Be All The God You Can Be

“It is your mission to express all that you can imagine God to be.” – Charles Fillmore

What can you imagine God to be?

God is the all in all as all, the ground of all being, that which exists as pure potential. Potentialities exist as what you think of as Divine Ideals - harmony, order, peace, love, joy, unity, wholeness, abundance, life…

How do you express God?

By the power of your thought you choose which of the potentialities you will live. Your thoughts are not creative; they are selective. Thought is your point of choice. As you choose your thought, you align with a particular frequency, an aspect of pure potential that is in resonant harmony with your thought.

The power of the mind is the power of alignment. As self-conscious beings, you have the power to choose. All aspects of God exist as potential. Your power of freewill choice is the power to align with, to say ‘yes’ to, the aspects that you desire to experience.

The combination of aspects to which you say ‘yes’ constitutes your consciousness. You experience your life according to your consciousness. Therefore, you experience life according to all the things you say ‘yes’ to, whether you choose them consciously, subconsciously or unconsciously.

A vitally alive, healthy body is the experience of a vitally alive, active, energetic conscious mind filled with those thoughts.

Why do you get old and sick?

You get old and sick because the collective consciousness believes in getting old and sick. If one chooses to devote her life to the mastery of consciousness, she could exist in this form eternally. Although he did not achieve it, Unity cofounder Charles Fillmore believed that it is possible. He famously commented once, “I get old because I think old thoughts.” Iconic Unity of Denver minister, Reverend Jim Lewis, believed in and taught the possibility of eternal life in the body. I have heard that some people became disillusioned and left the church because Rev. Lewis did not demonstrate this Truth in his own life. Because those who believed it a possibility did not attain it themselves, does not negate it as a potential for you. They were holding and continue to hold the potential for all of us.

It is possible for one to achieve this. However, it would require that one remove focus so completely from the collective consciousness so as not to be influenced by it. It requires devotion and dedication to knowing one's self as the expression of the pure potential of God. Jesus was our example of one who did just that. As Charles Fillmore said…

We cannot separate Jesus Christ from God or tell where man leaves off and God begins in Him. To say that we are men as Jesus Christ was a man is not exactly true, because He had dropped that personal consciousness by which we separate ourselves from our true God self. He became consciously one with the absolute principle of Being. He proved in His resurrection and ascension that He had no consciousness separate from that of Being, therefore He really was this Being to all intents and purposes.

Yet He attained no more than what is expected of every one of us. "That they may be one, even as we are" was His prayer. – Atom Smashing Power of Mind

What do you do now?

You start right where you are. You choose moment by moment, thought by thought. As you choose your thought, you choose what you are aligning to, what you are agreeing with, and what you are joining in.

You start right where you are filling your mind with positive thoughts and images, removing yourself from heavier vibrations, darker thoughts and images that align you with the life experiences you do not want.

Does that mean that you are to turn a blind eye and pay no attention to the suffering in the world? Are you to ignore those in need?

No, but you do not have to join the suffering. You see it and you know that you do not have to choose that in order to respond to it with love and compassion. You do not need to question why or how or to deliver any sort of evaluation of the situation. In fact, you are to keep your thoughts focused on the higher vibrational aspects.

Let’s say you are seeing starving children on television, what do you do? What is your response?

You look at it, and you ask yourself, “What would I chose for that child?” You would choose the same thing for that child that you would choose for yourself. You would choose abundance, happiness, peace, joy and love.

You then focus your attention on those aspects of God within your own consciousness until you have complete realization of them in your mind, heart and soul.

Then ask, “What can I do to help this child experience those aspects?” Listen to your inner guidance and connect with what feels in alignment with it. Then, do that! It may be to send money every month to organizations that support starving children in developing countries. It may be to get involved and volunteer time with an organization locally that works to support families who do not have the means to provide adequate food for their children. It may be to make a commitment to only buying from companies that also give to those in need. It may be to simply hold the image of that child and others like him being safe, warm, loved and adequately nourished. There are many ways to respond to those in need. You must, however, endeavor to respond, not from a consciousness of suffering, but from a consciousness of hope, plenty, and love.

You make the choice moment by moment through your choice of thought whether you are in the flow of what you desire for yourself and for all people. A true desire of the heart is a desire held for all. When you align with the divine aspects inherent in all, you will only choose that which serves all.

You are choosing your thoughts every moment of every day, and in making those choices you are evolving your consciousness. When you make those choices more consciously and in alignment your full potentiality, you will fulfill your mission to be all that you can imagine God to be.

Join us on Sunday at 10:00 for our service as we explore together how we can live with more conscious intention our mission to be all that we can imagine God to be.
