Dear Family and Friends,
Many may be experiencing or feeling that the tide has shifted from a sense of Freedom on this physical plane to a feeling of lack and limitation. My sense and sensibility for those feeling this way are that they are experiencing sadness.
As stated on Sunday, the perfect storm for sadness is guilt, blame, and shame. However, the reality is that we all, at some time or another, experience this emotion of sadness and can use it to reclaim the Truth of who we truly are.
Dr. Holmes says that Freedom is the birthright of every living soul. That is my absolute favorite tenet of Science of Mind Declaration of Principles. It is what keeps me going when things get heavy and dark for me in the physical.
Each of us has a responsibility to free ourselves from any unwanted condition. One of my many blessings is observing, participating in, and facilitating classes that allow for each person to help themselves out of any and all conditions. For example, I received permission from one of the students in Practitioner 1 Training to share a portion of one of their latest papers.
Sometimes, we might hear or listen a little more deeply to those we identify with as our peers. I don’t place myself above (or, for that matter, below anyone else); however, there is a sense of responsibility that doesn’t come lightly. Therefore, the expectation is that, of course, that is how the ministers run their lives. That is what they are supposed to do. If you are of this belief, you are absolutely correct.
So perhaps, a thought from a student might bring forth the inspiration for each reading this to do that which is required to shift out of their current conditions. The following are a few words from one of our newest and brightest lights.
