My book club met tonight, and I was the hostess. I had not read the book. As is our custom, we went around the room and everyone told what they thought of the month’s read. I stated that I was being selfish and I had not read the book, because if a read did not leave me at a better place than when I started, I’m not interested in spending time with it. Actually, this “it” is not only books, but everything in life. Perhaps I’m feeling my so-called mortality, or maybe I am being small-minded. Whatever the case, I do look at every moment of every day and ponder how I can help situations, or bring others out of pain. I’m currently reading Pema Chodron’s book “Getting Unstuck”. It is helping me understand that many situations in this life are “sticky”. This, to me, is worth further examination. I don’t feel bad about not reading something which can help me understand the horrors of prejudice. I already understand that. I want to learn more about helping people leave behind the beliefs which keep them stuck in a life which does not serve them or anyone else. Namastè.
“Ideas of Truth alone are reflected in the myriad manifestations of Life, and thus it is seen that man springs solely from Mind. The belief that matter supports life would make Life, or God, mortal.” Mary Baker Eddy Science & Health Page 543: 25-30
