Today, we celebrate the 247th anniversary of the Independence of our country, enjoying parades, picnics, and fireworks to delight in our freedom from British rule. Here, in Pennsylvania, there is great history of this time, including battlefields and commemorative plaques. Isn’t it interesting how our two countries have long since been friends and allies and how we still tend to maintain keen interest in the royal family! It is a bit like young people struggling to establish their own identities, resisting their parents’ “rule,” and finding (hopefully, healthy) ways to break away. Eventually, everyone reaches out to their loved ones and creates a more stable and adult relationship with one another.
While we all need to establish our independence from external influences, we are wise to open our hearts to a conscious and creative interdependence with Life Itself, as well as with the dear ones who matter to us. As we mature mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, we develop a greater perspective, willing to create healthy connections with those with whom we might have experienced restrictive relationships. Even when our country’s independence was declared, many people remained unfree for many years, including women and enslaved people. Slowly, we began to honor one another in an interdependent association. Let’s move forward together in Grace.

Our spiritual work is best done in serene and faith-filled acceptance, relying on the generosity of Spirit and the dependability of the Law. We are wise to become aware of any areas of doubt or concern that might, otherwise, impede the fulfillment of our hearts’ desires, as we transform them into a positive, creative system of belief. A healthy expectancy opens our hearts and minds to the ease and joy of receiving our Good, and maintaining such a clear and receptive instrument insures the continued flow of blessings in our lives.
We understand that “The idea is father to the experience,” meaning that our thoughts produce conditions in our lives and in the world. Our conscious intention is the most essential ingredient in our creative work, as those undiscovered thought patterns within us continue to play out in our circumstances until we finally recognize and transform them. Making a clear, conscious, wise, compassionate, and powerful choice generates the highest and best results in our individual lives, in our Beloved Community, and far beyond. The world truly is in need of our deep faith and our continually expanding consciousness.
