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 […]

Opening New Doors – Day 20 – The Door of Embodiment

What does it mean to embody something? According to one definition, embodiment means “experiencing life through bodily sensations and integrating that felt sense with the mind, dissolving the mind-body split.” When it comes to manifestation, it is impossible to demonstrate a new idea in form without embodying that idea. As Ernest Holmes reminds us throughout […]

Opening New Doors – Day 19 – The Door of Vision

Neville Goddard often told the story of his teacher, Abdullah, who taught him the radical practice of “living in the end.” When Neville wanted to travel to Barbados but had no money and no ticket, Abdullah refused to discuss the problem. He simply said, “You are already in Barbados.” Each time Neville tried to explain […]

Opening New Doors – Day 18: The Door of Gratitude

Meister Eckhart once said,“If the only prayer you ever said was ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” Joe Dispenza offers a modern echo of this truth:“Gratitude is the ultimate state of receivership.” Both expressions point to the same essential idea: genuine gratitude shifts our mindset—and our energy—into a receptive, abundant state. Why is this important? Is […]
