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 […]

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 […]

Infinite Possibilities

“With man this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible.” I wrote this quote in the first blog of my book “What Do I Need to KNOW?” with this: “When I set about to do something and my finite mind says it is impossible, it is impossible. However, when I know with the […]

The Glass Ceiling

As I meditated this morning, I was influenced by today’s Science of Mind reading on page 286 about the four people who went to a Practitioner for treatment for a job. Each person had a certain salary consciousness and when they demonstrated their individual jobs, they received exactly that amount of salary. It made me […]

On page 284 of the Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes discusses Faith. He writes, “Faith is real to the one who experiences it and cannot be denied to the mind of the one who has proven it. …Faith will not be denied, will not take no for an answer. It speaks an affirmative language. Faith […]

How to Fix a Problem

Ernest Holmes wrote, “If one does not know exactly what he wishes to do, he should treat himself for general success in whatever he attempts to do. He must treat himself for guidance into the knowledge of that which would be best for him to do, remembering that the Inner Mind knows infinitely more than […]

Only Big Ideas Allowed

“The Declaration of Principles” of the Science of Mind states. “We believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause. This One manifests Itself in and through all creation, but is not absorbed by Its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome […]

Allowing = Freedom

I do my best to practice the Law of Allowing. The only control we have in life is our own reaction to whatever is occurring. The control we think we have over another person is purely a figment of our imagination, for that control is only that which the other person has allowed. We have […]
