Living Consciously - The Sunday Lesson - July 25 2021

Dear friends,

​ Emerson said “we are wiser than we know and we are better than our theology.”

Daily life, interacting with Nature, observing our own feelings and how we can change them with a certain new thought, shows us that power is within us and everything that lives. Trees do not need ritual and rules to grow nor cats to find their mouse.  Humans have the highest use of their intelligence and even the freedom to use it ignorantly.  We are not the pawns of some Heavenly King; no, we are the forever becoming of the only begotten. We are meant to live fully and freely in abundance and love.

Why then, is the world in such a mess?  Emerson said we are weak in principle and strong in superstition. The times we are currently experiencing are such an important tipping point, it cannot be overstated. This is it!  Will our species claim its inheritance and use it wisely or will we cling to childish notions of reality and watch everything disappear?  Jean Houston said we were born for these times. We have what is necessary to turn things around. We have imagination, creative intelligence and a responsive quantum field that supports our clarity and conviction.   What shall we give it to do?

It is not any more a global issue than a personal one. How we conduct ourselves moment by moment is equally effective.  Be kind. Be careful with children. Be responsible with your money, your consumption, your votes. Most of all, be happy and loving. Take your heart seriously. What we feel deeply colors everything we do. Spend some time with the Self. Everything we have been seeking elsewhere can be found there.

Stay tuned in,
Carol Carnes
