Thomas Troward, one of the most influential New Thought influences on our founder, Dr. Ernest Holmes, wrote that we should not restrict our expectations of the future, because the Creative Principle of Mind is not limited by anything that has gone before. In other words, when you hear yourself saying silently in your mind “I’ve already tried that,” or “I’ve never been able to before,” try to interrupt yourself. Boldly announce the maxim “Principle is not bound by Precedent” as a way of reminding yourself that to the Power that creates all, newness is natural! Another way of stating it is that the past is not always the best guide for present action.
This week, watch your thinking when it comes to the way things have always been, to see if you have fallen into accepting a fate dictated by other people’s past actions and choices. Also, watch for where you have accepted the voice of authority without question, and ask yourself, “What if it isn’t so?”
"This wonderful book guides any individual to understand Science of Mind with ease and grace. It is a simple and beautiful presentation of the Spiritual Principles Science of Mind teaches. I highly recommend this book to students, licensed Practitioners and ministers. Blessings to Rev Edward." ~ Johan Gonzalez RScP. Science of Mind and Spirit for Beginners: Four Chapters in Simplified Prose, paraphrased by Edward VIljoen

Practice The Presence Journal
Journaling offers a powerful way to record your spiritual growth. Writing in a journal calls on you to be more conscious of the insights that occur daily in your life. It gives you an opportunity to examine your beliefs and be mindful of your choices.
Seeing Good At Work
I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
