Absolutely Yours

The Roller Coaster Ride

Reading Psalm 91 is like a roller-coaster ride. One moment you are at a height of thrilling inspiration, and the next moment you plummet into discouragement. First there’s the promise of immunity from every evil (91:7), and then you realize the promise is not for everyone (91:1).

It’s Really That Simple

When you read the last post on Psalm 91 (and I’m assuming you have), did your heart sink when you realized the promise of danger-free living was only for those who stay in the conscious awareness of God’s Allness? Did you think, like a lot of folk, “I could never do that. No one can.” Don’t believe it! You can do it. And it’s easier than you think.

Let’s go back to basics: God is All. Take a moment to taste the sweetness of this Truth.

God Is The Only Mind

God, being All, must be and is the only Mind there is. God is Mind. Yes, it seems like there are many minds. It appears as though there are millions of identities rushing around with their own personal minds. But like the flat-appearing earth, it’s not true. God is the one and only Mind.

The True Mind-Body Connection

God is Mind, and this Mind is the Substance of your entire Being. The key word is “entire.” This Mind is the entirety of your Identity, Body and Being. Doesn’t this give new meaning and understanding to the so-called mind-body connection?

This One Mind knows all Truth because it is all Truth. More wonderful is that this Mind is always “stayed on God,” because it is God. In short, your Mind (God) is constantly dwelling in the conscious awareness of God.

There Is No Personal Mind

What are you going to do with this information? There is one thing you must do. Give up all sense of a personal mind – yours and others. You may be held in high esteem for having a brilliant mind that’s scaled the heights of intellectual achievement. Nevertheless, give it up. You don’t have a personal mind more capable than another’s.

Perhaps you’ve always thought of yourself as a numskull. It’s the excuse you’ve given yourself for doing poorly in school and never advancing in your career. Give it up! You don’t, and can’t, have a mind less capable than the most brilliant mind you know. God is the only Mind.

Embrace Your Only Mind

Once you’ve taken out the trash of a personal mind, embrace the one all-knowing Mind as “your” Mind and the Mind of all. Embrace the Truth that this Mind you Are is now and forever dwelling in the conscious awareness of God’s Allness. For a few days, just as a reminder, try starting your day claiming “the Mind of God is the I that I AM.”
