Unity of LO Lesson
The Amazing Laws of Cosmic Mind and Power
By Joseph Murphy
The Great Law of Love
The words God and good are synonymous. When you mentally and emotionally unite with honesty, integrity, justice, good will, and happiness, you are loving God, because you are loving that which is good. You are loving God when you are fascinated, absorbed, and captivated by the great truth that God is One and Indivisible and there are no divisions or quarrels in It. To love God is to give your allegiance, loyalty, and devotion to the One Power, refusing to recognize any other power in the world. When you definitely recognize and completely accept in your mind that God really is omnipotent, in the most practical literal, and matter-of-fact manner, you are loving God, because you are loyal to the One Power. Sit down quietly at times and think over this vital, interesting, fascinating, and greatest of all truths that God is the only Power and that everything we can be aware of is part of His self-expression.
How Imagination Makes the Past Alive
Archaeologists and paleontologists studying the tombs of ancient Egypt, through their imaginative perception, reconstruct ancient scenes. The dead past becomes alive and audible once more.
Looking at the ancient ruins and the hieroglyphics thereon, the scientist's imagination enables him to clothe the ancient temple with roofs and to surround them with gardens, pools, and fountains. The fossil remains are clothed with eyes, sinews, and muscles, and they again walk and talk.
The past becomes the living present, and we find that in imagination there is no time or space. Through your imaginative faculty, you can be a companion of the most inspired writers of all time.
Your Belief About God Really Is Your Belief About Yourself
If you think that God is cruel, vindictive, and an inscrutable, tyrannical, cannibalistic Moloch in the skies, a sort of oriental sultan or despot punishing you, of course, you will experience the result of this habitual thinking, and your life will be lazy, confused, and full of fear and limitations of all kinds. In other words, you will experience the results of the nature of your belief about God. You actually will have negative experiences because of your belief.
God becomes to you whatever you consider Him to be. Above all things, get the right concept of God. It makes no difference what you call God. You may call Him Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Reality, Infinite Intelligence, The healing Presence, The Oversoul, Divine Mind, The architect of the Universe, The Supreme Being, The Life Principle, The Living Spirit, or The Creative Power. The point is, your belief or conviction about God governs and gives direction to your whole life.
Believe in a God of Love
Millions of people believe in a God that sends sickness, pain, and suffering; they believe in a cruel and vindictive Deity. They do not have a good God, and, to them, God is not a loving God. Having such weird, ignorant concepts of God, they experience the results of their beliefs in the form of all kinds of difficulties and troubles. Your subconscious mind manifests your beliefs and projects them as experiences, conditions, and events.
Your nominal belief about God is meaningless. The thing that matters is your real, subconscious belief-the belief of your heart. You always will demonstrate your belief; that is why Dr. Quimby said one hundred years ago, "Man is belief expressed." Millions of people conceive of a God of caprice, afar-off in the skies, who possesses all the whims of a human being. With such a concept, they are like the businessman who once said to this writer, "I would be all right if God would leave me alone." Believe that God is love, that He watches over you and cares for you, and that He guides, prospers, and loves you, and wonders will happen in your life which transcend your fondest dreams!
