| Weekly Passage - for week of 2/3/19
"Take out a piece of money -- it makes no difference what its denomination is, whether a coin or currency -- and put it in front of you. Look at it. If you can see what I see, you will agree that it is as dead as a doornail -- inanimate and lifeless. "If you continue looking at this piece of money and proceed with your cogitations, your thought will eventually turn to where this money came from and how it came into your possession. Perhaps somebody gave it to you as an expression of love or gratitiude; or if you earned it, it represents somebody's payment to you for service of some kind. Then you may think of the use that will be made of it. As a piece of metal or paper, it has no value to you; but it can be used as a medium of exchange for marketing or purchases of one kind or another. You are now beginning to lose sight of this object as money and are gaining the vision of its function as something useful, loving, and generous. Soon your mind has gone beyond the money itself, and you begin to see why this money belongs to you. "Once you are able to look at money in this light, you will see that far from its supplying you, it is you who supply money with its capacities and power. By that time your mind has gone from the physical realm into the invisible, and peace descends, quiet comes, and a complete stillness in which you can receive an impartation from God in regard to the true interpretation of money." -- from Joel Goldsmith's "The Thunder of Silence" Return to the Weekly Passage Page |
