Today, Saturday, March 12, is the fourth day of Lent. Lent is a time of preparation for the Easter experience.
I like to think of the word “Lent” in the form of the acrostics:
“Lessening Every Negative Thought”
and
“Loving Each New Today”
Assignment 4
As human beings we are lost in seeking. We seek here and there and everywhere for “something” that will give us a sense of well–being and a release of power that will make us capable of adjusting in every phase of life.
We seek with our sense mind in the outer world of forms and things. Since we seek with sense-instruments, we can only bring the results of what we call material existence into our consciousness.
We are all seeking peace of mind, power, and authority in our own experience and in our own soul! Some have ignorantly used this power and authority over other human beings. They become dictators – and the world is full of little ones and big ones. They do not understand that all power is Self Rule and no man was given dominion over another, but only over the lesser creatures.
All are seeking God, their own true power, their God-self, at the point where the power moves – and that is within the individual! We are God contained and have power to “live and move and have our being” in complete awareness of the Presence.
This power is not in us, but We Are this power. This Power is Omnipresent. It is the Life of all creation of which we are the highest. We are the Highest because we are visible and yet capable of comprehending and merging with the Invisible which we are also.
We can contain, embrace and include all power because we are contained, embraced and included as this power. God is “built-in” every one of us.
There is nothing to heal, to destroy, to change by applying God. There is nothing to be handled, manipulated or managed by the Law of God. We cannot maneuver God, for God is changeless. God is Law! God is All! God Is!
We must know God in expression. We are God moved and God movement, God is Being. God is being You and God is being Me. To be is to know I Am God! “To be” is to be God! To recognize every feeling as God is to know there is no separation. We must be self-aware and we shall be God-aware.
There is nothing to change but something to know. To know is to be aware of by feeling. Feeling is not the touch of the hand but an inward movement, an impression on the innermost “sensitive state” of our Being!
