What do you think of when you hear the word "repent". Many connotations have been given this word by religion and dogma. I don't think of it as having anything to do with confessing sins in order to receive absolution, nor to do with being sorry for things, and nothing to do with guilt, and certainly it's not begging for forgiveness. I like a definition heard long ago: "return home". When we allow ourselves to see, hear, and feel with spiritual sense, we are returning to our original state of being, and remembering we never went away. So this idea of repenting, or returning home, is only a matter of letting loose anything which is unlike Love. We are the image and likeness of God. God is Love. We are Love. This is a state we cannot leave, but we can lose sight of this perfect peace. Today I will see the Love that is God, the Love that I am, in everything and everyone.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Heaven is not a locality, but a divine state of Mind in which all the manifestations of Mind are harmonious and immortal, because sin is not there and man is found having no righteousness of his own, but in possession of ‘the mind of the Lord,’ as the Scripture says.”
