Health and Wealth and Wholeness

"Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need. It is not well to imagine that Jesus demonstrated the Divine Power to heal only for a select number or for a limited period of time, since to all mankind and in every hour, Divine Love supplies all good." -- Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy; Page 494, Lines 10-14

"He would comfort you, although He knows no sorrow. He would make a restitution, though He is complete; a gift to you, although He knows that you have everything already. He has Thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. For Love must give, and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a world of form. These are the forms which never can deceive, because they come from Formlessness ItSelf." -- A Course in Miracles; Workbook 186, 13:2-5, 14:1

We are told by Scripture that we are made in the image and likeness of God, Who is pure Spirit and All-in-All. We are reflections of eternity, radiating the Infinite Love that is Our Source. The very definition of infinity is that it cannot be limited or defined in any way, in any direction. Omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent... these are all words we use to attempt to describe and define what is undefinable.

As radiant images of the One, we are limitless Spirit. Just as the ray of sunlight is one with the sun which is its source, we are One with the Allness of God Who Is Our Source. And just as the sun, by being what it is, radiates sunlight, God, Being the Allness of Life, Truth, and Love, radiates US. We are the Divine radiance.

ALL that the Father has is ours by right of spiritual reflection, here and now and always. A conscious awareness of Being One with God is its own gift... awareness of the Grace of Being is beyond any earthly experience. And yet, we are promised by Scripture and by Jesus and by all those who have lived the experience of Oneness that Awareness of Being One with God IS our health and wealth. That the Glory of True Being is reflected even in the dream, on earth as it is in Heaven.

As radiant images of God, we are everything and have everything. What more than ALL could we want or need? Can we ever have more than ALL? It is the tunnel vision of the false, limited self that reflects distorted images of lack and sickness. Limited perception is simply the distorted, false reflection of a limited, contracted awareness. Returning our minds and hearts to God, we return to our true Self, and our true function as radiant reflections of our Source.

As the Divine Radiance, we know the Allness of Good, individually and collectively. Mary Baker Eddy wrote that the Divine Mind of God continually supplies us with beautiful and refreshing images of thought to meet every imagined need. As the Divine Radiance, health and wealth and wholeness of every sort become Divine Ideas that are our heritage as Radiant Images of God.

"The Will of God is One, and ALL there Is. This is your heritage. The universe beyond the sun and stars and all the Thoughts of which you can conceive belong to you." -- A Course in Miracles; Manual for Teachers 20, 6:9-11

"Do you really believe you can make a voice that can drown out God's? Do you really believe you can devise a thought system that can separate you from Him? Do you really believe you can plan for your safety and joy better than He can? You need be neither careful nor careless; you need merely cast your cares upon Him because He careth for you. You are His care because He Loves you. His Voice reminds you always that all hope is yours because of His care. You cannot choose to escape His care because that is not His Will, but you can choose to accept His care and use the Infinite Power of His care for all those He created by it." -- A Course in Miracles; Chapter 5, Section VII, 1:1-7
