PERSONAL

AWARENESS

Life is not “a bowl of cherries,” and it is not made better when we simply accept all that befalls us without questioning its validity. This is none other than a state of mind nurtured by habit; that of letting life run its course with little or no thought given to the fact that we alone are in charge of our own destiny. Our very well-being demands that we free ourself of this habit by cultivating a sense of personal awareness and of consciously making choices that redound to our good.

SALVATION

The Peace we O so long for

Is ours alone to win

Be still, be still, and look within.

’Tis truth that gives us moorage

Faith in God a place to stand

The soul unveiled now Lights our way ... To selfless Love, which saves the day.

O   THE   MIND

Harmony of mind, body and soul begins with the realization that it is the mind—the incessant workings of the mind—that governs our well-being.  Not a moment passes but that we may consciously choose our thoughts: they are ours to own and to act upon as we alone decide.  Not surprisingly, the operative word is “to act,” ever mindful that for good or ill, so go our thoughts.

GOD’S  

 LOVING 

GOODNESS

See only goodness in others,

Live in God’s heavenly light,

How else to know our own goodness?

How else to be free of the darkness of night?

‘Tis mind, mortal mind, that bedevils the soul,

‘Tis God’s loving goodness alone makes us whole.

BE LIKE ME                                  

God hears

My heart-felt longing

 It’s plain for all to see,

For when I seek His comfort

He tells me, “Be like Me.”
