Love is the fulfilling of the Law - (Rom 13:10) Newcomers to Truth often put so much effort into being positive that they forget about love. Nothing can be achieved in Truth without love. Love is our acknowledgement of the oneness and supremacy of God, that nothing real opposes us or could possibly oppose us. Therefore we have no grounds for fear and its variations - anger, envy, possessiveness, vengefulness. Love is a light always available to us but which we have to switch on. As night yields its imagined terrors to brightening dawn, so does all negation fade from our lives. There is no need for us to resist conditions, circumstances or persons. None can prevail. All dangers are illusions. This may sound like the height of wishful thinking. It cannot be argued or proven from afar. You have to enter Love to demonstrate it. Love is Law that cannot do other than fulfil Itself. The Path of Truth Vol. 53, No. 3 page 170.
Love in me overcomes all negation

Letter from Wenda - The Invisible Essence
Spiritual Power is defined as the dynamic quality of that invisible essence of life, intelligence, and Law which we call God or First Cause. The conscious use of this Power comes from the recognition that It actually exists, really responds to us; that we can directly contact It and definitely use It.
That there is such an invisible essence of life is evident throughout all of nature, the visible side of which but proclaims this invisible essence. Objective nature, our own bodies included, is a phenomenon of the invisible Cause which we call Spirit.
Man is an incarnation of this invisible Cause, not by choice, but rather by the Law of Life. As man touches his own thought, he touches It. He touches It with power, not because he wills this power to be, for this power is. This is the nature of the Universe. The Universe consists of will and representation. This Will is intelligent knowingness; its representation is creation.
The Will of Spirit, or the universal Will, must be goodness, truth and beauty. As we imbibe Its nature, we come into Its harmony. The Divine doesn’t come to us bringing an olive branch of peace with which to allay our confusion. The Divine knows no confusion. It persists in remaining true to its own nature.
The Will of God is peace. Only the finite is confused; the Infinite remains certain of Itself.
As we enter the atmosphere of peace, our confusion vanishes. This is not done through objective power, not by might, but through a realisation and an embodiment of that Presence which transcends confusion.
Friday Mediation with Wenda - In God I Trust
A complete trust in God, an acceptance that God is the only Reality and the only Power, is the way my self-discovery can be complete. No matter what the appearance may be, I know that within me, around me and about me is the Love and Law of the Infinite – One Presence and One Law, which we call God.
Our personal recognition of the One Life makes it possible for Its Power and Perfection to flow through us more fully and become our daily experience. No matter how far I may have missed the mark, or how long I have persisted in the ignorance of our true relationship with God, today I begin to trust It.
I place my faith so completely and so absolutely in the belief that there is no power opposed to God that I shall know this truth today. God’s nature is always, for the good of His creation.
So it is and so it will be

Letter from Wenda - How Creative Thinking Works
The great exploration which the mind makes into the realm of spiritual healing is as fascinating an experience as anyone will ever have. We must be careful, however, to differentiate between this form of thinking and mere daydreaming. In daydreaming one sits around longing for things, and picturing oneself as having them, but in the very same moment being certain it could never be, letting one’s imagination run wild, soaring into realms of fancy.
Some people have done this and upon being told that they had not proceeded properly, have exclaimed: “But we understood that we could have anything we wished.”
In spiritual mind practice a person does not just “wish’ for things. He consciously uses his thought to set creative Power in motion and then accepts with expectancy the result. He is, in a certain sense, experimenting not with Mind Itself, but with his own thought, in seeing what use he can make of the creative Power of Mind.
This Creativeness we do not inject into Mind; it is already there, a natural Law in the universe.
In spiritual treatment the person thinks of himself as he would like to be. He should do this without contradicting the good of others, without seeking to coerce others. And he should do this in as absolute sense as is possible; that is, he should withdraw from any contemplation of the relative facts in the case and think only of the desired outcome as being established in Mind.
He takes the proposition which his mind can encompass – such as realising that he is surrounded by abundance and by right opportunity – and compels his mind to accept this idea as now being a fact in his everyday experience.
Consequently, his work is intensely practical, and even though he is an idealist, he is scientific in his application of this universal Principle of Mind to the problems of his daily living.

Friday Meditation with Wenda - Health is mine, here and now
You can be healed! You can be lifted up and out of your present circumstances! It can happen to you! There is a tremendous Power available to you right here and right now.
This is the Power of God which is always present, always available, and forever waiting to be expressed.
What is the key to this Power? The key is in your choice to make a change in your thinking – and that change can be made right now!
Are things not going well? Are things in your life not working in your best interest?
Why do you think these “things” are happening to you? Can you accept the possibility that the healing of all manner of situations both physical and mental, rests in the realm of Mind? You are surrounded by Infinite Mind… and it is ready to work for you, through you, right now!

Weekly Quote 65 - with commentary from the School of Truth
Your peace is ever with me, dear Father
Peace is like joy - it is the hand of our Father resting on our shoulder as we traverse the hills and valleys of life, assuring us that all is well. We do not have to "find" peace, it is ever available, even in the tumult of our day. Our Father is not disturbed by any thoughts, feelings and actions which do His work.
"Thou dost keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee" was the joyous cry of the prophet Isaiah. Peace to the navigator in a storm who tells us that we are on course and clear of all hazards. It may bewilder others to see us thus, like the humourous office poster which says "If you can keep your head amidst all this you do not understand the situation."
It is in the nature of our attunement to God that we do not wait for Him to bring us things. Instead we become those things. We take one step towards Him and he runs out to meet us. In your meditations feel His peace, feel it during your day, and recall it should it temporarily become distant.
