“Truth is that which is. It is the Reason, Cause, and Power in and through everything. It is Birthless, Deathless, Changeless, Complete, Perfect, Whole, Self-Existent, Causeless, Almighty, God, Spirit, Law, Mind, Intelligence, and anything and everything that implies Reality. “
~ The Science of Mind, page 639 ~

“Reality actually means that which is indestructible, incapable of decay. Reality is unchanging and everlasting. The self we see is what man has thought about himself, the form he has molded by his thought. The Real Self is Perfection, for God could not know anything unlike Himself. Our Sonship is Reality – the Christ abiding in us. The Kingdom of God within us is Reality. Reality, as concerning man, is that God in man, as man, is man.”
~ The Science of Mind, page 624 ~

“Perception is a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression.”

Words can be tricky, especially when the effort is to distinguish spiritual things from material things. The Reality is, there is One Universal Self, whose three-fold nature is Spirit, Soul/ Mind, and Body, in all, through all, and as all. Actually, there is no line of demarcation where This One begins and ends. The Invisible First Cause or The Absolute, Changeless, Pure Essence at the center of everything is Ultimate Reality. The ever-changing forms in the physical world, experienced through the senses, are the relative. They are the logical results of our beliefs about who we are.
While the Changeless Reality of Peace, Love, Harmony, Beauty, Abundance, Joy, Wisdom are forever intact, and is the True Self, or Presence of God within every one of us; we perceive our identity based on the experiences we encounter. Thus, the expression, “perception is reality.”
Whatever we believe to be true about life has a tendency to out-picture as the people places, things and the conditions we experience. It is not surprising that we have measured reality (up until now) according to the false evidence appearing as if it is the truth. We actually refer to it as “my truth.”
So, the question is, how do you perceive reality based on the world of effects that you presently experience? What are you telling yourself about yourself that is not true? What are you telling yourself about the people, places you encounter day in and day out? Are you ready to become a greater version of yourself? The potential for expressing our True Self is unlimited. However, we cannot heal what we do not acknowledge needs healing; i.e., restored to wholeness.
The lovely thing about the unity of all life is, when any one of us is lifted into a higher vibration of Self-expression; the consciousness of humanity is simultaneously lifted to some degree. We each make a difference in the total scheme of things. Let us begin by feeling, sensing, and embracing our nature of Peace, Love, Harmony, Beauty, Abundance, Joy, and Wisdom.
“I see everyone in their highest light and every event from its highest point of view.”
