I had a phone conversation with a good friend and the talk turned to social media, various political analysts, the state of our nation, and how to find our way through the destruction we are witnessing. I do not allow myself the laxity of thought which dwells on negativity, but I also am a proponent of being led by Grace and Love to follow the steps required in this daily life. You will never find me listening ad nauseam to repetition of the so-called news, but I often check in with people such as Heather Cox Richardson for guidance through the maze we are navigating. I will soon be putting together a list of podcasts and newsletters which are reliable for straight-up truth in the reporting of daily events. Along with these sources, there will be newsletters which give a spiritual perspective to daily events, while building accurate historical perspectives (Marianne Williamson), and folks who give us answers to why this is happening at this time (such as Iain McGillchrist). Please let me know if you’d like a copy of these sources once they are compiled. Now is not the time to be ill- or non-informed. Nor is it the time to be quiet. “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” Dylan Thomas
“This material world is even now becoming the arena for conflicting forces. On one side there will be discord and dismay; on the other side there will be Science and peace. The breaking up of material beliefs may seem to be famine and pestilence, want and woe, sin, sickness, and death, which assume new phases until their nothingness appears. These disturbances will continue until the end of error, when all discord will be swallowed up in spiritual Truth.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 96:12-20
“It seems to be the enemy without that you attack. Yet your defense sets up an enemy within; an alien thought at war with you, depriving you of peace, splitting your mind into two camps which seem wholly irreconcilable. For love now has an ‘enemy,’ an opposite; and fear, the alien, now needs your defense against the threat of what you really are.
“If you consider carefully the means by which your fancied self-defense proceeds on its imagined way, you will perceive the premises on which the idea stands. First, it is obvious ideas must leave their source, for it is you who make attack, and must have first conceived of it. Yet you attack outside yourself, and separate your mind from him who is to be attacked, with perfect faith the split you made is real.”
