5 Steps to a Beautiful Mind

A beautiful mind must, by universal spiritual law, create a beautiful life. Here are 5 steps:
1. Attention: : pay attention to your thoughts. Are they what you want to create more of?
2. Purification: Let go of thoughts that discourage, disturb, diminish you. Stop the moment you catch yourself.
3. Identification: Fill the vacuum with any positive, life-affirming thought. Identify with a divine quality---love, joy, peace, beauty, courage...
4. Magnification: Thank God for helping change your mind; feed the good thoughts and feelings with more like them.
5. Action: Take positive action; find a way to express something positive...write a gratitude list, make a phone call to a friend; tell someone how much you appreciate them; do a good deed.

Practice makes perfect.

God's Provision

Most amazing God, whose breathtaking power parted the sea of troubles for the Israelites and whose magnanimous generosity fed their hungry souls in the desert, come now and swallow up my doubts and fears, my stress and struggles in Your unfathomable love. I cast my burdens to You now in trust that You will deliver me into freedom.

One with God through Prayer

"As we come ito the presence of God with prayer, holding the prayer steadily in mind and consciously unifying our mind with the mind of God, we are aware of the soundlessness of God's word as it weaves itself in and out through the whole soul and body consciousness, illumining, redeeming and restoring us." Charles Fillmore
