As we gain the broader viewpoint, we shall see that Life must contain two fundamental characteristics. We shall see that there is an Infinite Spirit, operating through an Infinite and Immutable Law. In this, Cosmos, and not chaos, finds an eternal existence in Reality. Love points the way and Law makes the way possible. Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 43
With all the chaos we have witnessed this past week, we must remember the transitory nature of any and all temporary, outward conditions, and deepen our faith in and connection with the Universal Order and Harmony. Moving through shock, anxiety, and anger, we continue following the Infinite Wisdom that whispers Its guidance and the Divine Love that sings of greater Compassion. Let “none of these things” move you out of the sacred sphere of God’s Perfect Life, for it is eternal, while the external is already in the process of transformation.
Recalling that everything in this Universe is Energy, and Its nature is to change on the outer, while maintaining Its integrity in the inner realms of the Infinite, we can rest in reason and move in confidence. Divine Love truly is the underlying, Universal Presence, guiding, nurturing, and revealing to us the larger Reality. The Law of Mind is our constant, reliable bringer of newness, as we wisely plant creative, peaceful, powerful, productive ideas and maintain our focus on them.
This is clearly what is ours to do today, and every day forward, for the Spirit uses us for Its powerful and loving expression, and we use the Law to keep our minds set on that which is true, that which is beautiful, and that which is “of good report.” Let’s keep our vision clearly on a world of Love and Harmony we know is the Greater Plan for all of us.
Each Sunday at 10:30 A.M. EST, we bring you a live-streamed Celebration from our Sweet 16 facility, with simply the presenting minister and the production crew, so you may be with us virtually from the comfort of your home. This may also be viewed or revisited at any time of the day or later in the week. Centers for Spiritual Living theme for 2021 is, “Timeless Wisdom; Evolutionary Vision,” and our theme for the month of January is, “Back to Basics; Forward to Foresight.” Keeping with Science of Mind tradition, we devote the first four Sundays of the year to the basic concepts, found in the introductory chapters in the Science of Mind. This is a great opportunity for long-time students to review and for new folks to learn about our teaching. This Sunday’s topic is: “Courting the Presence; Directing the Law,” based on Introductory Chapter III. As you log on to our website, www.cslphilly.org you’ll be directed to You Tube or Facebook. Sunday Celebrations and daily “Love Notes” from Rev. Mike and me are archived there for continued viewing on the Live Stream link.
