ACIM Lesson #321
“Father, my freedom is in You alone.”
[Marsha's thoughts]
An old Kris Kristofferson song, Me and Bobby McGee, has the line: Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. That seems forlorn on the face of it, as in, I've already lost everything and have nothing left and so I guess that's supposed to be freedom. But then again, there's something to be said for nothing left to lose! Does it have to imply loneliness and emptiness? I don't think so. By not counting on another person, or yourself, or anything other than God to supply everything you need, there is an ultimate freedom in not worrying about what, who, where you'll be or anything else! You may happily follow that inner knowing which supplies you with the freedom to be open to anything and everything without wondering or questioning your own motives or those of others. It's quite a delightful trip, this waiting with heart wide open to see what's coming next!Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“The enslavement of man is not legitimate. It will cease when man enters into his heritage of freedom, his God-given dominion over the material senses. Mortals will some day assert their freedom in the name of Almighty God. Then they will control their own bodies through the understanding of divine Science. Dropping their present beliefs, they will recognize harmony as the spiritual reality and discord as the material unreality.”
