Be indifferent.
Most of us have an innate
shrinking from saying, "Thy will be done." Because of false teaching,
and from associations, we have believed that this prayer, if answered, would
take away from us all that gives us joy or happiness. Surely nothing could be
farther from the truth. Oh, how we have tried to crowd the broad love of God
into the narrow limits of man's mind! [1]
You want to manifest the perfect
Christ. Affirm with all your heart and soul and strength that you do so
manifest now, that you manifest health and strength and love and Truth and
power. Let go of the notion of being or doing anything in the future. God knows
no time but the eternal now. You can never know any other time, for there is no
other. You cannot live an hour or ten minutes in the future. You cannot live it
until you reach it, and then it becomes the now. Saying or believing salvation
and deliverance are to be, will forever, and through all the eternal ages, keep
them, like a will-o'-the-wisp, just a little ahead of you, always to be reached
but never quite realized. [1]
In Christ, or in the consciousness
of the indwelling divine Spirit, we know that every man and woman is our father
and mother, brother and sister; that nothing is our own, but all is God's
because all is God.[2]
What
is understanding faith? There are some things that God has so indissolubly
joined together that it is impossible for even Him to put them asunder. They
are bound together by fixed, immutable laws; if we have one of them, we must
have the other.
This
is illustrated by the laws of geometry. For instance, the sum of the angles of
a triangle is equal to two right angles. No matter how large or small the
triangle, no matter whether it is made on the mountaintop or leagues under the
sea, if we are asked the sum of its angles we can unhesitatingly answer,
without waiting an instant to count or reckon this particular triangle, that it
is just two right angles. This is absolutely certain. It is certain, even
before the triangle is drawn by visible lines; we can know it beforehand,
because it is based on unchangeable laws, on the truth or reality of the thing.
It was true just as much before anyone recognized it as it is today. Our
knowing it or not knowing it does not change the truth. Only in proportion as
we come to know it as an eternal truth can we be benefited by it.
It is
also a simple truth that one plus one equals two; it is an eternal truth. You
cannot put one and one together without two resulting. You may believe it or
not; that does not alter the truth. But unless you do put the one and one
together you do not produce the two, for each is eternally dependent on the
other.[3]

I AM the way.
One thing about being in the NOW
is you may notice people moving surreally.
Be still, and know I AM God.
Life is a dream. I used to think
I was missing something. I finally figured out I was reacting as I witnessed
the dream.
One of the flaws of the Law of
Attraction stuff is that we are vibrational beings. We’re not. We’re spirit.
All is mind. The body is meaningless. A vessel of learning. Be indifferent to
what you see. The learn to love what you see. God creates in his own image and what God creates is
perfect. As Christ you have created a world you see as hell but change of
perspective required is to see Heaven Here NOW.
It’s unfortunate Cady isn’t
taught more at Unity. What she said of geometry is pretty much the same as
William Samuel said some 100 years later in 2+2=Reality
I used to think I’d teach healing from Quimby
and Hopkins. Or maybe New Thought.
The Truth needs to be taught.
And the power of being in the NOW.
As a recent CareGiver I can tell you it’s important to be in the NOW for the
loved one. To be present, not to judge but to take one day at a time. As a GareGiver your views and opinion don’t matter. It’s all about
supporting the patient on their final journey home. And you can’t do that if
you’re worried about tomorrow, next week or next year. Perhaps I need to teach
that.
Different strokes for different
folks. I have a friend who idolizes a proponent of raw milk. I admire the man
who prevented growth hormone from getting into the Canadian milk supply and
food chain.
True Empathy
“By joining with the Holy Spirit
(in-spirit) at the level of the mind you automatically know what to do for
someone at the level of behavior or form and be truly helpful. It automatically
comes through. It's an expression of love.”. http://pvrguymale.blogspot.ca/2009/02/i-read-ken-wapnicks-true-empathy-notes.html
