Heaven

26th Day of Lent, Thursday. Read Matthew 13:24-53.

God idealized two universal planes of consciousness, the
heaven and the earth, or more properly, "the heavens and
the earth." One is the realm of pure ideals; the other, of
thought forms. God does not create the visible universe
directly, as man makes cement pavement, but He creates the
ideas that are used by His intelligent "image" and
"likeness" to make the universe. Thus God's creations are
always spiritual. Man's creations are both material and
spiritual, according to his understanding.

Jesus, of all those claiming intimate acquaintance with
spiritual things, gave heaven definite location. "The
kingdom of God is within you." This kingdom is now ready.
"The fields . . . are white already unto harvest." The
conditions are ripe. But only those come in who are willing
to exchange for it their ideas of earthly possessions.
Every earthly link must be broken, every mortal love
crucified. This is

the way Jesus entered this kingdom, and His way is the way
we must all employ.

Heaven is everywhere present. It is the orderly, lawful
adjustment of God's kingdom in man's mind, body, and
affairs; it is the Christ consciousness, the realm of
divine ideas, a state of consciousness in harmony with the
thoughts of God. Heaven is within every one of us; a place,
a conscious sphere of mind, having all the attractions
described or imagined as belonging to heaven.

I realize that faith in Spirit and the ultimate dominance
of the good in me will restore me to the heavenly
consciousness from which I descended.

I affirm: "Heaven within is one perfect harmonious life,
substance, and intelligence, and I rejoice."

Peace
25th Day of Lent, Wednesday. Read Matthew 5:14-40.

"Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace,

To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not: Let all
the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's Thy God's and
truth's."

--Shakespeare

The great thought waves that move the world are set into
action by deep thinkers.

Peace and understanding of spiritual realities arise in the
mind when it has made the inner contact. When we know the
work of Spirit in transforming mind and body, we shall see
that the crushing of personal ambitions releases spiritual
ideas of far-reaching influence.

Jesus went back to the very source of all discord, and
showed how all resistance and antagonism must cease. He did
not stop to argue whether the cause was just or not, but He
said, "Agree with thine adversary quickly"; "If any man
would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him
have thy cloak also." To the mortal mind this seems like
foolishness, but Jesus spoke out of the inner wisdom that
knows that it is dangerous to allow any kind of opposing
thoughts to form in consciousness. He knew that the
universal law of justice would adjust all matters, if men
would trust it and cease fighting mentally for their
rights. This is accomplished by bringing the Christ, the
Prince of Peace, to bear
in all our affairs. "My peace I give unto you."

I praise God for the peace of my own higher self. I rejoice
and am glad in the possession of the Holy City within. With
my inner vision I see the gates open wide, and holy peace
pervades my consciousness.

I affirm: "My mind is stayed on Thee, and I rest in Thy
peace and power."

The Idea

23rd Day of Lent, Monday. Read Luke 5:141.

In the Scriptures ideas are symbolized by fish. An idea is
the original, primary, or unlimited thought of Being: in
God-Mind, the eternal Word or Logos. In the idea are
involved all the potentialities of that which is to be
evolved through man. The idea itself becomes the evolving
power through which it makes itself manifest.

Ideas are catching. We are all heavily charged with ideas.
When ideas are released they spring forth and pass from
mind to mind, being "recorded" as they fly; when they are
expressed the whole race is lifted up--because true ideas
are charged with the uplifting Spirit. We bring divine
ideas into manifestation by making ourselves one with them,
becoming
conscious of our indwelling Christ Mind and our oneness
with the Father.

As the son is to the father, so is the idea to the mind.
Mind is one with its ideas, so the Father--God-Mind--is one
with its offspring, the idea--the Son. Mind is coexistent
with its ideas, and there is continual interaction and
communion. The Father and the Son are one--are coexisting,
interacting, and intercommuning in will and purpose. It was
from the grand idea of divine life that Jesus healed the
sick and raised the dead.

Spiritual inspiration in me is an inflow of divine ideas;
activity of a spiritual character; understanding that comes
from God. It is the inbreathing of Spirit. The breath of
God infused into me has endowed me with super-life. "He
breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy
Spirit."

I affirm: "In the presence and power of the Christ idea in
me, I proclaim my perfection."

The Sabbath

4th Sunday of Lent. Read Mark 2:23-28; 3:1-6.

The true Sabbath is the consciousness that we have
fulfilled the divine law in both thought and act.

The sabbath is a very certain, definite thing. It is a
state of mind that man enters or acquires when he goes into
the silence, into the realm of Spirit. There he finds true
rest and peace. The seventh day means the seventh or
perfect stage of one's spiritual unfoldment. Man had become
so lost in the darkness of sense consciousness that he
could not save himself, so the Saviour came. When man lays
hold of the indwelling Christ, the Saviour, he is raised
out of the Adam consciousness into the Christ
consciousness. He then enters the seventh stage of his
unfoldment, where he finds sweet rest and peace.

The Sabbath as an institution was established by man. God
does not rest from His work every seventh day, and there is
no evidence that there has ever been a moment's cessation
in the activity of the universe. We do not quarrel with our
brother over the observance

of the Sabbath. If he says we should worship God on the
seventh day, or on the first day, in either case we
acquiesce. Not only do we do God's service in praise, song,
and thanksgiving on the seventh day and the first day, but
every day. In the true Sabbath our mind is turned to God
every moment, and we are ever ready to acknowledge His holy
presence in our heart and life. "The sabbath was made for
man, and not man for the sabbath."

I affirm: "I rest in the consciousness of the true Sabbath,
and my heart is filled with joy and satisfaction."

Fourth Dimension

22nd Day of Lent, Saturday. Read John 21:1-17.

The fourth dimension is that which embraces and encompasses
the other three; it is realization, the doing away with
time and space and all conditions. It is the process in
which forms lose their apartness and become one under
divine law. The human mind, with its limited reasoning
faculties, is bound by time, space, and conditions. By
itself it can get no further into the spiritual realm than
reason will take it; but when we invoke the aid of the
Christ in us we go beyond reason into the realm of pure
realization; then we have attained the consciousness of
pure being, the fourth dimension of the being.

The one way to enter the realm of the fourth dimension, or
of realization, is through scientific prayer, commonly
named "the silence." First, I take with me the word Jehovah
and go within and hold it steadily in mind, until the word
illumines the whole inner consciousness. I am now
functioning in the fourth dimension, and the way is open
for concentrating on the prayer I have in mind for the
special demonstration.

I fix my attention powerfully on the consummation of an
idea until the idea has nucleated a certain amount of
thought substance, and I am assured that it will be
followed by that silent power of thought which, working
throughout my whole being, is bringing forth the thing
desired.

When my thoughts radiate with the speed of spiritual light,
they blend with creative Mind (called by Jesus "heaven"),
and that which I ask for is done.

I affirm: "The illuminating power of Truth awakens and
quickens my consciousness, and I discern clearly."

FLIP THE SCRIPT
March 13, 2026

When we daily affirm our faith in the Omnipresence, Omnipotence, and Omniscience of God, the Absolute Good, we flip the script on the narrative that Friday the 13 this synonymous with bad luck and misfortune. When we choose faith in God over popular superstitions, every day, including Friday the 13th, offers us an opportunity to embrace the blessings of God that await our recognition.

As a child of God, it has never been God’s will that you be anything other than successful. However, when thoughts of misfortune, failure, doom and gloom, are entertained, they shape our experience. Why? Because every thought you entertain reproduces itself, unless you decide to change it. Flip your script from a belief in ‘misfortune’ to ‘good fortune.’ The choice to flip the script on any belief is your own.

Yes, the number 13 has been linked to thoughts of death and betrayal, as there were 13 in attendance at the Last Supper. However, the number 13 is also linked to spiritual maturity in Judaism and marked by a positive celebration. When you dare to flip the script and Friday the 13th as a day to celebrate the unfailing nature of God’s goodness, you are more likely to experience that good today and tomorrow, too.

“… choose this day whom you will serve…” Joshua 24:15

The Grace of God

21st Day of Lent, Friday. Read Matthew 5:17-20, 38-48. "As far as
the east is from the west,

So far hath he removed our transgressions from us."

Grace means good will, favor, disposition to
show mercy. Therefore, we do not hold ourselves as bond
servants of the law, but as recipients of the grace of God,
as sons of the Most High.

The grace of God extends to all people, not alone to one
sect or creed. All men are equal in favor with God.

The grace of God is greater than the laws of man. We may
make certain laws and restrictions for ourselves and "his
servants ye are whom ye obey." If we are servants of the
law, our obedience is unto death; if we are servants of
righteousness, our obedience is unto life. To become
recipients of that which the Father would bestow, we should
take the element of grace into consideration; that even
beyond what we ask, seek, earn, or deserve under the law,
God is more than willing to give.

God, as the great creative principle of the universe, will
always meet us more than half way. By becoming receptive to
the "grace of God," we receive the measure of God's
provision, which exceeds any of our imaginings.

I realize that "grace and truth came through Jesus Christ";
that is, the real saving, redeeming, transforming power
comes to me through the work that Jesus did in establishing
for the race a new and higher consciousness in the earth. I
enter into that consciousness by faith in Him and by means
of the inner spirit of the law that He taught and practiced.

I affirm: "Through the grace of God I am forgiven and
healed."

The Body Temple

20th Day of Lent, Thursday. Read Matthew 6:16-34.

God created the idea of the body as a self-perpetuating,
self-renewing organism, which man reconstructs into his
personal body. God created the body idea, and man, by his
thinking manifests.

I realize that I shall have a perfect body and a perfect
world when I understand and use the perfect word, the word
that contains all the attributes of God. Therefore, I
declare that my words are being charged with a full
understanding of Divine Mind and its inhering ideas, and
that I consciously apply this understanding in all of my
feeling, thinking,
speaking, and living and am therefore steadily putting on
the Christ in mind and body.

Overcoming step by step the limitations of material
thought, my body becomes more refined and increasingly
radiant.

The law is that my body is transformed by the renewing of
the mind. By affirmation the mind lays hold of living words
of Truth and builds them into the body. As I enter into and
abide in the Son of God consciousness I have eternal life
and my body is transformed into pure flesh manifesting the
perfection of Spirit.

To bless is to invoke good on that which is blessed. It is
to confer God's good on something or someone. Therefore I
bless my body temple, and declare its purity and strength
and beauty. I pour out upon my body temple the oil of love
and clothe it in garments of praise.

Realizing that the body of Christ in me is the result of my
spiritual thought that maintains its unity with Spirit even
in manifestation, I affirm:

"The Word of God in me quickens my mind, and my body is
transformed into the likeness of His glorious body."

GIVEN THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM
March 9, 2026

One of my mentors referred to the Bible as her ‘contract.’ According to the ‘contract’ God has given each of us “the key” that unlocks the door to eternal riches and promises. This means that we each have unlimited access to God’s goodness. Do we dare to believe that there is nothing that we cannot have, do, be or experience? Do we dare, by God’s authority, open the doors to the infinite storehouse of plenty and experience it beginning NOW?

Begin today to claim your good. Your consciousness is the guard or gatekeeper, and it will ensure that you receive only what you can handle. Your consciousness cannot be fooled. The equivalent in your conscious awareness sets the limit for all that you claim. As you expand your conscious awareness of God’s good, you expand your ability to receive. This is spiritual work and there are no short cuts in the Kingdom of God.

Your prayer and meditation practice will expand your conscious awareness. You’ll receive more because your consciousness will be able to handle more.

“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven…” Matthew 16:19

Zeal

14th Day of Lent, Thursday. Read Luke 10:30-42; 11:1-4.

Zeal is the affirmative impulse of existence; its command
is, "Go forward!" Zeal is the mighty force that incites all
things to action; the eternal urge behind all things. To be
without zeal is to be without the zest of living. Zeal and
enthusiasm incite to glorious achievement in every ideal
that the mind conceives.

Zeal should be tempered with wisdom. Some persons get so
fired with zeal when they first tackle a job, that they
quickly grow tired, and fail to carry it through to
completion. The need is for control, equalization.

Watch the pull of a giant locomotive; note how it slowly
but steadily moves forward, almost by inches at first but
gradually increasing until its mile-long train swiftly
disappears in the distance.

"The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up" means that the
zeal faculty has become so active intellectually that it
has consumed the vitality and left nothing for spiritual
growth. Excessive zeal in religious forms of worship eats
up the purely spiritual. When we become very zealous in
observing the
rites of the church we are prone to forget the church
itself, which is Christ.

The divine command is, "Take time to be holy." I am quick
to do the bidding of Spirit and use a portion of my zeal in
establishing God's kingdom within me. I do not put all my
enthusiasm into helping others; my own unfoldment is of
great importance to me. I love to aid my brother, but I do
not allow that idea to rob me of the power to demonstrate
Truth for myself.

I affirm: "My zeal is tempered with wisdom, and I maintain
a perfect balance within and without."
