Weekly Quote

I and the Father are One - (Jn 10:30)

UNITED WITH GOD I HAVE NO FEAR

The practice of Truth brings about a change of attitude in us. Before we saw ourselves as lone beings in a complex environment involving many separate people, things and forces. Now we see ourselves as bonded to the Author of all life, sharing His good vision of it, protected and guided by perfect Mind and Soul.

The attitude (or consciousness) of separation gives importance to every negation - discordant circumstances, conditions, behaviour. United in mind and heart to God, our perceptions penetrate to the good and stability that underlies these appearances, and enables us to accept this good alone into our inner and outer lives. We "turn a blind eye" to negation, whereafter its influence stops for us.

United with God, which is our true and natural state, all lingering fear departs us. No longer do we look for specific channels of good in our lives or specific outcomes. We live in faith that all is well. The Lord is our shepherd.
