Rev. Donald O'Connor
Minister Emeritus

Be aware of the Mind in you that defines who you are.

Title: God's Principles Are Inviolable

My bottom line (which surely deserves to be the lead line) is that we had better dig deeper so we can understand a great big Truth: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT THE GAME!

We can never really get by when we think we don't have to live by principle. God IS Principle, what I have elsewhere termed ISNESS. God is inviolable Truth/Reality.

The dictionary: inviolable, not to be profaned, not to be broken, sacred, holy, obligatory, unalterable. Inviolate: unprofaned, uninjured, unpolluted, virgin, intact, undefiled. [All that God creates is the virgin birth, pure and undefiled.]

Only by living according to PRINCIPLE, TRUTH, LOVE, JUSTICE, GOODNESS, UNSELFISHNESS, etc. will our results work out to our benefit and contribute to the common good.

Principles cannot be violated, damaged, minimized, or sidestepped. The conditions we produce when we don't live up to Principle are only temporary--until we make the necessary changes. God's perfect world has not been affected nor even touched. It is still there for the accepting. When we are ready to live by Principle, we will find it is within us and ready.

Speaking of The Secret, the magnificent Truth is that God in/as each and all of us cannot be damaged. This means that you and I can never be less than what we are as God's perfect creation. Yes, indeed, the human family (and it would seem, all that God has created) is in the process - an eternal proposition - of evolving, unfolding, developing the apparent unlimited diversity of expression and manifestation from what we term the "invisible" into the "visible." The things that we do and experience that have been called variously sins, errors, mistakes, bad, etc. etc. need to be rectified by getting back to Principle, but we, what we truly and eternally are, cannot be damaged because we are talking about God and God in process, what today is being referred to as "works in progress."

When do we know we need to change and live by Principle? When we don't like what we are experiencing. In such cases, we need to answer some "hard" questions: Have I been Honest? Have I been Loving? Have I been Unselfish? Have I Loved myself? Have I felt separated from God, from people? Have I practiced meditation? Am I practicing substance abuse? Do I eat well and do I exercise? Do I feel less than others or could it be that I feel superior? Do I live from fear or courage?

That of course is just a sampling, but we see here how easy it is to deviate from living by Principle. So if we want better conditions, let us hear the message and get cracking!
