The Infinite Mind
This came in my "UCRS Daily Affirmations" and I liked it:

"God and I are one; in everything I do, my divine atmosphere goes before me, making straight and perfect my way. I enjoy clear thinking, clear knowing, and I understand that my own inner power impresses the infinite Mind as I think. My life unfolds beautifully, all things falling into place, just as they should."

I like the idea of "the Infinite Mind ." That's how I imagine "God," as both an energy and an Infinite Mind. My hubby jokingly calls "It" "the Unimind ."

I like the idea, from "Conversations with God," by Walshe, that this Infinite Energy was bored and divided itself up. Each one of us is a "segment" if you will, and our job is "to experience," with Spirit not being judgmental. So, we have to analyze "sin" or "a messup" as a mistake, straying from the path towards our goal.

What do you think? Is the Power within You?

1. Absolutely.
That daily affirmation describes my understanding of "God" perfectly, and makes a great morning meditation.

3. Yes
and I loved what you wrote. Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan said that we are like a drop of water from the ocean, rising up with the wave; we are the ocean, the ocean is us. This is my analogy of the Infinite Mind.

4. Amen. Sounds very Hindu,
yet very Democratic. "You have the power to take your country back."-Howard Dean
The power is God!
