Happy Holy Days

I believe in Christ, the man and the god, that dwells within in us all, but I don't believe in hate, though hate is easy to be found...

Sometimes it is harder to find the love, it takes a little bit more work to see the love that surrounds us, that love is really the only thing that makes life worth living.

Sometimes, if we are alone, it is easy to think that there is no love, but that is only a filter which one can, with practice, take off.

To experience love, we must first give love, for when you practice what you want, it will find its way to you.

So I wish for you, my readers and the others in my life, a life full of the practice of giving love, so that it may find you.

What is Prayer?

To Religious Scientists, Prayer or what we like to call Spiritual Mind Treatments, is the conscious alignment or affirmation of yourself with the Truth that is beyond this experience and is the truth about yourself in God's Mind.

We like to do this in five steps, the First we call Recognition; in this step we recognize the Attributes of God, the One Mind, the One Spirit that is in all things.

the second we call Unification, this is where we align ourselves with the One Presence.

The third step we call, Realization; this is where we restate our True thoughts about ourselves, in our experience we sometimes get focused on what seems to be true about us, i.e. not enough money, in the step realization, we focus on what is the truth, that we already have all these things, that they already are ours

the fourth Step we call Thanksgiving or Celebration, this is where we express our thanks for this desire, being already present in our lives

And the Fifth Step is called Release this is where we release our word into the perfect Action of Law (not God's love or the universe)
