Welcome to the Lake Tahoe Spiritual Living Center!

Life is best lived from the inside out, not the other way around.  What this means is that if we base our happiness on outside stuff, that happiness will be fleeting, because the outside stuff comes and goes.  Happiness and peace sticks around if we go within to find it.  This is done with spiritual practices, and I have a list of nine for  you to try out.  This is not a comprehensive list, but it does cover all the basics.  Over the next few posts I will delve into them one at a time, but for today, here are the ten:

1.  Centering

2.  Listening

3.  Meditation

4.  Spiritual Mind Treatment

5.  Visioning

6.  Sacred Study

7.  Sacred Service

8.  Sacred Giving

9.  Silence

10.  Journaling

A foundation of consistent and regular spiritual practice insures a life lived well, happily and peacefully.  You don’t have to do all of these every day, but each serves in it’s own unique way to contribute to peace in your life.  Stay tuned for a primer on each practice!

We read my most favorite section of the Science of Mind textbook last night.  It’s called Supply, and it’s in the section called Physical Perfection.  I turn to this section quite a bit to re-remind myself of my truth.

Today I’m going to utilize some of the words and phrases from this section to write a treatment for abundance.  There is a treatment already in the book, but I want to create a new one with a bit more modern language.  For those of you new to this column who don’t know what a treatment is, I’ve written about treatments before here, you can do a search.  But very briefly a treatment is a scientific form of affirmative prayer.

Spirit. Spirit is all.  Spirit is all there is, Spirit is supply, Spirit is substance, Spirit is abundance.  Spirit is ALL.

I am made from Spirit, in the image and likeness of Spirit.  A part of Spirit, Spirit a part of me.  Thus, I am all, I am supply, I am substance, I AM ABUNDANCE.

And so I declare, right here, right now, for all the world to see, to acknowledge, to use  and to witness, that I AM ABUNDANCE.   And because I am abundance, I have abundance.  I am successful in all that I do.  I am compelled to always make the right decisions to insure financial abundance in my life.  I am well compensated for all the services I provide.  I always have an abundance of money!  There is always a continuous movement toward me of money, a flow of an abundance of money in, then a compensating flow of money in different directions to pay all bills in a timely fashion, a surplus of money to pay for entertainment and recreation, another surplus of money to pay for repairs, and another surplus of money to pay for anything else that I should wish to purchase.  A continuous flow, of more money coming in that going out, always that wonderful luscious abundant flow, with money left over to with as I please.  I have abundance because I am abundance is now my mantra, my chant, my truth.

I give thanks that it is  already done.

And so it is.

As a Practitioner, I am specifically trained to do treatments for others.  Treatment is very powerful, it works!  If you wish me to treat for something, send me an email (private message if on Facebook) or give me a call.

I don’t know about you much, but I don’t much care for rules, simple or otherwise. However, there are some rules that I like to follow because I know that, in following them, I will have a much better quality of life. So last night, our merry band of members of the Science of Mind book study read a section of the textbook called Physcial Perfection and decided to write down some of the simple rules for spiritual mind treatment, not only to attain physical perfection, but anything else you might want as well.

Just as an aside for those of you who might be new to this blog, spiritual mind treatment is a form of affirmative prayer. We are the only organizaton in the world that uses a scientific method to effect healing. It works, and as a Practitioner, I am specifically trained to do treatments for anyone who asks, among other things. Do a search on this blog for Practitioner Sessions and you will find more information.

Ok, back to the topic. We went back through the section we had just read and did a little brainstorming on our favorite phrases to come up with a nice consolidated list of simple rules.

1. We don’t create energy, we transform it.

2. The answer to prayer is in the prayer when it is prayed.

3. We are always causing something to be created.

4. There is no duality, only good.

5. We are SO one with the Whole that what is true for it is also true for us. (this is my personal favorite)

6. We concentrate our attention, the Law creates the form.

7. We know that more light will be given so we use that which we have.

8. Man will deliver himself from sickness and trouble in exact proportion to his discovery of himself and his true relationship to the Whole.

These are all quotes from the textbook. I think Ernest had a way of writing about the Law of Attraction that puts things very clearly, don’t you? And just think, he wrote this stuff in the early 1900s! Way before anyone coined the phrase Law of Attraction. If you are having trouble manifesting what you want in your life, you might want to consider stepping on over to the nearest Center for Spiritual Living in your community and checking out what they have to offer. And we will always welcome you to our book study in Carson City on Tuesday nights!
