SOM Basics II - SEEING THE GOD IN US | Rev. Paul Gonyea

"Spiritually, we are all perfect. But spiritual perfection doesn’t mean that we don’t make mistakes. It means that we can consciously use our god-given intelligence to learn from our mistakes and not to repeat them. Emerson said, “We lie in the lap of immense intelligence and are organs of Its activity and receivers of its truth.” That means we aren’t helpless tools, or mindless instruments following God's orders; we are ORGANS of its activity. We carry out the business of creation by using the same Mind that created everything. In fact, this Divine Intelligence is NOT just something we use, it is NOT just something we have; it is what we are."
