Healing Movements of Thought

Ernest Holmes wrote, “All is Love and yet all is Law.” We witness the vitality of the universe as it works in an orderly, lawful fashion. As Margaret Stortz assets, “It does so always. There is never a time when Universal Law goes off on Its own, takes a holiday and leaves the order of Law behind.”

In her article, “The Law Is Creative,” in the April 2021 issue of Science of Mind magazine, Stortz asks readers to consider “the effort it takes to think in new ways. Our patterned thinking likes to stay in place, and it always resists new approaches.”

If we take a new course, do an online search for new information, turn on the TV or check our smartphones, we are bombarded with new ideas requiring new mental energies. Stortz suggests examining new thinking processes by asking: Is this worthy of my time and energy?

“New thinking represents spontaneity,” she writes. “These times are when we let patterned thinking calm us and allow us to engage in guided, healing movements of thought.”

Stepping Into the Unknown

By Carol Shields

I am Spirit expressing love and connection as I dance the dance of inclusivity. With arms outstretched to all sentient beings, I bless every heart and open myself to greater sacred service, empathy and nurturing of others.

As I stay in step with the Divine, I move through my challenges and difficulties with grace and ease. I claim a deeper sense of serenity as I surrender and release myself to a state of full faith that Spirit inspires my healthy physical expression. …

I am grateful for the overflowing joy and gratitude expressing and emanating in my life in greater and greater ways as I open to the fullness of its expression. It is so good to feel the truth and power of this word and to release it into the spiritual law that governs all of life. With faith and expectancy, I let it be. And so It is.

—Excerpted from the monthly prayer for April 2021.

Fear and Forgiveness

By Ernest Holmes

Fear is the great enemy of man. It is impossible for a person to do his best if he is filled with anxiety. Unless we live without fear today, we will dread tomorrow. Those who live in the dread of tomorrow generally harbor memories of things that were unpleasant in their previous experience and expect that more of this unpleasantness will transpire in the future. The present day in which they live is robbed of all peace and joy. …

Yesterday is forever past. We cannot relive it. No matter how we may regret what happened yesterday, it is impossible actually to live it over again; but too often in imagination, we do live it over again and again, and in so doing bring all the misery of yesterday into today.

Learn to forget yesterday. After we have gone over it and learned by our mistakes, the thing to do is to correct those mistakes and forgive ourselves for anything we have done.
