WHAT
I BELIEVE
by Dr. Ernest Holmes
I
believe in God, the
Living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute and
self-existent cause. This One manifests Itself in and through
all creation but is not absorbed by Its creation. The manifest
universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary
outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.
I
believe in the
incarnation of Spirit in everyone and that all people are
incarnations of the One Spirit. I believe in the eternality, the
immortality and the continuity of the individual soul, forever
and ever expanding.
I
believe
that Heaven is within me and that I experience It to the
degree that I become conscious of it.
I
believe the ultimate
goal of life to be a complete emancipation from all discord of
every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.
I
believe in the unity
of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is
one God.
I
believe that God is
personal to all who feel this indwelling Presence.
I
believe in the direct
revelation of Truth through the intuitive and spiritual nature
of the individual, and that any person may become a revealer of
Truth who lives in close contact with the indwelling God.
I
believe that the
Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal
Mind, which is the Law of God; and that I am surrounded by this
Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of my thought
and acts upon it.
I
believe in the
healing of the sick through the power of this Mind. I believe in
the control of conditions through the power of this Mind. I
believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-Kindness,
and the eternal Giving-ness of Life to all.
I
believe in
my own soul, my own spirit and my own destiny; for I understand
that the life of all is God.
And So It Is.
Amen. |
