We are committed to this path of growth. So many of us are finding our personal power and inspiring ourselves and others. Noticing where our thoughts are running is such a key! If we feel other than good, we decide to reach toward uplift, feeling better bit by bit.
Ernest Holmes wrote extensively on this way of thinking. Read on to catch a whiff.
“… Out of my personal experience come the negative suggestions that arise from the race consciousness. If I permit them to, they act as a mesmeric or hypnotic power over my imagination…. But I know that there is a Presence, a Power, and a Law within me, irresistibly drawing everything that makes life worthwhile into my experience. … I know that nothing but good can go out from me, therefore the good I receive is but the completion of a circle—fulfillment of my desire for all….
So, I refuse to judge according to appearances, either mental or physical, no matter what the thought says or what the appearance seems to be. There is always a higher Power. Upon this Power I rely with absolute confidence that it will never fail me. I have dominion over all apparent evil, which is merely a belief in which I no longer indulge.” [1]
Learning to live into this understanding: we notice how we feel and shift toward wanted.
Marguerite’s Story
Marguerite had an unplanned visit from her landlord, Hal. H drove up, asked her a question about a health condition. When Hal did not like her response, he went on a long-winded speech about how he viewed the pertinent health issue.
The man went on in an angry tone, a harangue, for at least 10 minutes. At one point H started to apologize for coming on so strong, but continued his monologue.
Marguerite listened silently, and he left fairly soon afterwards.
Soon M observed how tense she felt, annoyed and frightened by his remarks. Next, the star began research on local housing, feeling calmed a bit by this focus. Then she went on with her life, diving into activities she enjoyed.
The next day Marguerite sat with herself to review what she knew deep inside her. As Holmes had asserted, she tuned into the enormous, unstoppable Power of Good.
About 5 years earlier M had turned her situation over to that Power to land the rental opportunity where she now resides.
Dwelling in that memory for a moment, the heroine basked in how she had been guided, protected and provided a “good find,” one fulfilling a list of apartment features she had wanted.
Soon M was filled with a strong Positive Vibration. At that time this woman had surrendered to the Power of Good and as a result had received what she wanted.
Thie protagonist taps into that wonderful grounding as needed. Years later she can report that incident with her landlord had no effect on her housing. M had been protected.
