Most of my friends know I lost my younger sister – a major tragedy (light of my life) – over 40 years ago.
Mama said – and I took her LITERALLY : “We must remember Life is eternal.”
I swear to God (okay to say? ) I was FOREVER HEALED of the worst grief I could imagine … healed!!!
I still feel April’s presence 40 years later and I still rejoice.
Hope this is encouraging to someone.

TRUTH IS NEVER UNDER ATTACK
Over and over we urge you to leave things alone — leave body alone, disease, lack, and whatever seems to be troubling you, alone. Leave the argument that you have a separate finite mentality, alone. Don’t try to find out why you lack this or that what the cause of your difficulty is, why you continue to be frustrated, why you do not have plenty of this world’s goods and why everything you plan does not go sailing along in a spanking-fine breeze. Do not try to analyze why you appear to have failures in what you attempt, and why Truth does not pour readily into your every waking moment. Do not try to discover why everything does not immediately straighten out when you “voice” Truth, or why some of those who “appear to know more than you do” sometimes seem to go sour, quit the work, give up the ghost, become ill, or whatever.
~Alfred Aiken
If God is infinite, it must be self-evident that God cannot be contained within the mind, yet we go on believing that some concept of God in our mind is the infinite God. If the Spirit of God were as close to us as to be within our mind, we actually would be children of God, and as such would be set apart from this earth. But, instead of having the Spirit of God, what we really have is only a concept of God, a concept which may envision God as a man with a long white beard sitting up on a cloud, as a man hanging on a cross, or as a hundred other different concepts. And what do we do? We pray to these images in our own thought and expect to receive answers from them. Is that sensible? Is it reasonable?

It’s hard to believe that people do pray to such images even when they protest that that don’t see them literally: they’re praying to a SIGN OF SEPARATION at best! Spirit, God within everyone doesn’t need an image, or imagined form. RJS
Consciousness Unfolding: God Revealing the Infinity of Being
Now I want to explain one reason why we never treat a person, why we never give a treatment to any person. If anything in my writings has led to the belief that I would ever give a treatment to any person, let me correct that concept now. ..I have never given a treatment to anyone, and I have never directed my thought to a person. I have never addressed the individual consciousness of any person.
Never have I said, “You are spiritual; you are perfect; you are God’s child.” Never have I allowed the name of a patient to come into my thought while I was “treating.” Never have I allowed the face, or thought, or outline of any face or body, to come into my treatment. I do not, I cannot, give a treatment until the person asking for help is completely out of my thoughts.
My treatment is based on lifting thought up to God and on eliminating any sense of person. I jump, as fast as I know how, up to the word God: I lift my thought over the person’s head, not because God is up there, but because for me it eliminates personality and person, and then I am in God. Then I come out from God, and let flow out whatever truth I know about God-all the truth I know about God. I never connect it with any individual.
And the reason is this: God is the only individual in the world. God is infinite individuality; God is the only place, the only person, the only power. God is the only reality.
If I turned away from God, I would be treating an illusion.
Healing comes the moment we have God alone as all—God as mind as form.
Lay belief down; put belief’s convictions to rest forevermore. Free of the grip of belief, fill your awareness with the things of God, spirit and truth.
Spiritualize your awareness.
Use your thought as it is supposed to be used, to gently and joyously ponder the things of heaven.
You then quickly witness the wonder of health, love, prosperity, and freedom emerge through the dissipating fog of hypnotism.
HOW TO BE SURE TO STAY FRESH, HUMBLE AND EFFECTIVE IN MEDITATING
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
It requires boldness and daring to release God, to acknowledge that we do not know God and that we do not know how to pray. It takes courage to be done with the old and to seek the new, to prove that we can live as children of God, as the very temple of God, glorifying Him.
The belief in two powers is what traps us into
vacillating between the pairs of opposites,
harmony and discord, poverty and abundance,
life and death, sickness and health …
there is no good and there is no evil in any form …
this truth frees us and brings the peace that passes understanding.
The only devil is the knowledge of good and evil.
To be rid of the pairs of opposites,
we must stop the merry-go-round of the human mind,
and that actually is not as difficult or as impractical as it sounds.
I have been asked many times, “How do you stop thinking?”
And I have found one way.
The minute I can look at any person or condition
and know that it is neither good nor evil,
my thought stops and my mind becomes quiet.
That is the end of it because then
there are no thoughts left for me to think about it.
I do not think good of it and I do not think evil of it.
All I know is that it is, and then I am back at the center of my being where all power is.
Our mind is restless only when we are thinking about things or persons either in terms of good or evil,
but the mind is at rest when we surrender all such concepts.
WHETHER YOU LOVE DONALD TRUMP or not, there’s a great deal you can do to benefit this country and the world: ‘see’ him (‘see’ being an Action Verb), really, really ‘see’ him as the perfect image and likeness of God – not for a few minutes, but for always!
Hey, I said absolutely nothing about what I think he should do or not do, but I can promise you that your own spiritual contribution will help everyone immensely: SEE DONALD TRUMP AS GOD SEES HIM – AND DON’T STOP !!
