Blessed Resurrection!

Easter is the time that is symbolized by the life and experiences of Jesus the complete crossing out of negative thoughts, emotions and behavior patterns rooted in the illusion of fear; fear having been established in the conscious or unconscious choice to live separate from God, the Source of creation--our true essence. Easter represents the crossing over via the "transforming of our minds" from a state of living attached to external and material manifestations; to the awareness of our inner divine nature and trusting in our inner God-essence to live the life we were created to live. The continual crossing out of anything and anyone suggesting different from our Creative Source calls for the use of the 70X7 forgiveness law.

In the movie, The Passion of Christ did you notice, the more Jesus walked and bore the cross the more was heaped upon him. Well, take a good look at your life encounters. Does it appear that the more you learn about who and what God is in, through and as you; the more is heaped upon you and even from those whom we may have least expected.

This 40-day Lenten season has had a significant impact on me this year. I want to share with you a few of the revelations I learned through my experience. Unity Village offered a free booklet for anyone interested in following a 40-day Lenten program for spiritual growth. The title of the booklet, 40-Days to an Awakened Christ-Consciousness, is a tool to help make practical the teachings of Jesus to be applied in our life on a day-to-day basis. I learned that I have to keep pressing til the breakthrough of living the abundant life that I know is within my soul. Each day, I have to know God is with me, pushing me through things that I humanly look upon as barriers but to God are stones for stepping upon and lessons for blessing. I have to keep denying belief in anything other than God as my Source and my Supply in every area I must be willing to listen to the inner small voice to know that which I am called. In doing so I am surrendering my personal, limited will to the Will and the Way of the Living Spirit which knows all and whose way is absolute and boundless good.

It was not only reiterated but burned with mental impression on my mind that in my day to day walk I have to keep up the practice of denying, forgiving, affirmative prayer, and circulating the goodness that expresses through me with a thankful heart and allowing it to be my conscious experience which in reality Biblical scripture in Acts 17:28 calls "being"-ness. This is a day-to-day, step-by-step walk for me so I pray that anyone reading this will become mindfully aware of the Christ Presence which is the divine love within you keeping you standing and moving strong to consciously choose to do the Will of God here on earth.

Happy Resurrection, Rebirth and much Light.

In the Living Spirit,

Ethel
