Day 43 of Round 3

Money is one of the most convenient forms
in which Spirit appears in our lives.
-- Dr. Margaret Stortz

Not enough money? Connect more with Spirit!

Thank God We're Rich!!

Day 42 of Round 3

Contemplate this today:

"I have unbounded faith in the omnipresent substance increasing and multiplying at my word of plenty, plenty, plenty."

- Rev. Edwene Gaines

Plenty of Love, plenty of money, plenty of health, plenty of friends, plenty of soul-satisfying well-paying work,
Plenty of Spirit in our lives!!

Thank God we're rich!!

Day 41 of Round 3

"If you're not happy with what you have, how could you be happier with more?"

Where would you say your happiness level is right now? Think about it for a moment.

If your mind immediately went to past problems, or future challenges ... take a breath and CHANGE YOUR MIND!

Right now you are sitting at your computer, reading this e-mail. Whether you are at work, at home, or perhaps at an internet cafe ... right NOW there are absolutely no problems. There is only you, your consciousness, and what ever you are doing at this moment.

Our life is made up of NOW moments. The more we can be happy with the present moments, the more happy moments there will be.

Ask yourself - What am I happy about RIGHT NOW? Make a list.

I am happy to have the connection with my internet "community" .... looking at Daisy, my cat, curled up in her bed behind my flat screen makes me happy .... I'm happy I have a flat screen ... I'm happy I can turn my head and look out the sliding door at tall cedar trees .... I am happy I can see .... I am happy my heart is beating, my fingers work, I have a comfortable chair, a roof over my head .....

As I write my list, I realize ....... right NOW I am happy. My happiness is a magnet for more happiness.
My happiness makes me feel rich. And that's a good thing.

Thank God we're rich!

Day 40 of Round 3

Our wealth is generated from the consciousness of being in the energetic of supply all the time. The Cause of everything (the Kingdom) is within the field of consciousness. Our relationship to it is one of drawing it through our own mind and into the manifest world.
Start today to boldly affirm: I am a living, breathing expression of Spiritual wealth. My life reveals its magnificent abundance. I am rich in all good things. My wealth is a gift to the world.
I am grateful for the bounty that is mine to share.

Rev. Carol Carnes

Day 39 of Round 3

A Spiritual Mind Treatment for Money.

I now subconsciously accept this treatment. There is only one Creative Cause, God. There is only one Mind, There is only one Life, God. There is only one Substance, God. This present universe is the glory of God. It is a moving, flexible, fluid creation. It is alive with the Life, The Abundance, and the richness of God. I abide in prosperity. Mind created me in order that it might act through me. Therefore, I am receptive to its abundance. I am receptive to its circulation in my life in the form of money.

Money is God's idea of circulation in my world of finance. I accept this idea completely. I appreciate this idea, I like it. Money being God in Action, is absolute good, it is wholesome. It is a blessing to man and I prosper with it. I have no fear of lack for I believe I have plenty of money.

It is God's Activity in my world. It is God's Activity in my bank account. It is God's Activity in my investments. It is God's Activity in everything to which I lay my hands. This money is flowing, this money is free. I do not attempt to lock it up. I do not put a fence around it. It is gods' money, I let it flow in. I let it flow out.

As I release it, I know that it comes back to me, pressed down, shaken together and running over. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." I am now free in money. I rejoice in it. I appreciate it and I thank God for it. I have money forever more. And so it is.

Dr. Raymond Charles Barker

Day 38 of Round 3

A few days ago I asked you to review your original intention for this round. Here are some questions for you:

1. Is your heart still in the desire for what seems to be taking so long to arrive?

2. Have you released the intention to Spirit - or are you "managing" the intention with your will?

3. Are you really willing to be what your desired fulfillment will require you to be?

"I know that the Spirit within me

is my strength and abundance.

I approach life with a sense of

security and well-being.

I know I have a secret source in God.

I believe in myself because I believe in God."

Ernest Holmes

365 Science of Mind

Thank God We're Rich!!

Day 37 of Round 3

"My atmosphere is attracting the Good; it is constantly on the alert to see and know the Good, and to bring it into my experience.
There is that within me that calls forth abundance and happiness from Life. I am surrounded with an atmosphere of Peace, Poise and Power.
All who come in contact with that great Calm of my Life are made strong and confident, are healed and whole."

Ernest Holmes, Meditations for Self-Help, Science of Mind

Day 36 of Round 3

This paragraph came in an e-mail I received this morning:

Albert Einstein loved thinking – he was excited over the thoughts that surfaced. In fact, those who worked with him reported that he was often “gleeful” with an idea. This is exactly why Albert Einstein changed our world instead of just thinking about changing it. Albert got emotionally involved with his ideas. He visualized their physical result on the screen of his mind and, to everyone else’s surprise, those ideas became realities that changed our world’s perspective.


Are you getting emotionally involved with your ideas? What a great way to be in relationship with The Divine! Feel the joy of your ideas, feel grateful for all you have ever had, all you have now, and all that is coming.
Feel prosperous!!

Thank God we're rich!

Day 35 of Round 3

In "Creating Affluence" Deepak Chopra writes:

"When we relinquish our need to constantly classify things as good or bad, right or wrong, then we experience more silence in our consciousness. Our internal dialogue begins to quieten when we shed the burden of judgment, and it is easier to access the gap."

Have you been judging or labeling yourself in regards to prosperity? According to the Law of Attraction, whatever we think and feel about ourselves will outpicture in our world. Breathe deeply right now, let go of all the needs and wants, and let yourself settle into the gap.In "the gap" we begin to understand that we are already all that we desire to be.

And we Thank God we're rich!

Day 34 of Round 3

"You are gods who have forgotten who they are.
You are emperors who have fallen asleep
and are dreaming that they have become beggars.
Now beggars are trying to become emperors,
in dreams they are making great efforts to become emperors,
and all that is needed is to wake up!"
- Osho

I love this quote!! I KNOW it is our Truth.
We are already all that we desire to be!
Let's wake up together!

Day 33 of Round 3

Where you are in consciousness has everything to do with what you see in experience. -- Eric Butterworth

Someone asked me the other day why I am writing the "Thank God We're Rich" e-mails. At the time I told them it was because I enjoy doing it -- yet it is more than that.

I KNOW the quote above is true. I believe it is my job to light the way for a change in consciousness -- in particular my own! I am ready and willing to do whatever I must to experience the good the Universe has in store for me -- and It can do for me what It can do through me! I am expanding my consciousness to know more of my Self in every area of my life!!

Isn't this why you are reading them?

Thank God We're Rich!

Day 32 of Round 3

Many years ago, I remember sitting in the car of my teacher, Rev. Helen Street. She had given me a ride home from a prosperity course she was teaching. I started to cry and told her I was doing everything she told us to do: I was asking, I was giving, I was tithing .... yet nothing was changing! I was still in debt and my income wasn't increasing. She looked at me very seriously and asked "Who haven't you forgiven?"

As I worked with this question, I was surprised to find out just how connected forgiveness and debt are. I followed my feelings about certain debts back to their originating point, I came to places I had refused to forgive either myself or others. As I did the forgiveness work (and remember, all prosperity work is done in our mind and heart) I found that the old debts became unstuck !!

If you're in the place I was at that time, I'll have to ask you: "Who haven't you forgiven?"

Day 31 of Round 3

Yesterday I mentioned we were at the half way point of round 3. Maybe it's time to look back at Day 1 and see what our intention was for this Round. As we live our busy lives, it is easy to get mesmerized by the world way of thinking.... and we all know what that is -- "not enough!"

Shake off any ideas of limitation you might have allowed to stick to your consciousness. The Truth is God is our Source ... and it is up to us to decide how to use the Power of our Source! It's not up to anyone else and no facts can destroy the Truth!

"Be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind." Choose again the intention you started with --- or even review and refresh it!

Thank God We're Rich!

Day 29 of Round 3

One day I was talking to someone who really believes the harder one works, the greater the possibility of becoming rich. Another person made a joke about winning the lottery. I realized I was standing between two different belief systems -- either one might or might not bring them the riches they desired.

When we think of the people who work the hardest -- the ones that do physical labour -- the facts point to the lowest pay scale. When we think of the people who are fantasizing about winning the lottery -- well, as my father used to say "You can wish in one hand and poop in the other - and see what you come up with."

In Truth, riches come not only by right of our consciousness, but by how we feel. So - today's question is:

Do I deserve to be rich?

If the answer is a wholehearted YES! then you already are rich. If the answer is no - then why not?

Thank God we can always change our minds.

Let's look once again at who we are: We are an expression of The Divine. There is nothing anyone can tell us (or has told us) that can change that Truth. As The Divine, we are co-creating this world. We choose what to experience and the Law manifests according to what we believe and feel. I say Thank God We're Rich!!

Day 28 of Round 3


I am sitting on the lanai (balcony) of the Hilton Waikoloa -- overlooking the dolphin pond -- with a gorgeous view of the ocean. It is an absolutely amazing day!!

I was gifted this trip to Hawai'i, and then another friend gifted me with a night at one of the most exclusive resort hotels on the Big Island. As I sit here in my gratitude, feeling the soft Hawaiian air, listening to the mynah birds and the ocean, I feel so blessed.

I watched the dolphins swimming lazily around their enclosure, and silently greeted them, mentally sharing my feeling with them. As I watched they started jumping, doing flips, even waving their flippers in my direction! I looked for their trainer, thinking they were practicing ... but no one is there .... this is a performance just for me!! Now I feel even more blessed!

Have you ever thought that instead of always looking for your good - perhaps your good is looking for you? That if you open your eyes, your heart and your mind to the possibilities, you would realize that Spirit really is here for you, co-creating with you, gifting you with way more than you think your heart could desire?

Emma Curtis Hopkins wrote "God is your Good." Let your Good find you today!!

Thank God We're Rich!

Day 27 of Round 3

"You never have to settle for 'playing the cards you were dealt.' Because your beliefs influence your choices, everything in your life, including how you earn a living, how much money you generate, and how fulfilled you feel, is a reflection of your inner landscape of beliefs. Your life results from your intentions, imagination, and willingness to let Divine Spirit flow through you and your endeavors."

from a new book "Soul Currency" by Ernie Chu

Where in your life are you "settling"? You can change your mind at any time - do so today!!

And Thank God We're Rich!

Day 26 of Round 3

Another "Secret" of prosperity is tithing. This is a subject most people don't want to hear about, however, it's one of the keys to wealthy living!!

In the Bible, Malachi 3:10 it states "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."

Do you believe this??? What if we started tithing and found that we started manifesting so much we could hardly contain it?? Besides, where else in the Bible does God say "Make me prove it?"

I started tithing years ago as an experiment ... and I can tell you it works!

If you aren't already .. give it a try ... It's wonderful!!

Day 25 of Round 3

I was talking with someone the other day who was having a hard time with the idea of materialism and spirituality .... and it made me wonder if any of us have that conflict.

Remember that everything is energy. Everything! The late Dr. Raymond Charles Barker declared that money is a symbol of the action of the Divine in our lives. If you want more Good, get more God.

The more we re-align ourself with our Self, and the more grateful we are to be able to have that understanding, the more we will have to be grateful for!

God does not judge. Not at all. We are the judge and jury. Have you been condemning the idea of being rich because it conflicts with your ideas of being spiritual? Let it go.

Thank God we're rich!!

Day 24 of Round 3

In "This Thing Called Life" Dr. Ernest Holmes writes:

"... we shall learn how to use this Power consciously and intelligently both for ourselves and for others. We are going to be very humble in this, but with no sense of false humility -- humble as we stand in awe before the tremendous possibilities before us, while at the same time, radiant with expectancy as we contemplate the possibility of the blessings in store for ourselves and others."

The spiritual life is a constant learning process. Our consciousness needs to be upgraded, on a daily basis, as we too easily fall into the world way of thinking.

What beliefs about prosperity are floating around in your area of the world? or in your family and your circle of influence? What are you experiencing because of it? Have you settled for facts being truth? They are not!! The Truth is that the Universe is always meeting every need. Just look at nature if you don't believe me.

Thank God we can always choose again what we want to believe!!

I believe in this: Thank God We're Rich!!

Be radiant with expectancy!

Day 23 of Round 3

Where ever you are in our beautiful world, stop for a moment and take a deep breath ...
Right where you are, right in this moment,
There is nothing to worry about, nothing to plan,
Just breathe ....
and breathe again....
Let yourself feel the richness of Perfect Peace
as you settle into your Spirit ...
Feel the world around you with your senses
but no judgement ...
breathe again,
All this you have created ,...
be Grateful...
very grateful!

Thank God we're rich!

Day 22 of Round 3

is coming to you from the Big Island of Hawai'i! It's warm and the air is soft, moist and sweet smelling ... AHHHH ...
It's so easy to appreciate all the Universe has to offer when one is on holiday in this beautiful location.

As we flew along the coast of the Big Island yesterday, I could see lots of waterfalls, which reminded me of an Abraham-Hicks quote:

The world is awash in money! Do you hear what that means? It is awash in money. It is flowing for everyone. It is like Niagara Falls.
And most of you are showing up with your teaspoons.

How are you showing up? Allow yourself to bathe in the abundance of the Universe today -- look for it - it's everywhere!!

Thank God We're Rich!

Day 21 of Round 3

"I trust

The Creative Process

within me is

continuously stimulating my

prosperity consciousness

as I experience

my Divine Good now."

Day 20 of Round 3

Mondays ....

Do you say that with a groan or a smile ?

No matter where we're working, it is the attitude with which we approach our work that is important. If we want to be more prosperous, it does no good to "bite the hand that feeds you" by moaning or groaning about anything in your workplace!! Find something to appreciate about it today.

If you are not working and want to be, appreciate the fact that you have a day off, 'cause soon you'll only have the weekends.

If you are self-employed, appreciate the universal energy of another prosperous week beginning.

If you're in Canada, enjoy your holiday today!!

Remember the energy you bring to the day you get to experience!!

Thank God We're Rich!

Day 19 of Round 3

TREATMENT FOR SUPPLY
by Dr. Ernest Holmes

A treatment after this manner should prove the law of abundance in the life of those who use such statements, and believe in them:

"I am surrounded by pure Spirit, by God, the Living Spirit. My thought is God thought, and it is the law unto that thing where unto it is spoken. Everything that I do shall be a success. I am led, guided and inspired by the Living Spirit of Love and of right action. I am compelled to move in the right direction and to always know what to do, where, and how to do it.

"I am surrounded by right action. I am filled with the consciousness of right action. Right action is success in all that I undertake to do. I am successful in all my undertakings, and I am compensated for all my efforts. I am surrounded by Substance, which is always taking the form of supply and always manifesting Itself to me in the form of whatever my need may be at the time.

"I always have an abundance of money and an abundance of whatever it takes to make life happy and opulent. There is a continuous movement toward me of supply, of money, of all that I need to express the fullest life, happiness and action.

"I have an inner understanding of my place in the Universe. I know that it is unique. The Divine has not incarnated in anyone else in just the same individual way that It has in me. I am unique and forever individualized. Therefore, I do not need to imitate anyone or to long for the good that belongs to another. All good is now mine and is now manifest in my experience. I do not compete with anyone, for I am and remain forever myself. This self is united with all selves, but is always an individual and a unique self.

"There is that in me which all people recognize as worth while and desirable, and everyone whom I meet loves this self of mine and recognizes its worth. I draw all toward me and those whom I can benefit and those who can benefit me are irresistibly drawn toward me. I do not strain, will or coerce. I know. The Truth makes me free from the fear of poverty or bondage, and emancipates me from the thought of limitation. I see that money, like everything else that is desirable, must be a spiritual idea, and I know that I have this idea right in my mind at this moment, I shall always have this idea of abundance. It is mine and I take it.

"The opportunity for self-expression and compensation is always open to me and I am at all times compelled to know, accept and operate upon this opportunity. I have abundance because I am abundance. "All that the Father hath is mine."

And So It Is.

Day 18 of Round 3

Today is for Play! Let go of all doubts and fears and worries about the future - and be fully present in whatever you do today.

In Present Time it's easier to recognize our Oneness. As we recognize and acknowledge this wonderful spiritual connection that has always been with us and always will, we will take our focus off "what's wrong" and BE with what's right!

Enjoy your day!!

Day 17 of Round 3

Another wonder writing by Eileen Cady, co-founder of Findhorn:


These Gifts Cannot Enter Closed Hearts

You can be offered something, but unless you hold out your hand and accept that offer it does not become yours. You have to do your part. With the things of Spirit this applies even more. Much is being held out to you, yet many fail to accept these wonderful gifts. You turn your backs on them instead of opening your hearts and allowing them to flood your whole being. These gifts cannot enter closed hearts. Why not accept joyously all that I am offering to you and know that as you accept, you grow in stature, you shoulder your responsibilities and become really useful to the whole. You find your rightful place in the whole scheme of things, for you have entered right into the midst of all that is going on and have become a part of it. Therefore you can really be used in the most wonderful ways to bring about My wonders.

-----

Are you ready and open to receive?

Day 16 of Round 3

Jose Silva, the founder of the Silva trainings, said that "Expectancy", the positive feeling of expecting something to occur, can cause physical changes to actually help manifest that which you expect. Neurobiological Science is showing that this is true.

Are you really EXPECTING your good ? Are you anticipating the feelings you will have as you experience your good?

As Emma Curtis Hopkins says "God is Good, therefore my Good is my God." Expect your Good today!!

Thank God we're rich!!

I was surfing the net this morning looking for a good quote to use .... and as I read various articles, one point kept coming to me ...
we have to affirm our right to receive!

Is there anything in your consciousness that says "I don't deserve the good I desire?"
If there is, this is an excellent place to use what I call The Power of NO! Yell it if you have to!
"NO! this is not my Truth!"

Now replace those old thoughts with new ones. With all the feeling and belief you can, say the following:

I have the right to receive all the good I desire and I accept it now!

And so it is.

Day 14 of Round 3

Yesterday was like Christmas at my home .... I got an electric fireplace and a beautiful living room rug ... and my house mates got a big screen TV for their private space !

All three items were things we had placed in mind through our desires. I laughed when I realized that the fireplace is the exact one I had cut out a picture of last fall and put on my Treasure Map. What fun to see our desires come into manifestation!!

Since it feels like Christmas, in the spirit of gifts -- I give you some:

I KNOW you are worthy of abundance and all good things. I know for you freedom from guilt . I know for you freedom from the idea of impossibility. I know for you joy and wholeness. I know for you that you delight in your existence!!
And so it is!

Day 13 of Round 3

My gratitude goes out to Jeff for today's affirmation that I just love!!

Let's use it today:

"God, I feel really rich today...thank you."

Day 12 of Round 3

Let's pray:

I recognize the powerful Presence of the Divine Source of all that is. It is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. It works through Love and Law. It is within me as well as around me.

I celebrate my Source today, knowing It has always served me well. What ever I have focused on, It has supplied without conditions.
Knowing It serves me though my consciousness, I now declare I have the consciousness of abundance. As I declare this, I feel all fear of lack and limitation leave my mind and heart. I breathe deeply feeling the freedom!

I trust my Source to assist me in creating the consciousness of abundance. Money now flows into my life with ease and grace.
I am prosperous in all areas of my life. I am so grateful for having the conscious awareness of the Power of my Source as It works through me. I also know that as I speak my word for myself I am speaking it for all others reading this Spiritual Mind Treatment. Thank God We're Rich!!

And so it is.

Dr. Margaret Stortz wrote:

"Money is one of the most convenient forms in which Spirit appears in our lives."

Feel like you need more money? Invite more Spirit-time into your life!!

Gratitude is one of the most important keys to having a prosperity consciousness.

What are you grateful for today? Even if one thought they had nothing, they could be grateful for waking up this morning, for being able to see, touch, hear, speak, smell -- experience the world with their senses. Even if one woke up in pain, they could be grateful for the ability to feel. There is always something to be grateful for. Remember, where your attention goes, the Energy flows!

Years ago I read about an experiment with plants. In one room the plants were given basic food and water, no more. In the other, the plants were given the basics, had music playing, and were praised by the researchers. Guess which plants responded the most!

Our consciousness is the same way. We can go along, doing things as we always have, and experiencing what we've always experienced .... or we could start being grateful for what we have and what we are about to receive, and Life (expressing through our consciousness) will give us even more to be grateful for!

I'm certainly grateful for all of you who choose to walk this Prosperity Path with me!!

Day 9 of Round 3

"Your mental state of being is the basis from which you attract more to you. Depending on the energy that you emit with your feelings you will attract into your experience the people, circumstances, situations and experiences that are in harmony with the balance of what you are sending out and letting in.

If you are feeling fat, you cannot attract thin. If you are feeling diseased, you cannot attract good health and...if you are feeling fearful financially, you cannot attract prosperity.

The truth will reveal itself to you -- if you create a open space for it to do so.
Now is the time for you to prove this to yourself!"

--- Elyse Hope Killoran

Let's open the space for prosperity today!!

Day 8 of Round 3

"He who looks outside his own heart dreams,
he who looks inside his own heart awakens."
-- Carl Jung

Ask yourself today "Where have I been looking for my good?"

Are you imagining someone coming to your rescue? or winning the lottery? Both of those things would be nice, however, it is what you find inside that counts.

When you look in your heart, are you rich beyond measure? Do you find self-love and gratitude there? These are the keys to your outward Good.

Day 6 & 7 of Round 3


Sorry I missed yesterday -- but I'm knowing you spend the day in a an appreciative way :)

The great teachings of the ages tell us that life is not lived from outside-in, but from inside-out. When you got your mail today and found some bills, what was your first reaction? That will tell you if you are financially living outside or inside. From the outside we look at the bill and get depressed, start to worry or wonder why we spent that money. We try to think of "solutions." From the inside we smile and read the bill without fear, with an awareness that the supply always exceeds the demand, and a heartfelt "Thank God I'm Rich!"

How will you react to your bills tomorrow?

Day 5 of Round 3

The true idea of money is not mental—it is spiritual.

—Ernest Holmes

Today let's look at how we actually view money ...

What messages did you receive as a child? Is it dirty? Does having a lot means you got it by doing something shady? Do you have to work really hard to deserve some?

Now - here's the REAL message of money: It is a symbol of God in action in our lives. Right now, allow yourself to bless any money you see - even the pennies in the street. Bless this Divine Expression!

Day 3 of Round 3

A message from The Universe arrived in my mailbox this morning -- written by the co-founder of Findhorn, the late Eileen Cady ...
How beautiful it is - read it with The Voice of The Divine resounding in your head and heart:

Start Each Day with Your Hand in Mine

You are here to live a life and not just talk about it. Why don’t you live it? There is far too much talk about how to live, but not nearly enough living. What does it mean to you to really live by faith, to start each day with your hand in Mine, with absolute faith and confidence that as you keep in close contact with Me I will guide your path, I will meet your every need, and that only the very best will come forth in your lives and living? Have you absolute faith that I know all your needs, that I am meeting every one of them, and that I want only the very best for every one of you? Or are you content to accept second-best? My love for you is infinite and all My good and perfect gifts are yours.Why not accept them with open and grateful hearts?

Day 3

Esther Hicks of "Abraham" fame tells us that at the heart of every desire is the desire to be happy.

Perhaps we should ask ourselves -- What is it about prosperity that will make us happy?

The clearer we get on our intention - and how it works mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - the sooner we will embody the prosperity consciousness we desire.

Blessings Along the Prosperity Path :)

Yesterday I invited you to declare your intentions for this round of

Thank God We're Rich.

Today I want you to TRUST that what you have declared as your intention is now your Reality.

Today I cultivate the art of having faith.

As a child turns to its parents,

so do I turn to that infinite Presence

whose creative Law can do all things,

and I accept the influx of all that makes for richer living.

Because nothing is impossible to God,

I believe nothing is impossible to me

thru God's power in me.

Ernest Holmes

365 Science of Mind

Today Round 3 of Thank God We're Rich begins - and I'm excited!! I anticipate and intend that great good comes into our lives easily and effortlessly!

What is YOUR intention for this 30 day period?

I'd like to start with a wonderful affirmation Rev. Gay Monkman gave me yesterday:

"I am alive to the richness in me."

Let this be your affirmation today, and notice how the Universe responds.

Welcome to the Prosperity Path!!

"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

365 Science of Mind

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.

Day 27 of Round 2

This arrived in todays e-mail ... (thanks Jeff)

I changed it a bit and thought it perfect for today ...

A Prosperity Psalm

God's Law is my banker, my credit is good

It maketh me lie down in the consciousness of abundance

It giveth me the key to Its strongbox

It restoreth my faith in Its riches

It guideth me in the paths of prosperity for Spirit’s sake

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of debt

I shall fear no evil for Thou art with me

Thy silver and thy gold, they secure me

Thou preparest a way for me in the presence of the collector

Thou fillest my wallet with plenty

My measure runneth over

Surely goodness and plenty shall follow me all the days of my life

And I shall do business in the name of Spirit forever.

Thank God we're rich!!

Day 26 of Round 2

It is so easy to start giving ourself excuses as to why we aren't richer, healthier, etc.. It seems like those excuses start coming up when what we are intending to have doesn't immediately show up in our lives.

My Mother used to say "Rome wasn't built in a day" and I hated to hear it. Most of us have been raised in a "fast food" society. We want things right this minute! Yet the statement is so true. It has taken me _____ number of years to manifest what I have today .... why do I think I can instantly manifest what I want now? I won't say I couldn't manifest instantly -- we've all had demonstrations of things happening immediately. One of our foundational teachings is "It is done unto us as we believe" if we believe something to be easy, it is.

However, things usually have a process involved. For instance, if I am treating for my perfect job, perhaps the Universe is moving the person now holding that job into their next perfect job. Or the Beloved I am treating for has to move to the city I live in.

While we're waiting, we can let go of our excuses and trust. The Universe can only give us what we accept for ourselves, and if we are accepting excuses, then we get to live by them. The Truth is, we are living with and using a Power that is infinite, that is greater than anything we can imagine! We're squandering this Power using It to manifest the results of our excuses.

I think it's time for us to get re-committed to our desires. Command the Law to work for you! Command your consciousness to accept greater good!

With absolute conviction say:

I now have the consciousness of _______________ and I see my good manifest in my life now.

Now Trust the Process ... the Law always works.

And so it is!

Day 25 of Round 2

A week or so ago, we were talking about Dreams -- not the nighttime ones, tho many creative ideas come from there -- but the Dreams of our hearts ...

Here's some inspiration for your Dreams

Day 24 of Round 2

Yesterday I participated in a day long workshop with an awesome teacher - Leonard EagleCloud. We spent almost the whole day in meditation, exploring our relationships with every aspect of life, and how everything is ready and willing to help us with whatever we need help with.

It made me realize the richness of this Universe we are co-creating together.

Today allow yourself some "outdoor spirituality"... walk in Nature and honour the plant, animal and mineral life that is so abundant around us. Even if you live in the middle of a area full of high-rise buildings ... there is Nature all around you. Let yourself be grateful for this opulent expression of The Divine.

Thank God we're rich!

Day 23 of Round 2

This week we've been focusing on Trusting .... letting go of all we are afraid of, and opening up to the glory of The Divine, expressing in, through and as us.

What does this have to do with being rich? Fear blocks the flow ... a natural flow that is consistantly being given. Now we open the floodgates with awareness and gratitude.

Let's Pray:

Recognizing the One Powerful Presence that is the Source and Substance of all, including myself ... I now declare:

I am ready and willing to be all I can be. I am willing to let go of all that has not served me up until now. I let go of my littleness, my fears, my settling for less-than.

I am willing to be a greater receiver. I choose to Trust! I trust that Infinite Intelligence is working for me, through me and always will.

I celebrate my good. I spend time in gratitude. I claim this Spiritual Mind Treatment as truth. I release it into spiritual law, knowing the Law always works. And so it is.

Day 22 of Round 2

LIVING WITHOUT FEAR

"How much better it would be if we could think as a child thinks,

abandoning ourselves to the

integrity of the miracle-working universe in which we live.

If the warmth of the sun can melt an iceberg,

why should it not follow that there must be

something in us that can

dissolve any difficulty, remove any obstruction;

We should consciously practice

having faith,

just as we would practice to become a musician.

. . . there must be persistency

until finally old thought patterns melt

and give way to new ones of... LIVING WITHOUT FEAR."

Ernest Holmes

365 Science of Mind

Day 21 of Round 2

One of the things that prevents us from trusting the Divine is fear.

If we think about it, we might say we have fears about getting old and being poor, about not being able to provide the immediate neccessities for our families, not being good enough for our employers, or to be employed, not finding love and many other things. When we really look at these, they are not separate things -- they are just fear itself.

Dr. Holmes called fear "negative prayer." If we spend a good deal of our time worrying, we are actually telling The Universe we want more of what we are worrying about. What we focus on is what we get to experience.

How do we get out of fear? Think about something else instead.

Declare right now that part of your mind is your not-so-silent witness. Command it to gently, easily and humorously remind you everytime you start down a fear path. Start thinking about God instead.

Don't tell God how big your problems are -- tell your problems how big your God is!!

And thank God we're rich!!
