These next few lessons of review will be great fun to explore! Our central theme is, "I am not a body. I am free." Linking this Truth to the individual daily reviews should open up realizations we haven't thought of before. We are ready for this! Our daily review of trusting our brothers because we are all One in spiritual reality is being practiced in daily life everywhere I look, as I'm sure it is with you, too.  Looking back a few years in my experience, the largest example of this has been our local metaphysical society. This group of people developed a wonderful, trusting rapport. We will always cherish each other, no matter how different our perceptions may have been. And there is a group of women who have met for a number of years. We call ourselves a book club, but we're so much more. We trust each other implicitly, and this feeling expands to our other relationships. Most recently, I have been involved in a joyful  group of friends who meet to discuss, with total honesty, various topics -- while sharing fabulous food and each other's company. These gatherings have the feeling of conversations on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but we are taking them to another level through total honesty and a lack of worry for what others may think of us. What a freeing activity this is!   All of these gatherings are helping us to understand that we are one family, by virtue of our Source.  By letting go of guilt, embarrassment, judgment, we are freeing ourselves to discover our Selves in all our glory, as spiritually pure creations. If you're not already, I invite you to find avenues to open up in similar ways. The more I do this, the more I find it natural to honestly interact with everyone. This remembering of who I Am is so exciting! And I'm very happy to be sharing it with all of you. Namaste'.

Mary Baker Eddy quote:

“The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that man who seeth his brother's need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another's good. Love giveth to the least spiritual idea might, immortality, and goodness, which shine through all as the blossom shines through the bud. All the varied expressions of God reflect health, holiness, immortality-- infinite Life, Truth, and Love.
