Thinking Becomes Experience

A few bullet points to jog the memory of those who attended service Sunday, April 28, 2013   -   To read the full text, click here.

·        Many people approach their lives as though the events of the day are going to dictate whether or not they’re going to feel good or bad about the day at any given moment.

·        Unity teaches that our way of thinking creates the experience of our life.

·        No circumstance, condition or person can “make” us feel this way or that.

·        How we feel in response to anything is up to us.

·        When we identify someone or thing as the cause of what we’re feeling, we give our power away to that someone or thing.

·        Do you want to live a powerless life?

·        Do you believe in the possibility that your way of thinking creates the experience of your life may be true?

·        Have you ever experimented with changing your thinking and observing how your experience changes?

·        All too frequently when conditions don’t seem to be falling into place – according to our expectations – we suddenly drop our whole spiritual outlook, cycle back into negative emotions and then carry those negative emotions forward into a negative experience.

·        “Attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.” Winston Churchill.

·        Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of Unity healed herself from an illness and her lifelong belief that she would always have that illness. She did this using prayer and meditation after she changed her way of thinking about her condition.

·        There is biology to our belief.  What we believe not only effects us mentally and emotionally, but the work of Dr. Bruce Lipton demonstrates it also affects us physically.

·        Really understanding, that our way of thinking creates the experience of our life is a light that will illumine, enliven, and bring clarity to:

o       Affirmative prayer

o       Forgiveness

o       Self-awareness

o       Our relationship with others, the world, our health, and

o       Our awareness of the Presence of God

·        This week, if you’re willing, trying up-leveling your thinking when you find yourself in negativity and see how your experience changes.
