Spirit is Substance and Substance is Supply

Spirit is Substance and Substance is Supply

"We must be convinced that abundance is the natural state of the Universe. To experience and accept abundance in our life, we must be convinced that as we conceive and believe, the Universe handles the details." Dr. Ernest Holmes

“I am surrounded by pure Spirit, by God, the Living Spirit. My thought is God thought, and it is the law unto that thing where unto it is spoken. Everything that I do shall be a success. I am lead, guided and inspired by the Living Spirit of Love and right action. I am compelled to move in the right action and to always know what to do, where, and how to do it.

“I am surrounded by right action. I am filled with the consciousness of right action. Right action is success in all that I undertake to do. I am successful in my own undertakings, and I am compensated for all my efforts. I am surrounded by Substance, which is always taking the form of supply and always manifesting itself to me in the form of whatever my need may be at the time.

“I always have an abundance of money and an abundance of whatever it takes to make life happy and opulent. There is a continuous movement toward me of supply, of money, of all that I need to express the fullest life, happiness and action.

“I have an inner understanding of my place in the Universe. I know that it is unique. The Divine has not incarnated in anyone else in just the same individual way that it has in me. I am unique and forever individualized. Therefore, I do not need to imitate anyone or to long for the good that belongs to another. All good is now mine and is now manifest in my experience. I do not compete with anyone, for I am and remain forever myself. This self is united with all selves, but is always an individual in a unique self.

“There is that in me which all people recognize as worth while and desirable, and everyone whom I meet loves this self of mine and recognizes its worth. I draw all toward me and those whom I can benefit and those who can benefit me are irresistibly drawn toward me. I do not strain, will or coerce. I know. The truth that makes me free from the fear of poverty or bondage and emancipates me from the thought of limitation. I see that money, like everything else that is desirable, must be a spiritual idea, and I know that I have this idea right in my mind at this moment, I shall always have this idea of abundance. It is mine and I take it.

“The opportunity for self-expression and compensation is always open to me and I am at all times compelled to know, except and operate upon this opportunity. I have abundance because I am abundance. ‘All that the Father hath is mine.”

Dr. Ernest Holmes

Science of Mind Textbook

This spiritual mind treatment originally occurred in the 1917 edition of the Science of Mind textbook, by Dr. Ernest Holmes

As a participant, I commit to engaging in the daily prosperity practices provided throughout the 31 day program and to tithing 10% of all unexpected income and recognized prosperity received during this time to the Trinity Center for Spiritual Living.

Insight

& Practice Option

There is a profound difference between hoping life works out and knowing that Divine Intelligence is already expressing itself as your life. This treatment reminds us that success is not something we chase but something we consciously allow by aligning our thoughts with the Infinite Mind within us. Today, before making a decision or beginning a new task, pause for a few moments and quietly affirm, “The wisdom I seek is already present within me, and right action is naturally revealed.” Then move forward with confidence instead of hesitation, trusting that every inspired step opens the way for greater abundance, meaningful opportunities, and joyful self expression.

Affirmation

I joyfully accept that Divine Wisdom directs every step I take, abundant good flows freely through my life, and I confidently express the unique greatness I was created to be.

The Abundance Shift Prayers to Date

The Abundance Shift Prayers to Date

“You never say an affirmative prayer the same way twice. The words stay still, your consciousness keeps expanding to meet them. Read it once, you understand it. Read it again, you become it. That’s not repetition; that’s your soul-self rising to meet the same truth, from a greater awareness of consciousness every time. The prayer never changes. You do.”

Rev. Tony Crapolicchio

I Choose to Know Abundance In All Things!

“No longer will I go for my good, carrying only a dipper to be filled. This day, as I turn to the Father within, I bring all the empty vessels knowing they will be filled, and my abundance will become manifest.” Dr. Ernest Holmes

Money Is God In Action

“The decision to let go of that which has completed its course in your experience is even more important than the decision to welcome new ideas. You cannot walk forward by looking backward. New wine cannot be put into old bottles, for the Bible states that the old bottles will break. You intuitively know what should depart from your life.”

Up-Level The Frequency of You

Up-Level The Frequency of You

"A thought is a vibration before it's ever a sentence, and the body has known this longer than the mind has been willing to admit it." Rev. Tony Crapolicchio

Most people think of a thought as a private, silent thing, something that happens quietly behind the eyes and stays there. It doesn’t. A thought is a vibration before it’s ever a sentenceand the body has known this longer than the mind has been willing to admit it. That’s the premise underneath the Sacred Resonance, an exercise offered through The Affirmative Knowing and built to be added into an existing spiritual practice. The Sacred Resonance exercise is thirty minutes of empowering affirmations laid over Solfeggio frequencies, ancient, specific vibrational tones associated for centuries with greater resonance, transformation, and release. Within TCSL’s Abundance Shift Program, this same exercise is offered under its program name, Sacred Resonance for Abundance. The words give the mind something true to agree with. The frequencies give the body something true to settle into. Together, they’re less a meditation and more a tuning fork held up to a journey that might need a little retuning. Retune the frequency, and the life has no choice but to follow. 

Dr. Ernest Holmes wrote, “Deep within the subconscious mind of man lie infinite possibilities, which, when realized, will constructively control his future.” That’s precisely the layer Sacred Resonance is built to reach. Not the surface mind busy composing tomorrow’s to-do list, but the deeper mind that doesn’t argue, doesn’t negotiate, and simply absorbs whatever it’s given on repeat. Thirty minutes of affirmation isn’t a pep talk aimed at willpower; it’s a daily tuning of vibration, deposited straight into the subconscious mind. Neville Goddard said, “Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled.” That assumption isn’t pretending — it’s rehearsal, the deliberate practice of inhabiting the feeling of the wish already fulfilled until the nervous system stops treating it as a hope and starts treating it as a memory. Held daily against the Solfeggio frequencies, that assumed feeling has somewhere to land: a body already tuned to receive it rather than resist it. Esther Hicks teaches, “You cannot offer a vibration and not have life respond to you. It is impossible.” An affirmation is only ever as effective as the feeling behind it — a mind and body settled into vibrational resonance is far more available to feel something as true rather than merely hoped for. Thirty minutes within the Solfeggio frequencies isn’t asking anyone to believe on faith. It’s asking them to offer a vibration on purpose and consistently. Match the frequency, and the response has already begun. 

This isn’t just a metaphysical practice, either. British cognitive scientist Colin Cherry studied this exact phenomenon, which he called the cocktail party effect, demonstrating that the subconscious mind is always processing sound, even what a person isn’t consciously focused on. Because Sacred Resonance is framed entirely in first-person “I am” statements rather than background noise, it speaks directly in the language the mind stays primed to notice and absorb — and with consistent practice, that absorption compounds. Repetition reconditions the subconscious to default toward a positive vibration, so the old static of the monkey mind — the looping self-doubt, the reflexive worst-case chatter — gradually loses its grip, crowded out by an upleveled vibrational resonance the mind has been conditioned, day after day, to offer instead. The monkey mind doesn’t get defeated — it gets out sung.  

None of this requires incense or a special chair. Sit with The Sacred Resonance under headphones for full immersion or download it and let it run quietly in the background during a commute or a load of laundry. Either way, thirty minutes is the whole ask, and what it builds is a consciousness that increasingly speaks to itself the way The Sacred Resonance does: on purpose, in the affirmative, and unwilling to settle for anything less than the life it’s already claiming.

Health, Healing and Wholeness

Health, Healing and Wholeness

Sunday, July 26th @ 11:00 A.M.

Meditation @ 10:30 A.M.

We all have physical and emotional healing to deal with whether we want to believe it or not. After all we are human and we all have the free will of God. In studying Religious Science through the teachings of Science of Mind we can come to know and understand that our state of health is an expression of our Divine self and our beliefs.

Wisdom for Service:

“This process of clear thinking, if carried out everyday, will heal.”

Dr. Ernest Holmes

Rev. Michael Voccio

Rev. Michael Voccio

I was born in Wurzburg, Germany when my Dad was stationed there in the Army. I spent most of my childhood & teenage years in Northern, VA.

After graduating high school I attended Georgia Tech (GT) and graduated with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree. It was my desire, since the 11th grade, to get into the construction industry doing project management. The first job I had after graduating from GT was in the steel erection business in Northern VA and I then had the opportunity to transition into the steel fabrication industry in Baltimore, MD, Richmond, VA and Chattanooga, TN. During my 37 year career in the steel construction industry I have worked in many positions from estimating & sales, project management, general manager and president. At this point in my life I am very happy to be doing project management as I have had my opportunity to run companies and manage people. I’m happy to leave those responsibilities to others as I have had my chance.

My career then took me to Nashville, TN in 2010 and that is where I found the Science of Mind (SOM) teaching. I started my journey as a metaphysician at the Music City CSL (MCCSL) with Rev. Michael & Dyann Woody. It is there where I started learning to “change my thinking change my life” and started to study and use Spiritual Mind Treatment (SMT). I was only in Nashville for 2 ½ years but it was the most life changing time in my life.

Through SMT my next manifested career expanding opportunity took me to Kansas City. MO. There I attended CSL Kansas City (CSLKC) with Rev. Dr. Chris Michaels and Rev. Mike Irwin. It is at CSLKC that I had the opportunity to take classes and started to get the bug to become a practitioner. I was able to complete all the required classes to become a practitioner and completed my Prac I training during the 6 ½ years I was there. It was also in KC that I met my soul mate, wife, best friend, supporter, lover and encourager Cynthia!

I then had to make another career move. So using SMT, again, I manifested and demonstrated my current job here in Asheville, NC. With the love & support of Cynthia we moved to Asheville to start the next chapter in our life. We started attending CSL Asheville (CSLA) upon our arrival in Asheville and I was able to complete my Prac II training online, pass the practitioner exam and pass the practitioner oral panel so I am now a CSL Licensed Practitioner thanks to the love & support of my wife Cynthia, Rev. Dr. John & Barbara and the CSLA Practitioner team.

As Spirit leads my time in Asheville, NC & CSL Asheville was short lived. Only being there for just over a year my career took me to Atlanta, GA where I found Trinity CSL where I am an active Minister and a Trustee.

As for my personal side I have 3 wonderful grown children, two in Chattanooga, TN and one in Lawrence, KS, and 3 beautiful grandchildren.
