ACIM Workbook Lesson #321
“Father, my freedom is in You alone.”

Someone very close to me has been going through an experience which would traditionally be thought of as betrayal and a cause for great emotional pain. As we spoke over the phone, he mentioned more than once that it was odd that he was feeling all right about the situation. He is seeing the relationship as one which has brought great joy to his life experience. As we grow in our understanding of Creation, we begin to see that we actually are the expression of divine Love, God. In this realization, we begin to utilize spiritual sense, which opens a whole new view of life. Releasing thoughts of how we should react to situations as dictated by material senses, we free ourselves to be expressions of Creation, without the belief systems we've always relied upon.  And in this freedom, there is joy!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Mortals must emerge from this notion of material life as all-in-all. They must peck open their shells with Christian Science and look outward and upward."

Science & Health 552:19-21
