“I trust my brothers, who are one with me.” I'm very happy to have this beautiful Course in Miracles lesson to guide my thoughts away from a defensive mode to an understanding which affirms the goodness of all -- and explains the reason why. Many teachings help us to deal with material circumstances, and they are lovely reminders of how to improve what we call the human condition. Some teachers tell us that we're humans having a spiritual experience, but very few tell us that we're actually spiritual. In divine metaphysics we learn that everything is an idea of God. I am a spiritual idea right here and now. And you are, too! And so are all those who don't realize the truth of their spiritual being. I'm going to pick a person who seems to fall into this category and concentrate on their true Being as an expression of divine Love. This feels like a Science experiment, don't you think? I shall record the results!
"It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind … one Life, Truth, and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brotherhood…will be established."
Mary Baker Eddy, Science & Health Page 467:9-13
“Trusting your brothers is essential to establishing and holding up your faith in your ability to transcend doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself. When you attack a brother, you proclaim that he is limited by what you have perceived in him. You do not look beyond his errors. Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self that lies beyond your own mistakes, and past his seeming sins as well as yours.”
A Course in Miracles W-181.1:1-4
