We must learn to let go, to give up, so that we can make room for the things we have prayed for and desired. Dynamics for Living
Christ Enthroned – Cora Fillmore
When working under the light of Spirit, the faculty of renunciation or elimination establishes a freedom in the soul and the body consciousness that gives tone and strength and elasticity to the whole person. Letting go of the old in an orderly and decisive manner, at the same time laying hold of the new, engenders a sweetness and a lightness in the whole being.
Long before his crucifixion Jesus said: “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me (Matthew 16:24).” The self that Jesus taught must be denied is the grasping personality. It must let go its hold upon possessive ideas before there can be harmonious activity in the eliminative center. The forgiving love of Jesus Christ is not only a wonderful spiritual stimulant for soul and body, but it is also an important factor in the eliminative process. When the voice of Spirit within proclaims to you, “Thy Sins are forgiven,” it means that you have opened a way for the fulfillment of the law. There is a discarding of the personality and an increased activity of spiritual forces. There is an in rushing of the new and a letting go of the old. Just as the flower, unfolding its petal in the sunshine and drinking in new life and strength and beauty exhales that which is poisonous to it, so the whole Being when the law of forgiveness is satisfied, and draws new life and strength and power from the one divine sources and throws off the old.
We are born daily and we die daily. While some error thought may stick in our minds and hold fast for a season, whenever new light is born in consciousness, the old error thought loses its grasp and falls away. This life activity is illustrated beautifully in nature – in a tree for example. Throughout the summer months, the leaves drink in new life, which they instinctively feel is preparation; and they store up in the trunk and branches new energy for next year’s unfoldment. When autumn comes, and their work is accomplished, the leaves fall off, making way for the new. But here and there an old dead leaf holds on, refusing to give way to the blustery winds and cutting sleet. But when spring comes, and the first tiny green shoots appear beneath the clinging hand, the old leaf loses its hold and follows its comrades.
Denials
If we don’t like what is happening in our lives we can change it. We use the Power of wisdom to make the choice to change, and we use the Power of release to make the change by using denials. Denials ought not to be harsh, but we do want to feel the power of the denial. We want to firmly but gently say, “No!” to the things we are seeking to release. We soften denials by not resisting the negative situations in our lives. This calls for a trip into the secret Place, for it is only when we are centered that we can release the anger and the fear that make our denials strong. By ourselves we resist, fight and feel miserable. By going within we learn to use praise and thanksgiving to cleanse and free our whole being. I release that…. I let it go, and allow God’s prefect love to flow!

Brain Washing, by Schuyler Cronley, from Notes by a Skylark
We hear a great deal these days about the process of “Brain Washing”. It is not a new process, for ages, mankind has used it to force to others to believe whatever the user of that force would have them believe. In fact, Christian people are “Brain Washed” materialists who have come to believe in Jesus Christ to be the Almighty Power and Force of Truth. The difference is that Jesus the Christ does it by love, and light and an evolving process. We are all being “Brain Washed” daily by the beliefs of our families, the newspaper, the TV, the false appearances of our world, but once again the difference is in what we are brain washed with – truth or falsehood. Which do we accept and open our heart to? Divine Will or…

Speaking of Stars
Someone, I believe it was Emerson, once said: “Hitch your wagon to a star.” The difficulty in this for most people comes in trying to decide which star. The Star of Bethlehem is always a good one to start with – then you won’t have to hitch and unhitch so many times.
Who Do You Think You Are?
Many people have asked this question of one another a great many times and received many varied answers. If you want a real “Stumper” answer to this question the next time someone asks it of you, you could say, “I am a son of God” – Of course, there is only one catch to that, and that is that you have to live and act like one to prove it.
