The Best of What Was, Is, and the Next Best Thing

Dr. Rev. Sue Rubin, as the first minister of this Centre, speaks about homecoming and the unfolding of a principle. Her teacher Dr. Tom Johnson gave us a powerful truth to practice: God is. I am. When saying this, as we perform the sign language sign for God, it means we affirm the Divinity that extends above our head into the heavens and through and beyond, as well as down below the ground we're standing on into the Earth, further into infinity. And when we stretch our arms out in the horizontal plane, that represents our expression of the Divine. The spiritual nature of who we are is exactly what we express through everything we think, say, feel, and do. God is, the One and Only Wholeness there is. And God and we are One. There is One Power. It is the Wholeness of Life. It is right where we are. And it is clearly demonstrating Itself through every cell and atom of our precious living temple, our body of God. God within us recognizes Itself as everything we are. The power of an idea in its universal spin wants something greater to emerge. Our mind is the centre of Divine operation. The Divine operation is always moving towards expansion and fuller expression, and the action of Divine Mind moving through us creates this expansion and fuller expression. There is something that is calling from the past, from that which was embodied as a living idea, and yet what we do now and what we proceed to do tomorrow have to be something greater. The Divine cannot replicate or duplicate what was, because what was has already been, and what shall be is born out of what is. It does this through an orderly sequence of growth. It is something new that wants to emerge out of something that was created previously, yet not limited. It needs to be something new, because the Divine cannot change Its inherent nature. It must operate in us as It does in all planes. The next best thing is this: We grow consciousness. In all our activity, we do only one thing: We grow ourselves. What comes next is determined by whether we see ourselves as a human expressing the Divine, or the Divine expressing as the human.
