ACIM Workbook Lesson #106 “Let me be still and listen to the truth.”
What does the Easter story mean to you? I see it as a tale which illustrates the death of false beliefs and the resurrection of thought to the Truth of being. Jesus was here to teach us that we are all the children of God, that we are all capable of far more than we realize, and that we are all immortal. Although he did teach these things, it seems people have diluted the message over the years. You would think such a lesson of power and freedom would grow in thought rather than dissipate, but it has not. At this point in time, it appears we are satisfied living a mortal life of fear and guilt. Perhaps it's easier than accepting the majesty of our Being. Truth is that we are not mortal sinners, but rather immortal reflections of divine Love. We crucify ourselves on the cross of belief and stay there because we don't know how to get down. Jesus told us to know the Truth and be freed; that the kingdom of heaven is within! Today I want to celebrate a rebirth which is happening continually when I open myself to the Christ Idea within. And if you want to call it by another name, that’s just fine, too!!

ReplyDeleteSometimes, I think, we may need a little help from our friends to undo our erroneous beliefs. Today I am grateful for friends who know and walk in the Truth. I honor and am in awe of the mature and steadfast people who attend my local Christian Science Church. Many of them have been raised in these beliefs, and live them and speak from them.
I am also grateful for you, my friend, and your lovely blog. Thank you for being here.
Thank YOU so much, Cassandra! And you are so right that we need a little help from our friend in undoing the beliefs of a lifetime. What a blessing to have a CS church group to help you on this path. Our little society has been closed for five years. Thank you for your comments.
