GOOD STUFF

Rev. Mary Louise Ruffner

“… whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” ~ Philippians 4:8 ~

“Realizing that the Lord is not far-off, that God is an inward intimate Presence closer to me than my very breath, I affirm that there is nothing in me than can doubt this Presence or limit the Power of Good. There is nothing in me that can separate me from the Love of God and I accept the joy of living in the very midst of It.”
~ 365 Science of Mind p.25.2, Ernest Holmes ~


The primordial stuff that permeates our very being is the Pure Energy; i.e. the ultimate formless substance of the things we hope for. When the words of our heart denote harmony, beauty, joy, wisdom, love, peace, health, and prosperity, we are in alignment with the essence of life that sets the Law of Creation in motion. Yes, our words, clothed with feelings and beliefs, ignite the Law that is the Lord of our lives, out-picturing as our experiences. The Law, or Infallible Principle of Good, is not far off. Deepak Chopra puts it this way, “You are inseparably part of the cosmic quantum soup.”

The above quote by Ernest Holmes may support you in entering into contemplative meditation, an affirmation, or spiritual mind treatment about these things. Spiritual practices bring you into alignment with the vibration of your intrinsic nature of being. Otherwise, through your power of free will, you may make choices that bring about other results. After all, the Law, like all universal laws and principles, is impersonal. It simply responds by corresponding with the feeling tone that is emitted. Therefore, we may experience both positive and/or negative experiences according to our habitual pattern of thinking. The good news is that the Law is not far off, and we may at any time change our thinking and change our lives.

“Our habitual pattern of thinking” is key here. Like all habits, after a while, we no longer think about what we are thinking about. Instead, our thinking becomes an automatic reaction to what we see, hear, touch, smell, or taste. Our positive, or negative reaction is constantly being triggered by what seems so real. Actually, the subsequent experiences we encounter are the out-picturing of individual and collective beliefs, which are subject to change. We can begin right now making conscious and deliberate choices based on our core values and beliefs, knowing they are made manifest by the Perfect Law that receives the direct impression of our thought and acts upon it.

Through a consistent spiritual practice of meditation, affirmative prayer, life visioning, journaling, inspirational reading, and being in community with forward-thinking people, to name a few; you will soon become exceedingly aware of the good stuff in which you are immersed. Soon, instead of reacting to that which is transient, you may begin responding to the infinite potential of good that you imagine for yourself and for the world.

None of this suggests we are to become complacent, ignoring the current events of the world. Quite the contrary. Now having learned to listen to your inner voice, you are divinely guided regarding what is yours to do that supports a world that works for everyone.
