“I am forever an
Effect of God.”

I was recently given a
20-page address on the subject of "Cause and Effect". It is a
thorough and clear explanation of the only Cause and why we cannot be anything
other than an Effect of It. I wish everyone could read it and fully demonstrate
the effects of this realization! To acknowledge that "I am forever an
Effect of God" is a grand step in that direction. On the surface, it seems
that knowing what we are would preclude the assumptions of what we aren't. But
we seem to need proof -- material proof that we are something other than human
beings who are vulnerable to material so-called laws. And that is why every
humble protest for Truth is important. By totally giving myself to the pursuit
of knowing this Truth, every day becomes an adventure in transformation!
Mary Baker Eddy
quote:
"There is no
life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and
its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth;
matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal
and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man
is not material; he is spiritual.”

Hi ~ I am doing similar work relating A Course In Miracles to the works of the 18th century mystic Emanuel Swedenborg.
ReplyDelete“…every created thing, and especially man, and the love and wisdom in him, have reality and are not merely ideas of being. For unless God were Infinite there would be no finite; and unless the Infinite were the All there would be no reality; and unless God had created all things from Himself there would be nothing. In a word, we are because God is.” (Emanuel Swedenborg, Divine Providence 46)
How exciting, Jeremy!! Do you have these posted anywhere? In this time of wonderful change, it's great to see how we are demonstrating our Oneness in ways such as these. Thanks for sharing! Keep in touch ---
