There is one freedom
that every person has from before we are
born. It is the privilege to think
as we choose. No country has given
that privilege because if that were true,
no one would ever be jailed for the
thoughts they have that have been carried
out as crimes. However, the
Presence and Power behind all that exists
made us to be free, and not only with our
thoughts. We were made to be free
to feel as we choose regardless of what
we do with it. These free thoughts
and feelings have been crafted to
function with sensitivity.
Therefore, in the beginning, we are
sensitive to both the thoughts and
feelings of those others who are close to
us.
Our best course of
action is to freely develop
thoughtfulness and good feelings toward
others. At first, this occurs
without exception. As we grow on in
our individual life expressions, we are
influenced by other persons, and too
often lose our sense of self because our
sensitivity to them takes precedence over
the value we would otherwise discover of
ourselves. For this reason, we are
wise to grow our spirits through the
benefit of spirituality, which is there
for us to think for ourselves and love
who we are. As we do this, it does
not lessen our sensitivity, but restores
it in a way that is right and good both
for ourselves and others. This
happens for us as we open up to right
thoughts and feelings that are always
there for us inasmuch as we always have a
Divine Partner in the Presence and Power
of God.
In life on earth, we
feel too influenced by the beliefs of
others. This causes us to live in a
world we invent and lay over the greater
reality of who we are. Most of us
have come to think that the apparent
world of our occupation is the real
world. It is rather the mask we
have created in our imagination, and
displaces the reality that profoundly
surpasses what we have generally
accepted. It is no wonder that
disease, disappointments, distress, and
confusion reign in the thinking and
feeling experiences that develop as our
lives go onward in age. We can use
The Law of Displacement to reclaim what
was there when we were being created in
the womb. It takes place as we turn
away from the seeming nature of raw
living. We can all do this because
we have never surrendered our potential
to live life with perfect experiences.
We are all
gifted. As children, we lived
largely in our imaginations. As
adults, we are wise to recapture the
expressiveness of imagination for it will
rebuild our lives from the inner gifted
nature that remains unspoiled. We
may wonder how this can be. It is
because curled up and deep inside our
Spirits and Souls is a Divine Idea of who
we are. It is not a copy of anyone
else. It is truly beautiful and
unique, containing a wonderful value for
the world around us. We are here to
express ourselves as we have always been,
both from the experience in the womb and
for eons before that.
What this means for
us right now is to unwrap our greater
natures that lie within us, awaiting us
to discover the truth of ourselves.
We have been known by the covers we have
placed over ourselves, as though people
are to be satisfied with the wrappings of
a gift rather than with the gift
within. Others can never deeply
appreciate us until
we unwrap ourselves, discover who we are,
and let the potential flow through us and
as us, like a stagnant pond that becomes
a river of refreshment for thirsty
people. Such a river of refreshment
never provides only water; we will find a
rich display of natures beauty,
including trees, flowers, rocks, and
hills that attract persons who love the
out-of-doors. This wealth of
character within each person lies curled
up inside, until we sense this about
ourselves and bring it all out to express
the lives of our potential. This
sense of self displaces appearances and
gives us the awareness of why we exist.
The gifts are the
truth of character in every person.
They include love, joy, peace of mind,
confidence, and integrity, all which are
expressed in order to give away that
which is a well of such depth that it
cannot be exhausted, but makes the person
feel worthy through the giving.
