Anne Tabor is the senior minister at Unity of Arlington, Texas. Bonnie and I stayed in the parking lot with the RV for a week.

Anne consistently offers insightful messages and does not shy away from many of the issues challenging America in recent years.

The message this week was refreshingly positive and insightful.

It was exactly the message I needed to hear

And funny, as the talk starts with television commercials and the title is based on the Palmolive Dish Soap ads that feature Madge, the manicurist.

Here are some of the golden insights from Anne’s message.

There is a lie that acts like a virus
within the mind of humanity

“There is a lie that acts like a virus within the mind of humanity.

And that lie is there’s not enough good to go around.

There’s lack and there’s limitation and there’s just not enough.

But the truth is, there is more than enough good to go around.

There are more than enough creative ideas.

There’s more than enough power.

There’s more than enough love.

There’s more than enough joy.

All of this begins to come through a mind that is aware of its own infinite nature.

There is enough for everyone.

If you believe it.

If you can see it, you can act from it.

And when you act from it, it will show up.“

The Three Step Process Thet Jesus Taught

This is why our master teacher and our way shower Jesus offered us counsel in the Gospel of Matthew. He said,

1. Ask, and it will be given to you.
2. Seek and you will find.
3. Knock, and the door shall be opened for you.

— Jesus Christ
Gospel of Matthew

So please notice that in this very simple three-step process that Jesus is giving us, you know, it’s not all like loosey-goosey.

There are no ifs, and, or buts about it.

He’s very, very clear.

Step one, ask and it will be given to you.

But you got to ask. Right.

Step two, seek and you will find.

But you got to seek.

And step three, knock on the door. And it will be opened.

It doesn’t say, maybe.

Does it say maybe the door will be open for you?

Now, if the door doesn’t open, it’s not your door.

Electrical and Spiritual Energy

… the electrical device needs the electrical energy to flow through it and to function.

And so it is with God, you know, God by whatever name, you know God. Right.

It might be Holy Spirit, infinite and loving creator. 

It might be great universal spirit. It might be source, source, energy.

All that is.

There are many names for God.

Love is a name for God.

But God energy doesn’t depend on you.

You depend on God energy and you have to connect with it and allow it to flow through you and from you. 

So, you know, if you have one of these devices, unless there’s power flowing from it, it could be right in front of you.

But it’s not going to come to life until that energy is connected and activated.

So here’s how Unity co-founder Charles Fillmore wrote about this in his book Prosperity. He said,

‘Some people have some people, right?

Some people are like fish in the sea saying, where’s the water? 

And in the presence of spiritual abundance, they ask questions like:

Where will I get the money?

How will I pay the bills?

Will we have food or clothes or the necessities?

Plenty is here all around us. It lives in us and supplies us with all things according to our thoughts.

And when you have opened the eyes of spirit in yourself, you’ll see it. 

So Mr. Fillmore is just reminding us here that instead of asking, where’s the water, we need to realize that we’re like fish literally swimming in it.

All the time.

You’re soaking in it all the time. 

Think about it this way you can fish of the sea ever lack water in you know and likewise you who you know live move and have your being in the sea of God and the ocean of God.

You can never really lack for ideas or creativity or even infinite possibilities, right? 

It can only happen if you don’t mind your mind.

That can only happen if you don’t train your brain.

And it can only happen if you convince yourself otherwise.

Amen.

And so one of the best ways for you to manage your energy, if you’re ever feeling conflicted, is to simply test the waters by asking yourself,

Does this feel like I’m going upstream?

You know, like in my fighting the current, you know, am I having to work really hard at this?

Am I going against the current, the energy, or does it feel like I’m going down straight, you know, going with the current with ease and grace?

Because here’s the thing. 

Sometimes we just need to turn our boat around. Right.

You know, sometimes we realize that it’s just too much struggle.

That’s a sign.

That’s a sign.

It’s a big neon flashing sign to just turn your boat around. It’s a good old-fashioned change. You know, change.

Change your course. Right?

The changed the course of tennis.

Now Serena is changing the course of her life.

Infinite Wisdom Guides Me,
Divine Love Prospers Me

One last thing I want to share with you.

One of my favorite affirmations from Charles Fillmore.

And this is my go-to when I need a little help. Right.

Activating this is one of my favorite go-tos because it helps me remember that I’m soaking in it all the time.

Let’s just say that together.

I’m soaking in it all the time.

So take, take, take this. And I’m going to I’m going to read this a couple of times. 

Infinite wisdom guides me, divine love prospers me.
And I am successful in everything I undertake. 

Infinite wisdom guides me, divine love prospers me.
And I am successful in everything I undertake. 

Infinite wisdom guides me, divine love prospers me.
And I am successful in everything I undertake. 

And so it is.

So ends our message for today.

Thank you.
