Freedom to move

I stumbled across this quote in a newspaper ad, and it got me to thinking…

“Movement is thought liberated.”
~ Charlie Chaplin

How many conditions or circumstances can you think of where you felt limited in movement?

Perhaps stuck in a boring job, a loveless relationship, a depressed home, a sick body…?

“Movement is thought liberated.”

There is a spiritual idea behind this statement that leads to healing and liberation on a very wide front.

Chaplin may have been thinking about movement of the body, which he was so comically adept at doing, but I’m thinking of movement in the larger sense of expressing God to the fullest in terms of satisfying employment, healthy relationships, genuine contentment and more….

If movement is thought liberated, then movement out of uninspired employment, an empty relationship or a weak body begins with thought moving first.

This is so true!

We are not stuck in material “prison-cells” of dead-end jobs, empty relationships and dangerous environments. Christ gives us a key to open prison doors and set ourselves free.

One of those keys is knowledge of our spiritual birthright to eternal life, health, and happiness.

I have a friend who was diagnosed with a crippling form of arthritis that put him in severe pain and totally immobilized him. The diseased body looked like a life-long sentence of interminable suffering. We prayed together to know he was a free man, a spiritual man, possessing eternal health. That he was in full possession of that health and had never lost it. The arthritis vanished from his body, and so did the pain. It happened around 16 years ago. He’s very active today.

“Movement is thought liberated.”

Movement is thought liberated from the imprisoning beliefs of mortal mind that would deny our God-given right to live an active full free life.

We must not accept any prison terms of mortal mind! We must resist them. Cast them off.

The enemy is not matter, but fear, false belief and wrong conclusions.

Under the government of the one Mind, fear and false beliefs dissolve in the omnipresence of Love, the prison doors open, and we walk into the realm of Truth fetterless and free.

“Movement is thought liberated.”

Think out from unlimited Mind and be liberated today.

"Mind is the source of all movement, and there is no inertia to retard or check its perpetual and harmonious action. "

"Love is the liberator."
