Affirming the state of Grace
January 31, 2009
Again today, I want to deal with the theme of state of grace. There are two words: state and grace. Grace is to affirm that “all is well”. State is simply the place where I am. So when I say I am in a state of grace I am saying I am in a Good Place.
I am in a Good Place today because I am aware that all is well. All is well because I am ‘aware’ of it. To be aware is to ‘know’. I know I am. I am in the state of Grace because, in this moment, I know I am supported and loved. I am feeling safe and secure. I am in a state of grace.
From this state I am now ready to move into my day. There is no striving. There is no fear. There is no doubt. I am peace and I am wonder. I am mildly curious as I affirm the fullness of the Goodness in which I find myself. I rest.
I go forward in this day, very peacefully and know that all is well. I am unfolding like a beautiful flower. There is no striving. I let my wings unfurl like a butterfly breaking free of its cocoon.
From this state of grace I move ‘in’ this state of grace and I dream pleasant dreams of pleasure and satisfaction. I choose to forget experiences of being beaten and instead I bask in to the flow of feeling loved and connected to the Source of Life and the Joy of being Aware.
I live each moment today affirming all of the Good I Am.
So be it.
Love

A Prayer. It’s a Good Day!
January 28, 2009
As I begin my day I remind myself that at the Root or Source of things, there is only Good. That Good knows all things. It is in tune with all things. It is in tune with me. That Good is present everywhere. It is pure Awareness. That Good is the sustaining Power of all that is. It rests in Absolute Peace, Joy, Harmony. Its nature is Beauty and Truth. It just is and hence I am.
I recongnize that I am Intelligence and consciousness. I am in sync with the One Power. I know that as I am aware of my oneness I can be consciously a channel of this one. I am the expression of God as me. I joyfully am who I am this day.
I release all fear and doubt transforming them into confidence and the strength of certainty, sureness, stability. I know I am Health, Wealth, Beauty, Love and Harmony in the Rock that is Source.
All day I am in sync with the desire of my heart. I serve with generosity, giving freely and joyfully. I am reminded of what is important to me every moment. I respond speedily and with zest. I love my life. I love the people I surround myself with. All good things come to me and I paint harmonious and fruitful scenarios for every minute of this day. I co-create my reality and I know that the highest good for myself and everyone I connect with this day is what happens because I say that this is so.
I attract loving relationships. I am attentive and creative in every detail of my day. I am on purpose and I use my gifts and abilities in loving, caring and gentle service. I touch deeply the hearts of all those I contact today and I develop new and positive relationships. I have success in every venture I enter upon today.
I release these words and expect to enjoy awareness of the signs that my prayer is heard in the heart of the Universe. I submit these words to the Law and trust that its infinite wisdom orchestrates all of the details making for a rich and fruitful experience today.
And so it is.
Have a Wonder filled day.
Peace

I am in a state of Grace
January 22, 2009
I am now in a ’state’ of Grace. In old time religion that meant some kind of moral purity. But today we have more clarity on that. Grace means: Gift. Hence, in consciousness we could say all is Grace, all is Gift. All that we need is here for the taking. It is all around us. We simply need to ‘recognize’ it. It is not withheld from anyone. It is there for the taking as I recognize it and demand it.
I am in a ’state of Grace’ means Spirit is all around me. I do not need to ‘earn’ it. I need only ‘recognize’ it. By an act of ‘faith’ I ask and I Expect guidance from a Wisdom and a Force Higher than I. It’s not there because I earned it. It is there as I become aware of it. As I recognize that is so and I ‘ask’ and expect its guidance to bring order and purpose in my life.
The following is a brief audio that I recorded. It’s close listening but if you are patient it is wonderful content to have. This reading is a paper by Thomas Troward on ‘The Principle of Guidance.” Give a listen.
Peace and a great day

The Gift of Awareness
January 19, 2009
Today I lay emphasis on the GIFT. By faith we need to see ourselves in the GIFT of AWARENESS. It is not about ’striving’ for awareness. It is becoming conscious that awareness is a gift. In other words, it is all around us like water or air. It is there and we are always using it. We simply need to become conscious, to become aware. It is as natural as breathing but being human means I can become conscious of breathing and I can control and direct its flow and effect, like yogis do. But to do that I need to awaken to the potential in which I am immersed. The person I am then starts to sound through and wonderful things can unfold.
Imagine being in a pool of water. The water is AWARENESS. It’s, just there. 
Not only is awareness, all around us, but the Power of Imagination is there for the using. The Power of God’s Creative Imagination, the Spirit is also there. It is the Principle of Guidance. Faith is the key. The will and the imagination also need to be working. They also are gifts. By faith I believe the Spirit Guides me. It is that simple. The higher Creative Imagination guides my creative imagination and I am led into wonderful experiences through my own processes. I am one with God and so all things are possible. Can I believe it? That is the question. If I can, the sky is the limit. Or as the scriptures say: ‘all things are possible for those who believe.’
Believe. Receive. Act as if. I am AWARENESS. It is all GIFT.
Peace.
Have a great day.

Christ and Spirit Gifts Facilitated by Mary
January 12, 2009
Mary is the mediator of the Mediator of a new covenant. The latter could be called a ”new realm”.
Mary is the human presence evolved and prepared to welcome a new realm. She is so one with the Holy Spirit that the distinction is hard to make. Mary at the birth of Jesus, at the start of his ministry, at the foot of the cross and at Pentecost makes her the ‘ground’ of a new era in consciousness.
Really, Mary is the symbol of each of us. This symbol is the power or ability to ‘receive’. In my human limitation as me, I can receive only so much, but in my identification with Spirit I can receive the fullness of all there is to receive. There is no ’separation’ between me and God. There is only unawareness.
If there is a ground, there is a space to receive a ’seed’. The seed can be likened to a thought. In the Christian story of Mary conceiving the seed containing Christ consciousness, we have a human conceiving the thought of God in the form of a person. Isn’t that ‘to become aware’. She became ‘conscious’ of being able to bare the thought of God, the Word of God in the form of a person who was named Jesus.
Her consciousness, or awareness was growing in proportion to the Christ Consciousness she was facilitating into the world or human consciousness. Up until that time God, in human consciousness, was this remote Deity. Here the human dares to become intimate with God.
So through Mary, for the first time in history, we have a conscious record of humanity daring to claim its ‘likeness to God’. Hence, through Mary we have the birth of the awareness of Christ (consciousness) and of Spirit. Two Gifts accessible to all: Christ Consciousness and Spirit.
The question is, can I believe and so receive conscious access to these gifts?
I believe so.
How’s that for a little light reading today?
Peace,
Norm
