Notes:
- Life is Perfect has become my mantra. Because it is the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth. Is this senseless optimism or is it a demonstrable Principle? I have never been one for senseless optimism but the invisible intangible Omnipresence of the Divine creation is a law. The Divine creation is functioning everywhere always but we must be conscious of it to activate it in experience; so, we start with belief. Not belief without proof but trust without reservation that right where the good and evil world seems to be is the Perfection of Being.
- Sow to the flesh is death and to sow to the Spirit is Eternal Life or “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Galatians 6:8 Let’s look at Spiritual identity and what it should look like when we are in Oneness without opposite. To be One there can’t be two; which means no me and you or as Joel Goldsmith says “no and.” For many this may be a stretch and as Mary Baker Eddy wrote, “Speaking of the things of Spirit while dwelling on a material plane, material terms must be generally employed. Mortal thought does not at once catch the higher meaning, and can do so only as thought is educated up to spiritual apprehension. To a certain extent this is equally true of all learning, even that which is wholly material.” S&H 349:24-30
- Using the Sermon on the Mount to help us see the message of the Christ.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5:3)
Blessed are those who mourn: for they will be comforted. (5:4)
Blessed are the meek: for they will inherit the earth. (5:5)
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they will be filled. (5:6)
Blessed are the merciful: for they will be shown mercy. (5:7)
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they will see God. (5:8)
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they will be called children of God. (5:9)
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. - Proverbs 20:13 “Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shall be satisfied with bread.” 28:19 “He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.” 30:8 “Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me.”
We don’t forgive or have mercy in the same way Spiritually as when trying to do it mentally and physically. To - Spirit there isn’t anything wrong because the Divine Principle is functioning, however, what seems to be wrong is only in the mental/material concept the false sense of I. To experience the Divine Truth; the false sense of self must be put off; this is the poverty of personal sense because we are out of the Father’s House or Divine Consciousness. A branch cut off from the vine left to wither and die.
