The Quick Answer

My answer comes quickly and surely back to me from On High.

My answer will not fail me, for the Law of the Universe is the Power through which it comes.

I shall not doubt nor fear, for the answer is swift and certain.

My answer comes.

A Song of Joy

There is a Song upon my lips today; it sings of the glad heart and the happy ways of Life.

I will listen to my song, for it carols to me the glad tidings of Great Joy, of Love and Life.

It tells me of the Wondrous Journey of the Soul and the Boundless Life in which my life is hid.

I am filled with joy.

MEDITATIONS for Self-Help

By Ernest Holmes

No Misrepresentations

No one can misdirect; none can mislead me.

I am free from the belief in all lies and untruths;

I know and speak only the Truth, and the Truth alone can be spoken to me.

I know the false and can understand the Real

I cannot be fooled nor misled; I am guided by Truth alone.

There is no lie nor liar.

No Mistakes

There are no mistakes; none have ever been made and none will ever be made.

Nothing ever happened in the past to hinder or hurt.

There is no past, and I know, and can see, that there is no belief in any past to rise against me.

I live in the Now, free from any yesterdays or tomorrows.

Now, I am Happy, Free and Complete.

There are no mistakes.

There is nothing in me that can hinder this action from flowing through me.

The action of God is the only action.

Within Thy Law Is Freedom

O, My Soul within me, Great is Thy Presence

Within Thy Law is freedom to all who will believe.

I believe in Thy Law and I love Thy precepts.

I know that thy Law is perfect and It is a delight to my Soul,

for It is illumined with Thy Words of Power.

Thy Law is complete freedom to me, and to all for whom it shall be spoken.

I speak the Word of freedom to all, and all shall receive it.

I am free in Thy Law.

Beauty

I behold the Beautiful and the Pleasant.

My eyes see only that which is beautiful to look upon.

I will not see anything else nor believe in anything else.

I know that beauty has entered into my life, and will always remain there.

I see only the beautiful.

My Business

My business is directed by Divine Intelligence.

The All-Knowing Mind knows what to do and how to do it.

I do not hinder, but let It operate in my affairs.

It prospers and directs me and controls my life.

My affairs are managed by Love, and directed by Wisdom, 

and they cannot fail to prosper and expand.

My affairs are in His hands.

A Treatment for Alcoholism or Other Drug Addiction

There is but one Universal Life, God or Spirit.  This Universal Life is a principle of perfect harmony and right action.  It is an omnipresent and self-knowing principle, whole and complete within Itself.  It is forever calm and peaceful.  It is, therefore, a principle of complete satisfaction which knows no unsatisfied desire.  The only appetite or desire of Infinite Mind is for the complete manifestation of Its own constructive contemplation. 

My life is a part of this Universal Life; Its peace, calm and satisfaction are manifesting in and through me now in absolute perfection.  My spirit, being one with Universal Spirit, has nothing to desire or long for - save the natural expression of peace, poise and complete satisfaction.  That subjective race-thought, which speaks to me as limitation or a desire for abnormal stimulation, has no answering or recognizing voice within me.  I turn from all such inharmonious thoughts toward the reality of my oneness with Universal Life (the Father) realizing here in the formless Realm of Reality, the complete satisfaction of knowingness, the senses of calm well-being, wisdom and understanding.  Here within the Realm of Reality (the Kingdom of God) I sense the truth of my complete mastery over all things.   My body is that concept of Universal Mind which is composed of the Creator's perfect ideas (God's body).  Within the form, which is commonly termed the human body, is nothing which can speak to me, demanding anything whatsoever.  I dwell within the Realm of the Universal and declare that the calm and complete satisfaction of the Self-Knowing God is expressing in and through me, unhindered and unopposed.

I go forth with a complete sense of mastery in the realm of form (my earth experience) unafraid, happy and joyous in my expression of all that is desirable and constructive; knowing that all destructive desires and inharmonious thoughts disappear and dissolve into the nothingness from which they came, having no power to perpetuate themselves, since they are neither person, place nor thing.

I Do Know the Truth and I Am Free

Oh, for a Tongue to Express

Oh, for a tongue to express the Wonders which the Thought reveals!

Oh, for some Word to comprehend the boundless idea!

Would that some Voice were sweet enough to sound the harmony of Life.

But Within, in that vast realm of thought where the Soul meets God, the Spirit knows.

I will listen for that Voice and It will tell me of Life, of Love and Unity.

Speak to me, Spirit.

O Soul of Mind, Look Out and See

O Soul of mine, look out and see; look up and know Thy freedom.

Be not cast down nor dismayed; be uplifted within me and exult, for Thy Salvation has come.

Behold the wonders of the Great Whole and the marvels of the Universe.

Look out and see Thy good.  It is not afar off, but is at hand.

Prepare Thyself to accept and believe; to know and live.

Let Life enter and live through Thee, Soul of mine, and rejoice that Thou hast vision so fair and so complete.

Rejoice that the Perfect Whole is so completely reflected through Thee.

My light has come.

The Mantle of Love

Like a cloak His Love is wrapped around me. 

Like a warm garment, It shelters me from the storms of life.

I feel and know that an Almighty Love envelops me in Its close embrace.

O Love Divine, My Love, how wonderful Thou art.  I am open to receive Thy great blessing.

Love envelops me.

The Voice of Truth

The Voice of Truth speaks to me and through me.

The Voice of Truth guides me and keeps me on the Path of the Perfect Day.

I will listen to the Innver Voice and It will tell me what to do in the hour of need.

I shall be told everything that I ought to know when the time of need arrives, and I shall not be misled.

The Voice of Truth cannot lie, but always speaks to me from On High.

Nothing enters but This Voice, for it is the Voice of God.

God speaks to me.

MEDITATIONS for Self-Help and Healing

Ernest Holmes

"In these short meditations I have tried to set forth some ideas which my experiences in mental healing have given me.  I have found that a few brief statements, mentally affirmed, followed by a silent meditation, have been the most effective in the healing work.

Most of these meditation have been written in the first person in order that those using them may be able to do so just as the are written.

It is not claimed that there is any occult power in the words, but that words similar to these are effective in inducing a greater realization of life.

First, decide which meditation you wish to use; then become quiet and composed.  Then carefully read the meditation several times, phrase by phrase, endeavoring to realize the meaning of the words and trying to enter into the atmosphere of the thought.  After having done this, meditate upon the words, following that meditation until you feel a sense of realization."

Subtle Essence of Spirit Within Me

Subtle Essence of Spirit within me, flowing through me;

Elixir of Life in my veins purifying me with Thy marvelous Life,

I let Thy Spirit cleanse me from all false thought and idea;

I let Thy Life flow through me in a complete and Perfect Whole.

I feel the presence of Spirit within me.

The Everlasting Arms

His Arms enfold me, His Strength upholds me,

His Presence fills me with Life and Joy.

I shall nevermore be sad nor depressed, for I know that I do not walk Life's path alone.

There is One Who goes with me and tells me all the things that I should know.

There is a Presence with me guiding me into the Perfect Way.

I rejoice in knowing that I am not alone.

Seeing the Perfect

My eyes behold the complete and perfect in all Creation, "In all, over all and through all."

I see the perfect; there is nothing else to see, and no suggestion of otherness can enter my thought.

I know only the perfect and the complete.

I am perfect and whole, now.
