Goodness – Affirmative Prayer

I recognize that there is one life. That life is God’s life. And that life is my life now. I recognize that I am that life. I am life itself. And life is good. Therefore, I am good, and all my life experience is good. I see good in everything, and everything I see is good! God in me sees good in all, because all is from God, and God is only good. Therefore, Good is all I can ever see. I am good, because God as me is good, now and always, Therefore, I, the good, see good in my world, because my world, also of God, is only good! I am grateful for the good that is me, the good that is God, the good that is my life itself, the good that is each thing in my life, the good that is my every life experience! I give thanks for the ability to feel grateful and blessed with good things! I know that Good, and God is all there is. This I know, this I vibrate, and this I attract. I believe it is so! And so it is!

Letter from the Spirit of Truth

Dearest You,

I am the voice of the season. I am the Spirit of every season. I am within everything, and everything is within me.

I am within you. Who am I? Who are you? We are the Christ consciousness. We are a state of truth, love, peace, faith and knowing. I am that highest vibration. And your true nature is the same.

If at times you don’t feel lifted up, ask! Ask me, within you always, to lift you to this place of truth. You will be there, even as you ask. For this is the Kingdom. The Kingdom within you always.

Do not search outside yourself for upliftment. There may be tools – groups, others, things, activities – that amplify your good feelings. These are created in the image of truth, as you are. But without these tools, you are the same! You are truth, even without ministers, teachers, groups, friends, family, presents, food and more. You are truth – now and forever!

Seek the truth already within you. Your being is peace, love, hope, joy, faith. All the gifts of the season are yours right now.

Ask Me, ask the Christ, to lift you to where you can know and feel these gifts. And all these things and more will be added unto you!

You are love, as I am. You are light, as I am. You are life itself, as I am. And as you believe, so you receive. As you believe and feel the truth, it becomes visible in your life on Earth.

Ask! Write a letter to the Christ in You, and it will be answered!

Bless’d be!

Throat full of Song: Communication Prayer

This is a stream of consciousness piece. Notice how it starts focusing on what I don’t want – a tight throat and the inability to speak. A feeling that I can’t speak because what will others think?

Then, it moves into what I do want – a clear throat.

Finally, the flow moves to how it feels to be free, able to speak, and connect with others.

This is affirmative prayer. It must start somewhere, and the only place to start is where we are. Here, it starts with pain that is physical, but over all, emotional. But as long as we move from that consciousness of pain and victimhood, it’s all good!

May this prayer facilitate your own shift in consciousness, whether about the words you speak, or anything else.

Metaphysical Communication Affirmative Prayer

What can I say about words? I can’t, because I have no words to say. SO how can I say anything? Or how can I say something? What I mean is, how can I speak, how can I bring myself to speak? I don’t even know what it is I need to say. What would be healthy? What would serve my highest good?

And when I figure it out, how can I say it? I feel so tight. So closed. But at the same time, I know I need to speak. Well, I know I need to speak because if I don’t, this tight feeling will stick around. And I don’t want that.

What I want is a free-feeling throat, open, a vessel of cummunication. An empty vessel, through which all things flow that are good, true, and so on. I listen with this free and clear throat center, and I speak from it. Free and clear, open and honest, firm and gentle. Not worrying, not wondering what others will think if I speak or if I don’t.

My throat is open; with love, I affirm this now. And as far as finding out what to speak, that comes from intuition, from the great power within. All beauty, light, love, peace and joy come from this powerful source. And I affirm now, in perfect peace, that that source, is my source. I accept and receive all that is good from source, that is only good.

My words flow effortlessly. I listen effortlessly. I love unconditionally, and I enjoy life. All communication flows unimpeded through me, and I revel in gratitude as I connect with myself and others. And so it is!

Play Without Ceasing – Unity World Day of Prayer

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Pray without ceasing.” But what is prayer? Taking what may seem like a bold leap, I’m asking you to consider that prayer is play.

So what is play? Children know this better than most, but if you ask them what it is, they can’t describe it in words. That’s because play is a state of mind, a state of being. Play is fun, carefree, joyful, happy, imaginative… In short, anything is possible in play.

Anything is possible in prayer, too. And traditional religions (Christianity in particular) aren’t the only ones teaching this.

“The world is your oyster.” –Shakespeare

“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.” –Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Anything the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.” –Napoleon Hill

“It sounds counter-intuitive but the more you give, the more you will receive.” –Dr. Joe Vitale

“All things are possible when you claim your Goddess-self. Imagine you are a Goddess, Now, be the Goddess you imagine.” –Abby Willowroot (1997)

The key is in Abby Willowroot’s quote: “Be the Goddess you imagine!” Call it Goddess, Universe, Source, Spirit… Call it whatever you can relate to. But first imagine it. Then, be it.

When children play, they convince themselves that they are super heros, princesses, firefighters, unicorns, and all mmanner of seen and unseen things. They imagine so vividly that they become their play.

We need to imagine being who, what, where and how we want to be, ideally. We must imagine it so vividly and persistently that we can’t help but become it.

This is not work. It’s play at its finest!

So the play-prayer connection? Prayer is not work. It’s a recognition of, and identification with the universal truth that all things are possible, for you, right now, and they’re happening now, for you. This is why we use affirmative prayer in Metaphysics – because begging doesn’t feel good, and being positive feels great. 🙂

You may need lots of prayer treatments, at least once a day for many days. The truth is, you can “be there” in one treatment, no problem. However, consistently treating/praying helps convince your logical, human mind that what you are praying is so now.

Keep your thoughts, words and actions elevated. Act as if you’re already where, who, and what you want to be. Because every thought, word and deed is a prayer. This is why I say play without ceasing. The more fun you have, the better you feel more of the time, the better your life looks and feels to you.

Play without ceasing… Starting now!

Prayer of Faith – Metaphysical Talk

This is a recording of my talk on August 26, 2012, at Unity of Reading. Below are companion readings.

From the book Teach us to Pray

by Charles Fillmore

from “Healing Through the Prayer of Faith”

The prayer of faith is not supplication, a begging God to give things to man. Prayer at its highest is the entry of the ego through faith into a realm of mind forces that when rightly contacted change the character of every cell in brain and body. One who has mastered even the primary technique of prayer has made contact with the spiritual ethers that connect all minds, high and low, and by means of which great reforms for the good of man can be projected into the world’s thought ether.

When Jesus prayed, sometimes the whole night long, He did not plead with God over and over to do what He asked. Through positive faith Jesus was laying hold of new ideas, which through His spiritual understanding He incorporated into His consciousness, which included both soul and body. Through this mental process He became a living demonstration of spiritual man.

Today Jesus Christ is our helper and teacher. Every man when he prays should recognize and take advantage of this truth. He can profit much by realizing that the same Spirit is in him that was in Jesus, who became the Christ. Paul wrote, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”

Jesus is teaching us today that to pray effectively we must believe and know that there is a dispenser of the thing asked for and that by reaching out in prayer we can receive it from the one great source. This is truly the prayer of faith. “All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

The Prayer of Faith

God is my help in every need;
God does my every hunger feed;
God walks beside me, guides my way
Through every moment of the day.

I now am wise, I now am true,
Patient, kind, and loving, too;
All things I am, can do, and be,
Through Christ the Truth, that is in me.

God is my health, I can’t be sick;
God is my strength, unfailing, quick;
God is my all, I know no fear,
Since God and Love and Truth are here
–Hannah More Kohaus

Divine Guidance Positive Prayer Poem

Use this positive, effective prayer when you desire guidance of any kind.

Though all guidance comes from within yourself, your mind, feelings and circumstances can block you from hearing the truth you already know.

Prayers, affirmations, poems and meditations like this all-in-one help get past the surface, down deep to the truth. This highest truth will never fail you, never lead you astray, and is always within you.

All you need to do is ask, then listen for the answer. It may come as a feeling, imagined words, images, someone physically saying something to you throughout your day, or in any number of ways. It doesn’t need to be a lightning bolt… Just be open to the guidance you asked for, and unattached to how you receive it.

Prayer for Divine Guidance

You, the knower of all things,
Source and substance, guiding star,
I unite my mind with you;
I am wisdom as you are.

Quietly I listen now,
Hearing in me perfect truth.
I receive the word I seek,
Thinking now at one with you.

When to speak and what to say,
All of this I clearly see.
Where to go along my way,
Everything is here in me.

Lovingly I now release
All confusion, fear and doubt.
They are gone and I’m at peace,
Knowing what to carry out.

Thank you, bless-ed voice of all,
Loving, knowing, guiding light,
Flowing like a waterfall,
Never ending, day or night.

I have asked and I receive
That which I have sought to know.
I release this into law,
Where it manifests and flows.
Amen.

Prosperity Song

In Metaphysical Science, Unity, Religious Science and New Thought, we “pray for” what we want, as if we already have it.

This practice of affirmative prayer – affirming, confirming and already having – is called spiritual mind treatment, scientific prayer and positive prayer. No matter what you call it, the prayer method is similar throughout the paths listed above.

In a future post I’ll describe the steps of affirmative prayer. For now, realize that the following prosperity song includes all of them.

I offer you this as a prayer, a meditation, and something to focus on. Ponder this until you believe it is so. Only when you believe you are prosperous, will you appear prosperous in the world – with more than enough money, happiness, time and love to be fulfilled.

Whatever you do, affirm prosperity, rather than begging for money! Sometimes it isn’t really money you need. And even when money is needed, begging for it attracts… more feelings of lack and having to beg.

And if you believe somewhere within yourself that having money is not spiritual, that poverty is a virtue, then meditate on removing that belief first. Would Spirit, God, Universe, Life itself create you to be poor?

No! Because if You are poor, then Life is poor too. And poor things – beings that lack something – cannot survive. Life does not create itself, to sabotage and destroy itself. Therefore, you must be prosperous: Prosperity is your divine right!

If this is the only thing you realize from my sharing here, it will change your entire consciousness, and through it, your entire life experience.

Prosperity – Lyrics

Instrument: Soprano Flea ukulele

1. I know your omnipresence
Transforms all seeming lack.
My Spirit is of plenty,
And plenty I attract.

2. Prosperity and blessings
Are flowing clear and free.
The Spirit of abundance
Fulfills my every need.

3. I speak the word of wisdom,
And now the law receives
And manifests directly
My great prosperity.

4. I thank your omnipresence,
Transforming every lack.
My spirit is of plenty,
And plenty I attract.

The Good Place – Meditation Affirmation Poem

There is a place
where the light is so bright
but where no one’s eyes hurt
where no one cringes
where no one turns away

There is a place
where the peace is so deep
that not a ripple disturbs it
except the ripple of joy
the ripple of laughter
the ripple of love
the ripple of life abundant

There is a place
where only good lives
it comes to stay
it flows
it is given
and received
all at once

There is a place
where posession is no object
where everyone has everything
and everyone owns nothing
because ownership is not needed
everything is Spirit
so why would we, and how could we own it?
Yet how could we not?

There is a place
where good is always good enough
and now
I choose to live in that place
forevermore!

Come in with me,
you are so welcome,
here
in the good place!

Two poems and a harp meditation to affirm the truth and see love in everything. Recite “Namaste” silently or aloud, to anything or anyone troubling you, and you will see love instead of negativity.

Prayer to the Subconscious

You know my thoughts, and you obey.
My word sets you upon your way.
Because you always carry out
Intentions from my thoughts and mouth,
I choose to plant the perfect truth
Within the fertile law of you.
–And so it is!

You prosper by this Namaste!
