The final five workbook lessons in A Course in Miracles stress the use of few words. Having watched a documentary entitled "Thrive", I'm tempted to use many words and talk of things we can do to facilitate change — such as, shopping locally with small businesses, supporting organic farmers, and other ways of living in a state of awareness. But instead, I'll focus on something this film stressed as what we can do in order to heal our world: be quiet. We are urged to find our core of strength through silence, which connects us to everyone. This fits right in with the reminder to use few words. This film could be thought of as frightening, but I see it as a reminder that every thought and action counts. Let's join together in silence and see where it leads us!
"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
“This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace. And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son.”
