The Golden Key – Emmet Fox

“Scientific prayer will enable you to get yourself, or anyone else, out of any difficulty.  It is the golden key to harmony and happiness.

This is because in scientific prayer it is God who works, and not you, and so your particular limitations or weaknesses are of no account in the process.  You are only the channel through which the divine action takes place, and your treatment will be just the getting of yourself out of the way.

All you have to do is this: Stop thinking about the difficulty, whatever it is, and think about God instead.  This is the complete rule, and if only you will do this, the trouble, whatever it is, will disappear. Whatever trouble it is, stop thinking about it and think of God instead — that is all you have to do.

Your object is to drive the thought of the difficulty out of your consciousness, for a few moments at least, substituting for it the thought of God. This is the crux of the whole thing.  If you can become so absorbed in this consideration of the spiritual world that you forget for a while about the difficulty, you will find that you are safely and comfortably out of your difficulty — that your demonstration is made.

We have said that the golden key is simple, and so it is, but of course it is no always easy to turn.  If you are very frightened or worried, at first it may be difficult to get your thoughts away from material things.  But by constantly repeating a statement of absolute Truth, such as: “There is no power but God; I AM the child of God, filled and surrounded by the perfect peace of God: God is love: God is guiding me now; or, perhaps best and simplest of all, God is with me” –however mechanical or trite it may seem– you will soon find that the treatment has begun to “”take” and that your mind is clearing.  Do not struggle violently; be quiet, but insistent.  Each time you find your attention wandering, switch it back to God.

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”          Acts 2:21

Peace Will Be With You

“I can do all things through Him that strengthens me.

And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Finally, beloved, whatsoever is true, whatsoever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.  Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

Let your gentleness be known to everyone.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

We do not lose heart.  Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day.  For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.”

Philippians 4:8,9,13,19; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, 5:7.

 

We Create Our Own Reality

Up until recently, the collective consciousness of man has believed that the creation process was outside of themselves, not within. Even though Yeshua told those that were gathered with him… “The kingdom of heaven is within.” Many did not believe it nor understand it. But those of you now are beginning to more and more fully understand just what that meant, what He meant by that, “the kingdom of heaven is within.”

Seth, channeled in the ’70s by Jane Roberts said, “You live from the inside out.  Your physical senses perceive a reality that is the result of your beliefs.” P. 175, Seth Speaks.

“Events are organized according to laws that involve love, belief, intent, and the intensities with which these are entertained.  Certainly for more than the hundredth time I say, ‘Your beliefs form your reality,’ and this means that your beliefs structure the events you know.  Basically, the inner reality is the creative source of the physical one.”  Session 792, The Nature of the Psyche.

 

Holiness – Excerpt From A Course In Miracles

“All separation vanishes as holiness is shared.  For holiness is power, and by sharing it, it gains in strength.  If you seek for satisfaction in gratifying your needs as you perceive them, you must believe that strength comes from another and what you gain, he loses. Someone must always lose if you perceive yourself as weak. Yet there is another interpretation of relationships that transcends the concept of loss of power completely.

You do not find it difficult to believe that when another calls on God for love, your call remains as strong.  Nor do you think think when God answers him, your hope of answer is diminished.  On the contrary, you are more inclined to regard his success as witness to the possibility of yours. That is because you recognize, however dimly, that God is an idea.  And like Him, you can give yourself completely, wholly without loss and only with gain.  Herein lies peace, for here there is no conflict.

The holy instant thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in your mind, experiencing not loss but completion.  From this it follows you can only give.  And this is love, for this alone is natural under the laws of God.  In the holy instant the laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning.  The laws of this world cease to hold any meaning at all.”

A Course In Miracles, p. 315, 3 – 5.
