Planting My Garden of Consciousness: Potatoes or Tomatoes

“All law must be subjective; the soil knows how to take a seed and make a plant from it; it does not know whether it is making a tomato or a potato.”—Ernest Holmes I love this quote. It perfectly summarizes why we are where we are in this present day. What have we been thinking? […]

Staying Awake in the Storm

Staying Awake in the Storm Kaua‘i and the Hawaiian Islands are experiencing what feels like an unusual storm of high, erratic winds and heavy rain. Two inches of rain in an hour is a lot by any standard. As conscious beings, we can recognize that these unusual storms are a manifestation of the intense taxing […]

The Heart of the Matter

You can find my blog here. I hope you enjoy it. https://empoweredpartners.substack.com/p/the-heart-of-the-matter I’ve been picking up older New Thought books lately and digesting how we have progressed forward from the original teachings of our New Thought forefathers and mothers. I am always so inspired by how they knew intuitively what science is now beginning to […]

Thoughts are Things?

When I Didn’t Know My Thoughts Mattered For much of my life, I didn’t think my thoughts mattered. In fact, I didn’t think about my thoughts at all—I just had them. I call this the unconscious period of my life, and it lasted until I was about 45 years old. The Awakening: Thoughts Are Things […]

Fearing Fear Itself?

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”—words spoken by Franklin D. Roosevelt—truly resonate with me today. If I tune into the media too much, I can find myself on a runaway train of fear. Why does this happen to someone like me, who is steeped in the Science of Mind philosophy? I […]

From the Heart

We enter the month of February, and already the stores have been filled with Valentine’s cards and candies since December. I don’t want to get caught in the commercialism of it all, but I do want to catch the fire behind February—the month of Love—before the commercial world catapults me into the next holiday to […]

I Will Persist Until I Succeed!

“If we know that the power we are dealing with is Principle and not personality; if we know and believe that Mind is the only Actor, Cause, Effect, Substance, Intelligence, Truth, and Power that there is; if we have a real embodiment; then we can demonstrate. If we lack, if we are poor, if we […]

Knock, Knock! Who’s There?

Knock, knock.Who’s there?Change.Change who?Change who’s knocking… it’s always been you. As I think upon my life and the idea of the Law of Freedom, I recognize how often we believe something outside of ourselves is causing our life to be the way it is. “The door to freedom swings on the hinges of our own […]

I Will Pray

I am sitting here, like many U.S. citizens and people around the world, wishing we could do something. Many of us feel helpless. We feel our country has been overtaken by madness, our freedoms taken away in so many areas. I am in my 70s, and I never thought I would be living through such […]

Opening New Doors – Day 21 – The Door of Becoming

“No person whose entire time is spent in the contemplation of limitation can demonstrate freedom from such limitation. The Law Itself must be willing to give, because in so giving, Life is Self-Expressed.” — Ernest Holmes Throughout our teaching of New Thought, we are reminded that this is not a get-rich-quick philosophy. It is a […]
