"The Infinite, which is God, leaves Its creation free to discover itself, to uncover itself, to reveal itself, to become itself."
-Raymond Charles Barker
"I look to the future with great and pleasurable anticipation, knowing it will expand my opportunity for radiant self-expression."
-The Science of Mind, page 246
I believe that growth is a choice. There is a moment, either conscious or unconscious when we decide that we want to grow and are willing to do what it takes to do it, or we shrink back, having decided the sacrifices required are too great.
When we decide to move forward in faith and absolute surrender, the rewards are profound, but we do not know that at first. There is always that moment of pause after the step is made where we neither see nor feel anything happen. We are left to wonder about our decision: "What will happen? Will God catch me?" That is the moment where our faith is tested.
When we push off from the safe harbor of our habits-healthy or unhealthy, past our fears and attachments to our comfort zones, we make ourselves available to Divine Change-the kind of change that has the power to dismantle our blockages, realign our relationships, revolutionize our finances, to miraculously correct the chemistry of every aspect of our lives. In truth, nothing can be more scary, and make us feel more vulnerable, but nothing can revolutionize our lives in the most dramatic, positive ways.
This is the moment it becomes apparent: do we Trust? Are we willing to trust? Will we choose to trust?
“A quantum leap into the unknown, into uncharted territory is massively exciting because there’s infinite possibility and expansion available there, total freedom to let go of what’s gone before and any worry about what might be…
But rather to be in the co-creative moment of the present NOW…
To create what we desire and want to see happen in our lives.”
-Center for Spiritual Living E-Side Sermon
