Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping - (Lk 8:52)
I put God's idea above appearances
Ever since we each were born we have been subjected to the preachings of the religion of experience, of falsely claimed "reality", of inevitable outcomes. In the religion of experience reality exists regardless of how we may see it and we can do nothing to change it. Very few truly believe that "the eye is the lamp of the body", that our view of our world may change it.
Regardless of the gravity of what may appear before us, we have the right and the ability to hold our own view of it. As in the story in Luke, others may laugh at us, call us mad, but we hold fast to our knowledge that underlying all life's appearances is God's perfect idea, in which is no fear and no disaster.
You cannot settle this matter through debate, by logic, by weight of evidence. It can be settled only through personal discovery, by placing all your trust in Love, regardless of appearances. And it is not settled overnight - it requires sustained commitment. This is the path of Truth, the journey back to our Father, Who awaits us with great joy.
