Bathed in Beauty and Light

I remember a time when so-called new-age thought was not often spoken of in the media, nor anywhere other than the privacy of our homes. Now, these new-old ideas are seen and heard everywhere. Every day we are witness to more proof that this shift in consciousness is happening now -- and we're talking about it! Thanks, Oprah! And even when these ideas are fictionalized, as in best-selling novels such as "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown, these possibilities are easily translated into plausible realities. This shift in consciousness allows us to embrace peace and harmony. Through a change in perception, we are understanding the truth of our being, and demonstrating that knowledge. This unfolding of consciousness is being realized in our own individual way. Every instance of pure peace we feel, each yielding of our personal sense to spiritual sense, brings us closer to living this realm of Love. We have always known this reality, but the knowledge has been forgotten. We are all needed at this time, to calm the tumultuous collective thought which fights the idea of such freedom! 

“Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity and endless giving. It is now so like to Heaven that it quickly is transformed into the light that it reflects. And so the journey which the Son of God began has ended in the light from which he came.


“Father, we would return our minds to You. We have betrayed them, held them in a vise of bitterness, and frightened them with thoughts of violence and death. Now would we rest again in You, as You created us.”

A Course in Miracles W-249.1:1–2:3


“God fashions all things after His own likeness. Life is reflected in existence, Truth in truthfulness, God in goodness, which impart their own peace and permanence. Love, redolent with unselfishness, bathes all in beauty and light."

Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 516:9-13
