A Communication with God
by Chaplain Carmella Herrera, RScP
Chaplain Carmella Herrera, RScP

Dear God: I sit in this moment in awe, knowing of a loving God and an understanding God, and that I can have a conversation with God at anytime, I simply say “How wonderful is that!”.

I begin this conversation, sharing my desire to deepen my consciousness. It means so much to me to have a relationship that allows me to be honest and direct and open to receive, as well as free to give of myself. I know that I choose to consciously enhance my part in these conversations by letting go as I clear my mind so that I can hear. I also choose to expand my thoughts at the core level of my being to bring openness and honesty to the conversations. I yearn for these moments of Divine Communication, knowing that they are always safe, and always bring me to Oneness. As I release and I let go, I pause and get to peace. I can relax into the moment with a full recognition of the truth of who I am. How gracious is that!

I affirm that I am blessed. I embrace the Light of Spirit in my life. I experience calmness to my Heart. I get to embrace knowing that I am continuously blessed with strength so that I can be there for others, and give to others. That is my heart desire. I declare it so.

I am grateful for this conversation. I have so much to be grateful for. I am thankful for all the blessings that are so generously bestowed upon me. Thank you, God.

I now choose to place these words into a prayer. As I release my words, thoughts and actions into the law through this prayer, I know it is so. It is Divine!

And so it is!

Harvesting the Gifts & “Falling” Into Place
� September is traditionally a time of harvest, The fall season invites us to gather what has ripened in our lives and gently release what no longer serves us. In this episode of Rockin’ the Love, we explore how the Five Gifts of Prosperity — Gratitude, Intention, Forgiveness, Tithing and Surrender, become embodied wisdom when we live them in real time. Together, we’ll harvest the insights, celebrate the growth, and “fall” into place with the rhythm of the season. This is a conversation about integration, spiritual maturity, and stepping into the next chapter with clarity, softness, and divine alignment.

A Treatment for Energy, Power and Strength
by Marjorie Larragoite, Practitioner Emeritus

Marjorie Larragoite, RScP

To grant you, according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his Spirit. (Ephesians 3:16)

…those who trust the Creator will find new strength. They will be strong like eagles, soaring upward on wings; they will walk and run without getting tired. (Isiah 40:31)

God is ,,,the Intelligent Energy running through all. Ernest Holmes, THE SCIENCE OF MIND, p.480

There is One Power, One Mind, One Presence, One Creator of all. This one is God, the infinite Divine Spirit that is in, through and around all that exists. This Spirit is the truth of being of each and every person who is seeking energy, power and strength to do whatever they have before them to accomplish.

I am one with this Spirit, this Power, this Mind, this Presence, this Divine Creator. Through this connection with the God which is in, through and around me, everything is given to me that I now desire to have in my life. This is also the truth of every person who is need of and seeking energy, strength and power. Each one is totally and completely connected with the great Creator that brings everything into our lives. Through this Divine connection, everything is given, totally and completely.

Therefore, I now accept for myself and for every person who is seeking energy, power and strength to accomplish whatever they choose to bring forth into their lives, all the energy, all the power and all the strength each one needs and is asking to have brought into their lives so that they may do whatever is desired, whatever is needed. I affirm that this now comes forth in the highest and best way for all.

I give thanks that as I have spoken these words and made this request, this has already been created in the Mind of God and now comes forth in the most amazing way possible. It is already done and now is available to each and I now express total thanksgiving that it is created and is readily available to every person who is seeking energy, power and strength. With total gratitude, I now accept these gifts.

I release this into the Creative Mind of God, knowing it is done. I let go and let it be and know it is done completely and perfectly. And so it is. Amen.

Invincible Love
by Nancy R Bowers, RScP

“The only force in the universe that is truly invincible is love. Love knows only giving, so it creates a vacuum which in turn continually flood with more love. It is impossible to fight against such a force since it renders all other energies defunct by returning them to their source.” ~The Gene Key, Richard Rudd

God is Oneness, Infinite, without Sides, Undivided, Ubiquitous, Life, Light, the very Groundswell of Beingness. It is Deep Peace. Total Wellness. Love. Joy — that which inspires Awe and transports the soul beyond limitation to explore its true nature — Creativity. As I breathe into the awareness of Being, I allow that Presence to fill me. It nudges out all that is unlike itself. Its Brilliance eliminates all darkness. It playfully dances in and out of the illusion of opposites and illuminates how beautifully Love expands when it comes back to itself through forgiveness.

I am part of that Oneness, and yet because it is Oneness, I am the whole. Simultaneously that which is and isn’t. I am the holographic universe, the birthplace of life and love, the incubation where lack sometimes appears to exist. I am all that I choose to become, as I explore the different iterations of human expression, and yet I am the changelessness; forever connected to the whole that can never be obliterated.

I surrender to that which is. I no longer fight, for I refuse to strengthen the appearance of lack. I claim my birthright of beauty. I notice how, freed of force, I release the mind’s demand for comprehension and recognize that ultimately, I don’t really know anything. I am just making up stories that silence ego’s hunger for authority. It’s a best guess based on a past that knew even less than I think I know now. It’s an activity that, when allowed to continue, eclipses the beauty of being and slips in ideas for improvement. It is my condemnation of God’s handiwork, and it is insidious: a cancer that must be denied, for it was never the Truth. Once I recognize the groundless story that I used as its foundation, I start laughing. It is folly, and it is endlessly amusing once you stop taking it so seriously. I notice the fears. I see how formless they are until I unwittingly coalesce them into being through my attention. Will I ever give up the habit of empowering situations I do not prefer to experience? Can I notice them without feeding them?

Even what ego’s wants to label “wrong,” just is. It holds no meaning beyond what I have assigned to it. I notice where I have once again fallen into the trap of believing I am separate and see where I judged against.

Thank God I can’t extract myself from the all-emcompassing Love of Spirit! Thank God I can’t really do anything wrong, I can only invite in challenges. Even these are gifts.

Lord, help me release all opposition to Your Life. May I forever choose love. May I remember I cannot be separate from who/what I am. May I remember I am Yours. Forever — held in Invincible Love.

And so it is. Amen.

All the Good that Is
by Rev. Gil William Olmstead, Spiritual Director

Today I am grateful for all the Good that is! I am grateful that the All Good of the Universe is my life. It is all Life! We all live in that One life, expressions of It.

I am knowing that Good overflows Good in every moment. Love, and peace, and harmony filling every corner of existence. Knowing that I can rest as the Good that I am.

I release these words knowing that all is in Divine order.

And So It Is!

All Is Unfolding Perfectly
by Rev. Kamatara Filipiak, Director of Collaborative Ministries

I recognize the Presence of the One Loving Source, the All-That-Is that expresses in this Universe and beyond. This Divine Essence is God, Love, Joy, and Abundance always expanding and unfolding perfectly.

As God is all there is, I am one with the One. I am aligned with the Divine that is the Presence and Power within. I am God in action. I am love, joy, and abundance, expanding and unfolding perfectly.

And so I speak my word for myself and my life, that all is unfolding perfectly. I am in the flow of the Divine as prosperity comes to me. I welcome the opportunities, income, experiences, and joys that cross my path. I am open to giving and receiving. My abundance consciousness expands, I release any limiting beliefs around money, income, work, and bills. I know in Truth that God is Infinite and that I have access to this Infinite, from which all abundance comes. I am worthy to receive and so very blessed to give. All that I need comes to me as God is my source.

I give thanks for the new sense of peace that surrounds me and for the financial freedom that is mine. I appreciate every opportunity and the flow in and out of energy, resources, time, and money. I’m grateful for the joy that financial freedom brings, that sits deep in my heart alongside thanksgiving.

Now I release this prayer to the Law, knowing that Spirit is already manifesting in unlimited and perfect ways in my life. I let it go and fully trust the Divine. And so it is.
