February 16, 2015 - Birthing New Thought

ACIM Workbook Lesson #47:
"God is the strength in which I trust."

Freezing rain and sleet has just begun to fall on this cold, February night. What exquisite perfection to be sitting in a cozy home listening to the wisdom of the ages being spoon fed to me through a DVD. This series features a learned and perceptive man telling me "Great Scientific Ideas That Changed the World." He says that Aristotle tells us that knowledge is validated by using it. Paramenides has a substance metaphysics view of reality: the ultimate reality is a thing -- or things. Heraclitus said that ultimate reality is change, but laws of change are timeless -- hence process metaphysics. I find these thoughts fascinating and fun, but I'm not going to take any of it too seriously. Throughout time we have tried to understand how everything works, and that has been an evolution of thought. We are still moving through this tapestry of illumination and it is a delightful journey. I'm so pleased to be on it!!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:

"The revelation of Truth in the understanding came to me gradually and apparently through divine power. When a new spiritual idea is borne to earth, the prophetic Scripture of Isaiah is renewedly fulfilled: 'Unto us a child is born, . . . and his name shall be called Wonderful.'"Science & Health Page 109:22-27
