The last phrase in the Eddy quote below reminds me of a popular new age saying that I've always liked: Fake it 'til you make it! "We must act as possessing all power from Him in whom we have our being." (MBE) Often we feel incapable of believing, much less understanding, that the reality of our being is limitless. We are capable of so much more than we realize. Some of the descriptive words used above have gotten a bad reputation because of abuse of power and dominion being exercised in awful ways. But let's shed those notions and see these words defined as empowering and helpful. The power bestowed within us is a wonderful, beautiful thing! And so if we must pretend today that we are Love and nothing else, if we must fake it, let’s be certain that we will make it! It is something I will continue to do today when I feel fear, or lack, or irritation with someone. My will and God's will are one and the same. I acknowledge that at every opportunity.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"The fading forms of matter, the mortal body and material earth, are the fleeting concepts of the human mind. They have their day before the permanent facts and their perfection in Spirit appear. The crude creations of mortal thought must finally give place to the glorious forms which we sometimes behold in the camera of divine Mind, when the mental picture is spiritual and eternal. Mortals must look beyond fading, finite forms, if they would gain the true sense of things. Where shall the gaze rest but in the unsearchable realm of Mind? We must look where we would walk, and we must act as possessing all power from Him in whom we have our being."
