Reading & Meditation (Light) by Rev. Christine Emmerling DD, 3/16/2025

Today I’ve selected a reading from the Divine Science Daily Study by Rev. Dr. Sylvia Eriksson, Victoria Australia.

“God is Light, and in him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 1:5

“I am the light of the world.” John 8:12

“I, a living soul, stand before the Lord with the light of His glory shining through me.” So wrote Nona Brooks in her inspiring book, In The Light of Healing. Her consciousness so filled with the Truth of Being, Nona wrote that we are all living souls, each individual a center of light in the one great Light, the Glory of God shining through us and throughout the entire universe.

We each radiate the Light from our indwelling God-Presence to the degree that we understand that we are immersed in Divine Mind and all the attributes of God are immediately available to us. Love, Truth, Wisdom, Power, and Goodness are just a few of the infinitude of gifts from God which we can embody and make our own. As our spiritual growth expands our awareness of our own divinity, so we become centers of God-activity in all that we are Spirit-led to do.

We affirm: Today I turn inward, I embrace my God-given attributes and I shine my Light upon all that is good, true and beautiful. The radiance of Infinite Spirit lights my path as I resolve to become that which God intends me to be. I am uplifted, empowered and strengthened in all my actions, knowing that God is working through me. I dedicate my God-activity to God’s Glory and I give thanks as it shines through.

Meditation “Light”

We shall now move into meditation on “Light.” Get comfortable and relax as we turn inward to our Holy Temple - this sacred place within us. Let us relax into our breathing as we quiet our mind. We now bring our mind and heart together and silently listen.

God is Light, infinite all encompassing, everywhere present light. This Divine Light is all intelligence, all knowledge, all wisdom, understanding, life, joy, power and love.

One mind, the mind of God is pure radiant light. I as an expression of God, am too radiant light. My true being is pure light. Divine Intelligence, Infinite Love is living and expressing in through and as my very life.

Every aspect of my being is pure light. Every atom and cell is a radiating center of Divine intelligent light.

I am a lamp for God’s all powerful light. (Repeat)

I now extend my consciousness to embrace this entire universe of light. Even what I have seen before as darkness is truly a spectrum, a ray of radiant light. Just as all living things has its own colorful rays of light, with eyes that can see beyond the denseness of form, sees the shimmering colors of light. This living energy of life is embodied and is shimmering dancing with life beyond the body’s form.

All of mother earth: water, air, rocks, dirt, plants and including the depths of the earth are all alive radiantly shimmering with light. This light is the light of God, the divine intelligence living in all of creation. And I am one with this very same light, love and intelligence of God that is of all creation. Let us be in a minute of silence...

Let us take a few moments in gratitude. We are grateful for these moments of at-one-ment. We give thanks for this expanded awareness. Thank you, God! So it is. Amen.
