The cheer resulting from knowing all is well
Punctuality, meeting each thought with good news to tell
Order – realizing God has all in its right place
Patient, because God’s love is expressed in grace
Full of faith – receptive to Truth and Love
We feel God’s gentle presence from above

Dancing to each call
Knowing that God is All
Hearts uplifted from loving each other
Feeling the oneness we have with our brother
Joy in seeing only God’s perfect creation
We cannot help but witness His manifestation

What a privilege to behold the perfect man
And in this knowledge to take a stand
Then watching the unfolding of reality
Beholding first hand man’s innate purity

This is our duty to all mankind
Seeing this way, there’s only goodness to find
Let’s nurse each other as Love loves its own
And realize then, we are never alone
Now let us put all selfishness away
And go out with love, to nurse the world today!

or wrong.

I happened to have had such an experience Sunday morning at  New Orleans

airport. I arrived at the proper time for my flight to Houston, and  then to connect to San Diego, when we were told that our plane was undergoing a mechanical problem, and that we would be updated as to the progress periodically.  Those periodical updates were not promising at all.  I began to suspect strongly (Mind’s prompting) that the plane was not going to go anywhere that day. The attendants at the gate were being evasive.

Strangely, I was observing nearly all the passengers just standing resolutely in line and waiting–just waiting for the report from the desk to change.  How I knew that we were being placated, and perhaps lied to, was unclear to me at the time, but I knew.

After stewing and being almost helpless along with the others (dumb sheep) as they appeared, I went to my knees– so to speak– in humble, listening prayer.

I just couldn’t accept the verdict that no one knew if or when we were going to get on that particular plane and flight.  I even kept asking before what to do, or if I could get another flight to Houston, but I was always told the same thing that there were no other flights available, and that all flights were already full. After being delayed 3 hours already, things looked hopeless.  A flood of

emotions began to sweep over me.  Thoughts like: is this what its like to be stranded after a disaster like Katrina?  Is blind acceptance by the masses an indication of the mental state of of so many in the wake of so called natural disasters, I pondered. No,  it is not, and it can’t be, nor is it going to be my mental state!

No doubt, when I really turned away from the human reasoning, blaming, and feelings of victimization, and knelt down to phone a friend for support, I felt an immediate sense of hope and resolve to  take the next step in the line of putting my prayer into action.  I walked away from the patiently waiting crowd at the gate, and past the  security check point, and back to the ticket counter.  I calmly waited in line a few minutes, not hours, for the clerk.  I was given options at this point, and rescheduled to go out on standby on a noon  flight with new connections to San Diego.  I had under an hour to wait, and I got on that flight.

As I was going through the gate, I saw that the same crowd was still standing at the other gate  with the broken plane.   Still waiting and hoping while I was going home.   What happened here? was it luck for me and not for the others? I kept praying for them too as I boarded.

I had much to thank God for during that flight for the mental qualities that I could rely on to get me off the ground, and lifted to safety way above the false report of error. Qualities like humility, (turning to God on my knees), obedience and trust, walking away from the crowd and back to the ticket counter (faith in good), and perhaps most of all, an absolute conviction that error and discord are not to be accepted. As a result of these mental qualities already active in my thought,  I found proof of God’s unfailing care and love.

In reflecting on this experience, I gained valuable insights into the absolute mental nature of all things. How grateful I was, and am once again of Love’s provision for Her kids!  All will someday see this, and not be deceived by evil anymore.  I am committed to help others whenever I can to wake up to this reality.  As I do it for myself, I will be helping others as well.

So much love,

Jacque

He loves us completely.
He cures us of shame.
We’re His reflection.
He knows us by name.

Oh beautiful Saviour
So pure and so bright!
You make us Your likeness
We live as Your Light.

Freed and forgiven
You’ve paid all our debts
You’ve cured us of sorrow
Healed fear and regret.

Oh beautiful Saviour
We live through Your Life
We’re safe in Your Love
We’re free from all strife.

So stir us to action!
And teach us to heal.
Your Light must be lived!
Your Love be revealed!

Oh beautiful Saviour
Adorable One
You’re everpresent
You’re Kingdom is come.

We love and we thank You!
We stand in Your might.
Made whole in Your likeness
We shine as Your Light!

– Mark

The next morning it took me over 20 minutes just to get into a sitting position on the side of my bed. It was my habit to rely on prayer, which I did, and I knew this couldn’t be true about me. I proceeded with the responsibilities of the day, but very slowly. It was a couple of hours before I could function freely. I resisted calling a Practitioner for help thinking the difficulty was on its way out of my life.

The next morning again, in a vice-like grip, I struggled to rise. I spent several hours hobbling around determined to be free of this false control. I called my son who is always so helpful, immediately confirmed that God was moving absolutely every single tiniest molecule, in every part of my body. He repeated as we often did in our family, “there’s not a spot where God is not.”

I accepted the truth of this statement without reservation. I continued to know my separation from matter and that its beguilements of fear could not possess me in any way. The next day it was easier to move, and the day after I was completely free.

I am very grateful to be free of that temporary paralysis.

‘No.

No I didn’t make you.

No, my life, vigor, peace cannot be disturbed by your hypnotic storm that I am at a vulnerable age, at any age.’

And the spirit of God says to eternal health: Yes!

Yes!!

‘Yes, I am much greater than mesmerism, pantheism or activity in matter, for I am all Life.

Yes, I am at peace and I KNOW IT, and all My creation knows Me.

Yes, because I love to be Me and all that I have made is good and this is what My creation knows of Me.

Yes, because My heart has never been anything but the expression of My all-powerful, My only presence, Love.

Free.’

Tuff Stuff.

Very Determined.

Beyond Determined

Invincible!!!!

Not there in the mirey clay of “where you came from”
Not there in the cloudy doubt of “where you are going”

but Here
Here on solid ground.

Begin Now.

Let go of that ancient millstone history;
Let go of that phoney lodestone future.

Begin Now
Now is solid ground.

“This is the way, walk ye in it”
says the voice of God.

“That was the way, too bad you missed it”
says the Liar.

“Now is the day of salvation”
says the voice of God.

“Someday, if you get lucky, maybe you’ll be happy”
says the Liar.

The Liar is future tense anxiety past tense anguish
God speaks present tense “I love you”

But how do you know you are here?
Be still, and feel:

Here
  is where Love loves you

Here
  is where Truth speaks your name

Here
  is where Spirit sings you a lullaby.

Right here is where you always are

How do you find now?
Be still, and listen:

Now
  is when Mind accepts you

Now
  is when Soul sings YES to you

Now
  is when Life’s arms hold you

Right now is when you always be

And being, suddenly you find your feet
on the holy ground of Principle.

And you know:
  This — right now! — is the best time of your life.
  This — right here! — is the best place to be.

  There is no lie to fight
  Only thought to change

  So accept God is with you *here*
  Rejoice God loves you *now*

  Right where you are.

So take off those stiff shoes
and toss those cursed fig leaves
of cheated past and incurable future.

And, having nothing between
you and your Father-Mother God.

Look up!
Up there!

There’s a Rainbow smiling over your head

Look down!
Right there!

There’s solid Rock under your feet

And look around!
All around!

You actually already are God’s perfect child!

 – Here
and Now.

I held to this and worked with an idea from the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer of Christian Science, which reads, “When the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you, cling steadfastly to God and His idea. Allow nothing but His likeness to abide in your thought. Let neither fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust, that the recognition of life harmonious — as Life eternally is — can destroy any painful sense of, or belief in, that which Life is not. Let Christian Science, instead of corporeal sense, support your understanding of being, and this understanding will supplant error with Truth, replace mortality with immortality, and silence discord with harmony.” Science and Health pg. 495

The next morning we had a very inspired lesson study of the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, (the textbook on Christian Science healing), and I felt full of love, joy, and peace. As we headed out on the hike I reaffirmed the truth about God and our protection from harm under His government. The trail started out very narrow at the beginning and there were plants that resembled the poison oak I had been working to protect myself from. As we prompted along I continued to pray, not just for myself, but for our whole group to be protected by God’s loving care. We had a wonderful hike.

A few days after we returned home, I noticed the signs of this disease manifest itself on my hand. It started to itch and as I was at work I unconsciously began to scratch at it. As soon as I realized what was going on I stopped and prayed. I knew that this was not a part of the everlasting harmony of Soul, God, and that it could not affect me in any way. I was tempted to look at it often and see if it was spreading but each time I did, I clung “steadfastly to God and His idea” [my perfect selfhood in his likeness]. By the next day all irritation was gone. The rash the had begun had disappeared, and I was left with the grateful assurance that “… with God, all things are possible.” Mat. 19:26
