"[Human-beings are] Life and Intelligence expressed." Myrtle Fillmore
Have you ever noticed that we tend to think of
people in the past (Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa,
Socrates, Buddha, Jesus, Helen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt, Sojourner
Truth, etc.) as being "great". But we think of ourselves as being
insignificant. Or, because we feel insignificant, we pretend to be
great, exaggerating our accomplishments and taking credit for things we
didn't really do. Or, we allow ourselves to believe that we are pretty
good, but our neighbor or enemy or "those" people are evil, nefarious,
beneath contempt.
In reality (divine Reality), we are ALL an
expression of the One Life, the Infinite Intelligence. If we don't know
or believe this Truth, then we may not live up to our enormous
potential, but that doesn't change who we really are. We are (ALL)
children of God. The divine Spark we see in Dr. King or Mother Teresa
is also in us. Once we really see it in ourselves, then we'll tend to
see it not only in the heroes of the past, but in all people. And when
what we see is divine, what we experience will more often be divine!
