In A New Design for Living, Holmes writes that if it is “done to us as we believe” then there is Something that is doing the something. If I think about it – that Something is LIFE. It is the collective “all of it” around me – that is GOD! It is acting on my thought and mirroring back to me what I have thought into It, but it is so easy for me to separate the book on the table from the table…from the coffee mug…from the phone – but it one. It is Life. It is a single tapestry that I am experiencing, witnessing – this Something IS the something that I am experiencing. The singular experience of my life is my experience of this Something as filtered through my thoughts and beliefs…or it is the outpicturing of those thoughts and beliefs that I’m experiencing.
What comes to mind as I think about this, living my life is less of trying to control specific circumstances and more of “What is my relationship to the Whole?” This is what Jesus meant by seeking the Kingdom of God; this means seeing, sensing the unified expression of Life and my part in It.
Where does this Something end and “I” begin? This Something is ever inwards – there is no separation, it has forever known me as part of It. I am the impetus of this Something.
Words fail me.
