THE ONLY AUTHORITY

(written on March 26, 2008

In today’s reading, the centurion says “I am a man under authority”, meaning he understands the chain-of-command and knows who’s the ultimate commander-in-chief. This system of authority was obviously so clear to him that it was a central part of his life. He always had it in mind, which made it easy for him to see where the real power lay in any situation, no matter how small.

Today, I hope I can be as clear-headed as the centurion, always aware that the ultimate power – the only power – lies with infinite Thought, infinite Mind, the eternal God, Allah, the Tao, the Universe.

Everything is a belief. Sickness, health, failure, success – whatever form my life seems to take today will be caused by a belief I am entertaining. I can’t overestimate the incredible power of belief. At any given moment, the power of belief around the world is immeasurable.

................................................

There is only one cause. An amazing truth, that each of the zillion things that will happen around the universe today can be traced to one infinite cause – Thought, Universal Mind, God. Things happen because God happens.
