The Power of Prosperity, X12
The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity, Chapter 11
"Poverty is a universal fear of mankind, and many people today are experiencing financial lack, despite the unprecedented prosperity of our times." Catherine Ponder
It is so easy in today's world with all the news about how bad the economy is, to buy into being in debt to have what you want or need. But once you learn the power that you release through prosperous thinking, it will dawn on you that the possibility of financial independence isn't to far-fetched after all. You will realize that it isn't just meant for the other person; it is meant for you too. To help you gain financial independence on a steady basis, I invite you to take a look at Catherine's formula:
Get quiet, meditate, and ask the Source of all being if there is any reason you should not become financially independent. (This action will remove all uncertainty from your mind, for it is uncertainty that delays success.)
Having decided to achieve financial independence and having a sense of peace about it, create a mental picture of the highest degree, which you wish to experience. Mentally image the amount of in-come you wish and how you will live when you are independent. Build a detailed mental picture of financial independence. Think of the kind of home you wish to live in, the type of clothes you wish to wear, the activities you wish to experience, the places you wish to visit.
Build the mental picture of what you really want, not what someone else wants you to have, or what you think it is your duty to have--but quietly image what you would like to achieve. Your life is a divine gift for you to live, not for someone else. Build mental pictures upon that and nothing less.
Say little to anyone about your vision, because others will tell you how they think you should live. Keep your success plans to yourself. Do not dissipate them, or subject them to cross-currents, by giving others a chance to tear your vision apart.
Proceed as you feel led to take action toward your vision of financial independence. Do whatever little or big things you can to gain the feeling that you are on the way. Set a time limit and plan to achieve certain things within six months, others within a year, and others within two years. Set a date when you plan to achieve complete financial independence.
Do not become anxious, excited, or emotionally upset if affairs do not produce the results you desire. Do not try to force or hurry the vision. Anxious and forced states of mind produce results that are seldom satisfactory, and they can be most discouraging and destructive.
Quietly continue to persevere in making your mental image of financial independence come forth, in whatever ways are revealed to you. Remind yourself that you are working with the rich substance of the universe. Nothing can prevent your success from manifesting, as you keep thinking and working toward it.
Know that your dreams of financial independence have already come true on the spiritual plane in this moment now. Your great good is waiting in the invisible ether ready to be made visible. You can do so by declaring: "Divine Substance, give me this now in Your own perfect way. Or Divine Substance, now meet this demand in Your own perfect way. It is mine now and quickly manifests in satisfying ways." Never say, "It can never happen," but instead: "This, or something better, now manifests."
Remind yourself, that if others have attained financial independence, so can you. What one has done, many can do. What can be done in small degree can, with persistence, frequency and earnestness, be done in unlimited ways.
Remind yourself, that every good thing already exists in the realm of substance. Through your high expectancy, mental images, and prosperous thought and action, you become master of the realm of substance, and can bring forth whatever you wish from it. The history of the world shows that every mental demand of man has been met. Make yours now. Stick to it and you will succeed!
It may not happen overnight, yet it can. It will happen if you dare to persist in expecting, envisioning, and mentally accepting the idea of financial independence for yourself and all people. At first, it may take some effort on your part to begin believing success is possible for you, but the fruits of that effort will make it worth every prosperous thought held, every vision entertained, every rich mental picture you have built.
Declare: “Every day in every way I am becoming financially independent, with the help of God." It will surely come!
This Ministry is supported by individuals like you, whom it serves, and by other freely given gifts of the Universe. God Bless you for your Support

One very creative part of the TE Program is the Story Crafters. This team of individuals has been taking pictures and creating digital video. Together they have created the most awesome video of our vision, mission and core values, Wow! It is now on YouTube. To watch it go to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTQFQdZNgZ0 , or once on YouTube look up Unity OKC. The Association of Unity Churches somehow got wind of the video and showed it at our conference in San Diego.

Love’s Presence
Namaste = the love in me greets the love in you! Namaste, this greeting that we use each week says it all. You see, we are immersed in God’s Presence. Like fish in the ocean, we live, move and have our being immersed in Love’s Presence, the Divine energy of our life, but we unfortunately don’t often recognize it.
Love flows forth from deep within us, like the living water that Yvonne talked about last week. It flows through us, but we can’t feel it or know it, until we recognize it in ourselves and share it with others. If we really knew and could recognize that every interaction we have with others is “either love or a call for love?” How would it change your life, what would you be like and look for?
Once, a little boy rode across town on a city bus, and was huddled up very close to a well-dressed lady and was swinging his legs back and forth, out into the aisle the way kids often do, when he accidentally bumped his shoes against a woman sitting across the aisle from him. Oops, as you might guess she got a little upset and spoke directly to the well-dressed woman he seemed to be snuggled up against, "Pardon me mam, but would you please tell your little boy to keep his feet to himself?"
The well-dressed woman looked at the boy as if she wasn’t even aware he was there. She then shoved him out into the aisle saying, "He's not my boy. I've never even seen him before."
Embarrassed, the little boy moved to another seat where he tried to hide. It was obvious the boy was fighting back his tears. He looked at the lady whose dress he had soiled and said, "I'm so sorry I bumped you; I didn't mean to."
When the woman saw what the scolding had done, she felt badly about how she’d responded, saying, "Oh honey, that's all right. Are you going somewhere alone?"
The boy lowered his head and answered,
