“THREE MAGIC WORDS”
Meditation I
THE LOCK
I know that I am pure spirit, that I always have been,
and that I
always will be. There is inside me a place of
confidence and quietness
and security where all things
are known and understood. This is the
Universal Mind,
God, of which I am a part and which responds to me as
I
ask of it. This Universal Mind knows the answer to all of
my
problems, and even now the answers are speeding
their way to me. I
needn’t struggle for them; I needn’t
worry or strive for them. When the
time comes, the
answers will be there. I give my problems to the great
mind
of God; I let go of them, confident that the correct
answers
will return to me when they are needed. Through
the great law of
attraction, everything in life that I need
for my work and fulfillment
will come to me. It is not
necessary that I strain about this – only
believe. For in
the strength of my belief, my faith will make it so. I
see the hand of divine intelligence all about me, in
the flower, the
tree, the brook and the meadow. I know that
the intelligence that
created all these things is in me and
around me and that I can call
upon it for my slightest
need. I know that my body is a manifestation
of pure
spirit and that spirit is perfect; therefore my body is
perfect also. I enjoy life, for each day brings a constant
demonstration of the power and wonder of the universe and
myself. I am
confident. I am serene. I am sure. No matter
what obstacle or
undesirable circumstance crosses my
path, I refuse to accept it, for it
is nothing but illusion.
There can be no obstacle or undesirable
circumstance to
the mind of God, which is in me, and around me, and
serves me now.
Meditation II
ILLUSION
I know that I am one with the Universal Mind. I know
this mind is
perfect and I may rely upon it for complete
guidance in all of my daily
affairs. This Universal Mind,
this great Subconscious Mind, this mind
of God knows no
evil or limitation or lack. It simply creates in my
experience that which I believe and accept. Therefore I
deny all evil
and all error. When my eyes and my senses
are deluded with the apparent
circumstance of evil, I turn
away, lifting my thoughts to the
perfection and abundance
and love of all the universe. I know that God
does
not create evil; and I know that by using the power of God I am
able to deny evil, which is only illusion, simply
error, and will not
stand before truth. For the great
reality is good, which is always
attempting to manifest
itself. I know that error or evil is the result
of my own
thought, is the result of error on my part, is the result of
isolating myself from the power of the Universal Mind.
I know that the
Universal Mind is constantly creating in
my experience that which I
think, and if evil is manifested,
it has come from my own thought; and
my own thought
may as quickly deny it. I do not will anything
to
happen, for I am not bigger than God. I simply
understand that the law
of creation is bigger than I am
and that I cannot help my thoughts and
beliefs from
becoming real in my experience. Therefore I hold my
thoughts
steadfastly on the good. I do not do this with effort,
as if I
were commanding something to act. I simply relax
in contemplation of
the good, secure in the knowledge that
everything rests with a power
much greater than I Am.
I trust this power. I have complete faith and
confidence
in this power. I rely upon this power for guidance in all
my daily affairs. I refuse to accept evil, and evil is gone.
I accept
good, and the supply and love
of the universe are mine.
Meditation III
MIND
I know and recognize my oneness with all things. I
know that all
form and all circumstance are the
creation of an infinite intelligence
that is in and around me.
I know that all things are the result of
conception and
desire, that my world is ordered according to my own
thoughts and convictions. Therefore I concentrate on
harmony. I see
nothing but order and constructiveness
all about me. I do not accept
thoughts of destructiveness
and disharmony. In my friends, my loved
ones, my fellow
workers, I see nothing but cooperation and assistance. I
know that we all seek: the same answers and the same
goals. I know
that each person must follow a different
path toward his vision, and I
understand the searching
and the copings of everyone I know and see. I
have
sympathy and tolerance for all things and all people. I
know that
in as much as I help others I help myself. In my
brother’s eye there
is my own soul. In my friend’s smile
there is my own humor. In my
neighbor’s sorrow there is
my own loss. I have compassion and
understanding for
all things, for this life in which I have my being
strives
for understanding of itself. I deny error; it is simply
progress toward truth. I know that it is impossible to fail
when faith
is present. I do not order things to be made
in my time or in my place,
but trust the Universal Mind
in its own great knowledge of the time
and the place and
the need and the way. Each moment of each day brings
my life closer to realization. The objects of my work are
being
accomplished this very minute. Success and
harmony, peace and
confidence are mine.
Meditation IV
FORM
I know that all of life exists within me. Here in my
heart and mind,
in the recesses of my being, there is
utter calm, a place of unruffled
and placid waters, where
the truth is apparent and the clamor of the
world does
not exist. I see about me the thoughts of all mankind, for
these thoughts have become things. Whatever is good
among these
thought-things I accept; whatever is evil I
ignore; for my concern is
only with truth and understanding,
which is forever the lovely and the
good and
the expanding. My mind moves easily to the further most
reaches of space, in all directions, and just as easily
moves back to
me once again. I am the center of the
universe. God, the Universal
Subconscious Mind, has made
himself manifest through me. I know that my
purpose in
life is to reach ever upward and outward, to expand in
knowledge and love and unity. I place my future in
divine hands. I
turn over each problem of my life to that
great all-knowing mind to
which all things are possible.
I do not tell God how to bring these
things about. I have
complete confidence that every circumstance that
comes
my way is part of a perfect plan to convert the image of
my
faith into physical reality. Even now the universe
seeks to answer my
every need. As I believe in my heart,
so shall it be done unto me; this
is the law of life and of
living. There is greatness in my friend and
in my enemy,
for we are all brothers seeking the same high mountain
along many paths. God, who made all creatures, made no
poor creature,
for He made only of himself. I am prosperous
for God owns everything. I
am vigorous for God
is all vigor. I need only open my mind and my
heart,
keep my thoughts in the path of truth, and I am filled to
overflowing with the power and abundance
and love of the universe.
Meditation V
INTUITION
I listen to the voice of the universe as it speaks within
me. It is
the voice of truth and it guides me unerringly
along the paths of my
life. Somewhere deep within me,
in the perfect bud of my soul, there
stands an immobile
universe where all things and all law lie revealed. I
reach
within to this place of peace and quietness. I listen to
the
voice of my heart. I close my eyes and sense a living,
breathing
universe dwelling within me, and I dwelling
in it. I am one with all
people and all life and all things.
I move in accordance with divine
law. All the limitless
power of creation is mine to draw upon, for it
is in me
and one with me and I am a part of it. The answer comes
with
the question; the path is lighted with the first step;
the way is
cleared with the looking; the goal is in sight
with the desire. I know
that I am fulfilling the fondest
wish of God, for I place myself in His
hands, taking each
step of my life boldly and strongly, for it is God
who
prompts me, and God moves with sureness. I see
tomorrow for I know
today, and this day is father of
tomorrow. The things of my life are
the children of my
thoughts, and my thoughts of today are even now
bearing
the children of tomorrow. All that is good I desire; all
that
is evil I refuse to accept. By attaining, I do not
deprive. All that is
and ever will be is available to every
man; he need only ask and it
shall be given. I bind
myself to the power for good that surges
heavenward all
around me. The limits and inhibitions of my past are
gone. Each day is a new birth of my soul. Each day is an-
other step on
my journey to a oneness with God. I do not
seek, I know. I do not
strive, I am guided.
Meditation VI
FAITH
Here in solitude, in this time of peace, of meditation,
I withdraw
deep into the silent recesses of my being to
a place of utter calm.
Slowly the world retreats from
around me, until finally I am alone.
Walled away from
all clamor and strife there is nothing but me. I am
not
body; I am not thought; I am not experience; I am not
the past nor
the present nor the future. I simply am.
Across my consciousness comes
a constant procession of
thoughts and I observe them. I do not make up
these
thoughts. I know they come from the Universal
Subconscious
Mind, and I watch as they are presented to
me. I slow the train of
thoughts. I examine each of them,
then let go, neither accepting nor
rejecting. On and on the
thoughts come, and I ask myself, “Who is it
that observes
this?” And I hear the answer, “Thou that art, always
have been, and always will be—thou observes!,” and I
understand.
Divorced from body, thought, and
experience, I still exist as I always
must. Here then is my
true self, a thing independent of all but spirit,
a
contemplative “I,” which only observes and chooses from the
thoughts that cross consciousness. Whatever I choose is
mine. Whatever
I reject shall never touch me. I need
only observe and accept, and all
things will be added
unto me by a power which leaps to acknowledge my
faith
and my decision. I sense such warmth and security as
might
overflow the world. I sense a fusion of my being
with the great
Universal Subconscious Mind, the mind
of God. I sense the presence of
the Father who knows
no wrath, who does all things at his child’s
bidding. I
sense my union with this Father by immutable and
irrevocable bonds. I am one with all truth,
all beauty, all justice,
all love.
Meditation VII
ATTRACTION
I do not confuse what I seem to be with what I really
Am. I am never
what I seem to be, and always what I
really Am—host to the indwelling
God. I quiet the
movements of my body, slow my breathing, and glide
deep
into the recesses of my being, to the very center of my
consciousness. Here in this place of infinite calm I
become one with
the immortal Self of the world, and I
observe. My thoughts cross my
consciousness in a
never-ending stream. I do not create these thoughts.
They come
from the infinite reaches of the Universal Subconscious
Mind and are directed to my consciousness, for I have
attracted them. I
may choose any thoughts I desire. I have
but to decide, and the ideas
and images I have chosen are
directed to me. As I accept them so will
they manifest in
my world. I alone decide what I will think; thus I
decide
my entire life. I bar the door of my mind to negative
thoughts
or thoughts of evil. The door is always open to
admit the positive, the
good, the beautiful and the aspiring.
I have complete confidence in
the wisdom and the
power of the Universal Subconscious Mind. I do not
predict
the manner in which each of my thoughts will
manifest; I have
complete faith that God moves in the
most perfect manner. There is no
such thing as lack unless
it is accepted; the universe has infinite
supply. Vigor
and health, abundance and success are mine, for I choose
only such thoughts. Love abounds in a universe where I
am one with the
immortal Self, the Universal Subconscious
Mind, God. My every decision
is answered from a
perfect and inexhaustible source of power.
Meditation VIII
LOVE
The truth about life is the infinite love of God for all
things.
Each man is my brother, bound to me by immortal
and everlasting ties. I
love all people; they dwell
in my Father and my Father in them. I
surrender my
heart to humanity, and humanity serves me with love. I
surrender my heart to God, and the love of God becomes
complete in me.
I am one with all the power and vigor and
knowledge of the universe. I
let go of fear and confusion;
They are illusions and cannot live with
truth, which is
love, which is complete and fulfilled in me now. The
great reality of Universal Subconscious Mind is forever
present at the
center of my being. I draw from it perfect
intelligence, perfect
health, perfect peace, perfect happiness,
perfect love. I surrender all
the built up inhibitions
that have been impressed upon me by the
illusions of the
world. I refuse to accept anything but truth, which is
always the good and the positive. I move in accord with
Divine
Intelligence. I accept the will and the love of God,
which I express in
laughter and joy and pleasure and
service. Only the good, the great,
the significant, and
the constructive do I add unto myself. Nothing
else is
allowed into the creative depths of my being. The surging
desire of each man is to know the fulfillment of love. The
way to this
fulfillment is through contact with the center
of consciousness,
through communion with the silent
dweller within. I surrender my doubts
and confusions
and fears. Universal love is complete in me. I am
united
with God, move with God. I am serene and sure, joyful
and
achieving, confident of ultimate splendor.
Meditation IX
SUCCESS
The infinite creative power of the Universal Subconscious Mind lies
within me. I attune myself; remove all barriers from my thought, become
receptive to the purposes of God. I know that my life is great and good
when I perform service with love. The right ideas are delivered to me, I
accept them and Subconscious Mind provides me with the means of
bringing them into my world. I know that all things spring from
Universal Mind, which is infinitely abundant. Lack and limitation are
errors in thinking and I banish them from my consciousness. There can be
no lack. I need only to let the Universal Mind express itself through
me and my world is filled with creativeness, achievement and prosperity.
My goal will be delivered to me for they are the goal of God who never
fails. Whatever my task I perform it with love, for I know that when I
serve another I serve the purposes of a greater design. All about me I
see the law of mutual exchange therefore I give as I would receive. I
know that abundance and prosperity are mental conditions. I create them
on the plane of mind with complete trust and confidence that they will
manifest in my life. I refuse to accept undesirable circumstance as
having final reality. First cause is mental and is never found in the
world about me. A mighty truth is at the center of my consciousness, w
here no work is difficult, where peace always reigns, where all things
are possible. I know that life is a journey that must be traveled step
by step and I am patient, enjoying the wonder of the way with unshakable
faith in my destination. I submit my will, knowing that success will
come when I fulfill my indwelling self.
Meditation X
HEALTH
My body is a manifestation of my knowledge of myself and my true self
is spirit, is consciousness only and is invisible. Other people see me
not. They see but my body. It is only I who know myself and this
knowledge returns to me in my health and in the things of my life.
Therefore I affirm that my spirit is perfect, that I am one with the
great self of the universe. The energy of this great self permeates my
being, cleanses me of all impurities of the flesh, restores every
function of body to perfect harmony. There is perfect elimination,
perfect assimilation. My entire being is spiritual and my body is
quickened into new life with the perception of this great truth. I
surrender myself to the wisdom and guidance of the Universal
Subconscious Mind. I become one with the purpose of God and this mighty
purpose animates my body, projects into every aspect of my life. There
is no obstruction, no barrier, no limitation in my mind. I see only
peace, power, vigor and plenty. I open my heart to love and love flows
through every atom and pore of my body, energizing, molding and
coordinating. My healing my mind of limitation and lack and negative
thinking, I automatically heal my body. At the center of my being, I
perceive limitless, ageless and deathless spirit, perfect in beauty,
perfect in function. This spirit becomes manifest in my body and in my
affairs. When I am faced with apparent confusion, I surrender it, give
over each of my problems and worries to that which has the perfect
solution and in which there is absolute clarity. I take my thoughts from
the limitless reaches of Universal Subconscious Mind, never from the
world around me. I do not think responsively, I think originally; I do
not react, I act. I am never a victim of circumstances, for each thing
of my life proceeds from out of my thoughts, which move always in accord
with God.
Meditation XI
IMMORTALITY
I know I Am pure spirit, deathless, changeless, birthless and
eternal. I AM not body; I AM not conscious mind; I AM not ego. I AM
sense of Self only, conscious, awareness, unadulterated being. The
presence that animates all life is within me, is altogether the real me.
I am using my body for a purpose, as an expression of an idea and when
the idea is fully expressed, through my work and my mission, I shall
return again to unity with Universal Self, leaving body and ego behind. I
do not confuse my body and ego with what I truly am. My body is simply
and instrument for my expression and my ego is simply memory of physical
experience. Returning to infinity and unity, I shall need neither body
nor ego. I am free of the domination of the ego. It is not my true self,
it is simply an illusion necessary to finiteness and the perception of
space and time. I turn away from the ego, withdraw into the depths of my
being to the immortal consciousness that lies within. Here in this
magic center, my word is law. I need only speak it with faith and
conviction and it will manifest in my life. I AM calm and serene, sure
and unfaltering, for my roots are in eternity. All the things of life
shall change and pass away, but I shall never pass away, for wherever
life is I shall be, one with Universal Subconscious Mind. I need not
strive nor strand for attain immortality, nor fear punishment, nor
aspire for reward. The kingdom of heaven awaits all, the wise, the
foolish, the sinner and the saint, for we are all one in reality,
clothed in different forms in this moment of incarnation. I do not fear
death, for by it I attain the consciousness of higher Self. Neither do I
invite death, for it must wait until my work is done. I forsake the
ego, perceive self in Self, see the majesty, the grandeur, the
immortality of the power that dwells within.
Meditation XII
THE KEY
I turn away from the world about me to the world of consciousness
that lies within. I shut out all memories of the past and create no
images of the future. I concentrate on my being, on my awareness. I
slide deep into the very recesses of my soul to a place of utter repose.
Here I perceive fact in the making and I am conscious of the one being
from which all beings spring. I know that this is immortal Self, this is
GOD, this is me. I AM, I always was, I always will be. All men, all
things, all space and time and life are here in the depths of my soul.
Smaller than small, greater than great meet and unite in me. That which I
though I was, ego, I never was at all, for it was a changing thing,
mirroring the seasons and the tides, a thing to be born and grow and
die. I am not a thing of time and circumstance. I am spirit, pure and
eternal, birthless, deathless and changeless. I am patient, for I am all
time: I am wise, for I contain the knowledge of all things. I know not
pain, for I see there is no beginning and no end and he who suffers pain
must see beginning and end. I am rich for there is no limit to the
abundance I may create from my very Self. I am successful, for I need
only think to achieve. I am loved and am beloved, all things are my Self
and I AM all things. I unite, I fuse, I become one with Universal
Subconscious Mind. The mask of vanity and ego I shall never wear again. I
perceive the magnificent dweller at the center of my consciousness and I
know him to be my very Self. Time and space, shadow and substance, what
matter these? I AM GOD.
