There is
Only one life, One Spirit, One Divine Order, which is Complete & Whole.
I am one with that Divine Order, One with that Divine Completeness, and I am whole.
I accept and allow that wholeness to be my realization of who I am, that this wholeness, completeness and acceptance is my life now, That this completeness is the truth of my being. I accept that what is done in the past does not define who we are for all time, that the truth of our being is always true.
I am grateful and full of thanks that this is so, I am grateful for the love of these others in my class who are also speaking the truth of my being.
I now release my word into the law of action and so it is.

Thursday Evening - Wk 3
Meditation - Chanting
This week we chanted something in a different language - what follows are my thoughts
When I know the words, I can really get into the emotions of what I am chanting about - When I know the words yet don't know the meaning (foreign languages) Then I am able to get into a rhythm which I call the heartbeat of the universe or God. When I find difficulty with the words, I find myself concentrating on trying to say the words (and I get frustrated). I usually enjoy chanting - this one I found difficult, but I could find comfort in this one given time.

One Mind
God is all there is, there is no situation where God is not, for God is all there is. God is the infinite love that is never judging and all accepting.
I am one with this infinite love that God is, I am one with the complete love, understanding and acceptance that is the mind of God, and I dwell in this Presence, always and forever, and this is also true of Allan. Allan is one with the infinite love of God and loves and accepts all things as expressions of God.
I speak my word for the truth of Allan’s being, that he is one with the all loving Mind and Spirit that is God. That he is dwells in the essence of this love and looks at all expressions of God Recognizing them as God, and so embraces the god within them.
I give thanks for this awareness of the truth of Allan’s being, his understanding, unending love and acceptance of all of Gods expressions.
I now release this word into the perfect action of the law, knowing that as it is spoken, so it is.
