October - November
Emmet Fox E-Zine
Emmet Fox was once described as "a man always gathering wisdom from every area of
life." Fox stated" there
is a lesson in everyone we meet and in
everything we do." Emmet Fox drew wisdom from
all areas of life, from people,
experiences and great writings.
The
teachings of Emmet Fox highlight the importance of thanksgiving. The attitude
of thanksgiving opens the way for the fulfillment of our righteous desires. Fox
tells us "Thanksgiving is the action of both faith and love. Faith perceives the
good that is awaiting our claim; love unifies us with the good we desire in
body,
mind, and affairs"
July 1886 - August 1951
Your Own
Valuation Emmet Fox
The world will take
you at your own valuation. Your body will take you at your own
valuation.
Your business will take you at your own valuation; for your own value
is the
value that you really put upon yourself.
"Oh, but," you may say, "that cannot
be true, because I know several people who
are always boasting and
pretending and yet no one ever takes them seriously."
Please note that I said
the value you really put upon yourself. That important word
makes all the
difference in the world. People who boast, bluff, and pretend, have
really a
poor opinion of themselves-or why would they pretend? And it is this poor
opinion or sense of inferiority that is demonstrated in the failure that such
people
always make of their lives.
The man who really believes that his
wares are excellent does not dream of lying
about them. The man who is
satisfied with what he is, has no incentive to pretend
to be something he is
not. The man who is conscious of substantial achievement has
no desire to
boast.
Nature always takes you at your own valuation. Believe you are the
child of God-really
believe it. Believe that you express Divine Life, Divine
Truth, and Divine Love.
Believe that Divine Wisdom guides you. Believe that
God is your supply. Believe
that God is helping and blessing humanity through
you yourself. Believe that you
are a special enterprise on the part of God
and that He is opening your way-and
what you really believe, that you will
demonstrate.
This month and next offers a sacred opportunity to
live in appreciation. Autumn is a sacred
gift from God. Cherish every moment
of it. God is expressing through the turning
of the leaves, and the gentle
frost in the air. Embrace the magnificent beauty
of the season as you feel
the power of His presence. Happy Autumn.
"The roots of
all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness." -- Dalai Lama
Words of Wisdom
from Joseph Murphy
I know that my
faith in God determines my future. My faith in God means my faith in
all
things good. I unite myself now with true ideas and I know the future will be
in the image and likeness of my habitual thinking. "As a man thinketh in his
heart
so is he." From this moment forward my thoughts are on; "Whatsoever
things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are
lovely, and of good report;" day and night I meditate
on these things and I know
these seeds (thoughts) which I habitually dwell
upon will become a rich harvest
for me. I am the captain of my own soul; I am
the master of my fate; for my thought
and feeling are my destiny.
Our Country
By: Bess Darnell McKain
Let us not forget our country
On this
Thanksgiving Day;
Let us pause in thoughtful silence,
And then reverently
pray
That all nations will remember
That our strength came from above;
That we made our nation stronger
With our bonds of faith and love.
And
when the day is over,
May we always keep in mind
This love and faith that
binds us
To the hearts of all mankind.

If there is a high road to demonstration, it is
through praise and thankgiving.
Giving thanks for the good you expect from
your prayer is really another indication
of your faith. Jesus terminates the
magnificent "Lord's Prayer" with praise to God
- "For Thine is the Kingdom,
and the Power and the Glory."
Emmet Fox (From his essay Spiritual Resume)
The Magic of Praise ~ Frank B. Whitney
This Thanksgiving season, one in which people,
ordinarily not given to such thought,
find themselves engaged in praise and
Thanksgiving. After a day of counting their
blessings, rejoicing in their
prosperity, giving thanks for every evidence of God's
love and tender
protection, they find that they have made a definite step toward
a new
consciousness. The spirit of good cheer and the magical effect of the day
are
felt long after Thanksgiving Day has passed.
If you have not made a
demonstration, try praise. It will help you to see yourself
as you are seen
in God and to know yourself as God sees you. In praising another
you but
recognize what man can do; you recognize what you yourself are able to
accomplish.
Praise works such miracles that we may think of it as being
magical in its action.
Quite often in its work it seems to bring the
supernatural to bear upon situations
which appear unsolvable. We have seen
praise literally transform people and things.
We have seen it redeem one from
the very throes of disease and lack. Praise is a
magical something which
bears the same relation to a starved soul that water bears
to a dried-up
sponge. Praise coming from one in the consciousness of truth is always
a
blessing. If you are not pleased with your situation, begin to praise yourself
(silently), to praise your work, and to praise your life. Remove all thoughts of
criticism and condemnation from your consciousness. You will find that praise
will
regenerate your mentality, will renew your mental outlook, and will make
prosperous
all that you touch.
Prayer of Gratitude ~ Joseph Murphy
I give thanks sincerely and humbly for all the
goodness, truth, and beauty which
flow through me. I. have a grateful,
uplifted heart for all the good that has come
to me in mind, body, and
affairs. I radiate love and goodwill to all mankind. I
lift them up in my
thought and feeling. I always show my gratitude and give thanks
for all my
blessings. The grateful heart brings my mind and heart in intimate union
with
the creative Power of the Cosmos. My thankful and exalted state of mind leads
me along the ways by which all good things come. "Enter into his gates with
thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and
bless his name."
Mental
Law - Harvey Hardman
LAW governs all
mental action. When your mind moves, as in thought, the law of mind
acts. It
does not refuse to act when your thought is destructive, nor does it neglect
to act when your thought is constructive and in harmony with the principles of
right
action .. With infallible precision it acts to make effective your evil
and your
good thoughts alike. For the mental law is impersonal and impartial.
Your conscious
mind is the discriminating factor. Even as the ether of space
transmits perfectly
a poor radio program as well as a good one, so does the
mental law act with equal
impartiality in relation to all your thoughts and
desires.
When you know that you are always dealing with an infallible Law
on the mental plane,
you will govern your thoughts with scientific
understanding. This is the path to
personal power. It is the Law of the
Scientific Man.
Stake Your Claim
You can have true
success and happiness in life if you consistently put these truths into practice
in your daily living. It is your God - given duty to Stake Your Claim to peace,
poise, power,
prosperity and health - and God expects you to be satisfied with nothing less.

God is
blessing you, NOW
The spiritual or inner meaning of "Thanksgiving" is
more than Webster's definition of "an act of giving thanks." Thanksgiving is
more than the expression of our grateful thoughts to God, for His unending
blessings. Thanksgiving has to do with our spiritual attitude toward life. In 1
Thessalonians 5:18 we read, "In everything give thanks." Complaining is so easy.
We complain about our job, our family, the weather, our boss, our neighbors, the
kids, slow Wi-Fi, long lines, and so much more. Emmet Fox tells us that
Thanksgiving is "a joyous and enthusiastic acceptance." Thanksgiving then, is
not just a question of whether we are going to give thanks, it is a question
of what thoughts we will allow to rule us.
We are what we think. If our
thoughts are centered on what is not right in our life, we are setting ourselves
up for disappointments, failure & disharmony. Emmet Fox told his students to
pause during each day to name at least five things that are personal blessings
and then express thanksgiving! What a wonderful exercise for this holiday
season.
May the spirit of the up coming holiday season bring
you peace, the gladness of the holiday, give
you hope, and the warmth of the
holiday give you love.
