Dr. James Mellon (00:00):
When I was a
senior in high school.
Well, yeah, really, someonejust went.
Oh God, it wasn't that long ago, yeah, it was 1972.
You too, yeah, that was the bighit tune that summer as we, as
we were going into senior week,that was the big hit tune and I
(00:23):
had all these great friends fromhigh school and, uh, the
theater department and thissports area too, um, yes, cause
I was a cheerleader.
Uh so, and we all went toAtlantic city, at no Wildwood,
new Jersey, for our senior weekand that song was blasting and
(00:44):
you know, and we all weredefinite with each other.
You know we will be there forthe rest of our lives, you know.
You know that turns out,although one of those guys is
still one of my best friends,who I see and talk to all the
time, and in fact his wife justtook bods.
So it was really cool to haveto have that, that thing come
(01:05):
full circle.
Um, so, as I looked at thissong, as I listened to this song
and certainly can we giveanother round of applause to
carol, do you know how blessedwe are to have two women, two
singers, two artists like thiswho, when they open their mouths
and sing, it's not just notes,it's an entire life that comes
(01:29):
through them when they sing.
I am so grateful to have thetwo of you so.
So I had to ask myself who do Ilean on now?
I mean, who do I lean on?
My husband, of course, kevinwill say I lean on him and he
leans on me, and I always talkabout Kevin being the shoulders
(01:51):
that I stand upon, and that'svery true.
But when I'm really in thatplace, who do I lean on?
What do I lean on?
So that takes me to my themelove in action.
It's one thing to know thisteaching, and I do know this
teaching.
I actually know this teachinglike the back of my hand.
I know what was taught and Iknow what is being taught now.
(02:19):
And I sit in the uncertainty ofwhat's being taught now and
what's being known now, and I'mwilling to be uncertain.
I'm willing to be in thattransition, that evolutionary
movement of this teaching.
So I know all of that, and it'sone thing to know it, but it's
another thing do I lean on it?
Do I really depend on it?
Does it activate me?
(02:41):
Does it answer the questionswhen I need those questions
answered?
Does it feel like armssurrounding me and holding me,
and that's what's reallyimportant.
So I'm going to start veryinterestingly today, swan, are
you going to push these or am Ipushing these?
I'll do them.
It is why you gave me this.
(03:03):
I want to start with thisspiritual mind treatment.
We don't talk enough aboutspiritual mind treatment, which
is basically Ernest Holmes'entire philosophy.
That's what he came here toteach.
Now, really, what he came hereto do is reteach what Thomas
Troward taught, who wasreteaching what Phineas Quinby
taught, who was reteaching whatJesus tried to teach.
(03:25):
That's kind of the progressionof this.
And now, for us, we arereteaching.
What does this actually meanscientifically?
Because it was all words before.
Now it's like no, it's actuallyall consciousness, and every
word that utters from your lips,backed by a belief, moves
(03:47):
energy.
So spiritual mind treatment isa movement of energy for a
specific purpose focusing themind on the absolute truth.
So, if you remember that, theslide we're using for this month
, there are two paths.
There's the absolute and therelative, and I know I'm going
to be dualistic in talking aboutthis, because it's all one
(04:08):
thing, but when we break it downin the human scale, there's the
absolute, which is this puretruth that's coming through you
from a quantum field.
And then there's the relativeEverything that's happening in
the world today, everything thathas happened in the past.
You have all those memories.
You know what's going on.
You're living in this relativeworld.
(04:28):
Things don't work out for youin relationships, they don't
work out for you in jobs, theydon't work out for you in health
.
That's the relative world andit gets a lot of our attention,
a lot, and we basically livefrom the attention we give those
things.
Thus the text I got this morningdealing with the relative world
(04:50):
and what's going on.
And how am I going to deal withthis?
I can't love only in a worldlike this.
Really, yes, you can, youreally can, because you need to
take your focus, focusing themind on the absolute.
That's what spiritual mindtreatment does.
That's what we're called to doin the face of anything, no
(05:13):
matter what's going on.
We are called to know theabsolute truth, no matter what
we're looking at, and not getsucked into the void of the
relative world that willliterally take our as Audrey
said vibration to the lowestplace possible.
So that's to me what love andaction is all about today.
(05:33):
How are we going to do this.
So spiritual mind treatment.
So spiritual mind treatment isputting what we call right
action into place.
So you are nothing more thanbodies of energy, constantly
moving and expanding andcreating based on what your mind
(05:54):
is doing.
Are we all in agreement withthat?
That's really what we are Now.
There's a lot going on aroundus too.
There's a lot of energy thatmoves towards us and impacts us
in so many ways.
But you are in the driver'sseat when this is all said and
done.
Your choice to do what you wantwith your mind.
(06:15):
So right action.
What is right action?
You know, when I got that textthis morning, half of this
country or more believe thatright action did not happen this
time in the elections, and thenthe other half, or less than
half or whatever, however thatbreaks down believes right
action did happen Right.
(06:35):
So did right action happen?
Not in the relative world thatI'm now talking, in.
Your choice not coming to be isnot either right action or
wrong action.
It's just the relative reactionyou have to it.
But in the absolute, everythingis divine right action,
(06:58):
everything.
The problem is we think we knowbetter than the universe.
We think we know better thanGod, which is the universe.
We think we know better thanyou.
I know better than you becausemy point of view is more
important, that's when we'restuck on that road over here in
the relative world.
(07:18):
So Ernest Holmes said, when wetreat for right action, we
should start with thesupposition that right action
already is.
How about that?
How about, instead of trying tocoerce the universe into doing
your bidding, how many of you dothat?
Come on, be honest.
How many of you treat for theuniverse to do exactly what you
(07:41):
want it to do?
And I love what he says herewhat if we treat from the place
of life is unfolding perfectly.
And here's what I would like tobe a part of going forward, I
would like to be more successfulin my life, not saying
specifically, bless you, pauline, not saying specifically I want
(08:02):
that job, so fire that person.
I want his job.
That's not how it works.
So when we treat for rightaction, start with the
supposition that right actionalready is.
I know this is a lot of words.
A lot of my students are nowsitting there going.
I thought we didn't do bigquotes on Sundays.
You don't.
I do so in such degree as theanswer.
(08:26):
This is heavy, so I'm going todo it slowly.
For all of us that need itslowly, which is me, what,
tiffany?
This is why you don't do bigquotes.
No, this is why you don't dobig quotes.
Yes, in such degree as theanswer and the result is
(08:46):
contingent upon any existentcircumstances.
Let's just stop there for asecond.
Contingent upon any Existencecircumstances, let's just stop
there for a second.
In such degree if the answeryou want, if the results you
want in your life, is contingenton anything in this world out
here, You're on the wrong track.
Yeah right, judd, you areabsent.
(09:07):
You can all sing it, say amensas you want throughout this
whole thing.
Amen, brother.
So thank you, carol.
So if what you want is tied tosomething out here, you're on
the wrong track.
That's what he's saying here.
It lives in the relative andnecessarily is conditioned by
the contingent which is held inthe mind.
(09:29):
So what that means is, as younavigate your life, as you move
through your life, all of thethings that are annoying you,
that you are saying I want thisbecause I don't want that, the I
don't want that is getting justas much attention as I want
this.
And what are those called?
(09:49):
Thank you, corrine Draper, fora hundred dollars.
Those are called mixed messages, and when you feed the universe
mixed messages, what does theuniverse give you back?
Mixed results.
This is easier than I thought,right?
So so if we're going to do lovein action this month, then you
(10:13):
are going to understand, beforeyou leave here today, that your
willingness to keep your mindfocused on love only benefits
everyone and everything.
It benefits you in your lifeand it benefits everything
around you, and the trick is canyou get rid of the niggly
(10:34):
moments when that stuff wants tocome back in?
How quickly do you veer offpoint, off course, and now
you're over here again.
So it's not that I think you'reall gonna be perfect, because I
don't, I think.
I think what you can do, though, is be perfectly in the game of
(10:55):
veering back when it happens.
That's all it takes.
So let's move to love.
So if we're doing love in action, it really benefits us to
understand what love is, andErnest Holmes said this Love is
a cosmic force whose sweep isirresistible.
Let's just start with love as acosmic force.
(11:17):
You know, love gets such a badrap, and I know we're in the
month of February and most of usthink of love as that pink
cloud period when you meetsomeone and you fall in love and
you have this wonderfulrelationship and all you can
think about is them.
And Did they text me today ornot?
Should I text them?
Because if I text first, doesit look like I'm needy?
(11:39):
All of that, anybody?
Yeah, good.
So that's not love, that'scodependency, that's what love
sometimes creates, but that'snot love.
What love is is an energy, it'san energetic force, and in the
quantum field we call it love.
Well, scientists don't, but wedo.
In metaphysics, quantummetaphysics, we call love the
(12:02):
creative, expansive energy ofthe universe, that thing that I
am, that energy that flowsthrough me.
So if I'm going to be love inaction, then my job, our one
focus, should be getting theobstacles out of the way of love
flowing through me, becauseit's gonna flow through me no
matter what.
But sometimes you can put a lotof obstacles in the way.
(12:25):
Anybody can think of someobstacles they put in the way to
love, yeah, so here's what Rumisaid your task is not to seek
for love, but merely to seek andfind all the barriers within
yourself that you have builtagainst it.
Amen, right, so love is here.
(12:48):
Love is a cosmic force whosesweep is irresistible and cannot
be turned off.
You can turn off to it yourself.
It doesn't mean it's notflowing Now.
You may have built a dam tomake sure it doesn't show up
anymore because you're tooafraid or because you've been
hurt.
How many people here, honestly,have been hurt in love?
(13:11):
Anybody not been hurt in love?
Anybody not been hurt in love?
Never been hurt in love?
You have never been hurt inlove.
Come up here, finish my talk.
I am so happy to hear that.
To be honest, I have.
I've been hurt in love, but itwasn't really love that hurt me.
It was my reaction to whateverwas going on that hurt me and it
(13:35):
was my need for that love to besomething I needed it to be.
We're talking about a verydifferent kind of love.
We're talking about theunderstanding that there is a
flowing river of pure love andcompassion and understanding and
(13:57):
wisdom and knowing it's who youare, it's what you are.
Your job is my talk title Getout of the way.
And that trains there, becauseI see love as this locomotive of
energy, that, but I don't wantto get in front of it, I want to
be on it and the problem is toomany of us are standing in
(14:20):
front of it and it mows us downbecause we're trying to dig in
and stand still.
But what you have to be willingto do is be a passenger, get on
board and be a part of love asit continues to move and grow
and expand.
Love may mean something to youone day and it may mean
(14:43):
something completely differentthe next day.
Love changes, love evolves,love grows.
I have been married for 37years to the same man and I can
tell you, love grows and expandsand evolves, and it continues
to evolve and continues tochange.
(15:06):
And the problem is we stand inthe way of it changing, in the
way of it growing, in the way ofit meeting our, in the way of
it growing, in the way of itmeeting our needs, when we could
just get on board and let itflow and let it, let this energy
, this vibrant force, inform us.
The laws are very simple.
(15:27):
Neil Donald Walsh says Thoughtis creative.
Fear attracts like, like energyand love is all there is.
All there is is this field ofpure energy and light inside of
you, and your only job is to getout of the way and let it do
what it does, and that's thosetwo paths.
(15:49):
Take the love only path andthen your life will expand and
evolve in ways you could neverimagine.
Take the relative path ofeverything that's going on in
the world and you get to livethere.
So what's it going to be?
What are we really really goingto decide to do?
How are we going to love ourtheme this month?
(16:11):
So how are we going to live?
This thing called love in actionquantum bods.
Taking the ideas of the quantummetaphysics and moving it into
my work in mental muscle hasreally transformed what I want
(16:33):
to do and how I live.
And someone in bods wrotesomething on the blog Everybody
blogs, everybody does what theydo.
And one of the blogs came outand I read it and I cried.
I was oh my god, that is themost beautiful thing and it
makes perfect sense for what I'mtalking about here today.
(16:53):
So here's the quote by AnneMonahan If I am NOT giving, I am
not living.
Simple, right, anne, verysimple for you Giving.
(17:19):
We spend so much time askingwhat's mine to get, what's mine
to receive.
But what if it's really justabout giving love, love in
action?
What if it's really?
What if the key to life is togive love and not expect
(17:41):
anything in return other thanlove continually moving and
expanding and growing.
If I am not giving, I am notliving.
So I have three things for youto do this month, okay.
First one is get out of the way.
Number one is get out of theway.
Find those things that areholding you back and put them
(18:04):
aside, step over them, put thembehind you, be done with them,
whatever it is.
If it's a fear you have or apast experience you have, it's
hakuna matata, it's in the past,okay.
So I wish I could knock on yourhead the way he does.
You know it's in the past,right?
That's number one Get out ofthe way, let it go.
(18:26):
Number two open your heart.
Some of you may be sitting heretoday and you don't even know
how closed your heart is.
You may think it's open, butthere are things in there that
maybe have caused it to close.
Maybe there's some anchors inthere weighing you down, some
(18:46):
past disappointments, someexpectations that didn't play
out the way you wanted it to.
Whatever that is, open yourheart back up.
If you feel it closed in anyway, open it back up.
And then the last one dosomething for someone else and,
(19:06):
if you notice, that spells G-O-D.
God, because that's who we are.
We are this energy of love, weare this constant momentum, but
we get bogged down, we forgetwho we are Instead of
remembering who we are.
(19:27):
So this month, do something forsomeone else every day.
Focus on what other people needaround you.
Focus on what the world needs,because the world doesn't need
too many more naysayers.
It doesn't need any morenaysayers.
The world doesn't need peopleto scream and argue and fight.
The world needs more compassion.
(19:49):
Thank you, audrey.
And love.
So get out of the way, openyour heart and do something for
someone else.
Just take a deep breath for asecond and close your eyes.
If love is nothing more thanwho you are, then I invite you
(20:17):
to ask yourself the questionwhat is mine to do right now?
What is mine to do right now?
And whatever comes up, get outof the way and do it.
(20:40):
You can open your eyes andnamaste.
