Winter 2025

February 5, 2025: “BEING AS GOD!”

“If you can’t see God in all, you can’t see God at all.” —Yogi Bhajan.

“Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.” Psalm 51:6.

“The author of Genesis was evidently a great metaphysician. He described Being as God, Jehovah God, and Adam. We would express the same idea as Mind, idea, and manifestation.” Talks on Truth, Charles Fillmore, 14.

“You’re sitting here with us, but you’re also out walking in a field at dawn. You are yourself the animal we hunt when you come with us on the hunt. You’re in your body like a plant is solid in the ground, yet you’re the wind. You’re the diver’s clothes lying empty on the beach. You’re the fish.” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al., 51.

“AS YOU STUDY, you will learn that your mind receives from two sources: the universal Mind of Being, which has its outlet through your consciousness, and the intellectual activities of the individual minds about you, which have both conscious and subconscious phases of expression.” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 50.

“If while we practice we are not aware that the world is suffering, that children are dying of hunger, that social injustice is going on everywhere, we are not practicing mindfulness. We are just trying to escape.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ, 82.

“The years of your study should have emptied out your old state of consciousness and built a new one made up of the word of God. This word of God which constitutes your new born consciousness is life and truth and love to all who enter.” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 98.

“You do not pray to change God. How would you change Him? God is good. He is your good. Would you pray that he become something other than that?” James Dillet Freeman, Prayer the Master Key, 100.

“They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming.” ― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

“Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” 1 Corinthians 15:45.

THRIVE IN ’25!

For 2025 our theme is: “Thrive!” According to Webster; to thrive is “1: to grow vigorously : flourish 2: to gain in wealth or possessions : prosper 3: to progress toward or realize a goal despite or because of circumstances —often used with on, “thrives on conflict.”

As the wholly perfect sinless child of God (Christ) that we are, we are meant not merely to survive, but to thrive. The only things holding us back are our own limiting thoughts and feelings of inadequacy and separation. To which, the Apostle Paul said, “I die every day!” 1 Corinthians 15:31. Each day we have the opportunity to release what was for what can be; we open the door to a new level of understanding and expression of the divine potential within. We are reborn as we are renewed in mind. “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2.

Our weekly Prayer Circle letters this year will follow the book ‘Talks on Truth’ by Unity co-founder, Charles Fillmore. “Mind is the only causative power. By the power of the Word, it makes and unmakes all laws governing in personal life. The I AM floats in mind and formulates the words that set mind in motion.” (pg. 82.) When we change our minds, we change our lives. When our consciousness opens up to new awareness’s of being we are ‘born anew’: we begin again to realize peace, wholeness and abundance through greater and more fulfilling channels of expression.

For February we are sharing from Lesson 2: Microorganisms.

Thank you for accompanying us on this journey of self-realization and discovery of our Divine potential!

Please affirm with us: “God’s Omnipresent Intelligence expresses through me as Divine Wisdom and Love!”

Thank you God, thank you God, thank you God!

For so it is and so it shall be, Amen!

“You who have been studying The Infinite Way or any other truly spiritual teaching one, two, five, or ten years must have a mind filled with truth, not memorized statements of truth… you have become filled with the spiritual truth, with the word of God which sets you free, and which sets all those free who come within range of your consciousness.” Joel Goldsmith, The Altitude of Prayer, 97.

“I cannot make creative things happen. But I can prepare for creative things to happen. I can do what I can do… I may draw it forth.

“The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein; for he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers.” Psalm 24:1-2.

“Every act of man has its origin in thought, which is expressed into the phenomenal world from a mental center that is but a point of radiation for an energy that lies back of it.

There is within you the God-given intelligence to build such a world. Get at it!” Myrtle Fillmore, How To Let God Help You, 151.

God is the silent voice that speaks into visibility all the life there is.” Talks on Truth, Charles Fillmore, 9.

“There is no reality but God, says the completely surrendered sheikh, who is an ocean for all beings. The levels of creation are straws in that ocean. The movement of the straws comes from an agitation in the water. When the ocean wants the straws calm, it sends them close to shore. When it wants them back in the deep surge, it does with them as the wind does with the grasses. This never ends.” The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks, et. al., 44.

“It is up to you to accept your God-given perfection for yourself, put aside the past mistakes and the untrue suggestions, and fix your undivided attention upon the Creator of your inner pattern of perfection.
