Last night in ministerial class, we had a discussion about where our International Church is going now that we are getting ready to unite---Religious Science International and United Church of Religious Science. We will be one international church called "International Centers for Spiritual Living."
The leaders are reviewing all the standards, rules, tenets of both churches and deciding what they will embrace, what they will let go of and what they will combine. As this is happening, the question that comes up for us all is "What do I believe?" and that question is what we discussed last night in class.
I was so quiet in class. I just wanted to sit back and listen and digest, but today my thoughts are ready to be dealt with.
What do I believe? I believe that all of me is God. I believe I live in a Universe of Love, Law, and Order. I believe this is true for each of us.
So, I can recite what I believe, but until I embody it, they are merely words to me. To embody means to act as with total surrender. Notice, I said "as" not "as if". There is a big difference to me. When I am acting "as" God, then there is not one ounce of doubt in me. I am merely moving forward in my divine evolution.
There is this incredible thing happening within each of us. It is our Divine Evolution, that wanting to be more, to express more to live more fully. We let it out in our own unique way when we are in action, when we are in unconditional love, when we are in service. We can say "I AM in Body." Oh, my God, I just got that Embody. I embody = I AM is Body, our individual bodies. But of course I Am Here!
So, what stops this total embodiment of Spirit. Are there two me's in each of us? No, not exactly, there is only one me in each of us with volition or choice. That is both our freedom and our bondage. We get to choose. Wow! So, why would we choose not to embody, when embodiment is total freedom. Could it be belief. Is there still a part in us that says "I am Less than that." We must each ask ourselves this question honestly. If that is true for us, then we must be willing to let go of it---the old worn out useless belief that we are less than.
This is what I know right now and you can say it with me...
I AM HERE and I accept it now. I embody It now. I AM is in Body now! And so it is!
