August 28th 2014 Lesson 163
There is no death. Son of God is free.
- Intention: To look past every form of death and through Christ's vision see our brothers perfect holiness and our own salvation.
- Practice: God created not death so how could it be real? In ever form it appears, we will today deny its reality by remembering that we live and move in God alone.
- Application:
-- Death is a thought that takes on many forms, often unrecognized.
It may appear as sadness, fear, anxiety or doubt; as anger, faithlessness
and lack of trust; concern for bodies, envy, and all forms in
which the wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you. All
such thoughts are but reflections of the worshiping of death
as savior and as giver of release. Let us today recognize these forms of death and worship them no more. How could anything die when God is the source and goal of all that is. Let us remember this with our prayer today:
Our Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the glorious reflection of Your Love which shines in everything. We live and move in You alone. We are not separate from Your eternal life. There is no death, for death is not Your Will. And we abide where You have placed us, in the life we share with You and with all living things, to be like You and part of You forever. We accept Your Thoughts as ours, and our will is one with Yours eternally. Amen.
Insights/comments:
- To bodies the concept of death seems quite real, but remember that bodies are also an illusion and one illusion is just as unreal as another. Just as fish live in the waters of the sea, inseparable from it; just as the birds live in the air, inseparable from it; just so do we live in God, inseparable from Him. God is eternal, everlasting, unchanging, unending and He created us as Himself. If death is unreal to Him, it must be unreal to us, appearances to the contrary.
I and my Creator are One.
