Today, Sunday, March 13, is the first Sunday of Lent in this time of preparation for the Easter experience.
 
 

The Altar

The Altar is the place in consciousness where we are willing to let go of personality and enter into the individuality of the God Presence within our own being. It is where we re-establish the Truth that God is all in all and establish our own place in the sight of God and man.

In Truth it is at the Altar that we reclaim our true heritage, releasing the false image we have of ourselves with its handicaps and limitations. We let go of the pressure of possessions, personal relationships, thoughts of doubt and fear.
 

The Altar has always represented God in the outer man-made temples. The Altar in the “temple (our body) not made with hands” is in our deep innermost self. Only here in the midst of our own being can we meet God and become aware of the magnitude of the power that is ours to use. God is ever present in us all . . . whoever we are . . . wherever we are . . . whatever we think about ourselves.

Let us come into the Presence of our all good, first by knowing that it is here in the midst of us and, second, by acting as if we were one with the things that are needful for life. The logic of the mind must be satisfied.

Our state of mind is the womb of our particular world – whatever we conceive and nourish comes forth in our life and affairs. The mind of man is the womb of his world. All great things from spaceships to gadgets come out of the mind of man. They are conceived as ideas, nourished forth into the outer by attention.Let us come to the Altar of our own being and open our heart and mind to the eternal good of God.
