Sunday Sermon

Change ... or, How To Transform Yourself In One Day !
Sunday, April 8, 2007

 

Easter Greetings To All Those Who Celebrate, and Spring Tidings To Those Who Do Not .. ..

Today's Sunday Sermon is about a common dilemma we often find ourselves wrapped within ---  Change.  We want to change ourselves for the better, but .. don't know how to begin.  So .. here is my plan on How To Transform Yourself In One Day.

How does one from a metaphysical standpoint deal with life's ever changing facade?  Notice, I used the word "facade" because .... from the big picture, life is illusion.  All the worries, hardships, negative thought patterns and bad luck are merely perceptions brought through to the lower mind on a base level.  We know this as truth because fear is the motivator of negativity.

So .. what is fear?  Fear is nothing more than -- False Experiences Appearing Real.

Give that a chance to sink in ...  False Experiences Appearing Real.  This is what your fears are made from - false experiences that appear for all they are worth to be your reality.  And .. they are not !

Worries, troubles, hardships, bad luck -- are all perceptions built on fear.  Remove the fear and you remove the worries, the troubles, the hardships, the bad luck, the negative thought patterns .. poof!

Well, you  might say .. "Rev. Bee , this sounds all well and good, but HOW do I remove fear from my daily life.. its there, how do I get rid of it?"

This part is easy ... you get rid of fear by replacing it.  Yep .. its the old bait and switch routine.   Replace fear with ... Love !  Sounds simplistic?  Well, it is a little more than just inserting Love into your life like a puzzle piece, but basically that is what you must do.

You can begin to insert Love into your life by first recognizing that the Divine True Source, no matter what you call IT, resides within you. 

Here is an spiritual exercise you can do daily to recognize the light of the Divine True Source within ---

After you wash your face in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror wearing your usual face.   This is the look you present to the world every day.  This is how other's see you.  

I want you to look at yourself very closely .. notice the physical nuances of your face, the shape of your nose, the line of your chin, every wrinkle, every pore.  Notice your 'look' as a whole. 

Now .. look into your eyes and smile. Big smile!   It might be hard to do at first .. and you might feel a little foolish smiling at yourself in the mirror ... but please, do it anyway.  Look yourself square in the eye and give a BIG SMILE.  Be brave. You can do it !

This is how you want the world to perceive you ... this is the you that shows your inner beauty and shows that Love Lives Inside!   Your smile speaks volumes about you -- it says  "Here I am, what you see is what you get, and its All Good !"

Do this one day .. just once.. and feel the difference.  Smiling at yourself is passively telling yourself that you accept yourself for who you are.  Smiling at yourself is saying .. "I like me."

Looking at your smiling reflection every morning will begin a series of subtle changes that are evident the very first day ! 

First, it starts your day on a positive note!   You will look at the world head on. Your eyes are level, you are armed with your smile and you can do anything! Smiling builds your confidence level.

But, more importantly, and from the big picture .. smiling allows you to see inside .. to see the spark of the Divine and ignites the fire to keep the positivity burning in your heart.  When you smile at yourself, you soften your outlook inwardly as well as outwardly.  Behind that smile is the light of Love, love of self, love of family, love of friends, love ot neighbors, love of strangers, love of animals, love of flowers, love of nature, love of the world.  Once you ignite the love of life in your heart, there is no turning it off - it burns with an unending source of fuel -- you!

So .. the choice now .. is yours!  Make the decision and do something good for yourself.  Re-establish your Divine connection and reflect the light of your love back to the world.  Be ready to receive the influx of positivity that flows from the Divine True Source to you and be ready to release it back to the Universe for all to receive.  Keep that flow going !

Be blessed !
