Releasing the "family concept" to experience the Family of God

Greetings Beloved One

On the theme of releasing the self-concept and accepting One Self as Christ, it is important to emphasize that wholeness is a Perspective that includes all and excludes none. It is inclusion based on Purpose or Content in the mind and really has nothing to do with specific forms. It is OK to release the thoughts which no longer serve our peace of mind.

The Holy Spirit leads the mind inward, beyond past concepts and roles, to the recognition of Spirit in the Present. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. One can never distance One Self from our brothers and sisters in attitude, for everything and everyone is simply a reflection in mind. You are Awakening to the Family of One Mind, the Family of God, so to speak. This Oneness is the Family of God and Christ. You seem to go through what may be called a release of past associations (the old wine skins) that the mind may be born again in the Spirit (first through healed or whole perception). One that knows the Will of God sees everyone and everything as Family, for there is nothing apart in the wholeness of the forgiven world.

Here is a song that the Angels once sent that will be helpful in this retranslation of the idea of family. Gratitude comes from including all in mind and seeing that rejection and abandonment were always impossible:

FAMILY

"Ultimately, every member of the family of God must return. The miracle calls him to return." ACIM

They're the ones I depend on when I need some help, helping me do what I can't do myself.
They set no limits on what I am worth.
They make it joyful to live in this earth.
They support me and bless me and call me their own,
and help me remember the Brightness of Home.

Refrain: Family, family, holy and whole is my family.
Kindness and love are the sweet ties that bind the family that lives in the Mind.

No one's excluded, and everyone's kin in the arms of forgiveness, the Spirit within.
Mothers and fathers and daughters and sons,
brothers and sisters: we're all of us one,
not bodies, not separate with no one to care,
but joined as the Child of one Parent we share.

Refrain: Family, family, holy and whole is my family.
Kindness and love are the sweet ties that bind the family that lives in the Mind.

My brother, come home now, there's no joy out there.
Throw off the mask of the stranger you wear.
Join with me, sing with me, praises of God.
Share with me, love with me,
laugh at the thought that the One could be broken,
the Whole could be part, that anything can be outside of God's heart.


Refrain: Family, family, holy and whole is my family.
Kindness and love are the sweet ties that bind the family that lives in the Mind.

Love & Blessings Family of the One.
You live forever in My Heart,
though the forms may seem to come and go and change and part.

Never forget the Love I feel for You Beloved One!
I am never more than a Thought away from awareness.

In Gratitude Always
