"Let
not your heart be troubled," stated the Great
Metaphysician Jesus. But his words
have been lost to so many of us because He was teaching that the Father
(Spirit) indwells us. Jesus said, "when
you see me, you see the
Father." In other words, when you see me, you see
peace, joy, happiness, power, strength, harmony - when you see me... you
see ... Life, Truth and most of all Love. All these things and
more are the Father that dwells within us - the Spirit of Life, Truth
and Love. This is the image that God created us in and in "His
image of us," we must learn to live, and as we do almost
every concept, belief and assumption that we have lived by will be
eliminated in our consciousness. But without spiritual
understanding all this is meaningless and does little more than give us
momentary comfort - but not the peace and satisfaction that comes from
experiencing the Truth.
As we begin to
contemplate and meditate on the idea of the "Father
Within," this "Indwelling
Presence," that Dr. Holmes refers to in the Science of Mind,
we can begin to open our mind to the Truth of the One Life, One Mind
that Is God and in which we all live, move and have our being.
Instead of looking to God-out-there for anything, we can recognize as
did Jesus that "God-in-me" is the
Presence, Power and Intelligence that will lead me and guide me to my
highest and greatest Good. "God-in-me" knows what I want
before I ask... and "God-in-me" responds to me as I turn to
God and away from the world. In scripture
we can read, "closer to us than breathing,
nearer than hands and feet." Let's quit looking
for God in the clouds ... let's stop looking to anyone or anything to
give us our Good and understand that "God-in-me"
is a magnet that attracts every good thing I want or desire.
Read and repeat this
affirmation often each day:
God-in-me
lifts my life to its highest level. God-in-me changes illness into
health. God-in-me brings peace amidst turmoil; God-in-me
brings success out of failure; and Go-in-me brings victory out of
defeat. God-in-me brings companionship and happiness out of
loneliness. God-in-me responds to me, for it is the Power that
Dwells Within Me!
Reading and repeating
this affirmation will begin to clear our consciousness of our old
concepts of our relationship with God..... and we will begin to
"realize" as did the Master Mind Jesus, Buddha, Krishna,
Mohammed, Dr. Holmes, Dr. O. C. Smith, Dr. Bitzer, Dr. Joseph Murphy,
and Charles Fillmore .......... all the great mystics .... the
ever-present Presence, Power and Intelligence in our every moment of
living... and as we experience this
Irresistible Power of Love ... it will never occur to us to "let
our hearts be troubled."
And
So It Is!
Living
The Way To A Wonderful Life,
