Ready to create a world that works for everyone?
Start with a life that works for you.
Sometimes, the first thing we need to do to create a life that works for us is get our big “but” out of the way. You know the one – “I could make more money but …” “I would lose weight but …” Here are some truths to remember when your but gets in the way:

Examining New Thought & Social Justice
To believe that your thoughts and your consciousness are the only forces in play that create your reality is to ignore global economics and racial inequality, says Masando Hiraoka. Hiraoka is a Millennial and a Religious Science ministerial student. Like those of his generation, he is unafraid to question the standard answers embraced by New Thought adherents.
“We have this ideology [in New Thought] that we’re creating our own lives, says Hiraoka. “There’s this rugged individualism that comes out of the time of Ernest Holmes (creator of the Science of Mind philosophy). It can be interpreted as saying ‘It’s all on us as individuals; we’re taking personal responsibility for our lives and all of the changes we make are on us as individuals.’
“As a result, if someone else’s life doesn’t look like we think it should, we think then that’s on them. We take a passive view of their difficulties and say ‘Well, that’s on you. You go fix it. These [bad circumstances] are in your consciousness.’”
Hiraoka challenges these views. READ MORE. |

Improve Communication with the 20-20 Rule
Got a big conflict you’re trying to solve? Get everybody in the conversation to adhere to the 20-20 Rule: Speak no longer than 20 seconds (about 20 to 30 words). Then listen deeply. This simple technique could help you solve problems in a quarter of the time it normally takes.
Read more about the 20-20 Rule & the 10-10 Speaking Game in the August issue. |

God Lives in Me
—Ernest Holmes
All life is one life. Just as every physical substance derives from one universal energy, so there is but one life principle, which is God, in which we all live and from which infinite source our individual lives are drawn. If this life is everywhere present, it is also within us.
To say that the life is God is the only life there is means that our life is not only in God and of God and from God—it is God, in and through us. If this were not true, we would have a life separate from God, which would be impossible. We must no longer deny that which we should affirm.
The life of God is my life now. In God, I live and move and have my being, and God lives in me and moves through me.
I am one with the whole, therefore I say to my mind:
“You are to live and think and feel this truth until it is spontaneous and natural. And when you say, ‘God is my life,’ you are to know that the entire life of the divine presence is flowing through you.”
