Grace

I claim my Divine Identity,

I freely give grace to myself and others.

Grace as defined by Merriam-Webster is “unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification.” In Unity, “divine assistance” is not something handed out by God, a divine Being that judges us. “Divine Assistance” is the Divine Ideas we already are. We have all the Divine Ideas there ever were, are or ever will be because our minds are infolded in God-Mind.

Grace is not something granted to us by God, grace is what we freely give to ourselves and others based on the Divine Idea of Benevolence. We use the Divine Idea of Benevolence for all acts of kindness and the disposition to do good. Grace is when we see beyond our own errors and the errors of others.

When I am in error thinking, I change my mind by benevolently perceiving my own Divinity. When I see error in someone else, I choose to their Divinity. In order to live gracefully, it helps to remember what the writer of Philippians 4:8 wrote, “Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”  I claim my Divine Identity, I freely give grace to myself and others.

Heaven on Earth

I claim my Divinity, I experience Heaven on earth.

Heaven and earth are not places; they represent two states of mind. Heaven is the ideal state of consciousness – the realm of pure Divine Ideas, while earth is the state of our relative, changing consciousness which is made up of thought forms.  As we claim our Divinity – the realm of pure Divine Ideas – we more easily manifest and experience those Divine Ideas as higher thoughts in our relative consciousness – heaven on earth.

Meditation and prayer are key to my dwelling in Heaven – the realm of pure Divine Ideas. Allowing earth – my relative mind to merge into the one Mind, dissolving into the depths of Infinite Possibilities – this is Heaven on earth – experiencing Divine Ideas as higher thoughts.

Cradling a sleeping child; sharing an evening with close friends; investing time in prayer. I am at peace and remember my Divine Identity. During these moments I experience true oneness. There is no sense of separation between myself and others, between myself and the world. This is Heaven on earth – experiencing Divine Ideas as higher thoughts.

I breathe and relax into the wonder of God’s love and peace. Right where I am now, I claim my Divinity and I experience Heaven on earth.

Guidance

 Using my Divine Wisdom and Understanding, I spiritually guide my life.

Divine Understanding and Divine Wisdom are two of my Twelve Powers. Understanding is used to know; Wisdom compares and contrasts what I know. I use these Powers to know what to think, say and do.

When I forget these Truths about myself, I overlook my Divine Identity. I see only my outer, physical features and the ever changing world around me. I may feel lost and confused as I rely more and more on my senses.  I am rudderless and I do not know how to effectively guide and direct myself.

When this happens, I must stop and remember I am spiritual Beingness; I am Divine! I re-claim my awareness of my Divine Identity and ground myself in the Powers of Understanding and Wisdom.  I comprehend my Divine Nature more and more. I let go of limiting ideas and habits based on my senses that no longer serve me. Using my Divine Wisdom and Understanding, I spiritually guide my life knowing what to think, say and do.
