Do you hear this a lot? The economy’s bad. I can’t find a job. I have too little money. Lack, limitation, scarcity! And yet, there seems to be an amazing transformation going on...not just here, but globally.
In the late nineties I realized that the computer revolution was passing me by, and I went off to the Occupational Center to learn Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Pagemaker, and even HTML and web design. But I wasn’t too heavily invested in the world of the Internet; I used it mainly for photography and email.
Recently I thought of starting an online business, and I discovered Internet 2.0 --a whole new era -- had arrived. I felt left behind again, and so --as is my low tech custom -- I took many books from the library to see if I could catch up. There are Dummy books, thank goodness! There is WordPress for Dummies, U-Tube for Dummies, and many others. Sometimes I have over 20 books checked out.
I became acutely aware that the gates of opportunity have opened, and the gatekeepers are losing power. What do I mean?
A gatekeeper controls access to something, like the city gate. A gatekeeper decides who is going to be blessed with a contract for a book, an assignment for a newspaper, a gig on a network comedy show, a recording deal for musical performance, even a job. Now people are writing blogs, self-publishing e-books as well as hard copies, doing U-tube stand-up comedy gigs, making independent music videos, using streaming video and podcasts to teach all kinds of courses, or becoming Permalancers, who work on different projects for flexibility and control.
These changes have been amazingly rapid, brought about by the tech innovations such as the i-pod, i-phone, i-pad, Facebook, Twitter, blogosphere, U-tube, e-books, Kindles and more.
While I was taping numbers on the backs of my telephone land lines, the net generation was changing the world. The Boomers and Gen-X are already old hat, and the recent generation is breathing apps, wigits, blogs and vlogs like oxygen. Connectivity and collaboration are big.
I’m not even a Boomer -- I’m pre-Boomer. Yet I’m fascinated with all the changes, AND all the opportunities.
One aspiring author, who had nine young adult books rejected by traditional publishers, decided to experiment with a 99-cent e-book on Amazon. She sold books, gained a following, offered other books at higher prices, and eventually became a millionaire. She may be an exception...but also an inspiration. Young Justin Bieber became a sensation through his U-tube videos and went on to become a mega singing star.
Billionaire Peter Thiel, of PayPal and Facebook fame, wrote an article, “The Education Bubble,” in which he criticizes the humongous debt students and parents are taking on for the college degrees required by employer gatekeepers. That may change if the Un-college movement gains strength.
Thiel’s controversial and very competitive program, “20 Under 20,” offers $100,000 to young people who drop out of school for two years to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. One Thiel Fellow, 19-year-old Dale J. Stephens, is the author of an upcoming book, Hacking Your College Education. He has a web site called Un-college.
So what does all this have to do with Religious Science? Ernest Holmes says, “We are open at the top." We are open to new ideas. As the world changes around us, we can use our tools -- the Law of Attraction, Spiritual Mind Treatment, the power of our consciousness, our knowledge of our innate divinity -- to co-create with Spirit a life that we design and desire, a life that incorporates the best of what this new and changing world has to offer.
As he says:
“Today the possibilities of my experience are unlimited. The Spirit flows through me, inspiring me and sustaining that inspiration. I have ability and talent and I am busy using them. This talent is divinely sustained and marketed under a Universal plan of right action.”
So ask yourself: What talent, what passion, what strengths am I sitting on that could move through these open gates? Will I fling the portals of limitation wide and allow Spirit to express through me?
And so it is.

Divine Discontent
After a brief expression of crankiness, a friend indicated I may be experiencing "divine discontent"...a restlessness, perhaps creativity stirring within, a feeling of something bottled up and not being released, an undercurrent of creativity wanting an outlet.
The phrase spoke to me, and I wrote it down. With Google, I found a number of entries on the phrase.
On a blog, “Divine Discontent,” by Lisa A. Riley, she quoted Deepak Chopra: “Discover your own discontent, and be grateful, for without divine discontent there would be no creative force.”
She noted that religions and philosophies recognize the gift of Divine Discontent as a fountain of energy, which prompts us to grow and strive toward our full potential, to achieve a major breakthrough. Even after producing a creative work, we may feel a sense of lack and be driven to birth yet another new and important idea. If we welcome the presence of Divine Discontent we can allow it to be the incentive that drives us towards our creative potential.
By working with our divine discontent, we can tap into a productive source of energy instead of sinking into boredom or unhappiness.
As Thomas Edison said, “Discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.”
Years ago, when I was 24, a childhood friend my own age, with several children already, said to me: “Well, Mary Beth, you have one good year left.” So basically, life was over at 25? At the time, my divine discontent led me to join the Foreign Service, and I was off to Brussels, Belgium for great adventures.
That was 50 good years ago. It seems amazing that I’ve lived through so much of 20th century human history...World War II, Korean War, assassination of John F. Kennedy, the beginnings of television, computers, cell phones...all ubiquitous in today’s world. Marriage, children, widowhood, grandchildren, working life, ministry and more.
Lately, I’ve been questioning my life since my husband transitioned over four years ago. The divine discontent is arising as crankiness, boredom, and a still unfocused need for reinvention. So I’m observing...where do I put my energies with the greatest enthusiasm? Where, when and how do I feel most alive?
This summer I went to camp with my daughter and grandchildren...to Cazadero Family Performing Arts Camp, in the heart of the redwoods. By the end of the week I felt fabulous...was it the fresh air, the lack of cell phone towers and emfs, the camaraderie and creative expression? My focus was documenting the experience; I created a photo book, "Welcome to Cazadero" as a legacy project for my family. They love it.
Last weekend I drove to Pismo Beach to meet my son who drove down from Monterey, and we enjoyed a lovely weekend. Thursday I went with a friend to Santa Barbara to enjoy and photograph butterflies at the Natural History Museum. Again, the beauty of the surroundings...the ocean especially, was energizing and invigorating.
I definitely feel better when I am engaged in creative expression....for me, photography, and enjoying nature and camaraderie with others.
Sometimes divine discontent can challenge us to look at our Spiritual life, our own connection to the Divine within. We can listen to our own heart for answers of who to be, where to go, what to do next. We have the answers; we are never farther from happiness, peace, creativity and fulfillment than from our own inner being, our own intuition.
I’m seeing my divine discontent as a normal quality of being human, and know it is part of the creative process that fuels achievement and healthy change. My discontent opens a channel to receive God’s ideas through me, for me, as me.
As Theosophical Society leader Gottfried de Purucker wrote in The Esoteric Tradition:
"Everything grows and yearns to grow greater, to become grander, to rise, to advance, to evolve, and the objective is to become at-one self-consciously with the Boundless — something which never can be reached! Therein is infinite beauty, for there is no final ending for growth in beauty and splendor and wisdom and love and power. The Boundless Universe is our home."
So today, ask yourself? Am I bored, or restless, or discontented? What divine idea is waiting to be expressed through me?
And so it is.

Attracting a Loving Relationship
Happy Valentine's Day! Thoughts of love and romance are in the air. Candy, flowers and gifts are sent and received in the name of St Valentine.
Exactly who WAS this mysterious St. Valentine? Legend says that he was a priest in the time of Emperor Claudius II in third century Rome. Claudius decided that single, rather than married, men were better suited for battle. So he outlawed marriage for young men...his potential pool of soldiers. Valentine rebelled against this decree, and performed marriages for young lovers in secret. But once discovered, he was imprisoned and sentenced to death.
While in prison, the legend goes, he fell in love with the jailer's daughter and sent her a farewell letter before he was beheaded...he signed it "from your Valentine." Thus...the first Valentine.
And his day...Valentine's Day...is, of course, associated with passionate love and finding one's right and perfect mate.
I wondered what Ernest Holmes had to say about love. In the Science of Mind text, I found this quotation from the Gospel of John:
"Love is an essence, an atmosphere, which defies analysis, as does Life Itself. It is that which IS and cannot be explained...The essence of love, while elusive, pervades everything, fires the heart, stimulates the emotions, renews the soul and proclaims the spirit. Only love knows love, and love knows only love."
Isn't that great! But what if someone says, "I just want a girl friend, or a boy friend." Does this apply?
Yes, says Ernest Holmes. Use the Law of Attraction. Let's attract the kind of relationship we desire. Imagine the ideal relationship...but not a specific individual. Don't outline; let the Universe do that work.
For an enduring, true, really worthwhile relationship, he says, cultivate an attitude of love. We attract to us what we first become. Send out love vibrations; then we'll receive love in return. In order to be loved, be loving. And as John said: Love knows love.
Frederick Bailles, in Basic Principles of Science of Mind, writes there are literally ten thousand individuals with whom we could be happy. But those ten thousand would have the same hidden something that is the basis of true, mutual appeal.
Infinite Mind knows where each person is, and the hidden currents of Its activity are in motion to bring us together with our right and perfect love.
So how would we put this into a Spiritual Mind Treatment? Here's what I came up with:
There is one Creative Intelligence everywhere present. It is the Creator that creates all. It creates me, flows through me, supports me and expresses as me. I am Creative Intelligence in action.
I have within me all the confidence, charisma, compassion and understanding to draw to myself a deep, satisfying and loving relationship with a loving, committed mate. I radiate the qualities I want in another person. I know that somewhere there is someone who needs and wants a loving relationship with me. I connect with a committed relationship that is mutually beneficial, mutually fulfilling and mutually loving. We are intuitively in harmony; we love and enjoy each other just as we are. Infinite Mind moves beneath the surface to bring us together.
I gratefully receive and give thanks for this right and perfect relationship, and more. I release my word into the Universe...knowing it is already so. And so it is.
I like this treatment because it is so positive, and stresses the mutual nature of the relationship. It's not getting something, but giving and receiving.
Does it work? About two years ago I worked with a young man (who gave me permission to talk about this) who indicated that he was ready for love and marriage, but feeling discouraged and lonely. I decided to treat every night that he would attract a loving relationship. One treatment can be enought, but Ernest Holmes also says to keep treating until we demonstrate that which we desire.
Before long I received an email, "I've hit it off with someone. We have a lot in common." And now I have received a "Save the Date" card for a wedding set for August.
Of course, finding the soul-mate is just the beginning. Relationships change, expand, take new forms, and go through different stages. They need cultivation. The web of any relationship is made in day-to-day, side-by-side living. It is woven in space and time of the substance of life itself.
The best relationship is that of two fully developed individuals, who are able to dance perfectly in tune to the same rhythm.
To quote Aristotle: "Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." And so it is.

Choices
"We cannot live a choiceless life," Says Ernest Holmes in his text, Science of Mind. "Every day, every moment, every second, there is choice. If it were not so, we would not be individuals. We have the right to choose what we wish to experience. We have a right to choose what we shall induce in Mind. We concentrate our attention. The Law creates the form."
A while ago, I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer, and I wasn't certain what the outcome was going to be for me. I decided to take some graduate psychology courses, and I was particularly interested in hypnotherapy and the mind-body connection.
In one class exercise, the instructor guided us with his voice as we went into a relaxed state, descended some stairs and came to a door. Then we opened the door and had an experience personal to us.
When I opened the door, I saw a lattice, and beyond that a beautiful garden with many large green plants and huge yellow flowers. A Japanese woman, wearing a coolie type hat, was working in the garden. I went up to her, and she pointed to a white picket fence at the edge of the garden. Beyond the fence was a shrouded figure, and behind him wild, turbulent waves pounded the cliff and the sky was dark and stormy.
I knew intuitively the figure was death, and I had to go over there. As I opened the gate, the figure pointed silently to a path along the cliff. I knew I had to go...and go alone.
The path was gray and misty, and I walked on. I felt somewhat calm as I walked, realizing that this task was doable, and I could do it.
Then I heard the voice of my instructor saying, "And now we'll return to the room." Well, I whipped down the path, past the shrouded figure and the Japanese woman, through the door and up the steps.
Back in the room, we shared our experiences. the instructor said to me, "You were brave to go over there." And I said: "I didn't think I had a choice."
For our homework, we were to do the experience again. This time we were to create a different ending.
So at home I went into a relaxed state, down the stairs, and into the garden. I went up to the Japanese woman and said: "I want to work awhile in the garden."
And she said, pointing to the shrouded figure, "He has patience. He will wait."
At that moment, the shrouded figure began to dissolve, and behind him the seas calmed down, and the sky turned to pink and gold...like sunset at the ocean.
I've been working in the garden...some fifteen years now. And I really believe that I made a choice that day. As Ernest Holmes says: "The Father's House is always open, the latch is ever hanging out, the door always ajar, but man must enter, if he wishes to abide within."
And so it is.

The Great Unstructured Emptiness
I've been semi-retired for a number of years, and I know there are ups and downs along with the freedom that comes with retirement. I know people in their sixties and seventies who are afraid to retire.
Much of the media coverage of retirement focuses on financial matters...how are people going to retire with the financial meltdown of the past few years that has decimated peoples' 401(k)s and other investments?
For some people, money is NOT the concern They can afford to retire, but wonder: "What will I do on Monday morning?" They are facing what my son has called "the great unstructured emptiness."
My thirtysomething son is far from retirement, but has worked in a nunber of settings as a theoretical mathmatician. Some of this required solving complex problems in splendid isolation and unstructured time. To get results, he needed to be energized, motivated and directed. He has used "rechargers" to keep up his emotional stamina. These could be as simple as reading the comics or throwing a Frisbee, but the most effective "rechargers" involve interactions with other people. These could be "kilijoys" -- little bursts of joy, which keep one sane, happy, and on track.
The "great unstructured emptiness" can be compounded by the single state. With widowhood, I find myself alone in the silence quite a bit. Easy sharing of those everyday moments of communication about the mundane events of life -- gone, as is my life partner. There's an empty space now, and I must work to fill it.
How do we carve out a meaningful, fulfilling, rewarding life from the "great unstructured emptiness"?
I know I am the creator of my own experience. I know there is a power for good in the Universe and I can use it. I know I can use the Law of Attraction to attract what I think about, and I can support those thoughts and intentions by taking appropriate action. I can "treat and use my feet."
So I take three simple, yet demanding steps: 1. Identify what it is I really, truly want. 2. Identify what's holding me back. 3. Move forward.
Now, identifying what I truly want and my personal blocks may take time and effort. I enlist whatever help I need in the process. Having training and experience as a career and life design coach, I may hire my own coach. I use Spiritual Mind Treatment, or affirmative prayer, to treat for clarity, focus, confidence, and determination to stay on track. As I develop my own personal life map, I ask and answer these questions:
What are my cherished values? My unmet needs? What do I desire to attain? Who do I desire to be? Who and what are my love sources...my energy sources...my fun and pleasure sources? Do I have tolerations to zap? Strengths to tap? Unused talents to express? A past to complete? A legacy to create?
What else do I need to know? To do? Who do I need to meet? Do I want to attract a new loving relationship in my life? And how? Is it time to try out something as foreign as online dating?
As I visualize the big picture, I speak my word into the Law of Mind. I set my intentions to support my truth. I know the Universe supports my desires, and I move forward with excitement, with exuberance, with clarity focus, joy and ease...to challenge the "great unstructured emptiness."
And so it is.
I Enjoy Financial Prosperity
There is one Universal Spirit, one Creative Mind that creates all. It creates me, supports me and expresses through me, as me. I am one with Universal Spirit, and I allow It to flow through me with no resistance. It is the unlimited Source and Supply of all that is. I open my heart to receive and appreciate Its lavish abundance.
Spirit provides all that I need and more. I align my thoughts with that perfect, unlimited Power of the One and know that I am the beneficiary of unlimited abundance. The wealth of Source flows freely through me and supports me with financial prosperity. My consciousness of wealth expands daily; everything I touch prospers. I bring love and a positive attitude to everything I do. I stand in the midst of eternal opportunity, which is forever presenting me with evidence of its full expression. I radiate health, wealth, love, creative expression, happiness and joy. My consciousness is wide open to the Resources of the Universe, which flow unimpeded through me. I am a magnet to my higher good; money flows in my life; I am prosperous. My money is a source of good for myself and others; my prosperity prospers others as well as myself.
I speak as a person of power and authority. I know the Universe powers and supports my requests for financial abundance, and I know that Divine Principle manifests all the good that I desire by right and perfect action. Anything that may be resisting the forward movement or action of good in my life is dissolved. I accept my good and choose to live an abundant life.
I gratefully receive and give thanks for all this good and more flowing into my experince. I release my word into the Universe, knowing it is already so.
And so it is.

I Enjoy Restful, Rejuvenating Sleep
There is now and always only One--One Creative Mind, One Divine Intelligence, One Universal Power, One Life. That Life is my life now. That Mind is my mind now. I am an individualized expression of that Divine Intelligence, that Universal Power. I am one with the All in All.
I declare that the Mind that created my body is the Mind that maintains my mind and my body. It knows exactly what to do to keep me in good health and a calm, peaceful state of mind. I release all tension and allow great inner peace to fill my entire being. I release all worry, stress and strain. My mind is quiet, calm and still. I rest in the still silence of Spirit and know that I am divinely guided, directed, protected, supported and inspired in all that I am, all that I do, and all that I experience today and in the days to come. I fall asleep promptly each night and awaken refreshed and rejuvenated each morning. I accept restful sleep; I am at peace.
I gratefully receive and give thanks for my peace of mind, my deep rejuvenating sleep, and more. I release my word into the Universe, knowing it is already so.
And so it is.
