“If you look closely into the perfect law that sets people free, and keep on paying attention to it and do not simply listen and then forget it, but put it into practice—you will be blessed by God in what you do.”  (GNT, James 1:25)

Contemplate the idea that Life is freedom.  Recall to memory situations where you felt imprisoned, trapped, and confined but are now released.  Now, knowing you have “escaped the imprisonment”, reflect on what changes took place in order to effect the change.  Was it a shift in your perspective?  Did thought change in your thinking or in someone else’s in order to make space for the change?  If you or someone left a situation, did you move to a “place” where the thought was different?  What happened on a mental level?

 Awareness Exercise:  Become aware of “the Spirit of the Lord”.  In other words, become aware of the presence of Life as infinity, freedom, harmony, and bliss.  Then, from this standpoint, search and discover how these qualities manifest in your life. 

“God’s being is infinity, freedom, harmony, and boundless bliss. ‘Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty’.”  (SH 481:3-5)
