How much good can you handle; how much love can you take? How much good can you endure before your fortress breaks? ~ Kelly Sullivan Walden
When blessings come in, stop holding your breath, awaiting the other shoe to drop. You no longer need to feel that you’re begging gifts from the universe. May your prayer not be for more, but that you have the eyes to see that what you’ve always wanted is what you’ve always had. Perhaps you thought it was cute to be coy and self-effacing when given a compliment, an acknowledgement, or appreciation? It is time to open your heart, breathe deeply, and receive blessings knowing it is not just about or for you. With every gift you receive, you can give back to life. It is an energy exchange – a perpetuating spiral of appreciation that leads to more to appreciate. This spiral circulates upward, escalating you into higher realms of consciousness. Instead of questioning what you did to deserve all this goodness, pray to become more aware of and receptive to the blessings in your life.

Excerpts from the book Love & Law the Unpublished teachings by Ernest Holmes.
—————————————
Realize you have nothing to make, you have nothing to make it out of. Let us realize there is but one Infinite Life from which all things come. Look beyond all manifestation and see the One Power, Essence of All That Is, beside which there in nothing else. That life is in me now. That life is in me now.
Now, my word is to go forth; everybody must think it through for themselves as I am thinking it through for myself. Your word is just as much as mine; my word goes forth into this power and it shall be done unto me absolutely as I believe.
I believe that the Spirit or Intelligence hears this word and receives it and acts upon it.
—————————————
There are but a few points you must always remember: Since all is Mind and the only activity of Mind is thought, and the only thing you get out of Mind is what you first think into it, what you think is of the greatest importance. How you think it, the bigness with which you think it: If you could only conceive a very small thing, that is all you would physically get. Here we realize that we are not dealing with anything that is physical. There is no physical explanation for anything on earth or anything else and there never will be. All manifestation is backed up by a definite idea. Every idea is a thought in your life and mind and everything that happens to us is backed up by some mental attitude.
We have on the one hand all Mind, or the substance which forms itself around our thought; on the other hand, we have the thought around which it forms. And there is something you must never forget: that Life can only operate for us by flowing through us, never in any other way.
—————————————
When we use it in a certain way, we get results. So you can know perfect law, know that your word destroys everything that is imperfect, breaks down every man-made law, every material law, and know that your word is the law unto this case.
—————————————
Here is another mistake; here is a psychological mistake, or a mistake of psychology. I cannot plaster my thought into his. That would mean you had a mind and he had a mind. That is not the truth because there is nothing but Mind and you both are in it, and in this race consciousness there is thought operating against this Mind and that is where you have got to destroy it. Do you understand? First, you must realize that you are a mental being, or spiritual; you are perfect; and your word is perfect – it is absolute. This is not taking anything away from God. God is still God, and God is still All. But you are recognizing that God has given you power also as God has. You have got to know absolutely that your word is the law unto this case; it is. If it was not, you could not heal anything. So then, quite definitely I would state to begin with, and often I have to do it now, I declare often, “My word is the law unto this case, absolutely.” And it is not enough to declare that word with a sort of empty meaning; that must be backed up by the consciousness that recognizes what you mean. You must feel that beyond your word there is an infinite power, and intelligence that is causation; it is right out into it. That is making your unity with the Infinite. Then, you know that your word destroys every man-made law that anybody has made about this person that says man is poor and sick and miserable and has to die of tuberculosis. Your word must have that power itself of casting out.
—————————————
As long as you and I are too personal, suppose I sit down in front of that person and say, “I’ve got to heal him. It is a big job.” I could not do a thing. My consciousness has got to realize that Mind is universal, that it knows everything, that it is all-powerful at all times. The time will come when one’s consciousness will be so strong that they will heal as they pass along, that one can heal a thousand people at once. There is such a state of consciousness.
—————————————
Remember – if you want to get a big thing, you have got to expand your consciousness so you would be able to receive a big thing if it were tocome to you. There is always a reciprocal action between mind and that which is universal and that which is individual, and when it is flowing through you, you must realize you are dealing with a law which cannot demonstrate. You are not taking any chance, you are not asking questions, you are not making any supplications – no, you are not making a prayer from the ordinary standpoint of prayer. You are using a power which is and you have the right to use it and it will reach right up to your ability to use it. It is limited by our mental concept, absolutely.
You have seen and unseen allies. Draw upon their strength. Join forces with friends and flourish.
Today I focus on the good and happy Spirits in my life. The ones that build me up instead of tearing me down. I am rich with the joy and beauty brought to me by my friends.

When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts. ~ Mary Baker Eddy
You have a circle of supernatural support, spirit guides, and angelic beings surrounding you always. You have at least ten thousand angels on hand at all times, above, beneath, and on either side of you. When you become aware of them, their support and strength can be experienced more palpably within you, and you become truly empowered. Take a moment to scan over your life and realize you have never been alone. Allow yourself to feel uplifted as you ride on the wings of their vision for you. Discover the loving guidance that is always present. Honor your guides and angels by receiving and acting on their gift of wisdom.

When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the World, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away timid adventurers. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
As you advance along your journey, prepare to encounter all types of people and circumstances. There will be those who start off as allies but turn out to be otherwise. There will be those you judge as enemies who become the greatest instigators of your spiritual growth. If you know in advance that even the enemies you encounter are allies in disguise, you can relax. So, relax – as there really is no such thing as a true enemy. When you reflect on your life, you realize the most difficult challenges taught you the most valuable lessons and have made you more resourceful and resilient than you would otherwise be. Revel in the reality that you are who you are today, precisely because of the challenges you’ve faced and aced.
Mantra :: I revel in the blessings discovered in the most unlikely people and places.

If something is said such as, “I will not fail this test” … “will” cancels out “not” and the universe hears, “ I fail this test.”
Say instead, “I will pass this test.” You’ll get much better results.
The language was purposefully created to disconnect our truest intentions with the power that is … with those who are here to assist us in manifesting our dreams.
Be a leader – Show others how its done – You can help others!
Alice led the way and the whole party swam to the shore.
Alice takes on a new role – that of a leader. She did, after all, create the problem that they are all experiencing, albeit accidentally. She is the one who thinks through what has happened and tries to calm the creatures about her – even though that doesn’t always go right. And, she is the one being who takes charge and leads them out of the pool of tears and onto land. Just as you must do right now.
There is an emotional situation about you and it is affecting not only you, but other people, too. And, they are finding it hard to make their way back to steady ground. They are floundering amidst this sea of emotions within the present circumstances. It is up to you to lead them to the shore – to bring them back to the land. Now, this means you are to help everyone calm their emotions and come back to a more grounded, clear and stable place.
Even if you have been very emotional yourself, it is time to show leadership, set for the shore and help others make it there safely, too! Show everyone how its done – demonstrate what is best to do. Help those who, like you once were, are overwhelmed by their feelings. All you need to do is show them the way.
It is time to step into a leadership role. Others are looking to you to solve a problem or show them how to work through an emotional situation. Help others by showing them what needs to be done, not by telling them what to do. Calm your emotions, ground and center yourself, so you can be of greater service to others. You cannot help others overcome emotional distress until you have learned how to calm your own feelings. Be steadfast, strong, and encourage others by your own calm example.
Male and female is fundamental to life; partners in work to be done. ~ Oren R. Lyons, Spokesman, Traditional Circle of Elders
The Great Spirit created a system which would allow us to reproduce, to have companionship, to love, to laugh, to cry, and be happy. Man and Woman each have gifts the other doesn’t have. But, together they have these gifts to share with each other. The Great Spirit made it this way. So let us treat each other with respect. Let us look upon each other in a sacred way.
Grandfather, Grandmother, bring the spirits to teach us.
The universe operates under the law of cause and effect and is always looking to return to a natural state of balance. So, if you are lacking in the feelings of abundance at this time, you are being invited to share your time, your gifts and your understanding with others. If you’re frustrated because something isn’t unfolding in your life, instead of asking yourself what you can get, ask yourself what you can give. The exchange of energy doesn’t necessarily mean financial energy – it can also be about supporting in order to feel supported. If you’ve been holding back with your offerings, now is the time to change that. Allow yourself to be open, honest and vulnerable. This can prepare you to open up to even greater opportunities in the coming days, weeks and months.
Exchange talents in order to expand. Be open and honest and act with integrity in your exchanges, because ‘doing something to get something’ will only lead to challenges.
