Never before on this planet have suchburning Truth been so eloquently

Chapter 1 – Statement of Being
There are 12 lessons taught by the Mater/Teacher. We will study all 12
through these 12 chapters.
What is everyone & everything in the Universe seeking?
Chapter 1 – Statement of Being
Their Good.
Therefore the Good that youare seeking is your God.
Chapter 1 – Statement of Being
“My Good is my God!”
Chapter 1 – Statement of Being
Use this simple statement:
“ I am seeking my Good,and my Good is my God.”
Chapter 1 – Statement of Being
“Acknowledge me in all your ways”
To acknowledge God is to admit we are seeking our Good
Chapter 1 – Statement of Being
The hidden statement:
“ There is Good for meand I ought to have it.”
Lily speaks - Good is it’s Free Life
Say mentally, “The Good there are seeking is their God, and
God is Free Health”
“The Good I’m seeking is unlimited Strength”
“The Good I’m seeking is unlimited Wealth”
“The Good I’m seeking is unconditional Love”
“The Good I’m seeking is unlimited Joy”
“The Good I’m seeking is total Protection”
“The Good I’m seeking is Intelligence”
“The Good I’m seeking is Truth”
To expect Good and to be verydefinite in the mind that it
IS coming,
Is to see it coming.
All Truth is waiting for youto say plainly what is
your Good.
Your Statement of Being
Naming all your Good.
1. Write out all your Good2. Think all your Good3. Speak all your Good
That will be naming God
God is not slow in coming intothe life of the one that
names their Good.
God works only in Truth
By speaking Truth you areSpirit, and by speaking
Truth you are
Omnipotent!
