We lack nothing. There is no lack in us. God asks nothing of us and we have no need to ask anything of God. The promise of God’s creation of us is that we (God and us) are One. We always have been, we are now, and we always will be. This is the Will of God. This is the reality of who we really are. Even when we see ourselves as separate and mistakenly think that we can act apart from the One, we are One with each other. The mistaken thought only makes it seem that we are apart. The mistaken thought only makes it seem that we are lonely, attacked, sinful, or have anything to fear. Yet, even though we seem to be in danger, we are safe, cradled in the arms of Oneness.
The relationships we share with each other are truly holy, for we are a part of each other and part of God. We are One and therefore holy. Any idea that denies the truth of our wholeness and our health, our Source of help, and our Call to healing and the Call to heal must certainly be a sick idea. As we deny our true identity, our savior waits, as does the world, for our healing of that one sick thought. And we are not apart from the waiting savior and world, for we are One, but do not see our Oneness. And so we see ourselves as either One or separate, for we cannot see or believe both at once.
Under the mistaken idea that we are not One, we see the world upside down, from a perspective it cannot possibly be rationally understood. So we grasp at any little explanation we can think up. Our world seems to spin out of our control so we make up any explanation that seems to give us a place to get a footing. We then identify our body as our identity. We give it meaning and power it does not have. And so we identify ourselves as separate; our body seems to be our home. We use the body to witness to the dream of separation.
But, the body can be seen differently. We can see the body as our aid to reawaken to the awareness of our true home, the holy home of Oneness we never left. Our true home is built on the awareness of our holy relationships with each other. As we begin to shift our trust and belief to the Source of our being, we find safety in the promise we made with God in creation. The world can rail around us and we rest in the ark of safety in which that promise shelters us. And so the body, our idea we once identified as “me”, becomes a means to liberate us from the mistaken ideas and thoughts we had once thought were true. It then adopts the purpose, just for a little while, of salvation and the return to the awareness of who we really are where we realize we lack nothing.
