The Divine Presence that is truly who we are shines within us. It is part of our Creation. And it cannot be hurt, damaged, or put out. It shines in all its holiness within us for eternity. The only thing we can do with this shining Presence is choose to let it shine through us or to prevent it from shining through us in this world. This all depends on our belief about who we think we are. In a like way, there is no limit to the power of a Child of God – us. We can only choose to limit or express that power. Our belief that we are limited is the choice we make that limits our awareness of who we really are.
The Christ Spirit is within us. Spirit dwells in our higher mind, the mind that was created by the Creator and is One with and inseparable from the One Mind – the Mind of God. We have, however, made the choice to make a lower mind that we have chosen to identify as. This lower mind believes it is separate and independent from the Whole. Our choice to believe that idea is the belief that set up our separation from the awareness of who we really are. We still are the Love, Peace, and Joy of our Source, but we have chosen to hide it from our awareness – our mind. So our higher mind goes on knowing who we really are, yet honoring our lower mind’s choice to think we are separate from the rest of creation. Jesus called this hiding our light under a bushel basket! And we have believed our lower mind run by the ego that there is no light, love, or peace there.
Spirit within us waits. Spirit gently calls to us. Sprit patiently waits for us to make another choice, to come to the place where we want something other than separation. The wall we have put up between our higher and lower mind is not real, though we believe it’s real. When we look at the wall, all we see is the wall. But, when we look beyond the wall to what is real beyond, the wall dissolves into nothingness. The hand of Spirit reaches out to us inviting us to take it and walk hand in hand with each other into the awareness of our truth. Our world begins to transform before us, not because its form changes, but because our perception of it changes. We begin to see the world differently through the eyes of Spirit.
Joining in the awareness of who we really are lifts the bushel from our light and it shines forth, not only in the Realm of Heaven, but in the world of form. It shines on our sisters and brothers calling them to the awareness of who they really are. As we remain in this awareness of our truth, we experience the deep Peace Love, and Joy of our Source. When we experience this deep peace, love, ad joy, we know we are living from our higher mind – the One Mind. If we experience feelings other than these, such as fear, anger, loneliness, or lack, we can use the presence of these feelings as an indication that we have shifted back to the lower mind governed by the ego. Now we know it’s a simple shift in our thinking that will bring us back to the awareness of who we really are and the shining presence of love and light.
