DIVINE ORDER

Rev. Mary Louise Ruffner

“We have gone through many abstract processes of reasoning and have found out what the Law is and how It works. Now, we can forget all about the Law and know there is nothing but the Word –the Law will be working automatically. We must forget everything else and let our word be spoken with a deep inner realization of love, beauty, peace, poise, power, and of the great Presence of Life at the point of our own consciousness. “
~ The Science of Mind, by Ernest Holmes ~

There are times, like all of us, when I get a very clear intuitive hit; i.e., an inner knowing and clear guidance. Nonetheless, too often I am inclined to stop and analyze the revelation. There seems to be a need to arrive at human conclusions regarding how and why things happen the way they do; and, how to manifest the desires of the heart. This process of reasoning satisfies the ego-driven intellect, temporarily. I notice if I go down that road too far, I experience vacillating emotions; i.e., low self-esteem if I miss the mark; or, “self”-centeredness when I am in the zone.

On the other hand, when I trust that everything is in divine order, I sense and feel that the Highest God and the Innermost God of my imagination are one and the same God; Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. At such times, I know there is no life outside or separate from The One. I am It and It is I. In these mystical moments, I am assured that I am unified with a Presence and Power that receives the “direct impression of my thought and acts upon it.”

It is said that the mystics of all time know their relationship with The Universe without ever knowing how they know what they know.  They simply know! They live their lives in a consciousness of unyielding confidence in the changeless nature of The One.

Each one of us may live our life in wholly, holy communion, guided moment by moment by infinite wisdom. Establishing and maintaining a daily practice such as meditation, spiritual mind treatment, affirmations, life visioning, journaling, or other such habits support us in the realization that everything truly is in divine order.

When this state of consciousness is attained, we are aligned with the heart and soul of the universe. We then know that the essence of the thing we desire is already a reality in the infinite mind of God.  What we know, really know to be true, automatically manifests in, through, and as the very thing we desire and accept as ours. It is Law. There is no opposition to pure knowing. (“Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God”)

 I love affirming “everything is in divine order.” It reminds me that there are no mis-takes in the infinite mind of God. I am reminded that I am a spiritual being, living in a spiritual universe with other spiritual beings, and we are governed by spiritual laws. These concepts have a tendency to put me at ease when faced with physical, mental, or emotional challenges that otherwise cause uncertainty and doubt… be they my personal experience or that of another. This attitude assures me of The Presence that walks with me, talks with me, and tells me I am It… and It is I.
