Resting In Oneness
Resting in Oneness - what does that mean exactly?
Well, I had no idea what that meant - until I became utterly exhausted trying to figure out every nook and cranny of my life - and was finally willing to learn something new: to rest in the awareness that God is all there is.That in short:
There is only one power, one presence and one life - there's nothing to oppose it and nothing for it to oppose. It just IS, and it is only Good.
Now I wasn't raised believing that, of course. Most of us weren't.
I was raised to believe in two powers - a power of good and a power of evil. If something bad happened to me, I would pray to God (the God out there somewhere) to help me overcome the bad, and to please heal whatever dis-ease I was experiencing. It appeared that sometimes God would, and sometimes God wouldn't, depending on how "perfect" and deserving I was on that day.
