Grotto Spring by Gerry Toler



ACIM Lesson #300

“Only an instant does this world endure.”

[Marsha's thoughts]

We're beginning to see that Life consists as a wholly different reality from what we've come to believe. Intuition and inspiration are becoming guiding realities when we allow them to be. But sometimes these Insights seem to be blocked. Generally, after reading the ACIM lesson, I sit quietly and allow words to come to me for these daily writings. For three days this hasn't happened. In examining why this is, there can only be one reason: my self won't be still to allow my Self to speak. Obviously, God cannot be quieted. Omnipresence can be no less than all presence. This ego presence of my own self is no more an omnipresence than is this instant we are living and calling life. Reaching for reality, striving for Truth -- none of these material actions make any sense. There is nowhere to reach and nothing to strive for or towards. So to search for words is counterproductive. In this day full of interactions and reactions, I vow to go back to the basics of Love: feeling, being, knowing only Love. Is this possible when mortal mind is screaming so loudly for an audience? I know that it is.

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Life is divine Principle, Mind, Soul, Spirit. Life is without beginning and without end. Eternity, not time, expresses the thought of Life, and time is no part of eternity. One ceases in proportion as the other is recognized. Time is finite; eternity is forever infinite. Life is neither in nor of matter. What is termed matter is unknown to Spirit, which includes in itself all substance and is Life eternal. Matter is a human concept. Life is divine Mind. Life is not limited. Death and finiteness are unknown to Life. If Life ever had a beginning, it would also have an ending.”
