Spiritual Mind Treatment

Spiritual Mind Treatment is the single most important Science of Mind (SOM) Practice. It is
a specific methodology that puts all the Principles into practice in a systematic and
intentional manner. We consciously use the Creative Process to direct Spiritual Laws to
heal/change real life conditions. Regularly used and applied to every area of life, it
develops a deeper awareness, expanded consciousness, and greater experience of the
One Infinite Reality.

Spiritual Mind Treatment is an act, art, and science. It is an act, being the conscious
activity of thought. It is an art in that there must be conviction, appreciation, and realization.
It is a science, in that it produces verifiable results through the application of impersonal,
consistent spiritual law.

 

Practicing the Presence

Practicing the Presence is the practice of the principles of Oneness, Love, and Creation to
become aware of and experience the One Infinite Reality. The Practice of the Presence is
engaging in formal, disciplined methodologies that quiet the mind/body and open
awareness. Beyond these formal methodologies, it is living in alignment with our SOM
Principles, making these Principles evident in the way we engage in the present moment,
thereby being congruent in thought, word, and behavior.

 

• Meditation opens us to this inner awareness. It transcends all theologies and allows us

to directly experience the One Infinite Reality. There are many different forms of
meditation, each of which opens us to be receptive to the Presence of Universal Spirit.

 

• Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment, objectively observing the

behavior, attitudes and beliefs of ourselves and others. Mindfulness creates awareness
of our inner alignment and congruence in daily living. Visioning consciously opens us to
be receptive to the impress of Universal Spirit.

 

• Visioning is the practice of cultivating the Universal Field of Consciousness and

illuminating what wants to emerge into form, without preconceived ideas or limitations.
Visioning has a specific methodology, which can be used individually or in a group.
Visioning may also be done informally.

 

• Spiritual Community gives us a supportive place to practice our growing understanding

of Spiritual Principles with other like-minded individuals.​

 

​

Direct Revelation

Direct Revelation is the practice of the Principles of Spiritual Being, Freedom, and Heaven.
As individualized expression of the One Infinite Reality we have access to the infinite
wisdom and intelligence of the Ultimate Reality. It flows through us, as us, to the degree
that we set our previous ideas aside and become aware and conscious of the impress of
Universal Spirit. Direct Revelation is available to us through our intuition and can be
intentionally cultivated.

Self-Awareness

Self-awareness is the practice that illuminates our alignment with each of the SOM
Principles. It is the practice of being conscious of one’s motivations, internal dialogue, and
hidden beliefs. It is a willingness to observe and take responsibility for one’s internal and
external choices. Self-awareness is the foundation for conscious choice.

• Silence creates an inner spaciousness to become aware of one’s own consciousness,

the rise and fall of thoughts and feelings without attachment or judgment. It invites us to
become comfortable within our own body/mind, to release distractions so that self-
awareness has space to grow.

 

• Spiritual Coaching is working with a Professionally Licensed Practitioner to assist in

examining one’s life in the light of spiritual principles, becoming aware of one’s inner
states, hidden beliefs, and patterns of thought.

 

• There are many other methods for practicing Self-Awareness, which can be done alone

or guided by another, including but not limited to guided imagery, journaling, and
therapy.

​

 

Gratitude

Gratitude is the practice of the Principle of Creation, seeing creation as life affirming,
looking for the Good and focusing on that good. Gratitude is more than an emotion; it is an
attitude which carries us beyond doubt, attracting and magnifying the good that is focused
upon. Gratitude accepts with perfect faith that which has not yet manifested, as if it were
already here.

• Journaling is a powerful way to practice Gratitude on a regular or daily basis. There are

many other methods for practicing Gratitude.

​

 

Compassion
Compassion is the practice of the principles of Oneness, Spiritual Beings, Heaven, and
Immortality. Compassion respects and honors the True Nature of others, all life, and
ourselves. Compassion is claiming the same good for others that we accept for ourselves.
Active compassion is the practice of joining personal responsibility with social conscience
for the good of all.

• Forgiveness is a significant way to practice compassion; it is a process of releasing

hurts, judgments or grievances which allows us to see the Universal Spirit in everyone.

• Sacred Service (Seva) is a way to practice Compassion by actively serving others, as

well as seeking to bring about the CSL Global Vision and a world that works for
everyone.

​

Intentional Manifestation
Intentional manifestation is the practice of Threefold Nature, the Creative Process, Spiritual
Laws, and Freedom. It is consciously producing a definite outcome by using SOM
Principles to bring about a greater good, a more abundant life, a better condition than
existed before. Intentional Manifestation invites us to exercise our freedom to create the life
we desire.

• Spiritual Mind Treatment is our primary and most significant methodology for intentional

manifestation, creating the bridge between Spiritual Truth and manifested reality,
transforming creation into a reflection of Spiritual Truth.

• Affirmation and Visualization are methods for Intentional Manifestation. Affirmations and

Visualizations create a new causal idea in Mind and a deeper acceptance within us of
the reality of the idea, which then becomes the seed for the new manifestation.

• Giving and Receiving is a way to practice conscious participation in the circulation of

universal good in all of its forms.

​

​

Sacred Study

Sacred Study is the practice of expanding our knowledge and understanding of the Nature
of the One Infinite Reality, who we are, and a deeper understanding and use of each of the
SOM Principles. Spiritual Study deepens our awareness of spiritual truths and provides the
framework for spiritual practice. Through Spiritual Study, we gain wisdom as well as a deep
appreciation for the wisdom of those who have walked a spiritual path throughout the ages.

• Contemplation is a tool in the practice of Sacred Study. It expands our conscious

awareness and embodiment of a spiritual principle or idea.

• Spiritual Education is learning and applying SOM Principles and Practices through a

variety of accredited courses and non-accredited courses and workshops.

• Reading and discussion of sacred writing, contemporary books and materials of a

spiritual nature, and one’s one engagement with the ideas presented invite exploration,
discernment, and alignment with SOM Principles and universal spiritual truth.

Other methods to further embody SOM Principles​

The purpose of these practices is to embody our spiritual principles. This embodiment is a
natural and spontaneous response to life, which is in alignment with SOM Principles. There are
many methods to practice and apply the Spiritual Principles in everyday life. Ongoing
proficiency and expansion of spiritual practices nurtures the application and embodiment of our
Spiritual Principles. Exploring additional methods to deepen our understanding and practice
that are in alignment with our Spiritual Principles is valued and encouraged.
