Truth cannot be destroyed...

“Truth cannot be destroyed” is an age-old axiom that rings true for mankind and for all else in nature.

Truthfulness and Goodness are synonymous.  Goodness, of itself, is inherent in our God-given soul.  Although goodness cannot be taken from us, it can become obscured what with worldly affairs.

                       

For each of us our preeminent responsibility in life is to maintain and declare our goodness.  In doing so we are ever in touch with God—He who is the source of our goodness.  Simple utterances of “Thank you, God” throughout the day, all the while manifesting God’s love for ourself and others, lends credence to His purpose.

“Truth cannot be destroyed…”

A friendship ended.  I couldn’t reconcile this within my soul…I struggled with all sorts of questions and answers to make myself feel better.  Even so, peace of mind wasn’t to be found.  The question that set me free from my mind’s tug-of-war was given to me by a friend at the Brahma Kumaris Centre.  She said, “are your thoughts about this broken friendship a belief  or the truth?  A belief, I answered.  To which she replied, “one’s belief can be changed but the truth is always the truth.”  blw

Affirmation of our oneness...

That we, like all else, are subject to the immutable laws of nature is but affirmation of our oneness with God:  He who is life eternal.

Our Own Disquiet to Self-recovery...

IN COMING TO TERMS WITH OUR OWN DISQUIET…it is well to share our thoughts with someone who we intuitively know will listen and understand. 

Ofttimes this alone will show us the way to self-recovery.  To be sure, the path is not an easy one, requiring commitment, awareness and, not least, a refusal to compromise on that which we instinctively know to be right for us.  It is an irrefutable truth that nothing in life is more important, neither more rewarding, than coming to “Know Thyself.”

“IN COMING TO TERMS WITH OUR OWN DISQUIET…”

This morning’s meditation was rich with metaphor!  Six a.m. at the Brahma Kumaris Centre I found myself contemplating a single, long-stem mauve rose.  It was elegant, full and beautiful.  In this vase designed for a single flower I noticed a ‘gap’ between the water level and the bottom of the rose’s stem. This image started me thinking about this gap – the water was an inch from the stem but the stem couldn’t reach the water so would die.  From this thought I was led to another… God meets us exactly where we are…no gaps!  I also noticed the leaves on the rose stem.  If the rose could let go of its leaves the stem would drop an inch into the life-saving water.  For me the leaves represented barriers.  I began to think of the barriers I’ve set up that stop me from ‘fully’ accepting God’s unconditional love.  I need to let them go :o)  blw

"In The Fullness of God's Love... We are forever changed"

 It is now widely acknowledged that the human brain is a dynamically malleable organism offering limitless possibilities for intellectual development and growth.

Such scientific findings have long been within the purview of philosophical thinking; a belief coeval with that of mankind’s spiritual development.

In the fullness of God’s love  ethereal thoughts of the mind transform the workings of the brain, and with it our very being.  We are forever changed, defined by God’s abiding love.

“In the fullness of God’s love… We are forever changed “

Recently, in Calgary, Chet Manchester, Christian Science Lecturer, spoke at a Church Alive Summit meeting.  A friend of mine attended Chet’s spiritually uplifting lecture about the ‘BE-ATTITUDES.’  In the fullness of God’s love, thoughts have forever changed.  The first point shared, ‘Let Go of perceived  hurts.’  I’m on my way to wholeness!  blw

We Find Our Home...

In the mistaken belief that we alone are masters of our own destiny, we do ourselves a grave disservice, for help is ever at hand.

            

Engrossed in the ways of the world we are prone to forget that we have within us a much higher power:  God’s goodness and His love, a divinely spiritual force that, when allowed to play its proper role, is life’s ultimate guide.

By asking God to come into our life and learning to walk in His way, we become grounded, while at once coming to know inner peace.  God’s guiding light carries us to a gladsome place of self-love and a love of others.

In the fullness of God’s divine love and goodness, we find our Home.

“we find our Home”

Recently I visited with Barbara, an ‘intuitive’ healer.  While telling me about myself, I learned a lot about her.  Born into poverty, the youngest in a very large dysfunctional family, with an abusive alcoholic father, Barbara knew from a very early age that she possessed ‘spiritual-intuitive’ gifts.  With an education in the sciences and many years in the medical field, Barbara put this “safe” career on hold while she pursued her passion, intuitive healing.  In the fullness of God’s divine love and goodness, Barbara has found her Home.  blw

a change of attitude...

The mind, left to its own devices, tends to create wasteful thought.  Such thought diminishes our ability to function at our God-given best.  It thus becomes clear that we have a moral obligation to dismiss such destructive thought from the mind.

This may require *a change of attitude; one that enables us to always look for the good in others.  This in itself, while spiritually uplifting, serves as well to focus our thoughts on others’ attributes.

                                                                           

In all humility, we learn to listen, while withholding judgment.  Our trust in others is made manifest, only to find that we too are similarly blessed.

We take pleasure in honouring others’ unique qualities, all the while knowing that, just as we are, is enough.

*“a change of attitude…”

Have you ever been so low in self-esteem that you talk yourself out of doing the very thing that would make you feel better?  I have!  Just recently I attended a regular Wednesday Christian Science Service.  It is well attended and always uplifting.  This particular Wednesday I was feeling as low as the sidewalk and could barely meet anyone’s eye.  I was just so close to tears?  A few of us always go for coffee after the Service but this time I just hurried on my way.  The following Wednesday I had “a change of attitude.”  I decided ahead of time to make sure I said ‘hi’ to those around me and to participate in the Service if I could.  The difference between the two Wednesdays was like night-and-day…what a great lesson for me!  Yes, I went for coffee too :O)  blw
