A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson #275
“God's healing Voice protects all things today.”
So many human emotions seem precious. The fragile feeling which envelopes us following the loss of a loved one isn't often thought of as something to cherish. In times past, I may have wished this feeling away. Now, I choose to honor it as one of the exquisite experiences we are granted in this beautiful plane of existence we call life. As with love, we are told life is fleeting. That we should grab hold and not let go, because there is a finite amount of it. Our human experience of life and love does seem to come and go with the wind, and it can feel just as hard to hold onto. From the view of mortal mind, this is so. When looked at from our humanness, there is no predicting when we will cease to experience life or love. Accepting ourselves as spiritual Beings allows an expanded viewpoint of our experiences. Yes, they are to be savored. But enlarged perceptions of existence bring us something different. Knowing that our real selves constantly share divine, never-ending Love causes me to want to experience that here and now. And so I'll listen for this healing Voice we are told of, because an inner knowing tells me of its Truth.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Faith, if it be mere belief, is as a pendulum swinging between nothing and something, having no fixity. Faith, advanced to spiritual understanding, is the evidence gained from Spirit, which rebukes sin of every kind and establishes the claims of God."
