As we continue to explore the theme, “Let Go and Let God,” focusing on the Power of Release/Renunciation, we also celebrate Palm Sunday, Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
In “The Twelve Powers of Man,” Charles Fillmore tells us that thoughts have a four-dimensional capacity, while material objects have three. He then says that thoughts are things; they occupy space in the mental field. And, a healthy state of mind is attained and continued when the thinker willingly releases the old thoughts and takes on the new.
We use many analogies to describe this mental process, for example, ingesting, digesting and then eliminating food after our bodies have absorbed the nutrients. But, stop the ingestion and we shrivel away. Or stop the elimination and the body gets poisoned by the toxic waste unable to pass through. We also describe the inlet and the outlet of a pool of water. Stop the inlet and the pool goes dry. Stop the outflow and the pool stagnates or crystallizes its salts until they preserve everything that they touch – and not necessarily in a good way.
Many of the “prosperity” classes I have facilitated over the years have contained a section dedicated to the Power of Release. It’s usually titled, “forgiveness,” because by holding thoughts of unforgiveness of ourselves or anyone else, is like blocking the outlet of our consciousness. Not only can our mind not receive any new thoughts of living in and as the love of God, our consciousness gets poisoned with the toxicity of
unforgiveness, which, per Fillmore, leads to dis-ease in our bodies and experiences.
Join us this Sunday, either online or in person, as we explore how to change our minds to receive, and then live from, the perfect ideas God has for us.
Blessing you abundantly,
Rev. Eileen
