Glossary:  God = one universal mind (not 'Santa')
(from The Science of Mind by Earnest Holmes) 
"As the fall of man was brought about through his own act, so the rise of man will be accomplished through his own act.  God already Is.  Salvation is not a thing but a Way; the way of salvation is through the realization of man's unity with the Whole.  Grace is the givingness of the Spirit to Its Creation and is not a special law, but is a specialized one.  In other words, Grace Is, but we need to recognize It.  It is not something that God imposed upon us, but is the logical result of the correct acceptance of life and of a correct relationship to the Spirit.

We are saved by Grace to the extent that we believe in, accept and seek to embody , the Law of Good; for the Law of Good is ever a Law of Liberty and never one of limitation.  Limitation is not a thing, but is a belief.  Freedom is a Divine Reality while limitation is an illusion, a false belief.

Salvation is an act of man and not an act of God.  Man damned himself and man must save himself, if he ever is saved.  He will save himself to the exact degree that he stops damning himself.  He will live in Heaven when he stops living in hell.  He will be healed when he stops being sick.  He will become rich just as soon as he sops being poor.  He will become as God when he stops masquerading as the devil.  He will be happy when he stops being miserable. He will be at peace when he stops becoming confused.  He will be filled with joy when he stops thinking sadness.  He will live when he stops dying.  He will be perfect when he stops looking upon imperfection; and he will be saved when he stops damning himself.  HE WILL BE ONE WHEN HE STOPS BEING TWO.  MAN, MAN, MAN, MAN, MAN, MAN, MAN; "The great Thou--I--and the great I--Thou.""

I can't help it. . .

. . . I have to mention Michelle Bachmann again, and I realize it's old news, but. . .

Let me get this straight. 'GOD' is sending us a message? An earthquake and a hurricane are (separately, or as a 'package'?) a message from 'GOD' that we, as a nation, are spending too much? That's CLEAR! Isn't it????

The bigger question here is, was she really joking as her campaign spokesperson said? Or was that a bit of damage control after the fact. (Were she and her husband joking as well when speaking of their efforts to 'convert' gays to heterosexuality?) One commentator stated that Bachmann does not let criticism of these gaffes get to her. She does not respond or retaliate, like a Sarah Palin, when the press latches on to her outrageous outbursts. The commentator says this is how a 'seasoned' politician behaves. For Bachmann, that's good. Right?

I say to that commentator, and to the press at large, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE cover the news. ASK Michelle Bachmann if she was joking. Give us the real Michelle Bachmann. Is she, in fact, Michelle Bachmann- sophisticated, urbane wit? Or is she Michelle Bachmann- hayseed, fundamentalist, tribal, pre-scientific rube?

I really want to know.
