Religious Science RELIGIOUS SCIENCE CREATIVE THOUGHT FOR EACH DAY JUNE 1955 2 5 c S 1 LOOK THOUGHTFULLY al those 'with whom I come in contact in my journey A through life, I am fascinated (and oft- limes alarmed) hy the common denominator I find: each person has everything he will acre pi. To a few: Health, Harmony, Abundance, Love and all positive blessings seem theirs for the taking. To many others: seemingly content with half-measures of Health, small demonstrations of 4bimdance, meager approaches to complete Harmony and Love, they live their lives as though they didn’t quite believe that “all things” meant ALL things. With added bless­ ings lying round about them, they settle for crumbs. The need is obvious: greater faith and a sense of acceptance. God meant to include you.

Mnnnging Editor: Walter Edward Ramnpy. by Raymond Charles Barker h e last one hundred years have brought forth a new concept of man. Religious Sci­ T ence has played an important role in this revelation. It has steadfastly proclaimed that man is a spiritual potential whose full nature warrants our exploitation. Psychology explores the negatives of the human mind. Religious Science explores the spiritual resources of the individual, yet, it uses psychological techniques to do this. Man is a powerhouse of mental dynamite. His use of mind determines his experience. Viewing his mind merely as a human he be­ holds problems, world conditions and limita­ tions. From the spiritual side of things, we see what man can be, even if he hasn’t yet be­ come it. God never limits us. We have accepted our own limitations. We have tried to over­ come these limitations by knowing more facts about more things. But, we now discover that more facts about more things do not produce a better man or a better world. They only produce more comfort. The new man as studied by Religious Science is a growing spiritual experiment. And, this experimentation is one of mind action. Facts are ideas completed. Man is cause and by his causation he determines the facts which will take place. Our motives determine our desires. Our desires stimulate our emotions. Our emo­ tions give rise to the direction of our thinking. Our thinking causes the Law of Mind, the subconscious, to produce form. This entire process is a spiritual one, be­ cause God is all in all. We believe this and we prove this. The traditional thinkers neither know it, nor can they receive the benefits from knowing it. So, they struggle to achieve, while we rest in a Law that does the work for us. The new Man knowing himself as God in action works effortlessly in bringing to pass the de­ sires of his heart. Our technique is simple. We affirm our thinking process to be divine. We know that what we think and feel causes a subconscious Law to act and bring forth a result. Religious Science is a light unto the world. It reveals what man can be. It does not emphasize man’s errors. It keeps its sights on the God-man and teaches him to grow into his true stature. lie C jreateit flow er ~3n %jour o C tj^ e ' h o u g h t is the greatest power known to Tm an! Out of the past we created the present. And out of the present our thought is creating the future. We become what we habitually think. Think Life! And you will be filled with new vitality and power. For there is a guiding, producing Intelligence that responds to every definite demand made upon IT. Think poor thoughts and you become poor. Think great thoughts and you become great. What you are thinking NOW . is condition­ ing the days ahead. Religious Science is showing the world how to think with God, in and with God! It is the Science of Mind, the Science of Truth, the Sci­ ence of the Everlasting Presence and Power. For within you is the Power and the Glory that is greater than any circumstance. This Power will free you from fear, doubt, and discouragement. Religious Science teaches you how to live a successful and progressive life . and it teaches you how to live a successful life right now, right where you are. Use your Power for Good today! Paul Martin Brunet M g . W a k D L h e l a w of our lives can be an inflexible Tlaw, holding us in the slavery of its iron grasp; or it can be a law that supports, promotes and protects our every action. Whether the first or the later, depends upon two things: knowledge of the law and conscious alignment with it. As an example, take the law of floata­ tion. Lack of knowledge, leaves us in the grip of terror when we suddenly fall into deep water. We thrash around in fear, and without help we might drown. But with knowledge of the law, we calmly turn and float in perfect safety. The same law brings destruction or protection. Recognition of your source and of your One­ ness is the first law of your life. Aligning your­ self with that law is prerequisite to your ulti­ mate Good. Only in this way can you meet the requirements of the law; and as the law is clearly understood and acted upon, you are free to unfold into power to which it is im­ possible to assign any limit. Walter Edward Ramsey cco ru in tj ^ /o v/jour he principle of demonstration is that it is done unto us as we believe. Conse­ T quently, the art and science of bringing into our conscious acceptance an inner convic­ tion that our every good has already been pro­ vided by an All-Wise Intelligence is what we must cultivate if we would demonstrate a greater good. Turning our thoughts daily and often to recognize this Giver of all good in a spirit of thankful acceptance and trust is the way to cultivate this art and science of demonstration. As we grow in this practice, we find ourselves becoming more aware of the Divine Presence and feeling more trust and confidence in the Divine Givingness. Thus our fears and negative states of mind begin to give way to an attitude of faith and positive thinking which in turn becomes our law of attraction for a greater good. Our sense of separation and fear of opposi­ tion dissolve into a feeling of unity with life, and right relations are more quickly established in our daily contacts. These daily affirmations Wi" W |’ y0U' Anita Scofield (' . .. / 1 j . __Spiritual StwaKeninfy e h o l d , I stand at the door and knock.” | j —Rev. 3:20. This “I” is the Word of Truth, The Christ, revealing Itself to man. It stands ready to serve, to direct and to sustain but man must open the door of his con­ sciousness if he would hear the “Voice,” and receive Its direction and protection. Materialism is the most insidious thing in the world today. We can defeat it only with something better than materialism. Jesus prom­ ises, “Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.” The application of the Truth to our daily needs is the Saviour of the World. Spiritual understanding is the direct opposite of all that materialism represents; hence Solomon admonished, “With all thy get­ ting, get understanding.” The Love of God for man, in man, demonstrates the true brother­ hood of all peoples. Religious Science teaches the technique of the application of the “Word,” into the great Law of Mind. It not only will set you “free” but your use of the following meditations will help to cleanse the entire subjective realm of the Creative Mind thereby “doing to another as you would have them do unto you.” Lora B. Holman I KNOW MY SOURCE. ^ “My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.”—E x o d u s 33:14. h e r e is One Presence. I am always in the midst of this Presence. It surrounds me, T permeates me and maintains me in peace, poise and right balance at all times. I am never alone; I am never lonely, apprehensive, fearful nor worried for this Divine Presence is always my Unseen Counselor awaiting my every need. Divine Presence is leading me on the path­ way of peace. It is directing my thoughts, my words and my actions into constructive chan­ nels of self-expression. It is uniting me with others in love, in kindness and in consideration. In this Presence is the inspiration of an un­ derstanding love and the realization that I am working with a Law that always accepts my direction. I am now unified with that which is greater than I and yet, that of which I am ever a part. Therefore, I declare that there is a Divine Presence and a Law of Good which, flowing through me, reaches out to everything in my world with love, joy and gladness.

  • The Kingdom of God in the United States C
    Word & World 2/2 (1982) Copyright © 1982 by Word & World, Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN. All rights reserved. page 137 The Kingdom of God in the United States C. CARLYLE HAALAND Wagner College, Staten Island, New York I. RETROSPECT In 1937 H. Richard Niebuhr published his The Kingdom of God in America, a work that broke like a thunderclap on the American scene. In it Niebuhr appeared to depart from the view explanatory of the dynamics of religion in the United States previously set forth in his notable and widely received The Social Sources of Denominationalism. To the consternation of those of more socio-economic-political interpretive persuasion, and to the approbation of those inclined to favor the power of ideas, Niebuhr came to argue that it was not just the empirical conditions of human life but also (and especially) key ideas persisting down through the course of time that shaped the religious situation. Further, the idea that possessed the most significant trailing power, Niebuhr contended, was the Biblical motif—the Kingdom of God.1 One may argue that Niebuhr drew too sharp a distinction between the empirical and the ideational in explaining how the religious fabric of the nation was woven. But surely, as an excellent social analyst, he knew that both aspects offered valuable insight into religious belief and behavior. What he wished to accomplish, therefore, was to sensitize the public to a lost element in respect to clarifying the power of religion in the life of the nation. One may argue further that the particular lost element that he seized upon—the Kingdom of God—was merely an influence of the early Neo-Orthodox movement resonating in an arena of inquiry in which it had no business to be.

Bulletin, contact: [email protected] Bariatric Bulletin, Bariatric Patients Should Take Supplements For Eye Protection Obese patients who have undergone bariatric surgery to shed weight should take the supplements prescribed to them to protect their eyes. Taking in too little Vitamin A, in particular, could in some cases actually cause night blindness, dry eyes, corneal ulcers, and in extreme cases total blindness. This advice comes from Rui Azevedo Guerreiro and Rui Ribeiro of the Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central in Portugal, who reviewed what little research there currently is on the occurrence of eye conditions following bariatric surgery. The review is published in Springer's journal Obesity Surgery. Three different types of bariatric surgery are performed to help with weight loss in obese patients: restrictive (such as adjustable gastric banding and gastric sleeve), malabsorptive, and mixed procedures (including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion) that combine the first two types of surgeries. One of the drawbacks of these operations is that patients can develop nutrient deficiencies. This happens, for example, when patients vomit more often, eat less or develop food intolerances. People who have had restrictive bariatric surgery, for instance, often follow an unbalanced diet which subsequently influences their intake of the correct combination of vitamins and micronutrients.

  • Spirit Speaks January February 2013 Volume 10 Issue 1
    Spirit Speaks January February 2013 Volume 10 Issue 1 Let There Be Peace On Earth Honoring Presence. Nurturing Spirit. Enriching the lives of all we serve. Dr. Moira’s Message Dear Ones, The fire before which I sit, is burning warm and bright. Its flickering flames dancing through the logs are captivating. The Christmas tree to the left of me with all its magical creatures, birds, icicles and ornaments calls me away into its majesty and mystery! However, I must keep my date with you Dear Hearts, and happily be available to Spirit’s inspiration for us all as we head into the New Year. The wind now dancing playfully up and down and all around the chimney has just applauded my happy task! I loved our Christmas Candlelight Service. Did you? I so enjoyed the delightful treat of your warm company. Were we not thrilled by our children, our musicians, our singers? Were we not moved by “The Universal Child” video, fed by Spirit’s sharing and touched by the communion we entered into together? One mind thought, one heartbeat, throbbing and pulsating in the mind and heart of The One! As you see, the memory lingers bright and warm within me. Thank you for contributing to such wonder and joy. Paul’s words in 1:3-4 Philippians comes to mind now: “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. You are always in every prayer of mine.” So here we are my friends, on the brink of a New Year. What makes the 1st of January different from any other day of the year, I ask myself; or the end of the year any different from the rest of the year? Perhaps it is the collective consciousness of newness that makes the New Year so special, so promising, so inspiring.

    The Power of Decision: A Step-by-Step Program to Overcome Indecision and Live Without Failure Forever, Raymond Charles Barker, Penguin Group (USA) Incorporated, 2011, 158542854X, 9781585428540, 207 pages. Introducing the first book in a powerful new series, The Tarcher Master Mind Editions: Essential Books of Inspiration, Instruction, and Motivation. What mind can conceive, man can achieve. Our decisions impact every area of our lives. Making better decisions means living a better life. But how can we develop the habit of making great decisions? Every noteworthy achievement the world has ever seen was born with a single thought; and every great man who ever lived has been a man of decision. Raymond Charles Barker's The Power of Decision reveals this principle of success and illustrates the process of choice that all of us must take-and that all of us are capable, this very second, of taking-to change our lives and make our dreams come true. Indecisive people are failure prone, and Dr. Barker examines this basic truth while exploring the decision-making process in the individual, and the role of the subconscious mind in either abetting or thwarting each of our conscious decisions. He provides specific steps to shift the balance of decision-making power in your favor, and he brings to light the constant, ever-present power of will to change a situation- and yourself-for the better. Picking up The Power of Decision is the moment; and reading it is the decision that will change your life forever.. Test your freedom a discourse of man's role in the universe, TihamГ©r TГіth, 1969, Philosophy, 144 pages.
