What We Believe
By Ernest Holmes, 1927

We believe in God, the living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God. We believe in the individualization of the Spirit in Us, and that all people are individualizations of the One Spirit. We believe in t

he eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding. We believe that heaven is within us, and that we experience it to the degree that we become conscious of it. We believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete freedom from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all. We believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God. We believe that God is personal to all who feel this indwelling presence. We believe in the direct revelation of truth through our intuitive and spiritual nature, and that anyone may become a revealer of truth who lives in close contact with the indwelling God. We believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that we are surrounded by this Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it. We believe in the healing of the sick through the power of this Mind. We believe in the control of conditions through the power of this Mind. We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness, and the eternal Givingness of Life to all. We believe in our own soul, our own spirit, and our own destiny; for we understand that the life of all is God.

It took me years to figure that out. πŸ™πŸΎ

The first one made me feel like a mistake.

The second one showed me I was never one.

If you walked away from God because of how someone represented God to you β€” I understand. But don't let that be the end of your story.

There's a version of Spirit that's actually on your side.

πŸ’¬ Which one did you grow up with?

If religion hurt you before it helped you β€” swipe. This one's for you. πŸ™πŸΎ

It took me years to realize that the God I was taught to fear and the Presence I eventually found were not the same thing.

One made me feel disposable.
The other set me free.

At 16 they read my name out loud in front of my entire religious community and told me I was no longer in God's favor. πŸ’”

I felt disposable. Thrown away. Discarded.

And the part that broke me? I loved God. So how could I not be in God's favor?
I carried that for years.

But then I discovered something that changed everything β€”
God doesn't make mistakes. And God made me.

Through years of spiritual study, meditation, affirmative prayer, and conscious connection I finally understood something radically different than what I was taught:
I'm not separate from God.

God is living in me. God is living through me. πŸ™πŸΎ

If you've ever been told you were too broken, too far gone, or not good enough for a Higher Power β€” beloved, that was never the truth about you.

πŸ’¬ Has religion ever hurt you? You're not alone here.

Next time that critic starts up, pause and translate it.

Shame says: "You always mess this up."

Here's what to do right now before the month closes out. Grab your phone or a piece of paper and write down three things. One thing you let go of this month.

One thing you showed up for that scared you. One thing you're carrying into next month that you're finally ready to put down.

That's it. That's the whole practice. End the month honest and intentional instead of just letting it slip into the next one.

Drop in the comments one word for how this month felt. We want to know. We're Vida β€” spiritual support for people in recovery. vidaslc.org

Save this for the day the old lies start getting loud again β€” because they will. And share it with someone who is still believing something that isn't true about what they deserve. We're Vida. Spiritual support for people in recovery. vidaslc.org

The most important conversations in recovery aren't always the ones you have with other people.

Sometimes it's the ones you finally get honest enough to have with yourself. Save this one for a quiet moment this week.

We're Vida, here for the deeper work. vidaslc.org
