Living In Love Or F.E.A.R.

When we express love we express our true essence, God. Think of how you feel when you demonstrate love or when love is demonstrated to you. In those moments we are in communion with our true essential nature, in conscious contact for…God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him (1 John 4:16). A bedrock truth of living is that a sufficient expression of love will erase any problem or difficulty. “Where there is fear there cannot be love. The best way to rid ones self of fear is to mainifest divine Love” for “Divine love never fails…” For in truth, are not all of our problems fear based? Are we not driven by the fear that we will either not receive something we think we need or lose something we have? And isn’t worry just an outpicturing of fear?

The Great Carpenter taught that we cannot serve two masters, so where we place our focus, regardless and sometimes in spite of current circumstances, is the key. Are we focusing on the fear (the world) or on the spiritual (God)? “To realize God as Love is the remedy for fear.” Though cute acronyms typically make my teeth itch, this one has some value: FEAR-False Evidence Appearing Real. God is either everything or else He is nothing, no middle ground, the thoughts we entertain habitually will be expressed in our lives and the choice is always ours. What will we choose to express today, fear or faith? Remember “Where there is fear there cannot be love” that “There is no condition that enough Love will not heal.” By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another (John 13:35).

Electric Apple Pie, Probably Alamode Part 2

Our Indwelling Presence is not a “portion” of God, but God himself and proof of our true divine self hood. Consider an electric circuit. The electricity (God) is present throughout the circuit (us) though invisible. We only “see” the action of the electricity when we flip the switch and the bulb (our Divine Mind) illuminates.

Our physical life is like our apple pie from yesterday, probably alamode; each day a little more gone until only the tin remains to be recycled, no deposit required. Our true self, that which exists beyond the physical, our soul, the I AM is never diminished, never proportioned always whole and eternal. For: We are not human beings in search of the miraculous, a spiritual awakening, we are spiritual beings experiencing the human condition, one day at a time. God, like the electric current, flows through us, always there, just waiting for us to flip the switch and embrace enlightenment. Oh, and I bet you never look at a piece of apple pie, probably alamode, the same way ever again.

Electric Apple Pie, Probably Alamode Part 1

Consider the apple pie. When you remove a piece, the whole is diminished by the size of the slice you have decided to enjoy, possibly alamode. The original apple pie and the slice are composed of exactly the same ingredients, in the same proportions, only the size different, the slice merely a smaller representation of the whole. Soon others become aware of your pie experiment and the “whole” pie that began our lesson is now only represented by a crumb filled pie tin; the original portioned to the many, probably alamode.

When considering God many think of Him in this way because it is logical. Believing that God is so large He can break off pieces of Himself without concern of ever becoming an empty tin. If this were true however regardless of how small the piece removed, the whole, like our apple pie, is still diminished. But, in truth, God is never diminished, cannot by His nature be diminished. He is as complete and whole today as a year, a thousand, ten thousand years ago. So, if we are not only connected to God but His spark resides within each of us, what is God’s nature?
