Who are you, really?  There is a distinction between the "self" with whom you identify in your everyday life (personality), and the eternal "Self" that is eternally a part of the Divine (individuality).  One of the most effective ways in which we can begin to know our Self and allow it to express more completely and consistently is through contact with God as we seek spiritual understanding.  

Just as a garden needs weeding and cultivation to produce its beauty, so do our mind and its conditioned responses require cultivation and attention to weed out thoughts that do not serve our higher good.  There are powerful tools available to us to "dig out" even the most stubborn thoughts!  Using Lessons in Truth, we will identify those tools for our immediate use.  

In New Thought, we learn and study the Principle that our thoughts are creative.  From health to finances to gossip and fear we know that "where our attention goes, energy flows" to create "more of" in our human experience.  Wouldn't it follow that we'd want to make sure our thoughts are going where we really want them to?

The greatest comfort that we have is knowing that we are forever one with Spirit, our source of life, love and inspiration.  By extension, we are one with all others and all life.  How shall we extend loving kindness and receive it without reservation?  How will our community identify itself to the larger one?  

Now that you're "mastering" the Law of Mind Action and the creative process, how do you respond when life changes the plan you thought you had in place?  Is it you, or is it Spirit?  The questions has only one answer, but it still puzzles us at times.  

One of the great principles from the New Thought movement is that your thoughts shape your experiences and reactions.  Now that you have your "White Stone word" for the year, you can incorporate it into your thinking.  Today is a new day - one of your own creation.
