"Many times we find it difficult to love our neighbor because we believe that our neighbor is standing between us and our good. Let me assure you that this is far from true. No outer influence for good or evil can act upon us. We ourselves release our good. To understand the full meaning of this requires a transition in consciousness. As human beings, we think that there are those individuals in the world who can, if they would, be good to us; or we think that there are some who are an influence for evil, harm, or destruction. How can this possibly be true if God is the only influence in our life -- God, who is 'closer . . . than breathing, and nearer than hands or feet'? The only influence is that of the Father within, which is always good. 'Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above.'" -- from Joel Goldsmith's "Practicing the Presence" Return to the 2010 Weekly Passage Archive Page |
