Thou art the center and circumference of my life,
The beginningless and endless part of me,
The eternal reality of me,
The everlasting power within me,
The eternal good working through me,
The infinite love impelling me,
The limitless peace and calm within me,
The joy of the soul and the light of the spirit illumining me.
O Lord God,
Eternal and forever blessed,
Thou art my whole being.
Let us then approach the science of mind,
The science of spiritual psychology with awe,
But not with fear,
With truly a humble thought,
But not with a sense that we are unworthy.
Let us approach it normally,
Happily,
Willing to accept,
Glad to experiment,
Hoping and believing that as the result of our efforts,
We shall each derive a great good,
A sound understanding of the natural laws of life as they apply to the individual and his relationship to the whole universal scheme of things.
And so it is.
God is not in the mountain nor even in the temple,
Holy as it may be.
God is within me now,
Today,
This very moment in this breath I draw in the eternal now and the everlasting here.
And if you will take time daily to sense the presence of life within you,
To believe in it,
To accept it,
It will not be long before the life which you have known will gradually disappear and something new will be born,
A bigger,
Better and more perfect you.
You will pass from death into life,
From lack and want into greater freedom,
From fear and to faith.
From a sense of being alone,
You will pass into a realization of oneness with everything and you will rejoice in this oneness.
You belong to the universe in which you live.
You are one with the creative genius back of this vast array of ceaseless motion,
This original flow of life.
You are as much a part of it as the sun,
The earth,
The air.
There is something in you telling you this,
Like a voice echoing from some mountaintop of inward vision,
Like a light whose origin no man has seen,
Like an impulse welling up from an invisible source.
All things are possible to God provided they remain true to the nature of God and that which is untrue to the nature of God has no existence.
There is no division between the big and the little.
Nothing is an outcast in the kingdom of good.
There is a power in us right now if we could unshackle it,
Which is the same power that swings the planets in their space and holds them there.
