A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson #300
“Only an instant does this world endure.”
We're beginning to see life as wholly different from what we've been taught to believe. Intuition and inspiration are guiding realities when we allow them to be. But occasionally people feel their creativity, their inspiration, is blocked. Some may think their muse is silenced. In examining the reasons for this occurrence, there can only be one reason: my self won't be silent in order to allow my Self to be heard. Obviously, as a reflection of God we cannot be without inspiration. The omnipresence which we reflect can be no less than all presence. The ego presence of material existence, which we think of as our reality, is no more an omnipresence than is this instant we are living and calling life. Reaching for reality, striving for Truth -- none of these material actions make any sense. There is nowhere to reach and nothing to strive for. To search for inspiration is counterproductive. And so if you're feeling uninspired, or maybe just kind of "blah", remember your Source of creativity. Then walk in the woods, dig in the dirt, do anything which brings you in contact with All that Is. Let's wait for the inspiration that is such a part of us that it can't be silenced. Listen, Love, Live.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Life is divine Principle, Mind, Soul, Spirit. Life is without beginning and without end. Eternity, not time, expresses the thought of Life, and time is no part of eternity. One ceases in proportion as the other is recognized. Time is finite; eternity is forever infinite. Life is neither in nor of matter. What is termed matter is unknown to Spirit, which includes in itself all substance and is Life eternal. Matter is a human concept. Life is divine Mind. Life is not limited. Death and finiteness are unknown to Life. If Life ever had a beginning, it would also have an ending.”
