At-One-Ment with the Adorable One

"Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven."
Enable us to know, as in heaven, so on earth, God is omnipotent, supreme.


"If Truth is overcoming error in your daily walk and conversation, you can finally say, "I have fought a good fight . . . I have kept the faith," because you are a better man. This is having our part in the at-one-ment with Truth and Love." http://www.spirituality.com/dt/book_lookup.jhtml?reference=SH+21:1-5#jumpto

Our at-one-ment with God, the Adorable One, is ever possible, because God, the Adorable One, is ever present with you.

Divine Love is here now.

And you are the pen in the hand of God, writing His love letters to everyone in the Universe!

Being with God

"Hallowed be Thy name."
Adorable One.

If you actually adore someone, aren't you be quick to listen to what they have to say? In fact, wouldn't you hang on their every word? Wouldn't you give them 100% of your attention because you just love to be around them? And if they were to ask you to do something, wouldn't you be joyful to do it? And wouldn't you just be content to be together no matter what else is going on?

Well, isn't this then exactly what this verse of the Lord's Prayer is describing?

• An attitude of complete and joyful attention to the Divine.

This is your model for being with God, because He is the Adorable One. Pay attention!

Hallowed be Thy name, Father-Mother. Let us not just revere You, but hear You, and feel Your presence, and live as Your likeness.

Thoughts on the Tri-Unity of God

"Our Father which art in heaven."
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious.

"Hallowed be Thy name."
Adorable One.

"The eternal Elohim includes the forever universe. The name Elohim is in the plural, but this plurality of Spirit does not imply more than one God, nor does it imply three persons in one. It relates to the oneness, the tri-unity of Life, Truth, and Love." Science & Health, Page 515, Line 16-20

Please let me share some personal thoughts I have had about this tri-unity of Life, Truth, and Love. I have found it helpful to think about the tri-une nature of God like this:

Life, Truth, Love

God, Christ, Holy Spirit

Father, Son, Mother

Cause, Action, Creator

Word, Voice, Meaning

Water, Bread, Wine

Sun, Light, Warmth

Rod, Cup, Staff

King, Lawgiver, Judge

Rock, Tower, Shield

Commander, Healer, Comforter

Kingdom, Power, Glory

Life the sovereign Presence, Truth the Power-made-manifest, Love the Glory of the Great I Am, the Adorable One, God, the All-in-all.

Amen!

"After this manner therefore pray ye..."

"Our Master taught his disciples one brief prayer, which we name after him the Lord's Prayer. Our Master said, "After this manner therefore pray ye," and then he gave that prayer which
covers all human needs."

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"

Express your desires this way. Offer them up - sacrifice them - give them up! And for what?

"Not my will, but Thine, be done!"

Not my will - my desire - but Thy will, Thy desire be done. Where? in consciousness first, in soul, in thought awakening to a new and higher purer sense of desire, a desire that is:

• awakened from all egotism by the fire of "Hallowed be Thy name"
• healed of all loneliness by the fire of "Thy kingdom come"
• purged of all obstinance by the fire of "Thy will be done"
• cured of all lack by the fire of "Give us this day our daily bread"
• lifted out of all selfishness by the fire of "Forgive us our debts"
• led out of all temptation by the fire of "Deliver us from evil"

So that all that all that remains in us is our love of God, our Father-Mother, the all-harmonious Adorable One - who is everpresent with us here and now, all-power to awaken us to our true being as Life's reflection, to our embodiment of Truth, our being as Love-made-manifest.

What more could you possibly ask for?

So thank You for Your Life that You give us, Your Truth that awakens in us, Your Love that You shine in us. This is Your light. We will not let it hide under a bushel! This light is Your embodiment. There is nothing about us that is or can be unlike that Light. Your light shines in us, as us, everpresent Love reflected in love. And Love always leads us to exactly where we need to be and to what we love to do.

Thank you Father-Mother God.

"Jesus beheld in Science..."

"Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick."

Jesus beheld in Science the Hallowed Name of God where sinning mortal names and natures appeared to mortals. In the expression of this Hallowed Name of God, the Saviour saw God's own Nature made manifest and this correct view of man healed the sick.

The Hallowed Name of God is an influence ever present in human consciousness - the influence - the power and presence - of the Adorable One.

How would you act and behave and live if you knew this? If you knew the Adorable One was actually this close? What if you knew you could live without fear? What would your life look like? What would change? What would you be thinking about? what would you be doing? and how would you be living ?

Look hard and pay attention! Because a life without fear is exactly what God's will is for you - His prayer for you.

So pray:

Thy fearless will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
Enable us to know, as in heaven, so on earth, God's fearless love for you is omnipotent, supreme.

So give us this day our daily bread - our daily at-one-ment, our daily communion, our daily fearless experience of being Your complete expression. Let that grace be ours today. Let that unconditional Love feed all fearful famished affections - feed us Life and that abundantly, limitless, pure, whole, healthy, holy.

And let all fear of debts, of "not enough," of tresspasses, grudges, lack, want - let it all go instead by "keeping your eyes off your circumstances and keeping them on the Lord." Let it all go by living the Love that fulfills all want, cancels all debt, eliminates all sense of tresspass.

And let that Love lead us out of our fear of trails and temptations. And let that Love deliver us from fear of sin (which is all the "love" of sin is), fear of sickness (ditto!), and yes even the fear of death, yes, deliver us from the "love" of death - thinking that death is a solution, a way out, an answer for any problem - because it isn't. Death is an enemy. Life - abundant Life - is always God's answer, God's demand. Live!

For Your kingdom - Your everpresence - is Life that annihilates all fear. Your Truth-power overrules all fear and Your perfect glorious Love rules out all fear. Forever. Because You are infinite (here!), all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All. And this Truth is the law of annihilation to all fear.

Amen.

Give us this day our daily Communion

"Give us this day our daily bread."
Give us grace for today; feed the famished affections.

At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

In this simplicity, and with such fidelity, we see Jesus ministering to the spiritual needs of all who placed themselves under his care, always leading them into the divine order, under the sway of his own perfect understanding.... To the students whom he had chosen, his immortal teaching was the bread of Life.

Give us this day our daily bread, our daily communion with God, our daily companioning with God.

But to accept this bread, this communion, this companioning, you have to come home to God, enter the house - the consciousness - of God. How? The Bible says "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

So this is how you enter the house of God: through gratitude. And what is true gratitude if not the conscious acknowledgement of the true nature of God as omnipresent Good? How do you know that God is Good? Because God gives us the gift of grace - "he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." You don't earn God's love. God is just Good, universal Good, unconditional Good. You don't have to beg for the bread at His table. It is His 24/7 gift.

Recognizing this opens your thought to actually accepting His gift, to accepting what God really is, what His nature really is: all-harmonious, infinite good, divine Love. This is "Hallowed be Thy name" kind of thinking. This is adoring the Adorable One. And adoring is effortlessly lovingly hanging on every Word of God, is acknowledging Him, is entering into His courts with thanksgiving.

And what do you find there?

Your Father-Mother God's table set, your daily bread - specific to your daily needs - set for you. This is God's gift of "grace for today" feeding your famished affections - and calling on you to feed the famished affections of your neighbor. And maybe even the world.

You can always sit down with God. You don't have to earn it. You don't have to dress a certain way or say certain things or even believe certain things. And you certainly don't have to be "perfect". You just have to be willing.

Come to God as the disciples did to Jesus, after his resurrection, at their morning meal beside the Sea of Galilee.

There, they left their fishing nets, came ashore, broke bread and communed together with their risen Master. What an astonishing experience it was for them (see John's gospel and Science and Health). His ascending thought raised them out of grief and disbelief, forgave their fears and failures, awakened them to their true purpose, and so fed their real hunger - not just with bread and fish, but with the overflowing awakening here and now that God is Love.

This communion was also their companioning with Christ, with that True Bread which comes down from Heaven. So this too is how you commune with God: by leaving your nets - your tangled obligations, thinking you always have to fend for yourself, letting go of your burdensome duties, all those things that nag you and snag you and drag you into ways of the world. Christ calls you to leave all that. Christ calls you to sit in humble grateful adoration, letting divine Life and Love feed you, forgive you, lead you, deliver you.

In fact, Christ is calling you right now to give up your daily distractions for your daily Bread.

So sit still a moment. Open your thought up with gratitude. Let yourself enter that sacred space in your heart where God is. Let Him give you your daily bread, your daily grace, your daily communion, your daily companioning - your daily oneness with divine Love. Let "this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:"

As you do, you will wake up to see that divine Love is always with you. You have never been empty, never been famished, never been alone, never separated from God - but always only ever at one with Him, your perfect Mind, always welcomed and seated at His table, communing, companioning with "Our Father which art in heaven" - with our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious, forever.

So yes Father, give us this day our daily bread, our daily communion, our daily companioning with You. Give us that beautiful gift of Love's saving grace for today. Let it feed our famished affections, and help us share Your Love to feed the famished affections of those around us.

Obeying his precious precepts,--following his demonstration so far as we apprehend it,--we drink of his cup, partake of his bread, are baptized with his purity; and at last we shall rest, sit down with him, in a full understanding of the divine Principle which triumphs over death.

My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

The Adorable One (part 2)

"Hallowed be Thy name."
Adorable One.

The Oneness of God is His power. There is no "other." No other god before Him, no other power, no other attraction, no other Ego. God is the One, and the only One to be adored - respected, loved, listened to, reflected, worshipped.

When you look in the mirror, what does your reflection look at? You. Only you. You could say that your reflection has 100% focus on you. It doesn't look away - in fact, it can't look away. It can't be distracted. It can't look at something or someone else unless you do. In a way, you could say of your reflection, that you are its adorable one.

So should God be able to say of you - if you are His reflection (and you are). And then since you are His reflection, its natural for you to focus on God, to listen to Him, to let His light shine in you and through you, reflecting Him as He is. This is how you hallow His name, His nature, because you focus completely on Him, you seek only to know and reflect Him, shine forth what you know and feel of Him. You then are adoring the One God, the Great I Am, the only I or Us.

And this Adorable One is conscious of you - and of everyone. He knows you by name. He loves you, deeply, perfectly, completely. When you feel and understand this, then you begin to feel and understand that "Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present." Everpresent where? In consciousness. Here, right where you are, right now.

Feel and understand this. Think about how naturally you want to live in accordance with Love's all-harmonious nature. Feel this as your authentic being. Know that this enables you to comprehend that "as in Heaven, so on earth, God is omnipotent, supreme." This is a communion that awakens you to your unity with God, divine Love, that gives you grace for today, feeds your famished affections - and enables you to feed the famished affections of everyone around you. This is Love being reflected in love, Love forgiving you of all your so-called mortal history, all those heavy debts of false beliefs about yourself and others, all those temptations to think that you are "special" and separate. Love's forgiveness awakens you to what's already always true, delivering you from the so-called duality of good and evil, the Adam dream of wilfull, ignorant, or even seemingly fatal mistakes.

How? because our Adorable God is One. He delivers us. How? Because He is the only real power there is. And our Father-Mother God is the only presence there is, the only substance, the only intelligence there is - the only Life, Truth, Love, the only glorious All.

And He is focused on, reflecting on, you. You are His image, His likeness, His reflection, His precious child.

Hallowed be Thy name, dear Father-Mother God. You are the Adorable One.

The Adorable One (part 1)

This adorable all-harmonious God leads you out of the dream - the temptation - to think you're a separate little ego, lost, all out on your own, abandoned, unloved, alone. Your adorable all-harmonious Father-Mother delivers you from this dream - nightmare - of sin, sickness, discord, death, evil - delivers you WAKES YOU UP to find yourself as His own likeness, already present with Him, already all-harmonious and adorable also - because you are His reflection. Here. Now.
