We, as humans, have a tendency to focus on what we don’t want, rather than what we do want. I remember a teacher once telling me to reinforce behaviors in our children, rather than trying to turn them away from things we do not want them doing. For example, if you say, “Don’t play in the street”, all they hear is “play in the street”. I see similar behavior in ways we affirm our safety in different situations. Rather than knowing that we are all a product of divine Mind and by listening for this still, small voice we are led in paths of safety and harmony, we tend to defend against the dangers we see around us. With this in mind, my goal is to listen — to listen quietly, inwardly, for that intuition which tells me when to slow down the car, when to delay leaving the house, what to do in any and every situation. I am one with and inseparable from divine Love, And I need only remember this glorious fact!
“The still, small Voice for God is not drowned out by all the ego’s raucous screams and senseless ravings to those who want to hear It. Perception is a choice and not a fact. But on this choice depends far more than you may realize as yet. For on the voice you choose to hear, and on the sights you choose to see, depends entirely your whole belief in what you are. Perception is a witness but to this, and never to reality. Yet it can show you the conditions in which awareness of reality is possible, or those where it could never be.”
A Course in Miracles T-21.V.1:6-11
"It is only by acknowledging the supremacy of Spirit, which annuls the claims of matter, that mortals can lay off mortality and find the indissoluble spiritual link which establishes man forever in the divine likeness, inseparable from his creator."
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 491:12-16
