the illusion of death and the adventure of life

Here is one of two inspirational blurts. The morning is usually the time I delve into prayer, letting ideas come. This day, I thought about death and life. Here are my musings:

There is no place where the Christ has not gone before you.

Absolutely no place is hidden from God.

Think of it. It is as if someone has taken your hand and whispered, don't be afraid. Even if the landscape is scary, the Christ says, It's allright, I've been there before and there is a way out. Come. Follow me.

Along the way there are precious lessons that you are learning. How rich life is, how compelling and attractive love is, how much good has triumphed in your life, how easy it is to dispel fear and satisfy longing with the spiritual truth that you are totally loved and have always been loved, cared for, nourished and celebrated.

Your deepened trust in Christ's leadings helps to widen your arena of love for others. You start recognizing the love, selflessness and goodness that others bestowed on you. Forgiveness starts to flow. Pain is released. Frightening images of the past shrink away in the magnitude of the love you now see as ever-present.

Faced with images of death, you see that this too, is only a frightening image, that melts away in an understanding that you always were, are and will be a spiritual being, inseparable from your source - God.

You entertain the idea, once again, that life is a divine adventure. Only now it has a whole new meaning. It has gone beyond experiencing the pleasures of life to understanding the source of life. You laugh! It was there all along! The divine adventure of understanding the infinitesimal tenderness of God in all the details of life and the magnitude and power of God in moving mountains of staid beliefs and crusty orthodoxy to reveal a beauty that inspires, redeems and brings you into all joy.

The adventure of understanding God as All-in-all.

There is no disease. No viral infection, testing periods to see if matter will come up with some name, some cause, some claim.

There is no disease, no dis - ease. That is swept away in rush of inspiration that speaks and says I AM THAT I AM.

You are because God is.
God is Love. You are the direct reflection of that Love.

The adventure is about seeing that light affects the darkness, you get to see how penetrating light is. You lose nothing good, only darkness. All that is good is a part of this light.

Below are excerpts from Science and Health that explain the scientific law of life and the illusion of death.

S&H 162:12
Experiments have favored the fact that Mind governs the body, not in one instance, but in every instance. The indestructible faculties of Spirit exist without the conditions of matter and also without the false beliefs of a so-called material existence. Working out the rules of Science in practice, the author has restored health in cases of both acute and chronic disease in their severest forms. Secretions have been changed, the structure has been renewed, shortened limbs have been elongated, ankylosed joints have been made supple, and carious bones have been restored to healthy conditions. I have restored what is called the lost substance of lungs, and healthy organizations have been established where disease was organic. Christian Science heals organic disease as surely as it heals what is called functional, for it requires only a fuller understanding of the divine Principle of Christian Science to demonstrate the higher rule.

S&H 418:26
Include moral as well as physical belief in your efforts to destroy error. Cast out all manner of evil. "Preach the gospel to every creature." Speak the truth to every form of error. Tumors, ulcers, tubercles, inflammation, pain, deformed joints, are waking dream-shadows, dark images of mortal thought, which flee before the light of Truth.

S&H 423:8

The Christian Scientist, understanding scientifically that all is Mind, commences with mental causation, the truth of being, to destroy the error. This corrective is an alterative, reaching to every part of the human system. According to Scripture, it searches "the joints and marrow," and it restores the harmony of man.

S&H 428:3

"Life is real, and death is the illusion. A demonstration of the facts of Soul in Jesus' way resolves the dark visions of material sense into harmony and immortality. Man's privilege at this supreme moment is to prove the words of our Master: "If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death."
