I love that this lesson reiterates that there is no arrogance in the realization that I am here for the salvation of the world! We tend to feel that our material reasoning, our contrived actions and reactions are humble. And, alternatively, we think the admission that we share the thought of God indicates arrogance. We are frightened of the powerful capabilities which are ours by virtue of this acceptance. It seems to me that thinking we can do it all on our own is the height of arrogance. The understanding that I can do nothing on my own, but that I am capable of anything when I allow my true Self to be expressed, is powerful. By this humble yielding to the divine which we are, we are admitting that what/who we are is indeed spiritual. not material. From this point, there are no limits and we are free to live in Truth.
Mary Baker Eddy quotes: “Millions of unprejudiced minds--simple seekers for Truth, weary wanderers, athirst in the desert--are waiting and watching for rest and drink.”
