FREEDOM

BEING IS HOLINESS,

HARMONY…..

FREEDOM …..

The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty

--The Bible, Zephaniah 

3:17-19

pictures I took on a recent trip to Switzerland ..... Ahhhh the beauty, the strength, the power of God who is Love, all reflected in nature ... everywhere and all around 

Glory and Praise be to LOVE!

Mind one and all

Being is holiness, harmony, immortality.  It is already proved that a knowledge of this, even in small degree, will uplift the physical and moral standard of mortals, will increase longevity, will purify and elevate character.  Thus progress will finally destroy all error, and bring immortality to light.

Grace more beautiful still

Than beauty itself …

--La Fontaine—

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God …

--The Bible, Ephesians 2:8 …

Wide as our need Thy favors fall;

The white wings of the Holy Ghost

Stoop unseen o’er the head of all.

--John Greenleaf Whittier—

How wise and good it is to let those things and thoughts fall away that are nonessential and to embrace those which are essential … of course, it takes self-awareness …. –Eva-Maria--

Hope is the thing with feathers that perched in the soul

--Emily Dickinson—

Virtue is a disposition, or a habit, involving deliberate purpose 

or choice.

--Aristotle—

The superior man

makes the difficulties to be overcome his first interest;

success comes only later.

May the open hand be filled the fullest.

--Gaelic proverb—

On one occasion Brother Eckhart said: There are five things that in whoever has them are a sure sign that he will never lapse from God

First, though most grievous things befall this individual, never a murmur does he make – no word but praise and thanks is ever heard.

Second, at the most trying times he never says one word in his excuse.

Third, this individual desires of God what God will freely give and nothing else; he leaves it all to him.

Fourth, nothing in heaven or on earth can ruffle him; so settled is his calm that heaven and earth in topsy-turveydom would leave him quite content in God.

Fifth, nothing in heaven or earth can cheer him, for having reached the point where nothing in heaven and earth can sadden him, so neither can it gladden him, except as trifles can. [That would be the hardest for me to do.]

 In his dedication to Love, the highest form of love and that is God, one can feel how he speaks from his own deeply felt experience of LOVE, and thus appears exceptionally bright in LOVE:  safe, and secure, generous, and kind! 

I feel he understood true freedom!

--Eva-Maria

From The Praise of Love

Fain would I change that note

To which fond love has charm’d me,

Long, long to sing by note,

Fancying that that harm’d me;

Yet when this thought does come,

“Love is the perfect sum

Of all delight,”

I have no other choice

Either for pen or voice

To sing or write.

--Tobias Hume—

The Bible contains the recipe of all healing.  “The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” [Revelation 22:2]

--Science and Health, p. 406—

The Greek word “ethnos,” translated in this passage as “nations,” refers especially to foreigners.  –Eva-Maria—

Luzern ... Ahhhhhh ... so many majestic Swans on the Lake .... more than I ever had seen before.

Citizens of the world, accept the “glorious liberty of the children of God.” And be free!  This is your divine right.

--Science and Health, Footsteps of Truth. P. 227.

Deck thyself now with

majesty and excellency;

and array thyself with

glory and beauty.

--The Bible, Job 40:10
