Each day brings two quotes from various wisdom teachers, a personal guide from the author’s life and a powerful affirmation. This daily inspiration has impacted generations of readers.
In case you don’t subscribe, here’s an example for you to enjoy:
Spiritual Evolution
Affirmation: Let me be strong in service to my vision of humanity, united in peace.
Knowing that the power of the universe is within us invites us to dare greatly. If, as Audre Lorde says, we use this power in service of our vision, then we must be really clear what our vision is.
In our Science of Mind teaching, we talk about “a world that works for everyone,” and bringing that to fruition requires clarity and courage. It’s easy to say we include everyone in our ideal world, but the actual creation of belonging takes serious focus and action. Are there people you feel afraid to include? Could association with people of immigrant status put you at risk for being caught up in the sweeping raids? Could inviting people who are unhoused be too challenging to have them at your table? Do we want the world to work for the relatives who hold political ideas that are in direct conflict to your right to exist or act on your own values?
If, as Holmes shares, we are in a universe run by an Infinite Mind, we can trust this Infinite Mind to guide our thinking — if we would surrender to it. The guidance will free us to act in a way that helps create a new world.
Quotes
When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
— Audre Lorde
All the power in the Universe is with you. Feel it, know it and then act as though it were true.
— Ernest Holmes, “The Science of Mind,” page 302
As the Universe is run by an Infinite Mind, so our life is controlled by our thinking. Ignorance of this keeps us in bondage; knowledge will free us.
— Ernest Holmes, “The Science of Mind,” page 59
