The Power of a Made-Up-Mind

Rev. Mary Louise Ruffner

“To manifest, means to show forth or to make evident. Everything we see – plants, animals, man/woman, every visible thing — is a manifestation of God, differing only in degree.  ~ As we make conscious use of the Law, planting an idea in Mind and watching it come forth into form, into objectivity, we are producing a manifestation.”  
~The Science of Mind, page 608 ~

” Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.”

~ St. Francis of Assisi ~

There’s a lot of talk these days about how to manifest the desires of the heart. At the same time, many people have begun to realize that there has never been a time that humanity has not manifested its environment. After all, every time we imagine moving forward with a project, interviewing for a new job, meeting a friend for lunch, or enrolling in a class, we have set ourselves up for the manifestation of our reverie. We have tapped into an irresistible Law of Mind in Action.

No, we are not magicians, mastering certain tricks for our personal delight. Our method is to simply respond to the Divine Urge within us that is forever seeking a greater expression of goodness through us. Our receptivity and alignment with the Indwelling Spirit are sufficient enough to clothe high-minded thoughts with the particular forms we desire to experience.

Ancient Wisdom tells us, “Seek first the kingdom of heaven and these things will be added unto you.”  The kingdom of heaven is that realm of pure consciousness within us that is always harmonious; always peaceful; always loving; always beautiful; always wise; always joyful; always powerful; and always present. Are these not the qualities we desire to see, hear, taste, smell, and touch in our daily lives?

What we are learning is, we are surrounded by a creative medium, an energy field, that receives the direct impression of our beliefs, both positive and negative. Yes, the “things” in our lives are the logical outcome of our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. Therefore, it only makes sense to nurture the high ideals of the Spirit, knowing that they become the substance of the things hoped for and the evidence of the things not seen.

What if we, the citizens of Planet Earth, began to imagine the ever-present heavenly qualities of Harmony; Peace; Love; Beauty, Wisdom, Joy; Power; and Abundance, infused in “every area of the political, corporate, academic, and social sector, providing sustainable structures to further the emerging global consciousness?” According to The Law of Mind, would we not manifest a world that works for everyone?

We can each start right now; right where we are.  Whenever we make up our minds regarding what is ours to do, and act upon it, we become a beneficial presence in the world. All things are possible to manifest through the power of a made-up mind.
