What is Success?

th-5“The idea of “success,” for most people, revolves around money or the acquisition of property or other possessions, but we consider a state of joy as the greatest achievement of success. And while the attainment of money and wonderful possessions certainly can enhance your state of joy, the achievement of a good-feeling physical body is by far the greatest factor for maintaining a continuing state of joy and Well-Being. And so, there are few things of greater value than the achievement of a good-feeling body.”    —Abraham                                                                                                Excerpted from: Money and the Law of Attraction on August 31, 2008

 

I Am Entitled to Miracles

th-23“Tell yourself often today, “I am entitled to miracles.”  Ask for them whenever a situation arises in which they are called for.  You will recognize these situations.  And since you are not relying on yourself to find the miracle, you are fully entitled to receive it whenever you ask.  Say to yourself, “God has established miracles as my right.”  Course in Miracles, Workbook Lesson 77.

We are Spiritual Beings

MH-Quotes-Humans-Having-Spiritual-Experience“Our condition is that of a soul, not a body; a being whose life is eternal, not limited to a lifespan.  Our concerns are about living the life we wish to live as souls during this time on Earth. Success for us is gauged not by a full stomach, a secure job or any other physical measure.  Our success is gauged in how well we keep our hearts open and how willing we are to choose to act in a way that reflects our desire to serve the Creator and to serve our fellow beings with unconditional love.”                               “Living the Law of One” by Carla L. Rueckert, p.276.

Faith

8a41f0c0a86bad56c7845fa21dd9a51a“A mustard seed is about a millimeter in size.  Jesus described it as the smallest of all seeds.  When sown, it becomes a plant as large as some trees in about three to five years.  Its faith, then is the pattern of the mature plant which is encoded genetically into the seed.

Our bodies’ faith is the pattern of the mature person which is encoded genetically in the sperm and egg. We take the functioning of our bodies for granted.  We do not know how to make our hearts beat.  We have no conscious  awareness of how to breathe.  The billions of chemical reactions and responses that create our continued life and health are almost entirely unknown to our conscious minds. And yet, here we are, living our lives in perfect faith that our hearts and lungs and all the rest of our amazingly intricate body systems are working.

It is logical, then, to trust that the non-physical parts of us–our minds, emotions, energy bodies and spirits–are also functioning well.  These characteristics, too, are implicit in the seed that grew to be each of us.  Our intellects and our wills are good and useful parts of our natures.  Our soul essences, contained within our energy bodies, are excellent as the rest of our design.                               “Living the Law of One” by Carla L. Rueckert, p. 275.
