Sunday November 24, 1963. I knew that something wonderful was going to come out of the Unity Church service. I knew Mary Kupferle would have something healing and comforting to say. When she came on the radio she said a prayer and asked us to relax, which was very difficult to do. Then she mentioned that only good would come. With that the dam burst in my heart and the healing, easing cleansing tears started to flow. I had wanted to say only good would come but had not been able to. I guess couldn't look beyond the appearances and see good. After the prayer they sang America The Beautiful which I couldn't even hear because of my tears. The second prayer was almost as beautiful and continued to release the emotions inside me. Then Gerry Blok sang God Be With You Til We Meet Again which I felt to be directed right to Kennedy and I wept through that too. By then I was completely released and empty because Mary's talk filled me up with hope, strength - everything I needed. She read from Isaiah chapter 61 which was beautiful. Then her talk started.
Human nature is peculiar in liking to listen to the negative, and I thought how Mary knows and understands the failings, the weakness of us. Oh what she must have been through to attain this level. Then she went on to say that there is always something above and beyond appearances and we must take a stand immediately that God is still in charge and the very best can come. She mentioned how at times this seems completely opposite from the thoughts of the world which is so true. (We are like pioneers). Nothing is lost in Spirit and neither is Kennedy. We just should trust that some good can come from this and this is what Kennedy would want us to do. This provides all us in the nation and the world to take stock in our spiritual and personal thoughts. Beloved Mary said how our problems suddenly took a smaller dimension when the bigger came along. This is a great and wonderful challenge. Kennedy is still a thinking, living individual and is true more than ever to his God. Because of the absence of his personal body and leadership responsibilities he will bring an even greater blessing to our country. This funeral that is coming tomorrow is nothing but burying a used, discarded piece of clothing and is not Kennedy at all and I must remember this. Whenever problems come we must think of spirit and give ourselves to cause. There is something above the politics of everything, business', home, human relationships and there must be a workable religion (a religion based on spirit and truth) in any situation and we, using this workable religion can use this in any situation and come out better for it. The only water than can sink a ship is the water that comes inside. This goes for us too. If i wallow in negativeness and this so-called tragedy this is what can drown me. I must affirm that I am greater than any negative feeling that threatens to overcome me. I, meaning the Christ within. I must ask my self, what is my lesson in the tragedy, not that he, the other fellow will learn the lesson.
Mary asks herself and says we should ask ourselves, Do I believe in the teachings of Christ or are they just beautiful words? Is this what I believe in? Do I want to go all the way or not? Self honesty is important. Jesus could have lingered in the sadness and disbelief of the people. Instead He went on His way, praying, believing, healing the sick and He continued in faith. Jesus did not linger in thoughts of lack that other people had, instead He gave thanks for the loaves and the fishes. People saw past the situation and He fed the multitude.
Everything is in a process of changes because that is the growing up in the soul and nature. I must remember I am greater than anything that can happen to me.
