Dear friends,
It is said there is an inner organ which knows the truth. This has been the experience of many who come to a New Thought Lecture for the first time. Sometimes they cry, sometimes they become very excited; or they will say ‘I knew this but I didn’t know I knew it.’ There is an echo in the soul which resonates with the words spoken. Growing up in western culture which is largely about commerce, we are sold products that do not do what they promise. Advertisements are misleading or false. We have a rather cynical view of what we are told. But when we find something that represents itself properly, we rejoice! It is akin to finally arriving home after a long and arduous journey.
What is the truth that the soul recognizes? Simply that our Source is within us; that we are in a relationship of co-creation; that thoughts tend to become things; that form and experience are projections of mind; that our natural state is wholeness; that the qualities of wholeness transmute themselves into human experience; that our part is to activate those qualities by identifying with them, claiming them as ours and expressing them. Vitality becomes health; Peace becomes personal well- being; Joy becomes a calm happiness; Love becomes relationships of all kinds; Intelligence becomes inner guidance and intuition; abundance becomes our supply. There is nothing between us and so-named “God.” It is a synergistic arrangement.
Obviously, this flies in the face of traditional religion. It is a liberating truth. Those who know it and practice it will not be fooled by the false claims of those who would keep us in their thrall. Freedom is the by-product of self-realization. The tools and techniques that help us to ‘remember’ are varied. They are study, contemplation, meditation, mindfulness, spiritual mind treatment (the evolution of prayer), conscious intention and circulation of what is already ours.
The old saying “The mind knows the truth when it hears it” applies to everyone. I truly believe the world is longing for it.
Stay tuned in,
Carol Carnes
