The Thing Itself


 

The Thing Itself

— Amanda Pope, RScP

 

Freedom is the birthright of every living soul.


— Ernest Holmes


This month we are going back to the basics to explore the foundational ideas of the Science of Mind teaching. Amanda Pope, RScP, starts off the exploration by talking about “the thing itself”. Ernest Holmes used this term to refer to the infinite intelligence that we often call God or Spirit in order to depersonalize the concept and allow for deeper understanding of the nature of the divine creative power.


Join Amanda Pope and the rest of the Sunday Six on Sunday, January 10, 2021 at 10:30am on Facebook Live.

 

This Week’s Science of Mind Theme

Grounded Beyond the Beginning


All is one, and always has been. We envision all people, all beings, and all life as expressions of God. We see a world in which every person lives in alignment with his/her highest spiritual principle, emphasizing unity with God and connection with each other; a world in which individually and collectively we are called to a higher state of consciousness and action.


There is One Infinite Reality: undivided, complete, and whole within Itself. This Oneness creates everything out of itself, and, therefore, includes both the absolute and relative, tangible and intangible, physical and metaphysical aspects of reality.


Being spiritually grounded in the consciousness of oneness and living in alignment with spiritual truth requires a process of constant communing with the Divine. Being grounded with conviction in this Reality of Oneness manifests Truth in action and form.


Through the Unity of One Mind, any individual has the ability through the power of the word and spiritual practice, to ground the self in oneness and manifest the thought of God.

MIND-FULL MOMENT


“To live in the light of a new day and an unimaginable and unpredictable future, you must become fully present to a deeper truth — not a truth from your head, but a truth from your heart; not a truth from your ego, but a truth from the highest source.”


— Debbie Ford
