Greetings, Beloveds …
One of my favorite Holmes quotes comes from the “meditations” in the Science of Mind. Because this is a rather lengthy quote and worth every word and phrase, I have broken it into shorter paragraphs that fit with my contemplation following the quote.
The Spirit within me is God, that Spirit is perfect. That Spirit is divine, whole, happy, complete. Spirit of Infinite Peace is within me, and that Peace—poised in perfect life, complete in perfect happiness—that Spirit within me is God and is Whole. That Wholeness is perfect now.
God is an immediate Presence and an immediate Experience in my mind and soul, and I am conscious of this Perfect Presence, this Divine Wisdom, this Eternal Wholeness.
Now I recognize that the Principle of Life is in me and around me and operates through me; that It has no want, has no fear, has no doubt, has no limitation. There is that within me which guides me into opulence, into success, into harmony and love and beauty and friendship, and It does this in peace, in joy and in certainty.
I let that Divine within me—using whatever method It may—restore me to perfect health, perfect happiness and harmony and bring into my experience everything that is good, that is perfect, that is true and successful.
I am not only one with this Spirit, but this Spirit is all that I am. It is my whole being, and this Divine Wisdom is in my thought, causing me to act and move intelligently, to make right choices and to follow right pursuits. There are no problems in this Divine Wisdom.
Therefore, the road is made straight before me; every obstacle is removed and I am led—irresistibly led—to the Absolute, certain goal of Good, of accomplishment, of success.

I invite you to join me in contemplation of this powerful meditation …
Today and everyday henceforth, I remind myself that Spirit in me, is me… all of me. This is the Truth of what I am. No matter how far afield I (in my humanness) may wander, I cannot be separated from this wholeness, this perfection. It is always and ever at hand. It is mine to use. I have the power to choose whether I use it. I now declare that I remain awake and use it consciously all the time.
Because my life if an out-picturing of Principle of Life, I am guided “into opulence, into success, into harmony and love and beauty and friendship.” I enjoy this “in peace, in joy and in certainty.” I confidently let Spirit have Its way with me for I know only my greatest yet to be is ahead of me. I spend time in stillness musing how Spirit which is all that I am is causing me to be. In curious anticipation, I celebrate.
Joyously I release knowing “I am led—irresistibly led—to the Absolute, certain goal of Good, of accomplishment, of success.”
Enjoy!
In Oneness, Love and Peace.
Trish
