“Now, I came to this idea of bliss because in
Sanskrit, which is the great spiritual language of the world, there are three
terms that represent the brink, the jumping-off place to the ocean of
transcendence: Sat-Chit-Ananda. The word "Sat" means being. "Chit" means consciousness. "Ananda" means bliss or rapture. I thought,
"I don't know whether my consciousness is proper consciousness or not; I
don't know whether what I know of my being is my proper being or not; but I do
know where my rapture is. So let me hang on to rapture, and that will bring me
both my consciousness and my being." I think it worked. “
“If you follow
your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the
while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you
are living. Wherever you are—if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying
that refreshment, that life within you, all the time.”
I have an Inner Friend who walks
and talks with me daily.
He is not afar off, but is within me, a constant
companion.
I shall never become lonely, for
my Friend is always near.
I have but to speak and He answers.
Before ever my lips spoke He told me of His love.
O my kind Friend, how dear to me is Thy presence.
The Spirit within me is my Friend.
Ernest S. Holmes

For love is not

For love, simply
loves...period. In all things, put love
first. ♥

I resisted for many years. I was dedicated reading books, taking classes and
gathering information. I finally realized that [...]Continue Reading...
I can obscure my
holy sight, if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy sights
Christ looks upon, unless it is His vision that I use. Perception is a mirror,
not a fact. And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward. I would
bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will look
upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me.
Lesson
304 -Let not my world obscure the sight of Christ.
