November 11, 2026 – GREAT UNIVERSAL SPIRIT OF JUSTICE!
“I think the first duty of society is justice.”
― Alexander Hamilton.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!” Matthew 23:23-24.
“The remedy for all that appears unjust is denial of the condemnation of others, or of self, and affirmation of the great universal Spirit of justice, through which all unequal and unrighteous conditions are finally adjusted.” Christian Healing, Charles Fillmore, 125.
“Go up on the roof at night in this city of the soul. Let everyone climb on their roofs and sing their notes! Sing loud!” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al. 103.
“GOD Is infinite justice. Speak this. Think about it. Study it word by word. Pray for understanding of its real meaning. Then identify yourself with God. Claim your inseparable oneness with God. Declare that you, then, are infinite justice; the justice of God is your action in all ways.” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 174.
“When the idea of an immortal soul is replaced, our understanding of reincarnation gets closer to the truth. The idea of reincarnation is somehow still there, but our understanding is different. We see that there are only rapidly changing constituents.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ, 134.
“God is the Self of me, and therefore, it is my Self that is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient. It is not some self from thousands of years ago. It is not some self that is up in heaven. It is my Self, they Self, our Self, the one infinite, divine Self that is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, the Self of me.” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 129-130.
“It is like digging a well and drinking water. Though the river we tap be infinity itself, how much can we drink? A cupful? Two cupfuls? We can hold no more.” James Dillet Freeman, Prayer the Master Key, 126.
“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” Frederick Douglass.
“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 82:3-4.
November 4, 2026 – JUDGMENT IN THE ABSOLUTE!
“Be curious, not judgmental.” ― Walt Whitman
.
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” Matthew 7:1-3.
“The metaphysician finds it necessary to place his judgment in the Absolute in order to demonstrate its supreme power… Judgment from the plane of the personal leads into condemnation, and condemnation is always followed by the fixing of a penalty.” Christian Healing, Charles Fillmore, 121-122.
“God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing-pain. Remember the lips where the wind-breath originated, and let your note be clear. Don’ try to end it. Be your note. I’ll show you how it’s enough.” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al. 103.
“The student should never comment on error. He should, instead, go back of it all into the inner, clean light of reason and see all persons free from false judgments. He should fully realize that he is his brother’s keeper and must guard with sacred care every thought that goes out to his brother…” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 46.
“Not only is our body impermanent, but our so-called soul is also impermanent. It, too, is comprised only of elements like feelings, perceptions, mental states, and consciousness.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ, 133-134.
“In the beginning God sent Himself forth as our incorporeal, spiritual being. As His son, our name is Christ, but we identify ourselves by the name I.” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 129.
“No matter how long I pray, I rarely have a sense of contact with God for more that a few moments. Sometimes I think that we can stand contact with God only for moments — but that moment is enough to change us, it is enough to change the world.” James Dillet Freeman, Prayer the Master Key, 126.
“Judging a person does not define who they are… It defines who you are.” Anonymous.
“Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.” Romans 2:1.
Healing, Health & Wholeness are our focus for this year. Healing of our physical, mental, and emotional bodies, our relationships with others and ourselves, our families and friends, our finances; all areas of our individual and collective life and being are ripe for healing: to realize our health and wholeness, here and now!
Simply put: Wholeness is our natural state of being, one with God and one with all that is; Health is one of the ways it expresses through us when we are in balance with what is; Healing is the process whereby we return to our natural state when we are out of balance.
Christian Healing, by Charles Fillmore, will be our basic text for this year’s weekly prayer letters. First published in 1909, this book lays out a series of “…lessons. They are not merely to be read; they are to be studied and applied as one studies and applies mathematical rules.” (from the preface.)
For November we are sharing from Lesson 11: Judgment and Justice.
Our weekly prayer letters are exploring the principles discussed in each chapter and continue to provide related quotes from relevant writers and readings including from: How to Let God Help You, (from the writings of Myrtle Fillmore). Other regular resources include Bible quotes, The Essential Rumi, Thich Nhat Hanh, Joel Goldsmith and James Dillet Freeman.
Thank you for accompanying us on this journey of self-realization and discovery of our Divine potential!
Please affirm with us: “God the Good is my Judgment; the Great Universal Spirit of Justice is active in my life and affairs!”
Thank you God, thank you God, thank you God!
For so it is and so it shall be, Amen!
October 28, 2026 – TRUE SELF-CONTROL!
“By constant self-discipline and self-control you can develop greatness of character.” ― Grenville Kleiser
.
“Hence I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1: 6-7.
“In the true self-control, the will and the understanding both play a part. The feelings and appetites and passions must be disciplined. They are not merely to be held in check by the will, but they are to be lifted up and developed through the Christ MInd.” Christian Healing, Charles Fillmore, 115.
“Advice doesn’t help lovers! They’re not the kind of mountain stream you can build a dam across. An intellectual doesn’t know what the drunk is feeling! Don’t try to figure what those lost inside love will do next!” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al. 102.
“All true followers of Christ Jesus find that they must continually discipline their thinking and bring it in line with the Truth.” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 73.
“The Buddha taught that a so-called ‘person’ is really just five elements (skandhas) that come together for a limited period of time: our body, feelings, perceptions, mental states, and consciousness. These five elements are, in fact, changing all the time. Not a single element remains the same for two consecutive moments,’” Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ, 133.
“The person who is very righteous also has a hard time getting in heaven because the self-righteousness of human good bolsters the ego…Christhood is reached when we have gone beyond good humanhood, happy human hood, righteous humanhood, or wealthy human hood, pierced the veil and beheld our true identity,” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 129.
“God is never there without leaving His mark. Perhaps it is a word. Perhaps it is an idea. Perhaps it is a quickened spirit. Perhaps it is a poem. Perhaps it is a renewed life. Perhaps it is an answered prayer.” James Dillet Freeman, Prayer the Master Key, 126.
“Personal health is related to self-control and to the worship of life in all its natural beauty – self-control bringing with it happiness, renewed youth, and long life.” Maria Montessori.
“A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” Proverbs 25:28.
October 21, 2026 – GOD IS THE ONE PRINCIPLE!
“Principles have no real force except when one is well-fed.”― Mark Twain.
“For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need some one to teach you again the first principles of God’s word.” Hebrews 5:12.
“God is the one principle; we are all as free to use God as we are free to use the principles of mathematics or of music. The principle never interferes, but if it is to be rightly applied we must develop understanding.” Christian Healing, Charles Fillmore, 112.
“You live where Shams (a poet) lives, because your heart-donkey was strong enough to take your there.” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al. 102.
“Through your study, understanding, and practice of Truth principles you are finding how to awaken, develop, and set free into righteous expression all of these inner spiritual resources.” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 18.
“In popular Buddhism, reincarnation is accepted literally, without much examination, but as we continue to study and practice, the idea of an immortal soul gives way to another idea that is closer to reality. If we study the teachings of the Buddha and if we observe our own mind, we will find there is nothing permanent within the constituents of what we call our ‘self’” Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ, 133.
“The moment a person is satisfied with himself, with his demonstration, supply, or companionship, he has lost the opportunity of attaining heaven. Only in dissatisfaction with humanhood, even when it is good, do we go higher.” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 128.
“When God is there, something changes. Either we change or conditions change. A light comes on. Power is conveyed. Beauty rushes forth. Joy bursts into bring.” James Dillet Freeman, Prayer the Master Key, 126.
“God is love, and His law is love. Its two great principles are love to God and love to man.” Ellen G. White.
“But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” Jeremiah 31:33.
October 14, 2026 – SUPERIOR EXECUTIVE CAPACITY!
“What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.” ― Leo Buscaglia
.
“I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.” John 5:30.
“When man links his will with the principle of divine force he has superior executive capacity. He swiftly brings forth faculties that, under the slow action of human personality, would take ages to develop.” Christian Healing, Charles Fillmore, 111-112.
“You sweep the floor like the man who keeps the doorway. When you brush a form clean, it becomes what it truly is.” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al. 102.
“The teaching should be that there is a loving Helper who answers our prayers, an ever-ready Provider for all our needs. Gradually the teaching can lead the child more and more to understand that every good thing comes from the Father, but always faith and willingness to receive are the conditions under which our prayers are brought into visible answer.” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 183.
“Devotional practice relies more on the other, but there is also self-effort. Transformational practice relies on the self, but a community and a teacher are also necessary, Mindfulness and the Holy Spirit are at the heart of both.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ, 130.
“If we are wise, we will never call our humanhood the Christ, nor try to make our humanhood spiritual. There is therefore, no reason to bemoan the fact that we are not humanly perfect while we are on this Path seeking our true identity.” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 128.
“It is not through my power that prayer is answered but through God’s. The power of God flows through me. The power of God uses me. I am only needed to make contact. But God — life — cannot use me without changing me.” James Dillet Freeman, Prayer the Master Key, 125-126.
“Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it.” Pauline Kael.
“And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you;” 1 Chronicles 28:9.
October 7, 2026 – GOD-MIND!
“Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great.”
― Niccolo Machiavelli.
“Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly, not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock.” 1 Peter 5:2.
“Man manifests that which exists eternally in Being. We talk about the faculties of man’s mind as if they belonged to the individual and had origin in him. Man exists in the one invisible Mind. He may assume to have a mind of his own but his origin and destiny are in God-Mind.” Christian Healing, Charles Fillmore, 107.
“Light the lamp in the eye of Joseph. Cure Jacob’s sadness. Though you never left, come and sit down here and ask, ‘Why are you so confused?’ Like a fresh idea in an artist’s mind, you fashion things before they come into being.” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al. 102.
“Do not be concerned if you do not always get from your study and your prayers the results that your senses take cognizance of. Your spiritual awakening is the important thing. It will increase your consciousness of your unity with God Mind and will give you greater freedom of expression through the various centers of consciousness in your body.” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 10.
“Devotional practice relies more on the other, but there is also self-effort. Transformational practice relies on the self, but a community and a teacher are also necessary, Mindfulness and the Holy Spirit are at the heart of both.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ, 130.
“If we are wise, we will never call our humanhood the Christ, nor try to make our humanhood spiritual. There is therefore, no reason to bemoan the fact that we are not humanly perfect while we are on this Path seeking our true identity.” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 128.
“It is not through my power that prayer is answered but through God’s. The power of God flows through me. The power of God uses me. I am only needed to make contact. But God — life — cannot use me without changing me.” James Dillet Freeman, Prayer the Master Key, 125-126.
“The willingness and ability to live fully in the now eludes many people. While eating your appetizer, don’t be concerned with dessert.” Wayne Dyer.

Healing, Health & Wholeness are our focus for this year. Healing of our physical, mental, and emotional bodies, our relationships with others and ourselves, our families and friends, our finances; all areas of our individual and collective life and being are ripe for healing: to realize our health and wholeness, here and now!
