Freedom is a State of Mind!

There is a song from the musical Shenandoah called “Freedom.” The message of the song is simply: there is no place or person that will give us freedom until we feel free mentally. “Freedom is a state of mind.” This song perfectly articulates what we teach in the Science of Mind and Spirit. We are […]

Stretching Your Mind Takes Practice

“The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. This quote by Emerson is not unfamiliar to those of us in the metaphysical world. I believe other great thinkers such as Einstein and Oliver Wendall Holmes have their own version of this idea. The question I have […]

Is Looking for the Good Spiritually By-Passing?

The Universe is harmonious. Perhaps, sometimes it seems like this is not true. However, if the Universe was not harmonious we would not survive for one moment. It is only when we act in disharmony with the Universe and each other (which is one thing), that we have imbalance or disharmony. So, it comes down […]

Is Your life Corresponding?

Ernest Holmes wrote, “The limit of our ability to demonstrate depends upon our ability to provide a mental equivalent of our desire, for the Law of Correspondence works from the belief to the thing. But, it is within our power to provide a greater mental equivalent through the unfolding of consciousness, and this growth from […]

What’s Your Excuse?

I ask myself this morning, “What’s Your excuse, Rita?” What’s your excuse for not being totally abundant? What’s your excuse for not being totally loving? What’s your excuse for anything less than the perfect life? The only answer I can come up with is, “There is no excuse.” I don’t need to be excused or […]

Not Some power…ALL POWER!

“We are not depending on a reed shaken by the wind, but on the Principle of Life Itself, for all that we have or ever shall need. It is not some power or a great power. It is ALL POWER. All we have to do is believe, never wavering, no matter what happens. As we […]

Keep It Simple

In the Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes it states: “We mean by demonstration, bringing into our experience something we had not experienced before, bringing it in as the result of conscious thought, and unless it is possible to do this, our whole science is a mistake and a delusion. …But there is a Divine […]

What Do I Want?

I ask myself this question every day because I want to make sure I am living in my true potential. What Do I Want? is not an easy question to answer. It takes guts. It takes honesty. I takes the willingness to hear the answer. I dare you to ask this question today and hear […]

And So It Happened…

I don’t believe in a happenstance Universe, nor do I believe in blaming the outside world for anything that happens to me. Everything happens through me and there is a reason for everything, even though I might not know it at the time. Yesterday, I flew from Lihue to New Mexico. It was a long […]

No Room In the Overhead Bin

I’m flying today. I just landed in LAX and am on my way to New Mexico. I usually don’t use the overhead bin, but today it is on my mind. In fact, I couldn’t believe how much luggage was onboard. I was waiting to deplane and the people in front of me seemed to take […]
