Sermon Highlights--Dealing With Appearances

Below are some highlights, helps and hints regarding Sunday's sermon.

• The basic principle on page 1 "God, which is goodness, perfection, love, and harmony, with no opposite or opposition, is omnipresent. Every individual including his life and his body , is in reality an expression of omnipresent God." [I like the more absolute statement "...is in reality the evidence of omnipresent God."]
• Remind yourself of this foundational statement throughout the day, every day, until we meet Sunday.
• How do I best help a loved one who seems to be in trouble? Go back to the foundational statement. Every individual including his life and his body, is in reality an expression of omnipresent God. This is their reality NOW. The best help you can give is to clarify your perception of her/him. Are you seeing this one as a patient with ____, one in trouble, or as the EVIDENCE of omnipresent perfection without an opposite?
• Remember, get your BUT out of the way. You cannot have omnipresent Harmony AND something else too.
• Take the statement and contemplate it. Sit with it. Consider every nuance of it. Be Silent and let further Revelation come forth. You are not using this statement to fight against something. YOu are acknowledging it as the only something.
• FEAR is the result of judging by appearances. Remind yourself that the fear has no presence and no power. Refuse to let it operate.
