Remember Something You’ve Forgotten

Once upon a time a poem was written. A marvelous poem called “Recessional” written by British author Rudyard Kipling. It became immensely popular because it had a spiritual message.
 In addition, the poetry and writing are excellent. For example, there is one line that says, “God gave us dominion over palm and pine.” The British Empire was mighty in those days, and had conquered a good part of the world from palm to pine — “palm” representing the warm countries and “pine” the cold.

 The poem told of man’s conquest of other men. And it has this beautiful and marvelous lesson:

Lord God of Hosts,
be with us yet.
Lest we forget,
lest we forget.

 That’s the theme of the poem. We come into the world and make our petty little conquests. We set ourselves up as the conqueror of our own little home, our family, our business. This is parallel to Rudyard Kipling’s reference to the British Empire conquering and having dominion over palm and pine.
 The lesson is we’ve forgotten where we belong. The naming became the power in our lives instead of the power of remembering. Remember God? Remember who you’re supposed to be? And remember that you didn’t create yourself; therefore, you do not have and must not have responsibility for what happens to you. Wouldn’t you think that the Creator of the universe would be more qualified to take care of you than you? Then why don’t you let God do it?
 Here is an exercise to help you remember where you really belong. You’re going to have a determination to remember something you’ve forgotten. You’re going to look out at the world and you’re going to remember how many and how varied are the negative and corrupt influences that are pointed toward you and taking you over. You are to remember how negative everything is in this world. Take advertising. It’s quite appealing at times with pretty girls and apt phrases. Of course, the motive is to get your money.
 Listen to people talk. Do you hear anyone conversing on something that is of authentic value to them? No, they have forgotten. What we’re doing here in class is remembering that we forgot.
 We’ve forgotten what is true, what is kingly and truly permanent.
 Don’t settle another second for any impermanent life, which is all society has to offer.
 To be who you really are in essence is the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. You can come home right now. Do it.   Vernon Howard:  http://www.anewlife.org/html/lessons.html

I Am Apart from All That is good too. The message fits in nicely with ACIM and Morty Lefkoe`s work.

The message of Lectio Divina is important. Don`t intellectualize or rationalize peace. Practice it. As Vernon likes to say:`` Do it ``.

I've noticed some people I know are buying into the fear and paranoia being propagated over gun control. None of which has anything to do with Christianity and could be further from the truth.

Peace,  find it and then Do it and KEEP IT.

Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme expressions of anger, often to the point of uncontrollable rage, that are disproportionate to the situation at hand. he disorder itself is not easily characterized and often exhibits comorbidity with other mood disorders, particularly bipolar disorder. Impulsive aggression is unpremeditated, and is defined by a disproportionate reaction to any provocation, real or perceived. Individuals diagnosed with IED report their outbursts were brief (lasting less than an hour), with a variety of bodily symptoms (sweating, chest tightness, twitching, palpitations) reported by a third of one sample. The violent acts were frequently reported accompanied by a sensation of relief, and in some cases, pleasure, but accompanied by remorse after the fact. Prevalence is higher in men than in women.

Impulse control disorder or ICD is a class of psychiatric disorders characterized by impulsivity – failure to resist a temptation, urge or impulse that may harm oneself or others. Many psychiatric disorders feature impulsivity, including substance-related disorders, paraphilias, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, antisocial personality disorder, conduct disorder, schizophrenia and mood disorders.

 

Receiving your life begins with the realization that you are enough
and that you've been given what you need to live a rich life.
