“If we 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.” Ernest Holmes

How can this be true? I know it is true because when I live from that place which is called Mind or the Invisible, when I have a definite embodiment of an idea, my life turns out that way. I can’t control other people or make them do what I say or want. That is not how it happens. What happens is that when I have a definite idea and I truly embody that idea as already complete, I begin to attract the sources and means to complete it. This is not magic, although it seems like magic. It’s scientific.

Naysayers will argue and say all kinds of things that are contrary to this. These are called excuses and alibis. Someone will ask a question like “Well, why did this person die?” or “What about Hitler?” or “I’ve been thinking I’m going to win the lottery and it hasn’t happened yet…” Etc…Etc…Etc…

There is more to our existence that demonstrating things. There is more to life than death. We do not control anyone’s journey. We are something amazing. We are Spirit and we are eternal. We are always at choice. I believe this. I believe that life is eternal and the more I remember who I am, the more I understand eternity.

Lots is happening in the 3-D world that makes us lose faith in Good. We treat each other atrociously and there are people who only seek power over others. There is war, disease, poverty and all sorts of catastrophes. Does this mean that what I said previously is not true? What if, just what if, everything that is happening in the 3-D world was just the actions of wrong beliefs and wrong thought? What if we were to be for something opposite of all this? What if we were to spend our thought time and action time focused on the world we want to see instead of fighting against what we cannot control?

“If we lack, if we are poor, if we are without friends, if we are without opportunity, we should be sure to erase from our consciousness any sense of lack. We erase thought from consciousness by pouring in an opposite thought. This thought meets the other and neutralizes its effect. It rubs it out just as we rub a chalk mark off a board. We must maintain a consistent, positive, aggressive mental attitude in the Truth.” Ernest Holmes

No matter which we way we try to get around it, it is our responsibility to not fix what is wrong but to begin to live and think what is right. This is only about living in Love. It is about having conversations about how we can expand the world by putting our positive conversations into action. I believe there is a solution to every problem as soon as we stop thinking about it as a problem and instead live the life we have imagined.

“The only reason we are limited is that we have not allowed the Divine within us to more completely express.” Ernest Holmes

I am committed to allow the Divine Intelligence within me to more completely express and to awaken this Intelligence in each and every person I meet. I do this through being an example and through making myself available for positive conversation and strong loving action.

“Humanity’s Divine individuality compels Infinity to appear in our experience as duality because we have believed in duality.” Ernest Holmes

We are not separate from each other or from Source Energy. We are one and what we think and how we act affects everything and everyone. If we want a better world, we need to start with ourselves and “Mind our own business.” That business is how we use this Power called our Mind and how we then show up in the world.
