“UNREALITY ”
For Sunday, October 1, 2023

2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5; 2+2=5;

DOES REPETITION MAKE IT TRUE? (INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA / MORTAL MIND / CHRONIC ILLNESS?)  

It’s there before me! It must be true!

Just accept Genesis Chapter Two!!

Man is mortal, subject to matter!     Man is mortal, subject to matter! Man is mortal, subject to matter!     Man is mortal, subject to matter! Man is mortal, subject to matter!     Man is mortal, subject to matter! Man is mortal, subject to matter!     Man is mortal, subject to matter! Man is mortal, subject to matter!     Man is mortal, subject to matter! Man is mortal, subject to matter!     Man is mortal, subject to matter!

WHY DO WE BELIEVE THESE LIES? REPETITION DOES NOT MAKE THEM TRUE OR REAL! As quickly as we would deny 2+2=5, we should deny all and any claims of matter.

WHAT DID JESUS SAY? “Your father is the devil, and you do what the devil wants. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, for there is no truth in him at all. Whenever he speaks it is a lie, that is all he knows, all he can do, for he is a liar and the father of all lies and deception.” John 8:44

Mortal mind would project an infinity of falsity, (2=2=4.00001, 5million, whatever it SUGGESTS, seeking out what sticks!!!!), but the purity and simplicity of 2=2=4 stands secure, untouched. GOD IS LOVE, TRUTH, MIND, LIFE, SOUL, SPIRIT, PRINCIPLE.  THIS IS ALL THERE IS, THIS IS WHAT MAN REFLECTS.

“Everything good or worthy, God (see above definition) made. Whatever is valueless or baneful, He did not make, – hence its unreality.” (cit. S4/525:20-22).

When we realise that God is All-in-all, that there is nothing to heal, nothing will be seen for what it is by having no place in consciousness, for “All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation” (S&H 468:10-11). Unreality, anything unlike God, good, has no existence!  2+2=4 is untouched, constant. Man is immortal, subject to Spirit alone.  UNREALITY CANNOT, DOES NOT, AFFECT REALITY! COME ON ! BE REAL!!

Know this: Man is God’s Beloved son!                                                   Know the truth: Genesis Chapter One!

 GOLDEN TEXT

1 Peter 2:11      My dear friends, you do not belong to this material world, so I urge you not to be drawn into it, with its false desires that tease and attract, so strongly enticing you away from the purity of your true lives.

RESPONSIVE READING.

1 Peter 2:2      In the same way that nursing infants cry for milk, you must intensely crave and thirst for the pure spiritual milk of God’s Word, drinking deep and often of God’s pure goodness, to bring you up into His salvation and perfect fulfillment.

1 Peter 2:9      You are God’s chosen and special people, dedicated to God. He is now expecting you to fulfill all His plans, to tell others of the great difference made to your lives by His love, taking you out of darkness into His marvellous light.

 Light does not know darkness, because in light there is no darkness. In God there is no (d)evil, in the infinity of good there is no bad. In purity there is no sensualism. When we love God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind, we find reality, as did Jesus, and unreality does not touch us. This is living in the kingdom of heaven, the utter harmony and perpetual peace of God’s universe. NOW!

 2+2 is always 4.

There is clearly nothing more!     (or less!)

Hold fast to the Truth!  “REJECT, REPLACE, REJOICE!”  PURITY IS BLISS.
