Change Gracefully--Or Not
This Week's Topic
Let Go and Live
By Reverend Gay Beauregard

Rev. Gay Beauregard, Alpine Church of Spiritual Living
This week’s topic is “Let Go and Live” as we are moving through the theme this month of “Change Gracefully – Or Not”. When I say “Let go”, I am referring to letting go of tension, of anticipation that “something” is wrong – or at least not right. It’s a vague feeling that plays in the background of life. You can’t quite put your finger on it but is definitely there.
I currently have my computer being worked on by an expert. It had been running slow until finally the message came up saying “the application (office) was unable to start correctly”. The lovely woman I called on the phone is being very helpful. She’s still working on it as I’m typing this from my old computer. It’s a process that I just have to “let go” and wait to see what happens. How many times do we ignore small signals of life telling us we need to address something until it snowballs out of control? We in New Thought call this a “two x four” wake up call.
I say an Aramaic version of the Lord’s Prayer each morning while I do my stretching. One of the lines is: “Don’t let surface things dilute us but free us from what holds us back.” I love to contemplate that message. I wonder how diluted I am by the surface things of life. I yearn to be free from the hidden messages and “tapes” that run silently within me. Much like my computer gets held back by the ineffective programming with which it has been dealing.
So, it’s a good thing to routinely clean up our thinking – to be aware of the tendencies of our expectations and release the negative ones that hold us back. In this way we are set free to truly live in the here and now. Life is about change. We can do it with ease and grace or kicking and screaming. There is a quiet level of accepting what is and going with the flow that brings peace.
Say with me: “I live in this present moment setting myself free from worn out thoughts and feelings that hold me back. I am free at each moment to live life to its fullest and I am grateful.”

"The philosophy of Religious Science is nothing new to the world. It is rather a synthesis of the greatest concepts that have ever come to the mind of humankind. The laws of Moses, the love of Christ, the ethics of Buddha, the morals of Confucius and the deep spiritual realization of the Hindus all find an exalted place in the philosophy of Religious Science."
