July 9th 2014 Review III
Lesson 113
- Intention: To review two thoughts each the day
- Practice:
Devote the first and the last Five-minutes of the waking day
reviewing the ideas for the day. In addition repeat one thought on the
hour and the other on the half-hour during the day.
- Application:
-- For the two five-minute sessions, read over the ideas and comments
given for each day's exercises. Think about them while letting your
mind relate them to your needs, your seeming problems and all your
concerns. Give the ideas to your mind and let it use them as it
chooses. Have faith that your mind will use them wisely, being helped
by the One Who gave the thoughts to you. Give direction at the onset;
then lean back in quiet faith, and let the mind employ the thoughts you
gave as they were given.
- Application: -- For the hourly and half-hourly exercises, Repeat one thought on the hour and the other one half an hour later and allow your mind to rest for a minute or two
in silence and in peace. Then return to your day but try to keep the
thought with you, and let it serve to hep you keep your peace throughout
the day as well.
These practice periods are planned to help you form the habit of
applying what you learn each day to everything you do, so use the
thoughts and they will serve you in all ways, times, places, and
situations. Take them with you in the business of the day and make them
holy.

Insights/comments:
- I am as God created me, one with Himself. The first part of the statement is enough to eliminate all worry, pain and misery from our minds, because it establishes our lineage. God being all knowing, all powerful and all present means that we came from good stock; the deck has been stacked in our favor; we are like seeds planted in good and fertile soil, so by right are highly favored to accomplish great and marvelous things. But the second part goes even further: it means that failure is impossible for us, because it is impossible for the One of Whom we are a part. It is our guarantee that we have already accomplished all that we wish and are as complete as our Creator.
- Practice, practice, practice! It is in the practicing that the we remember our perfection.
I and my Creator are One.
