Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
— I Corinthians 3:16
When the body is the harmonious temple of the Living God, Spirit, divine order reigns throughout.

The Temple
There is a magnificent place that contains an astounding chemical factory; a physical laboratory; a psychological research workshop; an engineering marvel; a politician’s perfect governmental system where each member receives exactly what he/she needs without fighting for it; a history of the universe; a metaphysician’s explanation of existence; great musical, artistic, and literary wonders; great powers of regeneration and healing ... and eternal life.
This is not the eighth wonder of the world, but rather, the first wonder of the Universe — you! Anything you want to know is contained within your own being. For you are a microcosm of the Macrocosm. Every cell of your body is a tiny universe unto itself containing the same component as the large Universe around you.
There is but one Universal Mind thinking through you. And so, if you but still your conscious mind, you can hear the wisdom of the ages and live in tune with universal harmony. As Omar Khayyam said, “When all the Temple is prepared within; why nods the drowsy worshipper outside?” Why not enter this miraculous Temple today!
I am still. I realize with awe and wonder that the entire Universe exists within me. I enter into my own Temple with thanksgiving and expectation. I quiet my outer mind and go within. I receive all the information and guidance I need for a fulfilling and productive day.
I am the Temple of the Living God.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
