God We're Rich!!

We are at the end of our 2nd round of Thank God We're Rich !! I will continue to send out a TGWR message on Thursdays, and next quarter we'll go into Round 3.

I want to congratulate all of you for coming to the end of this part of our Journey ... I KNOW that whether you actively used the daily writings, or you just read them and hit "delete", there is Something Within You that knows all this stuff already, and we are now more conscious of It!

I asked for demonstration stories and received beautiful ones that I'd like to share with you ...

-- When we commenced this program, I thought it referred to money. Through a very humbling experience, I realized it is far more than money. During a personal traumatic crisis, a fellow member whispered words of encouragement as he gently held me; other members surrounded and protected me, while others gave a Spiritual Mind Treatment. I have never felt so rich in all my life. I am truly grateful and blessed ~ Thank God We’re Rich.

-- As you know, I have been without my computer for about 1 month and therefore, have not been part of the group. I will make it up as I go about this next month, thanks, as you say, to "technology".

My computer had to have a new "mother board" and new keyboard and was in the shop 3 weeks. The company called Japan for 2 1/2 hrs one day and made a long distance call for 1 1/2 hours the next. AND the demonstration is they only charged me for 1 hr. labor and all of the parts were under warranty!

How wonderful and what a gift!

--The first Religious Science Church I attended was the Hollywood Church. Dr. Bitzer was the minister and can remember him saying, "You always get paid for what you do. I have always remembered this and of course this is true. The good that we do and the service we render always finds its way back to us. I am finding new ways to serve as I open up to this greater Idea and I can feel my heart opening up which is true prosperity to me. A basic message from Mother Teresa was, "We serve life not because it is broken, but because it is holy. It all makes sense to me.

Right after you started the second round of TGIR I received a call from a friend who gave me a very good lead on a stock to purchase. I checked it out and it looks like a good investment. I bought some shares and it has been doing very well. It is a new company and a bit risky. I could sell it and make money but I think I will hold off for a while as it has the potential to do well.

-- I am deeply grateful for your willingness to shine your vibrant light on the world. In the course of round 2 I have expanded my thinking from entertaining the notion of buying the condo I now rent into the transformation of embracing the knowledge that "it is already done, as I believe" I am knowing that the necessary money is on its way to me in this very moment. My landlord is coming over this very afternoon to talk with me about our dream for me to assume ownership. Life is good. It is very good.

-- Hi there ,my prosperty during this time is as follows: Surgery great sucesss - Rev. a support through it all - Casual friends who have sent me flowers,cards,phone calls - Friends who have driven me to doctors, to banks and a new freind who looked after my old cat in my home for 5 days.

p.s. the old cat was rude and had no gratitude whatsoever .

My landlord who gave me a lovely big gift - My sister sent me the biggest flower boquet i have ever seen and gave me a gift card for m and m stores so i coukld eat well. - A niece who took a bus all the way from Whalley to Richmond hospital to visit me during the rotten weather - The prayer circles who prayed for me in the last month - and today the sunshine and I am now able to walk a full block, dust, do dishes and have company. Thank you all and thank you God . yeah GOD

PRICELESSS THATS PROPERITY!

WHOO HOO !! Thank you for sharing your stories and your tithes.

I just love this Truth: "Change your thinking - change your life!" and this is what we've been doing on our Journey of Abundance.

Let's close this round with a Treatment:

Recognizing the Source of all things seen and unseen, we celebrate living in the continual expectancy that every good thing in our experience shall be multiplied. This Source is my Source, and I have complete confidence in Its action in my experience.

I declare today is filled with blessing for myself and all others and this is just the beginning. As we traveled this Path of Abundance together, something wonderful happened for each of us. The past is gone, the present is filled with a deeper understanding and the future with manifested dreams. Gratefully I accept this Truth and extend It to everyone I meet. We are guided into divine right action and the successful accomplishment of all our good desires. This we accept and this we experience, in grace and joy.

Gratefully I release these words, knowing they are our Truth. And So It Is.

Day 29 of Round 2

Tomorrow is the last day of our 2nd Round -- I'd love to have some demonstration stories for tomorrow's Thank God We're Rich! What has happened for you, through you, as a result of our meeting for a moment together via this wonderful technology?

Part of solidifying a new consciousness in our subjective mind is acknowledgement. As we recognize, with gratitude, the good we have created in our lives, the focus we put on that good, sets up an attraction vibration for more good!

For myself, I am so grateful for being able to do this work. I have on my bulletin board above my desk an affirmation:

"My income increases whether I am working, sleeping or playing."

And this is my Truth. I am so grateful to be able to do what I love to do -- write, teach, share -- and be paid for it. There is rarely a day that money doesn't come into the church or directly to me, because of my ministry! I am so grateful for the medium of e-mail, as my clients and readers are now world-wide. Wow - I just realized I can honestly say I am a global Truth teacher!

Through Thank God We're Rich, I have gained a tremendous appreciation of all of Spirits gifts, and I honour those gifts in you, as you.

Please share some stories with me for tomorrow's mailing -- publically acknowledge your Good!!

Thank God We're Rich!!

Day 28 of Round 2

Be grateful for every living thing.

For everything, seen and unseen,

is gifts of the Spirit.
