The Radiant I AM: A Self-Healing by Emma Curtis Hopkins
The listening disciple becomes a preaching apostle.
Standing at the Center of Being and looking outward over the world, instruction is received from every quarter. But who hath told himself that all the objects he beholds and all their movements also are but projections of his own judgment?
He seems always to be a learner and a seeker, till at the center of his consciousness the fact is suddenly proclaimed—that he himself produced the world as it appears.
Then he no longer listens to information from without; he authorizes from himself what he would see and hear and touch; even what he would know.
I have been a listening disciple. I have let people and objects and activities come toward me and impinge upon me till I have been overpiled and mountain-covered with thoughts.
But now I know that I AM at my own Center—authority over and through my universe—and I shall ordain my twelve disciples, or my twelve powers, to spread my Original Nature abroad till from me to the utmost stretches all is my Divine Ego.
It is the teaching that all is Spirit, and matter is not obedient shadow-picturing thereof, which is the final subtle message toward me—that makes me see that I AM what I AM and alter not.
Spirit is the gentle Mother doctrine among the doctrines of the world—gentle but inexorable.
She brings to exposure the Man Child, my I AM—who shall rule all nations with a rod of iron.
This is my ministry.
I am glad to give myself to my Self and to give all my world to my Self and let my Self do in judgment twelve works upon the earth.
I have heard all I shall ever hear.
I know all I shall ever know.
I now make my Self known.
I think this—
I speak this—
I write this—
I live this.
I AM the power of Life to the universe.
Because I live, all that hath form or name shall live.
There shall be no death nor fear of death throughout the boundaries of eternal spaces from this day forth.
I AM the power of Health to the universe.
Because I AM whole at my Center, I make whole wherever I decree.
There shall be joyous, fearless Health through this universe.
I AM the power of Strength to the universe.
I AM omnipotence.
There shall be no weakness.
There shall be no faintness.
There shall be lifting up.
I AM the power of Support to the universe.
There shall be no lack, no want, no disappointed effort.
I AM the sufficiency of my universe.
I AM the power of Protection.
All things are safe and secure.
The days of fear are past.
I AM the power of Mind.
An elixir of intelligence moves through all things.
There shall be no ignorance.
I AM the power of Speech.
I speak—and the universe uttereth itself.
I AM the power of Writing.
What I write, the world writes.
The written word fixes all things in their place.
I AM the power of Song.
I AM the Eternal Smile.
There is no sound but joy.
I AM the power of Skill.
All things move in perfect expression.
There is no incapacity.
I AM the power of Beauty and Judgment.
I set all things into balance.
And thus beauty reigns.
I AM the power of Heaven.
Heaven breaks upon all things—silently, completely, now.
My will is done—and it is Heaven.
I think this—
I speak this—
I write this—
I live this.
I AM what I AM.
