[Marsha's thoughts]
I love the first two sentences of today's lesson! "Your holiness reverses all the laws of the world. It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance and limits of any kind." Haven't you always felt that to be true? Isn't this why Harry Potter plays in our head for hours via reading and movies? We know -- we just know! -- that there is more to all this than meets the mortal eye. I get very excited when pondering these concepts! How grand it is that we have so many writings from people who know A Course in Miracles, and that we have more than a hundred year's worth of detailed writing from the Christian Science movement. Through these tomes we find encouragement and support when it seems the material world's pull is easier to bow down to than it is to walk through, to the Truth it is masking. And what a fine tool the internet is for this study! A simple search on either discipline puts information at your fingertips in an instant. Tapping into our inner knowing has much the same result. An interactive word game I play online is a great experiment in thought. For instance, imagine you have seven letters to choose in order to figure out what a word is, and this is what you begin with: _ O _ _. There are a great number of possibilities! But by opening up to intuition, I just know what letter to choose to move forward. What a great experiment to prove the effectiveness of the demonstration of this way of looking at things! And that's how it is with everything we encounter when looked at through holiness, through wholeness. If we choose based on material evidence, everything may seem to be a matter of luck. When we allow our holiness to guide us, there is only the peaceful certainty of Good.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"Lulled by stupefying illusions, the world is asleep in the cradle of infancy, dreaming away the hours. Material sense does not unfold the facts of existence; but spiritual sense lifts human consciousness into eternal Truth. Humanity advances slowly out of sinning sense into spiritual understanding; unwillingness to learn all things rightly, binds Christendom with chains."
