If you tell someone they are made from divine Truth and Love, you may get a number of reactions, few of which would be in agreement with your statement. It doesn't bother me to think I am made from Love, or Truth, because I've always thought of these two words as synonymous with Deity. Now imagine someone you don't like or respect; perhaps he/she even seems repugnant to you. While it can be easy to see those we love as lovable, it's not easy to imagine someone who seems mean and cruel as being made by Love and Truth. So here is a point which must be addressed over and over, we needn't like what someone does to love their true incarnation as a child of Love, Spirit. I'm working on my thoughts about this tonight by researching writings about it. I leave you with some of these. Things are shifting quickly now. Don't be surprised if your thoughts are erratic. Be prepared to bring them back to Truth!
"I have stated that the basic concepts referred to in this course are not matters of degree. Certain fundamental concepts cannot be understood in terms of opposites. It is impossible to conceive of light and darkness or everything and nothing as joint possibilities. They are all true or all false. It is essential that you realize your thinking will be erratic until a firm commitment to one or the other is made. A firm commitment to darkness or nothingness, however, is impossible. No one has ever lived who has not experienced some light and some thing. No one, therefore, is able to deny truth totally, even if he thinks he can." A Course in Miracles T-3.II.1.
"Today we go beyond the grievances, to look upon the miracle instead. We will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees. We will not wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently lift our eyes in silence to behold the Son of God." A Course in Miracles W-pI.78.2.
"Question. -- What is the scientific statement of being?
Answer. -- There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual." Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 468:8
