Hello Faithful Readers,
With Memorial Day upon us, and the 4th of July coming up, I've been blessed to find inspiration in our Great Nation.
This patriotic and astounding inspiration came from an unusual source: Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East - Volume 1, by Baird T. Spalding. Mr. Spalding was one of a research party of eleven persons who visited the Far East in 1894.
[This is the first of a series of brief articles I will write based on, and quoting extensively from, the Masters' view on the discovery, and making of our Great Nation.]
Mr. Spalding quotes a Master named Emil as saying that prior to Christopher Columbus' discovery of America, there had been other attempts at discovery that had failed. Emil sites the reason for the failure was simply because of the absence of that one God-given quality - faith.
This Master further states that the moment that soul awoke to the realization that the earth was round and there must be land on the other side equal to that already known, another great historical epoch had begun to unfold.
Christopher Columbus had the courage and faith to see and carry out the vision of his awakening.
Who but the great Omnipotent One, who sees all things, could have awakened that little grain of faith in the soul of Columbus?
Emil continued, Columbus, in his day, was thought to be an impractical dreamer. Are we not all coming to the place here we believe and know that the dreams of yesterday are but the realities of today? For who has accomplished anything who was not a so-called dreamer?
In reality were his visions dreams? Were they not ideals in the Great Universal Mind, God, conceived in the soul of the one who brought them forth as great Truth?
\
In this day of great uncertainty in our own lives and of our nation, do not loose heart, dear ones. Believe in yourself and believe in your dreams. When you find the truth of who you are, you will see the great Truth of your dreams becoming realities.
And trust. Trust in God, trust in yourself. For it is in the trusting that you will find your Truth.
It is with Great Love, Respect and Gratitude for those who have served this country that I wish All a Happy Memorial Day.
God Bless,
Lisa
