This Thing Called Life; 25,1
....whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
Dr. Holmes states emphatically that when we take charge of our thoughts, we take charge of our destiny. Paul, in his letter to the church at Philippi, instructed the believers in what kinds of thoughts to entertain. As we read that list, we probably said (muttered?) to ourselves a "well, of course" comment. Fine and dandy, but later did we discover ourselves holding some thoughts that didn't line up to Paul's list? Ah, yes, the old habit reared its head and there we were, trotting down the path of "ain't it awful" or, worse, "ain't THEY awful". You may have noticed that I'm quite familiar about that habit. I've had LOTS of experience
One Mind, One Intelligence, One Perfection ? all attributes of the One God, which is not just the Source of our lives, but the LIFE that lives within each one of us, as us! What is the characteristics of God are our characteristics, because God, as the writer of the Gita claimed, entered into and became all things of Its creation. God lives within you and me!That being so, then we can know that we have use of the same creative power that God possesses. We can control our destiny to the degree that we control our thoughts, for the Creative Power obeys our thoughts. I now claim for each one of us the infinite ability to be aware of our thoughts, so we can then take charge of our lives. In that manner we can cause to be created a home, a city, a nation, a world that is preeminently joy, peace, love, harmony, and praise-worthy. What a privilege we have and we can use it to make our own lives happier, and then to bless everyone else so that they, by being exposed to the consciousness that we have accepted for ourselves, are drawn into the kind of existence that was planned for us from the beginning of time!I now command the Law to obey these thoughts and create the glorious results from them for all people in our world, in our galaxy, in our Universe. I am so thankful that the Law knows exactly how to do what I have claimed......so I accept that it is done. Now!
