The Golden Key
Brought To You by Ted DeCorte, M.A.
Emmett Fox wrote about "the golden key" a concept which stated "don’t talk about the problem, think about the solution, which is God." This is a marvelous prosperity consciousness lifting exercise. "Don’t think about lack, think about the Source, which is your supply."
"Within myself is that which is perfect, that which is complete, that which is divine;that which was never born and cannot die; that which lives, which is God--the Eternal Reality." - - Ernest Holmes

A PRAYER FOR BALANCE,
FOR PEACE AND HARMONY IN YOUR LIFECourtesy of Dr. Carlo Di Giovanna,
Religious Science Senior Minister (ret.)It is from a peaceful Mind that all right decisions and actions take place. My God is Peace. My Peace is God. To experience God then, is to experience Peace.
I accept my God. There is now no separateness from God as Peace; as there is no separateness from God as me. For that which God is in whole, I am in Part.
I let my whole being now, my thoughts and feelings, my consciousness, be open to the influx of God as Peace - as harmony. I realize that in opening myself up to this experience all that is unlike Good (God) is released from my experience. I do not hang on to - or make claim to the possession of any thoughts about any person, place or thing which disturbs, agitates, or conflicts with my True nature.
There is no condemnation in me now of any past, present, or future experience. I know that the things in the past were a necessary part of my experience. For, they were leading me into a greater understanding of Truth about myself. And so, I bless the past and release it.
I know that there is no other moment but the eternal now, which is providing me with every opportunity to know and experience only Good (God). I give myself completely to this moment and use it with wisdom, in love and in truth. And, I place faith in It.
I know that my future is but the continuation of my present. It is Love. It is Peace. It is Harmony. From moment to moment I look forward only to an increase of that Good that I am now aware of. An increase of the Good which I am now feeling.
Having experienced God as Love and Peace, Love and Peace are reflected in my surroundings. My home which includes those that I love radiates this peace and harmony. And, daily I bless my home and It blesses me. And all those who live in it.
My home emanates from Love. It is Love, and it attracts Love. Truth is its foundation. Harmony its structure,and peace its atmosphere. There is no fear, no competition, and no intrusion that can enter into my dwelling place. The door is open to those who recognize the happiness in my home! They are welcomed, loved and accepted. The door is closed to confusion and difficulty. My home is where I AM. It is God's desire to give me this peaceful dwelling place and share it with those who find contentment in it.
It is to the Divine, which is the Source of my Good that I RELEASE THIS PRAYER. I have expressed my choice and accept it now as my GOOD! I know that it is by Divine Law that this is being made manifest. So I put my faith in God as Love and God as Law.
Because I believe that this prayer is being made manifest and can be already accepted in Mind, I give my sincere thanks. I live in eternal gratitude for all that is Good in my experience and comes from God.
AND SO IT IS.
TRIVIA FOR A LIFE'S JOURNEY
There is one mental law in the Universe, and where we use it, it becomes our law because we have individualized it. Behind the individual mind is the Universal, which has no limits.
It is done unto you as you believe.
It can become power to us ONLY when we recognize it as power.
From Swami Beyondananda - -
I have good news and I have bad news:
The bad news is tht we have lost the key to the door
behind which the secret of life is hidden.
The good news is that it was never locked.We cannot recognize that IT is, while we are believing that IT is not.
Our belief sets the limit. Itself is without limit. It is ready to fill everything, because IT is infinite. So, it is not a question of IT's willingness, nor of its ability. It is entirely a question of our own receptivity.
As much as we can believe will be done to us.
If we can conceive only a little good, that is as much as we can experience.
In a gentle way you can shake the world. - - - Ghandi
Good is without bounds. Only good and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life.
We experience good and evil because we perceive a presence of duality rather than unity.
Let us accept today more good than we experienced yesterday.
If you had but the faith of a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, "Be thou moved," and so it would be. - - - Jesus Christ
The Universe is impersonal. It gives alike to all. It values each alike. Its nature is to impart, ours to receive.
Every person stands in the shadow of a mighty Mind, a pure Intelligence, and a Divine givingness. We look to far away for Reality.
To return to a sane simplicity is one of the first and most important things to do.
Lord, let me always desire more than I think I can do. - - - Michelangelo
It is the nature of the Universe to give us what we are able to take. It cannot give us more. It has given all, we have not yet accepted the greater gift.
We cannot fight the Universe. It refuses to be budged from Its course. We can only go with it. But there is ample latitude for personal expression. Every person knows right from wrong.
Thy strength shall be according to the measure of thy desire. - - Arab proverb
We are surrounded by an Infinite Possibility. It is Goodness, Life, Law and Reason. In expressing Itself through us, It becomes more fully conscious of Its own being. Therefore, It wishes to express through us. As It passes into our being, It automatically becomes the law of our lives. It can pass into expression through us only as we consciously allow It to do so. Therefore we should have faith in It, and Its desires and Its ability to do for us all that we shall ever need to have done. Since It must pass through our consciousness to operate for us, we must be conscious that IT is doing so.
The one who wishes to demonstrate some particular good must become conscious of this particular good, if he wishes to experience it. Therefore, he must make his mind receptive to it and he must do this consciously. There is no hocus-pocus in a mental treatment. It is always definite, conscious, concrete and explicit. We are dealing with Intelligence, and should deal with IT intelligently.
If we wish a certain good, we must instill into our own minds a realization of this specific good and then -- as this idea is the mold we place in mind -- it will be filled by the substance necessary for the complete manifestation of this good in our lives.
I know that the faith within me now neutralizes ALL doubt.
How much of this Infinite Good is ours? ALL OF IT! And how much of It may we have to use? AS MUCH OF IT AS WE CAN EMBODY.
There is one mind common to all individual persons.
In a dream I saw myself as a great and colorful butterfly;
now I am not sure if I am Chuang-Tsu dreaming I was a butterfly,
or a butterfly dreaming I am Chuang-Tsu. - - - - Chinese Patriarch Chuang-TsuWe are surrounded by a Universal Mind.
Reality is not in a mountain, nor afar off, but within us.
God reveals Himself to us by revealing Himself through us.
As a woman thinketh in her heart, so is she.
A woman needs a little madness, or else she never dares cut the rope and be free. - - -Liberties with "Zorba the Greek"
What we expect, that we find. What we wish, that we believe. He can who thinks he can.
Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning. - - - John Henry Cardinal Newman
It is done unto you as you believe. What we outwardly are, and what we are to become depends upon what we are thinking.
Now that my house has burned down, I have a better view of the sky. - - - Zen saying
When we understand the Law, we learn to consciously embody what we wish, and think of this only, and then we are drawn silently toward it. Let us, then, enlarge our thought processes, and dare to think in Universal terms.
We cannot live a choiceless life. We have the right to choose what we wish to experience.
Consider that people are like tea bags. They don't know their own strength until they get into hot water. - - - Dan McKinnon
We must become actively constructive and happy in our thinking -- not merely passively so.
All mind activity inevitably tends to create its physical correspondent. An unhealthy and morbid mental state projects itself into the physical body. Thoughts of sickness can make a man sick; thoughts of health and perfection can heal him. A realization of the Presence of God is the most powerful healing agency known to the mind of man.
We are one in nature with God. Our own word has the power of life.
Make your life a mission, not an intermission. - - - - Arnold Glasgow
We could accomplish whatever it is possible for us to conceive. Life externalizes at the level of our thought.
Always get the view from the top. Before you react in negativity to people, conditions, or things, take a moment to life up your eyes unto the hills. Contemplate all the changing, challengine experiences from the highest possible point of view. . . . See all things from the awareness of the allness of life and the ever-presence of substance. From the view from the top, you will see things creatively, leading to an attitude that is constructive and optimistic. - - - Eric Butterworth
Daily we must control all thought that denies that real; affirm the divine presence within us.
Act as though I am and I will be.
There is no limitation outside our own ignorance.
We shall never triumph over them (previous experiences) while we persist in going through the old mental reactions.
Thought is creative.
From George Bernard Shaw: God has given us a world that nothing but our own folly keeps from being a paradise.
Prayer is recognition of Spirit's Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence.
Nothing could bring greater discouragement than to labor under the delusion that God is a Being of moods, who might answer some prayers and not others.
We have a choice to play life large or small. Play Life Large!
If God ever answered prayer, HE always answers prayer.
If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask ye will and it shall be done unto you.
Whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do.
When we become conscious of our Oneness with Universal Good, beliefs in evil, sin, sickness, limitation, and death tend to disappear.
The time is now; the place is where we are, and it is done unto us as we believe.
Prayer is not an act of overcoming God's reluctance, but an active acceptance of HIS highest willingness.
Prayer is constructive.
Before they call will I answer. Our prayer is answered before it is uttered.
Prayer is a mental approach to Reality. It is not a symbol but the idea symbolized that makes prayer effective.
Always the man who has faith in his own ability accomplishes far more than the one who has no confidence in himself. Those who have great faith, have great power.
Faith is an affirmative mental approach to Reality. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Ask and it shall be given to you.
If the good were not already ours in the invisible supply, it would be impossible for us to procure it in any manner.
It is done unto you as you believe.
In order to have faith, we must have a conviction that all is well. In order to keep faith, we must allow nothing to enter our thought which will weaken this conviction. Faith is built up from belief, acceptance and trust.
We must not be lukewarm in our conviction. We must know that we know.
Have a conscious recognition that health has always been yours, abundance has always been yours, happiness and peace have always been yours; they are yours now, for they are the very essence and Truth of your being.
Life is a growth process and we grow through giving. You cannot Will things to happen, but provide an avenue through which they may happen. We live in a Perfect Universe, but IT needs to be seen mentally before IT can become part of our experience.
There must be a recognition that the power of the word, operating as the truth and reality of being, can do all things.
Prayer is essential to happiness, for righteous prayer sets the law of the Spirit of life in motion for our good. Prayer is essential to the conscious well being of the soul. Prayer is its own answer.
Never Limit Your View of Life
The Universe Never Plays Favorites
All thought is Creative. There is no limit to thought.
Divine Nature is in every man
Look Only at What You Want
Place No Limit On Principle
God Never Compromises
We are allowed to choose
Believe that it has already happened
Mind has substance.
There is no limitation when we realize that the whole kingdom of God is locked up within us.
Some have thought of God as something separate and apart from themselves and they, therefore, have gone out searching for Him where He cannot be found.
Be ye tranformed by the renewal of your mind. From Charles Fillmore:
"God is the source of a mighty stream of substance, and you are a tributary of that stream, a channel of expression. Blessing the substance increases the flow. If your money supply is low or your purse seems empty, take it in your hands and bless it."
Give me a place to stand, and I will move the earth. Move from limitation to ABUNDANCE. Move from scarceness to PLENTY. Move from need to RICHES.
It is my God given birthright to have a full and prosperous life. "I came that you might have life and have it abundantly."
My prosperity depends on my state of mind. "All things are possible for him that believe."
The Law of Equivalent Exchange creates a harmonious circulation of Good in my life. "Give, and it shall be given to you, heaped up, pressed down and running over."
Praise and thanksgiving are thresholds to the limitless good of God. "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he."
The Universal Supply to me is in direct relationship with my ability to release the past and receive my good. "This one thing I do forgetting those things which are behind. I press toward the mark for the prize."
Total trust in God alone as the Source opens the gates of plenty in my life. "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want."
I am a channel of good that flows through me. "It is the Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom."
By giving a tithe of my resources to spiritual causes I establish a flood of properity in my life. "Honor God with thy substance and with the first fruits of all they increases, so that thy barns shall be filled with plenty."
Money is a Divine Creation and is good and I freely accept it as such. "God generously giveth us richly all things to enjoy."
My prosperity is a dynamic process and is never a fixed attainment. "Goodness, truth and mercy will follow me all the days of my life."
Mental imagery and visualization of good pours forth riches in my life. "Thou shall decree a thing and it shall be estalished unto thee."
My desire of prosperity creates a mental consciousness field which expresses in abundance. "Before they call, I will answer and while they are yet thinking I will hear."
A prosperous person is one who is at ease, in harmony with the world, whole and free to do what he wants when he wants to do it.
You are prosperous to the degree that you are experiencing peace, health and plenty in your world.
