“Relentless Pursuit Of Happiness”
7/13/08
Dr. Harry Morgan Moses
We end every talk the same way and we say we invite
you to think on these things and explore the possibilities. Well
that is an interesting thing because to think is an invisible act
and it happens on what we call the media side of life. You cannot
see your thinking process only you know what that is and it happens
within you. So what we try to do is to stimulate that thinking
process to open you to new thoughts because we know new thoughts
create new conditions. Then the next part of that is to explore. You
see if you just stay in the Media, if you just stay in the invisible
side of life nothing will happen. You cannot simple sit and dream it
and think something will happen because we live in a Media physical
universe, you need to do the work on the inside and then match, move
in the direction of that work on the outside. So what we find is to
think and to explore. We are living in a time where they say there
still seems to be a paradox between science and religion and really
what that statement is is indicted to people who are uninformed
because the truth of the matter is science and religion are walking
hand and hand and revealing the same information. So beginning today
for the next three weeks today’s title is called the Relentless
Pursuit of Happiness, the sub heading of that lesson is really what
the next three weeks are about is called three paths to the infinite
The paths that we are going to explore are the paths of psychology,
the path of science and the path of spirituality. We are not going
to explore them one at a time were going to mix them all up and
explore them all together over the course of the next three weeks so
that you can understand that all paths lead to the same place. There
is only one life, one truth, one God, one reality and all paths will
eventually reveal that one truth. We are going to explore them more
distinctly in the course of the next three weeks. But this exploring
is where I want to put our attention on because already this summer
we have been called to explore a couple of things. Now to remind you
that what were about doing here is not advocating my message or
advocating Ernest Holmes’s message or advocating new thought’s
message or advocating some particular method but rather seeking to
discern in your own life what is truth. The only person who can
discern in your own life what is true is you, you are the only one
that can do that work and so we are inviting you to explore, to go
into the physical universe and explore what is so. To explore what
is a principal for you because science is simply discovering laws
and principals Science is the discovery of laws and principals and
so when we begin to say religion and science are working together we
are suggesting that there are principals in religion, now religion
is not God, no ones religion is God because no matter what God is,
it’s bigger than anybodies religion. No matter how inclusive your
religious concepts are God is still bigger than those concepts.
Religion is not God it is a bridge to God and what we see is that we
have through out human history seen wars and violence and
destruction over the bridges. You and I know to fight over a bridge
is silly because bridges are only designed to take you from one
place to another. So you and I are already stepping beyond needing
to fight about bridges but rather we are interested in exploring
what is in fact true. What is in fact a universal principal that
will work for everybody and can I apply them in my life. So a few
weeks ago our friend Mary Morrissey was here and she invited you to
explore something and I would remind you that I think this question
she asked is very valuable. Remember she asked you around the 25th
of June which is exactly six months till Christmas to explore the
principal of birds of a feather, flock together. To explore the
principal of what we call the third appearance, to explore the
principal of what we have been calling the leading edge The higher
resonance field of all of us believing in a higher power, touch
yourself and say I AM, see we automatically just like in our Om you
feel the resonance of our Om now we worked on that together and you
remember when we first started om-ing it did not sound like that in
here. We worked on allowing ourselves to come into a greater
collective consciousness together and that collective consciousness
is creating a resonance which will cause us to be able to rise above
the field of the law of averages. To rise about the field of the law
of averages, you and I do not have to participate in the law of
averages. We can rise to a higher plane; we can choose to
individualize the reality of energy. Energy and matter are equal and
interchangeable and therefore if I work with energy in a different I
will create a different experience. So Mary asked us to explore if
you don’t think the resonance of a group is empowering your life,
she asked you to come for six months. When ever possible on a Sunday
come here for six months, does that mean you will have to fight some
habit patterns within yourself? You have to make a decision and I am
doing a test and I am exploring a possibility. You can only explore
physically you have to go there physically to explore. Meta you can
do anything that you want in your mind, but to explore you have to
go there physically So the test is for six months see starting in
June by December your life isn’t better. Simple by the commitment of
showing up just to see what happens, that’s an opportunity for you
to test. Now the second test has been laid out and was brought forth
last week see because what I know and what I have been knowing in my
heart of hearts and discovering in my experience is that there is
only one place in the bible where God actually says test me on this.
God actually says test me on this and it is in Malachi and God says
prove me now, bring your tithes to the warehouse and I will pour you
out a blessing greater than you have room to receive. Now how many
of you could use a blessing greater than you yet have room to
receive? So here is the experiment and I want you to get the
principal so I am not attached to the outcome and I want you to get
the principal and the only way you can get the principal is to see
if the principal works in your life And so the principal now is
brought forth as our surplus energy program which is simply inviting
you to explore what might be possible if you adopt the principal and
were making it safe for you because we are just saying in your
surplus. Now I am going to invite our youngest board member Ben
Jamison to share with you some more about this exploring.
The reason that I am up here this morning is because I know very
powerfully that this works and the reason that I know this is
because I was part of the foundations class that in thirteen weeks
from committing to contributing 10% of any surprise supply
manifested nine thousand dollars so I know that this works and this
is why I am up here to talk about it. It is a pretty simple concept
that anything extra, anything above and beyond what you normally get
take 10% of that and give it to the church This is on top of
whatever tithes you are giving and not in place of and this is a way
to move above. This is a risk free way to experience whether or not
tithing works in your life because your not giving any of what you
count on all the time, this is extra and there is nothing too small
and keep this in mind. A quarter on the street that is not too
small. If you make no amount too small then the universe will make
no amount too big. You get to participate in the consciousness with
everybody, the practitioners will be holding all of us in
consciousness for the full time of this program, to help us to
expand our supply and you get to join in with everyone. You get to
piggyback on all the other people who are having success. It is the
energy of the group that Dr. Harry is talking about and we all
mingle our energy and we all get to explore together and help each
other out. There are so many ways that this can be such a blessing
and it is cool.
I decided that I needed to find ways in my life to feel more wealthy
so that I could manifest more wealth and I am looking for ways to
feel more and I heard about this program and instantly as I know how
this program works I committed to it right then and I said
absolutely sign me up and the next day I went to work and was having
a conversation with a co-worker who happens to be retiring and one
of things she was going to do was to take a month long tour of
Europe and she needed someone to house sit in pacific Palace aids
and decided to offer me the opportunity and pay half my rent for
doing so. The day after I commit to this I get at leas five hundred
dollars of supply and I get to feel the wealth of maintaining two
residences one of which is in the Palace Aids in the same city and
this is how well this works and you know if your not just careful
this surprise supply may be all the supply you will ever need.
A couple of places to explore the possibilities so lets dive into
the actual lesson today which is called Relentless Pursuit of
Happiness and it was interesting as I was at this conference called
dare to dream in the UK. One of the subjects that I was given was to
do an hour and one half on happiness and I said yes and here is a
couple of things that I know on happiness and one of them comes from
Abraham Lincoln who once said most people are about as happy as they
make up their ,minds to be. Most people are about as happy as they
make up their minds to be and then thee was a famous quote by Albert
Schweitzer and he said I do not know what your destiny will be but
one thing I do know. The only ones among you who will be really
happy are those who have sought and found how to serve. So the
essence of what I said in England was you know if you really want to
be happy then you have to find the standard by which to live. You
have to know how it is your going to live your life and we have done
a series here called I AM in the new era and we laid out sixteen
points in the new standard of being. We have been reminding people
there are these sixteen points available on a hand out and they have
to do with loving yourself, following your truth, taking
responsibility for your creation , choosing your life, opening to
compassion and becoming a teacher in the world. Those are the ideas
that I know for a fact will bring happiness. But only if you purpose
yourself to live literally by a new standard. Which means when you
go to the gas station and instead of cringing, is here is the line
we are at the point in our awakening process when were beginning to
understand the science of energy vibration and consciousness. We
humanity is at the point in its awakening process where we are
beginning to understand the science of energy, vibration and
consciousness, we know that our thoughts and feelings are creative
that whatever we focus our attention on through our thoughts, words
feelings and actions, whatever we focus our attention on through our
thoughts words feelings and actions we co-create in a power and
sustain our lives. The lines that we have heard is where my
attention is there I am. Whatever my attention goes my energy
follows. So the idea is that when were in a world and in Europe the
price of a gallon of gas is $8.50 and you Europe is continuing on
and it has since these prices have been going on. There cultures are
thriving and the economy is thriving and so what. So we find a way
to move on, whatever the price of gas is you find the way to move
on. However every time your attention goes to oh the constriction
and the lack of mobility and where is it going to go and it is a
domino effect, if your attention goes to constriction your
experience will be in constriction. So we have to make a decision to
set ourselves on a different path than the law of averages which
means we have to set ourselves on a different path than what our
friend Mary Morrissey was calling the world speaks which is what we
would know in new thought as race consciousness, we must not put our
attention on the consciousness of the race but create a new idea of
what is possible in the race. In an infinite universe with infinite
energy there is always more than enough energy and the ways and
shapes and means and forms by which it will arrive in my life are in
the hands of the divine but I am creating an avenue through which
that good can be made manifest. Without you there is no way for it
to find an avenue of expression. Each one of us must be the one who
chooses and so what does this have to do with the relentless pursuit
of happiness because happiness as Abraham Lincoln said most people
are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
I wrote a letter and this is part of it, what would it be like to
live the life you have imagined, what would it be like if every
dream you had were fulfilled? What would happen if you discovered
that the power to create that life was already within you? What
would happen if you took responsibility for the truth that you are
creating that life now? So the life you are creating now is just
about as happy as you have made up your mind to be. The life that
you are creating now is just about as happy as you have made up your
mind to be. Because what we have been talking about is well if this
is how happy I’ve made up my mind to be and it’s not what I mean
then now is the time to do something about it. But you see what has
to happen first is you have to have the perspective of the I AM
where you can look at your life and go that’s not what I mean
anymore. Rather than say I am that problem, I am that circumstance,
I am that situation, I am the one looking at it, I am the one who
was involved in co-creating it and it’s not what I mean anymore. You
have to have the consciousness of the observer in order to be able
to reframe what’s happening in your experience. So what I found as I
shared with you in England we lectured to people from thirteen
different countries some of who could not track English at the rate
at which I was speaking it. One person asked if I would speak slower
and I said probably not why it’s all there for us to absorb and we
need to know the truth is there for us to absorb and it is being put
on us all the time. The truth is being poured on us and are we
willing to absorb it because Daniel Morgan said it so clearly the
only thing you cannot have is that which you cannot embody. That
which you cannot bring forth into your life and so the wonderful
thing was I was lecturing with my good friend Terry Cole Whittaker
and Terry’s is a devotee of many different approaches to life and I
honor that and so I started speaking and they were adjusting to how
“very American” I was and meaning that we tend to put our mind on
something and say this is where I’m going and where I’m going is a
new age for humanity. Where I’m going is a world that works for
everyone, where I’m going is a world that brings forth a new heave
and a new earth. Behold I bring forth a New Jerusalem meaning a new
center of peace for the world, not a physical place it is a place in
consciousness When I live in the city of peace then peace will be
what I experience.
I was getting on a plane in London and walking down the jet way and
their was a poster that said the world greets you the way you greet
the world and I thought oh my goodness the message is getting out.
This is of course true the way you greet the world is the world that
greets you. What is emanating from me is my love and my respect and
our connectness and belonging together and what about the people who
didn’t speak English, I love them too and what did they pick up from
me how much they were loved and appreciated by means of their being
there. So they buying CD’s and tapes why so they can hear again and
again these things that we are beginning to take for granted but I
say do not take them for granted begin to recognize that what you
have learned by the grace of your own life and many of us by means
of the two by four school, you know what I mean, when those two by
four’s come upside your head, that is not what I meant. And so what
they found so fascinating is that we can pursue this and one of the
things that I got to see was the original magna caritas and there
were only four hundred that were originally written and one of the
original ones is in Salisbury in a cathedral there and I looked at
the original. The original magna caritas was of course written in
the thirteenth century and what was that all about that was all
about proclaiming rights to citizens, rights to humanity but why did
the magna caritas not be come the honored document why because they
lived in a monarchy. As soon as there was another king or queen they
could change their mind about what the rights were and that is
exactly what happened? So the form of the US constitution was born
out of the intentionality of the magna caritas seeded some six
hundred years before. But even though it was seeded it was not
honored because freedom did not reign and it was not a government of
the people by the people and for the people. So we took that idea of
that original intention and framed a whole new idea and what did we
say in our constitution. The most important words in our declaration
of independence, that we believe we are endowed by our creator it
did not name what bridge to the creator it just said the creator, we
are endowed by our creator with unalienable rights. Rights from
which we cannot be separated and this is the challenge of freedom
that our country is standing in. Are we doing it perfectly god know
we are not but I love the Winston Churchill line which I use many
times as you can always count on the Americans to do the right thing
after they have tried everything else that doesn’t work. So were on
the edge of about doing the right thing, were almost there and we
have to choose that, we have to choose that because we have been
given a document that cannot be taken away from us that says human
beings are endowed by their creator which certain unalienable
rights. Life you have a right to life, liberty you have a right to
your freedom and the next one it doesn’t say life liberty and
happiness no it doesn’t say that it says life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. You each one of us must decide to pursue
happiness at our own level and I highly recommend a relentless
pursuit of happiness. Why have the saints the sages the mystics the
avatars come down through time always so that we could have more
life in fact Jesus actually said those words, I came that you could
have life and have it more abundantly! But you have already been
given the right to pursue happiness but if you do not take the right
happiness will not come to you because most people as Abraham
Lincoln pointed out are just about as happy as they make up their
mind to be.
You know that when you get to a certain age you start noticing
people are making choices they are making a choice either to live or
to die and you have to make the choice, you have to choose your
life, you have to choose the celebration of your life. I am involved
in the relentless pursuit of happiness and I know as much happiness
that I have had there is that much more happiness yet to have
because if I use up vast amount of infinite happiness how much is
left? All of it do you see it there is no limit to the good that you
can claim but then why do I have to be of service because and we
sing the song use me oh God I stand and here I will be abide and one
person said aren’t we every going to change the song and I said why
did you get it?
When we really realize that our lives are here for God that any good
that I have, any good that I create, any time I am able to rise
above the law of averages and bring forth a higher vibration I do it
not just for myself but for all who vibrate anywhere near me because
the principal birds of a feather flock together. There is a
principal and so as I rise up everybody’s rises up with me and if I
separate myself and if I liberate myself from the energy that is
being broadcast on the networks Now you can also count on the
American’s to do the right thing after they have tried everything
else that doesn’t work so here is a little story about perspective.
God gave me a good belly laugh and what we think is and this is my
view what I think has happened is we have given control of the media
to to small of people, that is my personal opinion and if you look
at what happened on the media map and who owned the world media it
has shifted radically in the past five years to being controlled by
literally just a few people. So a few people are giving us the
vision and version of what is really true in the world. You don’t
hear about Prince Harry who goes out and gives of his time and
effort to dig ditches and bring attention to world issues. He does
not need to do that he is a prince for God’s sake. He is doing it
because it is his choice. You don’t hear about people who are giving
their whole lives to help tribes in Africa, you don’t hear about
young people who are raising money to build schools in Africa, out
of the new thought movement and that is happening today. You don’t
hear about those things because there is only a few people
controlling the media so that they can move things in a direction of
whatever their intent is and I say “no”, I say no. It is time for a
new world order it is time for a new good and the new good is let us
take our resources and bring as much good and bring it as far as we
can bring it every time we make a decision, every time we make a
decision.
So I’m of the belief that the new media is singularly broadcasting
because I was in the UK and I watch the news and you may as well be
watching the news in the United States as it is exactly the same
news but their talking about their country and all the things and
all the bad and all the woes, its all the same thing, no wonder
people were so thirsty for they heard a different song being sung. A
different sound to be, a different tone to resonate with yes? So
here I was thinking that I have noticed on television that some of
the middle aged people they get a softer lens on them. I thought
that was very compassionate because there are a lot more war babies
than they use to be and we all maturing and I thought how grateful
they put this nice soft diffuser on those people and it must be
tricky in the control room to know who is diffused and how is not
diffused.
So three weeks ago when I was in Oregon I happened to see the eye
doctor and the eye doctor gave me good news he told me your eyes are
healthy but the bad news is you don’t see as well as you use to. So
they gave me a prescription for glasses and they would not be ready
before I went to England and so I picked these glasses up Friday and
my wife has her own story about what I should and shouldn’t do so I
am sitting at home and she has gone to bed and I am watching TV and
I put the glasses on and I went “wow” they took the diffusers off!
Do you see it there was no compassion coming from the media it was
coming from my eyes that were all looking at the world seeing
whatever it is were reflecting into it and so here is where this
next three weeks is all about because what we know is that the
science of psychology the science of all sciences including Nero
sciences and quantum science and the science of spirituality are
pointing the same way. They are all pointing to clarifying on the
inside what it is that you will see on the outside. So the
interesting about the new science now and this is the simplest part
of this and we will get into this in detail over the next three
weeks but the simplest part and this is what in England and all this
multinational group was so excited about hearing because they didn’t
know that there is a relationship between understanding the laws of
mind, meaning everything we teach here is based on two very direct
principals. It is the principal of love and law everything we learn
here no matter how many words or how we stack it everything is about
the principal of love and law. That there is a principal of divine
love which gives of itself to itself that it gave itself the full
orbed realization or potential of itself that it may be discovered
in you. In religious terms that the only begotten the son of God
which is not the son or daughter it’s an androgynous reality the
image of God is reflected in its creation. And that the full
authority to create is given to its creation. Everyone touch
themselves say I AM I AM creation and now hear this through as I
want you to feel it in resonance Do you realize that since you are
creation and we live in a universe that is constantly in motion that
there is no way you can not create? Do you understand that? It is
impossible for you not to create because everything you think say do
and act upon is doing something, everything. So the next part of it
is yes I am creation but I am creation creating, so touch your self
and say I AM creation, I am creation creating! Don’t answer out loud
but creating what? I am creation creating what now the nature of
psychology and what we have learned about the subconscious mind and
we have known this now for more than one hundred years what we know
is the subconscious mind doesn’t care from where it gets direction.
How do we know because we can hypotheses people and when that person
conscious mind is asleep the subconscious mind will receive
instructions from the hypnotist and the hypnotist is not the same
person. So what we know is the subconscious mind which receives
everything doesn’t care from where it gets its conscious thoughts.
So if you don’t have a conscious thought what conscious thought do
you think is getting in there, the answer is the voice of the few
people who are determining what we hear and how did that happen well
we went to sleep at the wheel and how do we fix it, we wake up, we
wake up and we say wait a minute the media belongs to all people and
reframe again, that is all. We did something wrong we could not
count on Americans to do the right thing after we have tried
everything else that doesn’t work. It doesn’t work to give the media
to the hands of the few, to create a world fear which is what life
is. Do you think God lives in fear, do you think God is in fear of
its creation, do you think God in fear of lack of energy, do you
think any of that is true? None of that is true because creation is
actively creating so the full potential of love is given itself in
fullness to itself says now you operate the law, you are creation.
Gods say what is god’s creation going to become the answer is “I
don’t know”, you are creation creating what will it become? What
will you make it become, what will you create the avenue through
which it will become because each one of us is experiencing the
world through our own glasses. See and what we know about Nero
science and the interesting thing the eye doctor told me two weeks
ago it will be interesting to you when you put the glasses on
because you have probably forgotten what it is to see clearly. I
said no not me see my conscious mind objected but your subconscious
mind is simply receiving signals and its now telling you oh how nice
the diffusers are on the world everybody looks young and pleasant
from my eyes. Why because my brain has been receiving the new
signals that this is what is so, this is to be seen and over two
years time and I didn’t know it it actually reframed it actually
moves and creates new Nero patterns that says everything is now that
way and isn’t that nice of the networks to put diffusers on
everybody. But you say no isn’t that nice of Harry to put diffusers
on everything he see in his world. So already just by putting on the
glasses I remember what it is to see clearly and I am able to tell
my mind what you were seeing was not so, its simple not so and I can
begin to reframe what it is that I am telling my Nero synthesis to
receive because it is all malleable all depending upon what you get
in there and in force and reinforce. Everything that you tell it
becomes valuable and so this is now the science of psychology, this
is the science of Nero science and this is the science of quantum
science. When the quantum science says this is what the new science
says the observer looking at the field creates what immerses from
the field. What immerses from the field affects the observer which
effects what the observer is looking at which creates what is
observed and it goes on and on All of sudden when we realize so this
is coming out of this end is not random, this that is coming out of
this end is what I have put in motion and so I am experiencing a
life of constriction, I am experience a life of aging, I am
experiencing a life of loss, I am experiencing a life of miscreation
and we think oh that’s the way God would have it and God says no you
are creation creating, I would not have anything except your freedom
and the one thing I cannot take away from you is your freedom. So
the one thing that I can compel you to do anything with is your
freedom so we decide do I want to take the gift the real gift of
American whether your born here or claiming it as your inheritance
it makes no difference the real gift of America is the gift of life
and liberty and the pursuit of happiness and do I want to take this
gift and become one who relentlessly pursues happiness and then you
will discover something else that the happiness that you have you do
not want for yourself, you want it for everybody. So we decide to be
an instrument through which the light of the divine is revealing the
joy of the divine to the divine by the divine and I am that.
So this week practice where you put your attention, practice within
yourself out of the race mind, practice seeing the world clearly as
it actually is, not the way that you have diffused it in having
meaning in your life. Because the meaning of pain and suffering and
constriction and limitation has served us long enough and its time
for us to choose again, to recognize the full authority, given by
the divine itself to create the life I have imagined is already in
my hands. And I am paying attention and I am relentlessly pursuing
happiness and I invite you to think on these things and together let
us explore the possibilities.....
Namaste....................................
