Jim draws many of his lessons from his early days as a Mid-western
diesel mechanic and the numerous small wild creatures and birds
who populate his back yard in Madera, California. From his back
patio viewing station, Jim, in the company of his faithful dog, Tyson,
draws similarities from their interactions in nature to our own.

In these 100 snippets of spiritual related writings, Jim shows us how,
by living in harmony with ourselves, one another and nature, we
too, can learn to follow our spirit within, our intuition, that can lead
us to a life filled with abundant peace, harmony, laughter and love.

His writings reflect his soul; honest, open and positive.
—Annette Nordine, Artist and Photographer
Jim Fox grew up on a farm in West Virginia.  He
attended church with his family, took part in
church activities and studied the Bible in group
classes at Sunday School.  He graduated from High
School in 1952 in time to be drafted into the
military during the Korean Conflict.  After two
years serving his country Jim worked as a
mechanic for twenty-five years in Ohio before
moving to California in 1979.
He and his wife Joanna found the Science of Mind
teaching in 1986 and attended all the classes the
Science of Mind had to offer and, after five years of
studies, they became ministers.  In 1994 they
founded the Spiritual Awareness Center located in
Madera, California and celebrated 15 years as a
church in September, 2009.
We live in a universe that is so
perfect that most of the people
who are aware of this are amazed
by the way it all comes together.    
Everything operates in a perfect
way because the Creative
Intelligence of the Universe (God)
is the energy behind all that takes
place.   All of creation uses this
Intelligence in its everyday
activities and it always knows what
to do and when to do it.  
First time mothers in the animal
kingdom know what to do
because it is the power of this
Intelligence that guides their
instincts.  The birds that migrate
know when to start their flight and
know what direction to travel
because of this power behind
their instinct.  The fish in the
oceans know when to change
locations not only for breeding
purposes but they   follow the
food source that changes its
location.  
Everything happens for a reason
because the Creative  
The Power Beyond Instinct and Intuition
The great blessing of the spirit pours through me now,
and protects me in all my ways.  
Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, pg. 257
Intelligence behind all activity is
guiding the energy that everything
responds to.  The whales in the
oceans that change locations don’
t have compasses or depth gauges
to guide them on their way like
the man made submarine that has
to operate from those kinds of
instruments or they would get in
big trouble.  The same thing with
the birds that migrate.  
The birds know where they are
going because the Creative
Intelligence behind their instinct
guides them with different signs
for them to follow.  Some of the
signs upon which they rely are the
weather, the air currents and the
food source.  The birds don’t
need all the sophisticated
instruments, like the man made
airplanes have, to get to their
destination.  They rely on the
Creative Intelligence of the
Universe (God) to guide and take
care of their needs from the time
they were hatched until the time
they expire from this plane of life.
