You live in Spirit

"Thy kingdom come."
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art everpresent.

Thy Holy Spirit is come, Spirit is everpresent.

Spirit is - right now - inspiring you to awake in His likeness.

Spirit moves your thought as much as inspiration moves your heart. Be open to Spirit's blessing. Don't be afraid. Don't let fear blind you to Spirit as the Adorable One already with you, right here.

As you awake to Spirit's everpresence, you lose nothing - nothing except a mistaken view of yourself. And you gain everything as you open your heart and thought to Spirit.

"Question.--What is the scientific statement of being?
"Answer.--There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.
"

This is who you are right this moment - whether you know it yet or not.

But you do know it. Intuitively.

You don't live in sin, disease, death.

You live in Spirit.

You don't live in limitation, lack, loss.

You live in Spirit.

You don't live in fear or sorrow or confusion.

You live in Spirit.

You don't live in loneliness, pain, frustration.

You live in Spirit!

The world your physical senses tell you about is not all there is. To you - or anyone else, for that matter! It seems like that is all there is, but the physical senses can't tell you the whole story.

What can tell you then?

Your spiritual sense.

"Spiritual sense, contradicting the material senses, involves intuition, hope, faith, understanding, fruition, reality."

So try listening to your spiritual sense. Try it. Test it. It takes some practice. But make the effort to actually listen to your intuitions from Spirit.

How do you know if you're listening to Spirit? You'll be inspired! And when you feel that inspiration, give it some hope. Give it some expectancy. Let that inspiration light you up!

And then: practice. Yes, just like anything worth learning, it takes practice. Be faithful to your inspiration by feeling it, testing it, living it! Then you'll begin to see - and understand - how close Spirit is to you, how much the Holy Spirit loves you.

And feeling that love that God has for you in turn inspires you to live God's Love out loud in your own life. This then is a glimpse of reality: the Holy Spirit holding you and the universe in His loving embrace.

Spirit reflected in an inspired life! your inspired life!

"Thy kingdom is come." The Holy Spirit really is everpresent with you, right here, right now.

Live it!

"The Holy Spirit really is everpresent with you, right here, right now."

Amen. The Holy Spirit is always with...as is magic...as are miracles...as are all the blessings we claim to desire and claim not to be experiencing. All that's required is that we open our eyes, minds and hearts to the amazing bounty in all forms that's already and always present for us.

Great post, Mark...and great theme for a blog.

Mark David, thank you for your sweet message. And yes! I also love how all we have to do is open our eyes, minds, and hearts to the Light and Love that are always already present for us - as us!
