Original Blessing— The Starter for Your Spiritual Path

IMG_0115.JPG
 

Do you remember having a teacher in school who started the first day of class by telling all the students they already had a starting grade of "F"--failing -- and for the rest of the semester they had to dig themselves out of that hole to earn a passing, above average, or superior grade? Or maybe you had a teacher who started you at a "C" -- average, and expected you to work up to a higher grade.

Do you think God starts us off with this major debt that we continually have to pay off to make it to the goal?

I wonder if I had thought that of my precious newborn daughters when I first held them. What if I had said to them, “You are a pretty rotten person, but maybe if you try hard enough you might overcome that somewhat”?

Well, I didn't think of them that way.

I thought they were perfect and I loved them completely. I already saw how they would have the potential that was unlimited, and I would do everything I could to support them reaching for the stars!

If each of us is a beloved child of God, would we not be held in a state of original blessing? Would we not be born as precious? Without fault? Full of positive potential? 

I wonder, and I invite you to wonder, if you accepted the concept of Original Blessing, what kind of beliefs and practices would grow from that foundation?

Let's explore that together by joining the waiting list for the next class of PRESENCE, The Course. The first 10 people will start a new class.
