Off Your Cross

"Christ was not crucified -- that doom was Jesus' part; For Sharon's rose must bud and blossom in human heart." (from "Christ and Christmas" poem)

Our Christ-essence thrives forever in SPIRIT-LIFE. It is never affected by the betrayals, perfidy, pains, distresses, downfalls and deaths of deluded corporeal sense. LIFE-SPIRIT is impelling our eternal, Christ-composition to be manifested in our humanity as healing, joy, love and progress.

LOVE's Crescendo

"No blight, no broken wing, no moan, Truth's fane can dim; Eternal swells Christ's music-tone, in heaven's hymn." ("Christ and Christmas" poem)

We are MIND-LOVE's harmonious and eternal composition, integrated into LIFE's never-ending crescendo of beauty, vigor and immortality. Deterioration, ruin, fragmentation, pain and mortality are the carnal mentality's self-deceptions and they can never corrupt our spiritual structure. As the intonations and vibrations of Christ play in our thought/heart then these matter-based discords fade away and we delight in ascending health and goodness.

JR Blog: LOVE's Healing Grace

JR Blog: LOVE's Healing Grace: LOVE's Healing Grace And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 10 And he said...

And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 10 And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away. 11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Jehovah: Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: Jehovah was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake, a fire: Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a soft gentle voice. (Darby, I Kings 19: 9-12)

Eddy: “The Soul-inspired patriarchs heard the voice of Truth, and talked with God as consciously as man talks with man.” Also, “The understanding, even in a degree, of the divine All-power destroys fear, and plants the feet in the true path, -- the path which leads to the house built without hands ‘eternal in the heavens.’”

Self-righteous, condemnatory and prideful behavior appear in both religious and non-religious people. They act like a mental fog which robs us of kindness, empathy, compassion and healing power. Bad influences can be perniciously deceiving, or loud and intimidating. But because they lack TRUTH, they are false and impotent. On the other hand, spiritual thoughts -- the "voice" of TRUTH -- exude the preponderant power of LOVE-GOODNESS. They represent MIND reflected in us, and with them we exude grace, intelligence, and healing efficacy. They vanquish sickness, lack, fear, anger, insecurity, envy, resentment and vengeance. Divine grace is ultimate power because with its holy gentleness it blesses and redeems all.

When troubles besiege us and we are lost and disconnected from GOOD/GOD, let’s recall that GOD/SOUL needs us for its own existence.  This is why we are always connected to TRUTH/GOD.

In the synagogue was a man who had the spirit of an evil demon in him; he screamed out in a loud voice,  Ah! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Are you here to destroy us? I know who you are: you are God's holy messenger! Jesus ordered the spirit, “Be quiet and come out of the man!” The demon threw the man down in front of them and went out of him without doing him any harm. The people were all amazed and said to one another, “What kind of words are these? With authority and power this man gives orders to the evil spirits, and they come out!” And the report about Jesus spread everywhere in that region. (GN, Luke 4: 33-37)

Eddy: “Jesus cast out evil spirits, or false beliefs.”  And, “He understood man, whose Life is God, to be immortal, and knew that man has not two live, one to be destroyed and the other to be made indestructible.”


PRINCIPLE has equipped us with Christ’s command to expel suffering and sin.  Irrespective of how bad conditions are, LIFE-TRUTH is infinitely more – in fact, it is the all-good of our lives.  TRUTH-impelled magnificence, intelligence and wholeness define us, overthrow all afflictions, and multiply our health and supply.  


And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. And God was with the lad, and he grew. And he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.  (ASV, Gen. 21:17-20)

Eddy: “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.”  Also, “In divine Science, man is sustained by God, the divine Principle of being.” And, “Love is impartial and universal in it adaptation and bestowals.”

When troubles besiege us and we are lost and disconnected from GOOD/GOD, let’s recall that GOD/SOUL needs us for its own existence.  This is why we are always connected to TRUTH/GOD.  LOVE/GOD’s prolific and empowering outpourings of comfort, health, wisdom and blessings are pervading our lives at every moment.  They liberate us from troubles, direct us in productive pathways, and generate victories.  LOVE is our inexhaustible well of dynamic and healing solutions.
