“We shouldn’t view the state of the world with fear, because we shouldn’t have any fear. We shouldn’t view it with timidity because we shouldn’t be timid. But we should view it with intelligence, because the only sin is the lack of intelligence.” ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind Magazine, 1955
“We have to have the same faith in what we teach and preach and practice that science has or the gardener has.” ~ Ernest Holmes, The Philosophy of Ernest Holmes
Let’s embrace Ernest Holmes’ “Divine Fearlessness,” as we encounter situations external to us and seemingly out of our control. This is a natural outgrowth of our ever-deepening faith in the Power and Presence and Possibility of God. Truly, there is nothing to fear when we realize our constant nurture and guidance from the One Source. Our life is God’s Life, for there is none other. It is in this sacred remembrance that we are able to rest in supreme confidence and walk boldly into each day of our lives.
As we develop the Faith OF God, which is so much more authentic and productive that simply faith IN God, fears dissolve into the “natural nothingness” from which they came. We were designed to live intelligently, confidently and successfully, and it is our complete dependence on Spirit that invites this peace and freedom to accompany our every experience.
With Halloween occurring soon, our topic for Sunday, October 30th will be, “Leave the Fear; Grab the Faith,” as we discover how to convert fear to faith individually and collectively. We will live stream from the Inspiration Café, so please join us by going to our website, www.cslphilly.org and click on the orange “Watch Live” button. Look through the site to discover our coming events and to view past Celebrations and Love Notes.
When life seems challenging, or even downright “frightful,” it may be time to check the Practitioner Page on our website and choose to contact one for caring and competent support and Spiritual Mind Treatment.
With great love and respect,
Dr. Maxine
