Day 109: I rest in God.
Day 110: I am as God created me.
What comes to mind when you think of the word "rest"? I first think of sleep. Then I think of peace. Then I think of dreams, of rejuvenation, of comfort and security. When we are experiencing these states-of-being, we are in alignment with God. The act of resting, then, in and of itself is a Godly act.
When we are at rest, we are not only with God, we are in God, as lesson 109 points out. What this implies is that God is all around us. God encompasses all that is, all that ever was, and all there will be. So does that mean God is also in the hunger, in the poverty and the war that rages in our world? Though God did not create these things, He is present within them. These dark forces are of our own making, but the good news is that they do not really exist. Where God comes into play is in the possibilities these illusions hold. For instance, the possibilities that have arisen as a result of hunger may be that we will learn to share, that out of such a devastation we will learn to cultivate the earth harmoniously in order to yield more than enough food for everyone on the planet. These gems within the shadows of our world mark the road to our salvation. In Truth, these shadows do not exist, but because we have made them, God has made Himself known in their midst in order to set us back on track.
Just as we are always within God, we have also remained pure and holy as He created us. Any guilt, shame, or other variations of of fear we may feel are simply not real. That's not to diminish how real they may feel at the moment, but when we are awakened to the Truth of our being, such feelings will have no weight, for they cannot exist in Light.
We are Light. We are beautiful bending beams of Light. As God is Light, and we rest in God, we must then be Light as well. When we leave the physical world, we return our full awareness to this essence, but it still remains there throughout our lives. We are, each one of us, as God created us, and God created us as Light.
I leave you this evening with a poem I wrote a couple years ago, a discovery I made (or a reminder I awoke to) on a particularly romantic autumn evening. I hope you will enjoy it.
We are all, each one of us,
Beams of Light, bending
To and fro
Along the wavelength
Pathways of our lives.
As our beams cross another's,
The Light brightens
At the intersection.
For some, the moment occurs only Once...
A thing to be cherished.
For others, the two cross repeatedly,
But only for a time...
Yielding lessons to be learned.
For still others, the light beams weave into one another for Eternity...
A perfect Harmony.
This is the Way of the Universe.
This is the Map of Love.
This is the Journey of the Soul...
Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
