the path

"Align yourself with the twelve creative mental and emotional ideas. Get quiet inside and let your mind dwell upon them. Speak in simple direct statements with a feeling of conviction that what you are saying is really true. The subconscious mind thus accepts the suggestions presented to it and works to produce the results in our world."

1. relaxation

Quietly now I release myself from all outer concern. I let my mind go free as I relax completely. I am relaxed physically, mentally and emotionally. I am free from all pressures and tensions. I am attuned to the free, full flow of life moving through my entire being. I let go and I let God take over. I am now cooperating with the creative process. All resistance is dissolved and I am ready for constructive action.

2. expectation

I expect the best of life today. I expect to do my best and I expect the best from other people. I expect the harmonious and beneficial working out of every situation. I expect to give happiness. I expect good health in my mind, my body and my world of affairs. I expect an abundance of all things. I have more than enough to meet all my requirements. I thrill to the expectancy of living life fully today.

3. recognition

There is one life, one Infinite Intelligence at the center of all things. Today I recognize the presence of a great loving power flowing through all creation. I feel this every part of my being. I am aware of law and order back of all manifestation. I enjoy the prolific spontaneous beauty in all of nature. I know there is a cause back of every effect. I am convinced that there is One Cause back of all things. I recognize the privilege and potential of life. I know there is more to know than anyone has ever known. I let my mind expand into infinity today.

4. unification

Whatever life is, I am living it. Whatever God is, I am expressing It. Whatever truth is, I embody it. I am an individual expression of the great mystery of life. I am one with all life. I am one with all people. I am unified with the Great Cause which is the father of all living things. I am a brother to every living thing. I embody the spark of divinity. My mind is my use of the One Mind. My soul is one with the Soul of the Universe. I can never be alone. All separation is dissolved as I attune myself to the oneness of life today.

5. dedication

I am happy to be alive today. I know who I am, where I am going, and what I am here to do. I dedicate my life to the expression of good. I discover what I can do better than anything else, and I dedicate my talent, ability and efforts to the service of God and humanity. I am dedicated to living life fully today. I determine to do the best that I can at all times and in every situation. I find my right place in life and cooperate with the forces of growth. I love life and I love to live. I love people and I dedicate myself to helping make the world a better place

6. intention

I intend to succeed at anything and everything I under- take. I choose my objectives wisely and I intend to follow them through. I am filled with good intentions, and I do something about them. I intend to be a better per- son, and I start right now. I intend to express love and good will for all people, and I start right now. I intend to be happy, so no other thought ever enters my mind. I intend to be successful, so naturally I am successful. I have every intention of making this day the best day that I have ever lived. I intend to make my contribution to life today, and I start with these creative ideas.!

7. identification

I am one with the object of my desire. I live my objectives completely. I think, feel, breathe, taste, eat, drink and sleep my goals and objectives. I have a singleness of purpose. My life has focus and meaning as I provide a vital point into which the creative energy of life may flow. There is no place where God leaves off and I begin! I identify myself with the all-good which is God, so I become one with that good. I look like the constructive ideas in my mind. I act like someone who is identified with purpose, service and good deeds. This is the truth.

8. conviction

There is no doubt in my mind today. I am convinced that I can go where I want to go, do what I want to do, and be what I want to be. This is my conviction, so it is true for me. My thought and my feeling blend together in forming my conviction. My conviction indicates the level of my faith. I carry the conviction of success. My subconscious mind is working for good because I have a constant conviction of good. I know all things are work- ing out for the best. I know that right action is taking place in my plans and projects. I know I am growing; I know I am achieving. I do my best at all times to give to life the abundant good which I am convinced life gives to me.

9. realization

10. projection

I let my realization of good go before me and prepare the way. My atmosphere precedes me. What I am is visible from afar. My every thought, feeling and deed is a messenger and a servant. I proclaim the glad tidings from the housetops. I exude confidence, authority, strength and love. I know what I can do and people know that I can and will do it. My consciousness reaches to untold heights. My ideas, thoughts and undertakings are the channels through which my goodness is shared with the world. I hold nothing back, I share all that I have, of and my consciousness reaches the stars. I am projected into total life today by the power of knowing.

11. action

I must be about my Father's business. Today I get out and get going. I stir the stagnant waters and give them fresh release. I get to work and accomplish mighty deeds. I go where I need to go and do what I need to do. I flex my muscles and put them to work. I tackle the thing that cannot be done and I do it. I do not know what boredom and inactivity are. I am a doer. First I pray, then I come out slugging. I join thought, feeling and action into a mighty team of accomplishment. I won't sit around and wait. I work in harmony with the creative law of life today. Together we get things done. I am set to go. I act intelligently now.

12. cooperation

I know that I can accomplish anything only when I am working in cooperation with the inner forces of life. I am merely a tool in the hands of a larger Doer. I do not resist life. I cooperate with life. I know that there is a larger purpose for me and I do everything I can do to attune my thoughts, feelings, and actions to this purpose. I flow with life. I feel its free, full flow through me now. I will never resist it. I revel in the release of spiritual power through my entire being. I let myself be used by something that is greater than I, and I do everything I can to assist its processes. I am on God's team and I know the meaning of teamwork now. And so it is.
