Harmony is the natural order of the universe

Published on June 17, 2016June 17, 2016 by lindseybiggs2 Comments

I love exploring the idea of harmony. Harmony is a beautiful attribute of God, which we can bear witness to in all of our activities. It’s actually pretty fun. How is harmony being expressed right now? How will harmony be present today? These are great questions to ask ourselves when we want to see where our thought is dwelling.

Here is a quote that I love about harmony (although it was originally written to a group of Christian Scientists, it can be applied to everyone universally).

The real Christian Scientist is constantly accentuating harmony in word and deed, mentally and orally, perpetually repeating this diapason of heaven: “Good is my God, and my God is good. Love is my God, and my God is Love.”

Seeing harmony expressed around us is enlightening! And it has added benefits to our health. Today there are many people who recognize the power of consciousness on the body. Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered Christian Science 150 years ago, described health as the “consciousness of harmony and of nothing else.” And many people today are finding physical healing, restoration of relationships and financial difficulties through a change in consciousness — through a more enlightened sense of the Infinite and the natural, beautiful laws of harmony that govern our experience.

Here is another quote that I love:

God is harmony’s selfhood.

Wow, what an idea! When we are focused on our a personal selfhood, it’s much harder to see harmony working in our lives. However, when we focus on the whole picture and perceive through a spiritual lens, we can see harmony working around us. You could even say that we perceive harmony, because we are spiritual! We are perceiving who we really are, our Maker and the natural order of existence.

Focusing on harmony’s selfhood enables us to see that we are an active component of a whole Being. Perceiving harmony is perceiving wholeness (perhaps that is why it’s linked to health).

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

What fun it is to discover more about harmony everyday. Enjoy the joyous adventure!

A lesson on healing and innocence from Job

Published on March 9, 2016 by lindseybiggsLeave a comment

Job, from The Bible, shows us an incredible example of searching and taking a stand for experiencing and understanding more of God’s presence and power.

Do we have thoughts coming to us that sound like Job’s “friends”? “You don’t deserve to be healed. You must have done something wrong. You’re a sinner.” (See the book of Job). We probably all do.

The book of Job shows us that we have the right to stand up for our innocence. Standing up to these thoughts isn’t a self-righteous thing, but a spiritual longing to see our innocence and freedom from sin and disease. Job hadn’t done anything wrong to deserve the pain that he was faced with. And ultimately reaching out to God enabled him to stand in the presence of God (to become fully aware of the Truth of His existence and power) so that Job was healed and saved.

What if we have done something wrong? Do we still have the right to be healed? To take a stand for our spiritual freedom Yes! Coming face to face with our mistakes and correcting them enables us to move past them. And this redemption comes from the basis of knowing, in reality, we are the spiritual, pure and perfect children of God, so it is natural to be healthy, live righteously and behave compassionately.

Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need.

This was certainly true in the case of Job. When enemy thoughts were all around, he was still able to discern his innocence and right to freedom. We can take that stand, too.

Christ, the universal message of Truth and Love, is present in thought to bring about healing.

Surgeon General says, a happy person is a healthy person

by Eric Nelson via commdiginews.com

PETALUMA, CA, March 6, 2016 – The fact that U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy was getting a standing ovation at last November’s TEDMED medical conference in Palm Springs wasn’t in itself that surprising. After all, he’d just given a terrific speech about the relationship between happiness and health. What was surprising was the fact that this…
