"Arise and shine for your light has come and the Glory of the Lord is risen upon you."

One night during December of 1992, I had a dream about conducting spiritual upliftment seminars for groups of people to help them learn how to "Rise and Shine" in the Service of the Lord. I was telling the participants that there are five aspects, elements, or factors involved, and that when all of them are balanced, centered, energized, vibrating, aligned and activated in harmony
with one another, ascension naturally occurs.

In my dream, several people in the auditorium were levitating, rising up to the ceiling as I was speaking. It was perfectly clear to me that the objective of the training and of those participating, was to rise in consciousness and shine in God's Service in order to fulfill their highest possible destiny in God's Service as Light upon the path for others, certainly not just to experience levitation of one's physical body.

The next morning, as I was enjoying replaying the dream in my mind, I remembered a reference I had read somewhere that Love, Praise and Gratitude are the three ascension attitudes. I believe the reference was to Biblical scripture and that it might have been in the book Spiritual Economics by Eric Butterworth.

While I haven't yet located any Biblical reference, I have invested time reflecting on what other ascension attitudes could be added to Love, Praise and Gratitude. As I read through the Bible and the other contents of The Ultimate Life Inpowerment™ Planning System, I discovered four additional primary attitudes including: "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness"; "Be still and know that I Am God"; "Ask, Seek, and Knock"; and "Be a Faithful and Humble Servant and Steward".

As I experimented with and prayed about these concepts, I was inspired to develop an exercise I have titled, Rise and Shine With the Seven Ascension Attitudes. Whenever I read through these materials, I am reminded of the statement " It is our attitude, not our aptitude, that determines our altitude."

To get the greatest benefit from the ascension attitudes, read through all of the materials and then focus on each one, one day at a time. You might want to make up a set of the ascension statements on index cards so you can keep them with you and review them frequently. During the day, reflect on how you might best manifest that particular ascension attitude during your interactions with others. In the evening, reflect on how well you were able to increase your conscious awareness of and positive response to the countless opportunities we are given every day to "rise and shine" in our Heavenly Father's Service.

Following is an example set of the Seven Ascension Attitudes Index Cards from the workshop.
If you enjoy them please make a donation to support our "Pay it Forward" program. The complete set of printed index cards, workbook and video message pen are available for only $19.97.

"I arise and shine, for my Light has come, and the
Glory of the Lord is risen upon and within me."

How to Practice The Seven Ascension Attitudes™

To get the greatest benefit from the Seven Ascension Attitudes, read through all of the materials and then focus on each one, one day at a time. They are provided on index cards so you can keep them with you and review them frequently. During the day, reflect on how you might best manifest that particular Ascension Attitude during your interactions with others. In the evening, reflect on how well you were able to increase your conscious aware-ness of and positive response to the countless opportunities we are given every day to "rise and shine" in the Lord's Service. In his autobiography, Benjamin Franklin described a similar process of using a Daily Retrospection Chart to help him incorporate The Thirteen Virtues. Mr. Franklin attributed much of his success in life to his practice of this daily discipline which you may apply as you practice the Seven Ascension Attitudes. Copyright 1998 by CENTER SPACE

LOVE, The First and Great Commandment!

Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and with all thy strength and, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

I love you Lord, my God, with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, and with all my strength, (all of which you gave me), and I strive to love everyone else as I love myself since we are all manifestations of You God. I think Love, speak Love, give Love, and live Love that I might be perfect even as our Father in Heaven is perfect. I am grateful Father that I am increasingly a loving, positive and supportive person who radiates God's Love, Peace, Light and Harmony within myself, to my family, friends, co-workers, community and to the world.

In the name of Jesus the Christ , I profess my love for God.
It is so!

LET GO AND LET GOD

In God we trust and all is well.

Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord.

I seek first the Kingdom of God on earth and Your right-use-ness and all right things are added to me in the right way, at the right time and in the right amounts

SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD

"Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you."

I seek first the Kingdom of God and Your right-use-ness and all right things are added to me in the right time and way. I put God first in everything I do.

In the name of Jesus the Christ, I seek first the Kingdom of God. It is so!

ASK, SEEK, KNOCK AND GIVE THANKS

"Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek and you shall find;

Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that Asketh, receiveth; and he that Seeketh, findeth; and to him that Knocketh, it shall be opened."

Our Heavenly Father, I Ask, Seek, Knock and Give Thanks for conscious awareness of God as my instant, constant and abundant Source of the Wisdom to see, the Faith and Courage to believe and the Power, Supply and Direction to be all I can be in your service, do all I may do in Your Work and have all I may exercise stewardship over in my Perfect Employment in God's Service.
