Spiritual resource to share: corrections
I was thinking about mistakes today and realized that there are a few mistakes about mistakes that need clearing up.
1. The first misconception to reverse is that mistakes define us.
Have you ever thought that something you did caused enough harm to define you for life? An article was written by an individual who was freed from the idea that her life was forever marred by the past mistakes made when she realized that God created her life -- it was ever new. Mistakes don't define us. God does. God is the one who maintains and sustains us. Our "willingness to become as a little child" and to honor God's constant creation helps us really get what is new! Our decision to live aright can begin now and this claim of our God given authority over sin, disease and death defines us.
2. The second misconception is that mistakes confine us.
Have you ever felt that some mistake that you or another has made severeely limited your experience? A couple years ago, I made a major mistake with my son’s airline ticket and it looked as if his longed for trip overseas would have to be cancelled. But when I was able to see that all things are possible to God and to forgive myself for making such an error, I was able to move on and listen for ideas that helped restore the trip. And in three days, he was able to go on that trip overseas.
God governs our lives. God is the source of all activity, harmony and bliss! The only activity that comes from a mistake is the adjustment or correction that is needed.A mistake is by definition an absence of something good. Let’s shorten that. A mistake is an absence – a nothingness. So there is really nothing that can confine us.
3. The last misconception to tackle is that mistakes refine us.
Sometimes there is a notion that God sends us obstacles to strengthen us. This seems incongruous with a loving God. It isn't the mistake or the obstacle that causes us to grow. It is the yearning for more of our freedom that causes us to grow.
The only activity required of a mistake is its correction! If we are trying to find a cause for some mistake we will either tire of this line of reasoning, or realize that the correct answer (or correct view of man) is the only answer and the only way out of the most perplexing questions. Our patience, persistence and grace refine us.
Mistakes can be corrected. Forgiveness helps to wipe away whatever influence we have given to these mistakes and clears our path to see God working on our behalf to restore justice, well-being and health.

making self-righteousness be still
Spiritual resource to share: releasing the heart
This is a tricky one. Self-righteousness can be such a tangled mess. But getting out of that mess is such a JOY!
It sometimes starts like this: I have a question about the rightness of an activity - usually it is the rightness of someone else's activity. I pray about it and come up with a conclusion that seems reasonable. I start studying and find all kinds of quotes and rules that support my view.
I make my stand. There is a subtle (or sometimes blatant) sense that others' behaviours need to change. I come to feel that by making this stand I am doing the only right thing. And that, if I don't make this stand, the world would be compromised.
So what is wrong with this picture? There is no God in this picture - except as a back up to justify my pre-conceived right way to do things! There is no humility, listening, dropping all sense of self, and willingness to change. This picture hides the unspoken fears, the pride of position and prejudices. Somehow it feeds the small ego into thinking that it is very important to be the one who can right this wrong. It also suggests that by restricting or controlling the behaviours of others, we are doing the right thing.
Here are some ideas have come to my rescue when I have struggled with this: "...humility... is the genius of Christian Science (Miscellaneous Writings by Mary Baker Eddy). Cast the beam out of one's own eye. (See Luke 6.) Let go (of ego) and let God. All of these ideas have helped me break the back of self-righteousness from time to time.
I once worked in a traveling performing group. Our schedule was tight with a show in a different city almost every night. The five of us were together 24/7. When little tensions would flare up, we dealt with them fleetingly, but enough so that we could get back to work. Finally at one point, the tension and pressure of the performance schedule fueled with self-righteousness and a growing frustration led to one very alert member to call for a time out.
What happened next was lovely. After one of our shows, we all met in the back of our traveling RV. We all agreed that we needed to talk.
We first established that we loved each other and that we appreciated each other. This was a surprising and delightful thing to do! It helped to disarm any self-righteousness any of us may have felt. We kept it up until we felt that we firmly had a foundation of love, trust and respect.
We openly talked about our hopes and our motive to make our whole adventure a blessing to others and a support to each another. Even though we all understood what the mission and purpose of our adventure was when we signed up, we needed to re-fresh that and affirm what we were all about and what noble goals we had hoped to achieve. It was in this atmosphere of a unified purpose that we could go forward.
It was only then that we brought up some things that were a concern to us. Then and only then could we go into removing what were becoming increasingly heavy burdens to our work. Being sure to not accuse anyone of wrongdoing, we were able to impersonalize the errant actions and re-establish our trust of one another. Then we each stated individually how certain actions made us feel.
Gone was the sense that if a person felt a concern about something, then they obviously didn't know enough about God! (Doesn't that even sound silly?) Gone was the sense that one person had to carry the whole group. (Whew!) And what was revealed was a sweet kindness that we had always had toward one another, but had been temporarily buried under the pressure of the schedule, misunderstandings and hurt feelings.
The tour went on very successfully. But even more so, I walked away with a major lesson on how to make self-righteousness be still. It is that can be constantly fine-tuned!

Struggles are okay.....
Spiritual resource to share: honest struggle
.....but not much fun. However, they are a perfectly acceptable way to grow spiritually!
Although there have been times that I have soared with inspiration and overcome challenges, many times I have struggled with my own human will and God's will, until I could let the human element go and feel at peace with God's plan. And I have felt the benefits of this struggle. MBEddy writes: "The struggle for Truth makes one strong instead of weak, resting instead of wearying one."
But often, on the heels of wrestling with something, I have felt a sense of shame or guilt. I'd like to delve into this a little deeper, so I can blast it.
Shame would come in and try to say, Well, you must not be a very good person if you are sick. Or Why do you have to call a Christian Science practitioner AGAIN? You must really be bad off.
Guilt comes in and tries to lay on us that we haven't studied enough, prayed enough, been a good person enough, and as a result, (of course) we are sick.
I have gotten better and better at recognizing this double whammy of shame and guilt. When I take steps to deal with a conflict and find myself struggling with it, I am reminded that it takes courage to face up to conflict, that this is how healings begin. It is a point of strength to deal with a perceived weakness. I am not ashamed if I have to pull back from my regular duties to take care of myself. This is a part of loving my neighbor as myself! To try to go to great lengths to hide a struggle can sometimes encourage dishonesty with oneself and others, so dealing with it honestly and if needed, openly, gains spiritual power.
Guilt is about lack - and the thought that lack can actually cause something. It is a little silly to think that because I didn't clock in enough hours to pray and study, that that would hinder eternal Mind/omnipotent Love from doing its work. It takes a moment to commune with God. MBEddy says plainly: "Become conscious for a single moment that Life and intelligence are purely spiritual, — neither in nor of matter, — and the body will then utter no complaints. "
When we are struggling or we see others struggling, we can feel and give compassionate, warm and comforting support to one another -- a healing comfort that points upward and leads toward healing.
To close, I'd like to give a few examples of the blessings that come from honest struggles:

too blessed to be stressed
Spiritual resource to share: blessings
A word game: Did you ever notice how familiar the word 'bless' is to the word 'bliss'? Bless has many meanings: to endow, to preserve, to protect, to approve, to praise and to glorify and to invoke divine care. When we bless others or feel blessed, we feel the protection, our endowment of good, the approval of God and stand on the understanding that God is all powerful and all good. This is blissful!
The preface to Science and Health starts out "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings." Leaning, yielding, accepting, acknowledging God's sustaining control - these ring out peace and wring out stress.
We have a new baby in the family - a new niece - plump and healthy, she is just radiantly beautiful (and this after only seeing one picture of her!) For all the flurry of activity and details that happen this time of the year, her arrival has helped to put all things into perspective. Love is what it is all about. Love is what brings forth the coming of Christ. Love is what we are given, "filling up and spilling over" an endless waterfall.
And now for a cute kid story: A mother was badly stressed out. Details, responsibilities and the fear of lack must have all ganged up on her that day. She was quietly sobbing to herself "Oh, I am such a flop as a mother!" Her little girl heard her and came up to her and said "Mommy, don't be so sad. In the Bible it says, 'Fear not, little flop, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.'"
No matter who we feel we are, what struggles we have, God is right there pouring forth more than we can even fathom. Mary Baker Eddy helps to bring this point home:
What that quote says to me is that we are home. We cannot go any farther than God. We have arrived right at His door.
And I'll close with yet another cute kid remark made as a response to the question "What does love mean?" (love those cute kids!): "Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Such blessedness, such bliss!
Any blessings come your way lately?

God is Love. Can we ask Him to be more? God is intelligence. Can we inform the infinite Mind of anything He does not already comprehend? Do we expect to change perfection? Shall we plead for more at the open fount, which is pouring forth more than we accept? The unspoken desire does bring us nearer the source of all existence and blessedness.
What that quote says to me is that we are home. We cannot go any farther than God. We have arrived right at His door.

I am here
Spiritual resource to share: presence
I remember the countless times that one of my boys took either a tumble, got scared, or felt lost and was so easily comforted by my presence and those words "I am here." Potent stuff. This reminded me of how God must care for each of us and helped me get through a rough patch a few days ago.
I had a couple of days where I kept having this he-said-she-said kind of argument going on in my head. I just struggled against this ruminating, rehearsing and repeating thought. I realized it was part of a more disturbing sinking feeling of seeing everything that I felt most sacred turning inward, trivial and forgettable.
I prayed and wrestled some more. And then, what happened next was quite lovely. Some hymns came in to save me. Whenever one of these thoughts would come up, immediately a hymn would sweep in and yank out the unwelcomed thought. Another thought and another hymn would sweep it out. Soon, most of my day was spent singing and sweeping as I did what needed to be done for that day.
The following day I had the same thing happen. But more, I could feel God's presence - God saying to me "I am here."
The next day, I spent more time in prayer. At first I was simply pleading to feel the assurance of God governing. This slowly turned me toward a subtle suggestion that I could love. This felt fresh. I could love. And the baggage of past accomplishments which moulded my future expectations could be surrendered to a larger plan.
Understanding God as Principle, Love and Truth, I could yield and trust Principle to establish the right reasoning I wanted to see in this situation. I could trust Truth to reveal whatever needed revealing, and I could trust Love to "remove properly whatever is offensive." God, our Father - Mother God, does not leave any of his children comfortless. "Trust Truth" - was my other line of defense; "Let in the light" - was another line of defense.
In feeling the largeness of God's presence, the mental arguments stopped. Something fresh was brewing and I knew that my part in this was to love and to comfort.
"I am here." What comforting power and presence. It is made up of I AM, as God names himself in Genesis "I am that I am." All that God is - is here right now - in all His fullness and possibilities, in all Her tenderness and nearness.
I'll leave you with an excerpt from an old favorite poem entitled Countdown to Sunrise by Rosemary Cobham:

I lightly rise to explore eternal day.

You can't be denied the fullness of life
From Science and Health (p. 288):
A good deal of our time here may be spent struggling or trying to overcome adverse situations. And yet, what is on the other side of those situations is a wider unlimited view of life that shows our dominion over challenges, our strength and unlimited joy.
Let me illustrate.
Sarah and I were equally matched whitewater kayaking buddies. One trip was particularly memorable. We were the rookies of a group of paddlers that were going to do a beautiful whitewater stretch on the Montreal River (Midwest USA). In the first big rapid we were going to do, there was calm water (an eddy) above and below a large drop, with some manuevering that needed to be done between several rock outcroppings. Our friends set up safety ropes and the more experienced ones went down first. Sarah was going to go before me, I would watch her from the shore and cheer her on, then I would go, she would cheer me on, etc.
Well, she left and got into the eddy above the drop. And there she stayed. And stayed. I knew something was wrong. Nervously, I got into my boat and joined her. She was scared. I was scared. This was the biggest rapid we had ever done. After a while I said, "OK Sarah, I just have to share some God stuff with you, OK? It's this. Perfect Love casts out all fear. We don't have to be afraid. We can absolutely LOVE what we are doing and we will be fine." Simple. That was it. We both took turns going down the rapids, nailing the currents just right, got the right angle in the drop and turned into the eddy below. Our friends all cheered. We were ecstatic!
Not only was it thrilling to conquer our fear, but to be immersed in the powerful currents, carving out our boats alongside the rapids was another dimension of focus, joy and harmonizing with the power of nature. We felt that unlimited nature of God.
When we are in our own eddy, so to speak, in that calm spot before a challenge, we can take that time to know that God is Love and we are immersed in God's love. This perfect Love - helps to melt away personal agendas, doubts, envy, or self -deprecation. We are free to see the glorious possibilities God has for us.
In healing, the role of prayer can help inspire us to the point that we are willing to accept our perfection, our light, our genius. God certainly does, and we are made in His image and likeness. So what is holding us back? Challenges in whatever form, do fall away, as they have no sound basis, whereas peace, health, joy, etc. have divine authority for their eternal and constantly creative expression.
We can't be denied the fullness of life. It is there. And fear cannot separate us from the glorious possibilities that God has planned for us.
gloriously yours,
Kim

Science reveals the glorious possibilities of immortal man, forever unlimited by the mortal senses.What a sentence! I find myself inspired again and again by this simple Truth. We are, right now, in the midst of glorious possibilities and there is no force on earth that can take that away.
