"Metamorphosis"
by Judy Griffith
More than three decades ago, I knew a young man who died. The truly horrible thing about the situation was that his family never allowed him to know that they knew it was happening. And he never told his wife or parents that he knew he was never going back home with them. They missed an opportunity, in my opinion. I thought of that situation this evening when a dear friend called to let me know a mutual friend of ours was nearing transition. Her daughter was with her and had a speaker phone so we could say goodbye and remind her of how loved she was by all who knew her. What a blessing to face each stage of life and allow the emotions we feel to be felt by our loved ones, also! At one point during our short conversation, I remembered something from Joel Goldsmith's writings, and asked her if she knew the quote: "People who have shared spiritual Love are bound together for eternity." I didn't feel separated from Cynthia when she moved far away, and I don't feel separate now. That Love we shared in metafizzie meetings, Course in Miracles meetings, Christian Science services, and Joel Goldsmith study groups is alive as much as it ever was. Happy Trails, dear Friend. You are loved...
"Life is real, and death is the illusion. A demonstration of the facts of Soul in Jesus' way resolves the dark visions of material sense into harmony and immortality. Man's privilege at this supreme moment is to prove the words of our Master: 'If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.' To divest thought of false trusts and material evidence in order that the spiritual facts of being may appear, -- this is the great attainment by means of which we shall sweep away the false and give place to the true. Thus we may establish in truth the temple, or body, 'whose builder and maker is God.'" Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 428:3
