Put Our Land in Order

 

Treatment by Tim Phares, RScP


T.S. Eliot wrote, “In my beginning is my end.”  He also wrote “Shall I at least put my own lands in order?”  Good words to keep in mind this year.


It can be difficult to keep our mental lands in order in contentious times.  That this is an election year adds additional temptations.  But as Ernest Holmes reminds us, we are a healing and teaching order.

This year, let us focus on our own environment.  Let us keep our lands in order, knowing that every beginning is also the end of something else.  When you claim your good as health or abundance, it is the end of illness and poverty.  When we focus our energy on what we’re here to do, it marks the end of settling for whatever has been distracting us from that.  As you walk the path, enjoy the shiny objects, but don’t be distracted by them.  It’s time to put our lands in order.

So let us pray.

There is only One Life.  That life is God’s Life, that Life is perfect, and that Life is my life now.  That One Life is in, as, through, throughout, and around all.

I know that Divine Action and Divine Order are working as each of us right now.  The love, joy, peace, harmony, abundance, prosp erity, and vision are ours.  They are mine and each person’s.  They are expressing as and through each life now.

As each of us puts our land in order, as we make new beginnings and pursue that which we are here to do, that which we are called to do, and that which we dream of doing, we enrich the world.  As we enrich our lives, as we fulfill the Divine Order that is each of us, the world works.  We lift up the world by lifting up our own lives.  We light the world by living the light that we are.  I know, accept, and declare this for myself and each of us right now.

I am thankful for this knowing and for this order.  I am grateful for the uplifted lives that we each step into.

And in that gratitude, I simply accept new beginnings and accept that good, knowing that is is done.  All is well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.

And SO it IS!
