In My Fathr's House Are Many Mansions

“In My Father’s House Are Many Mansions”

WHAT IS HOME?
Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health, “Home is the dearest spot on earth”.

Home is an idea in Mind, and not in matter, nor in its geographical location, size, mortar or bricks.
Its foundation is in PRINCIPLE, and enveloped in ideas of safety, family, economy, hospitality, friendship, comfort, love, satisfaction, rest, peace, order and beauty.
Its structure is cemented by TRUTH, and inspired by LOVE, where no thieves can break in, or moth and rust can corrupt it.
The light of SOUL illumines and brightens it, with restful serenity and compassion..
SPIRIT, God, gathers the dwellers of this home, at its hearth, keeping them warm and cosy, sustaining and nurturing them.
LIFE, God maintains vitality, and activates freshness and newness continually.
MIND, God, maintains it and intelligently guides all its dwellers with wisdom, economy, and brotherly love.

TRANSACTION [buying and selling the home]

The word ‘transact’ comes from the Latin word “to push”,…to carry through, execute, handle, achieve, take care of, settle,

The entire transaction of this home is taking place in the sanctity of Soul, in the Kingdom of God, where honesty reigns supreme.
It cannot be a burdened venture, with fear, human opinions, and false sense of responsibility, regrets, or resentment crowding thought. Detach thought from any sense of resistance to be rigid, with self will controlling man.
Refuse to yield to any false sense of possession, or bondage of ownership, greed, or covetousness, to bind man.
Our inheritance is from God, and not any human inheritance can add to or deduct from man’s complete true and continuing supply.
Man is detached from any sense of error that can overpower his ‘clear sense and calm trust’. No sense of selfish motivation can obstruct or interfere with its progress. Mrs Eddy reminds us, “Dishonesty is human weakness.”[SC&H]. So it cannot pollute, adulterate, or contaminate or delay this transaction.
This transaction is free from any beaurocracy, red tape, or time bound calendar.

Love is its liberator, and deliverer of this transaction. This transaction is gathering new energy, with freshness, expectancy, and exuberance. The complete unfoldment appears thro order, effortlessness and proper presentation. “Spirit, God, gathers unformed thoughts into their proper channels, and unfolds these thoughts, even as He opens the petals of a holy purpose in order that the purpose may appear”[S&H 506:18]



The Christ goes before us to prepare and open the way, for this transaction to dissolve any impasse, delay or discouragement.
Just as nothing can stop the dawn from breaking through, in the same way nothing can delay this transaction from taking its course safely to its completion and fruition.
The Bible promises us in 2 Corinthians,” For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:” [2cor8:13-15]

Identification

Because God, Spirit, is the source of our substance and supply, man is satisfied, contented and at rest, at peace and complete. His dependence is not resting on any material inheritance, but on spiritual ideas.
Because Love, God inspires, designates and leads the way, man is relaxed, worriless, and in control of all his affairs.
Because Truth’s integrity is the impetus, man I bases all his decisions on being upright and honest.
Principle controls, balances, and motivates this transaction, with precision, harmony, limitlessness, and order, from its conception to its fruition. No luck, chance or any other cause can obstruct, destruct, intrude, or invert its harmony.
Life, God activates this holy plan, as it takes shape and fulfils its purpose.
Soul stimulates this transaction, into its proper appearing.
Mind directs this transaction with safety, wisdom and intelligent ideas.

No sense of coveting, influencing, conniving distrust, dissatisfaction, discouragement, anger, human will can stop this transaction.

Man gratefully transfers the ownership of his precious abode, to bless the new owners, for them to enjoy their new adventure in this home. No sense of false personal attachment or possessiveness can delay, or postpone its completion.

Thank you God for being our strength, our guidance, our compass, and our protection, to make this transaction a blessing to all.

Every detail of this transaction is already established in Mind and blessed by Christ. Deep gratitude for this transaction, is taking place in the ark of safeness

The Bible promise is, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” [John14:2]
