“There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same. He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate. What Plato has thought, he may think; what a saint has felt, he may feel; what at any time has befallen any man, he can understand. Who hath access to this universal mind is a party to all that is or can be done, for this is the only and sovereign agent.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
The one mind that Emerson references is an infinite field of creative energy, i.e., the genesis of absolutely everything that exists, be it physical or emotional. This infinite field of consciousness is shared by all, uniting us as one, yet individualized as many. Each one has access to divine ideas that are infused with the presence of Omnipotent Good, God.
Once we are in alignment with Omnipresent Good through our thoughts and actions, The Presence of this Divine Essence is manifested as those things we desire to experience. There are unlimited possibilities for our lives. It is our inherent nature that this is so.
Lifetime students of practical spirituality are forever in awe of this amazing grace. It doesn’t matter if you are new to the path or a seasoned traveler of Truth, “It”, the Life Principle of Love, Peace, Harmony, Joy, Beauty, Abundance, Wisdom, and all things hoped for, are within every one of us, right here, right now!
I love the idea that the Science of Mind teaches one how to think, not what to think. Choosing the specific good we seek to experience is our freedom within the One.

It is through regular spiritual practices that one begins to bump into life-giving ideas that may be incorporated into our daily lives as a way of life. In so doing, we become less and less distracted by fear-based beliefs of separation, lack, and limitation. For example, I love the idea of being “for something and against nothing.” I love the idea that “God in me, as me, is me.” I love the idea that the I AM presence within me, is God. I love the idea that God is a consciousness of Omnipresent Good. I love the idea that Abundance is a consciousness of ‘all needs met.’
I love the idea of Oneness
I love the idea that I AM is a universal presence at the center of every living being.
I love the idea that the mystical I AM Presence is “indestructible, absolute, and self-existent cause.”
I love the idea that ”there is good for me and I ought to have it.”
I love the idea that “there is a power for good in the universe and I can use it.”
I am filled with gratitude and thanksgiving for all of these ideas that, once embodied, become the fulfillment I seek.
“I freely take in Divine ideas which are filled with the breath and the intelligence of life. This is a new moment.”
