Letting the Power Use US!, by Dr. Maxime Kaye

I have only to open the portals of my soul and accept that which is ready to express through me. Today I fling these portals wide; today I am the instrument through which life flows. 

Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 305

One of the first important things we learn in our teaching is that “There is a Power for Good in the Universe, greater than you are, and you can use It.” Ernest Holmes began his talks with this powerful statement, engaging thousands of people in awakening to the spiritual presence within and available to us all. Imagine the shifts in consciousness that occurred as he encouraged their awareness of the great truth of limitless possibilities because of this Divine Power.

As we all mature along our evolutionary paths, it is necessary to move from any human beliefs in lack or limitation, and “proving the Principle” strengthens our faith in this Presence and Power. It is appropriate as we grow, however, to cease experiencing ourselves as “children of God,” and enter a more expansive awareness of being “adults of God,” savoring our joyous responsibility to “let the Power use US!”

Yes, it is wonderful to rely on the Presence of Goodness and the Power of the Law to provide for our human needs but even more greatly empowering to realize our essential part in the vision of a just and workable world for all. Let’s “fling wide the portals of our souls,” celebrating our ability to be the instruments through which the Creative Power of the Universe brings about a new reality. In this heightened knowledge of a greater purpose for ourselves and others, we find ourselves filled with peace and gratitude.

Inviting the substantive qualities of the Divine to express through us, we find Light, Love, Life, Peace, Power, Beauty, and Joy manifesting beautifully into our lives and reaching out into the greater world itself. As we choose to BE the Presence, Love overflows, and Wisdom prevails. Finally, we see our essential part in co-creating with the Divine. How magnificent it feels to understand and accept our glorious role, as we consciously bring Heaven to earth.

There is no need to ask, “Make me an instrument,” as we can simply declare, “I am an open channel for God’s Grace to show up in the world today!”
