Thank you! I never thought of consciousness and Love in this way before but thought I would have to be conscious of Love myself instead of
understanding that I already was living in the consciousness of Love!
So this was a very inspiring and new idea! Thanks again! - Agatha

Thank you so much. I has really lifted me up, to realize that I dwell in Love's consciousness of me.

Thank you. What a lift to know that we dwell in Love's consciousness of us!

Thank You Brian,
This is the perfect message to hold in thought for someone who is once again temporarily "homeless". The thought that they "Dwell in Divine Love wherever they lay their head" is comforting and should help to provide a secure, comfortable and practicle answer, especially at this time of year.
Thank you again for this loving message.

The Daily Lifts this week have been outstanding in their simplicity and practicality.
Many thanks to all the lecturers and commentators and producers.
Love from Quinns Rocks Western Australia

Thank you so much Brian. Yes, dwelling in the house (the consciousness) of (Love) forever, is such a comforting thought.

So many things in our thoughts and experience are reversed by the metaphysics of Christian Science. Our consciousness of Love is a reflection of the divine light. We yield to and reflect the Love that is God, not needing to create something we don't have. Many thanks Brian!

Wonderful, Brian! This will be so comforting for many listeners - it certainly was for me. Thank you.

Superb!

It's not us being conscious of God but God's consciousness of us.

A much more encompassing idea: the realization that it is not what we are doing but what God is doing for us.

Wherever I am, God is! To dwell in the "consciousness of Love", as MBE explains on Psalm 23, ( S&H 578:17) we need to make sure we don't allow in our thought any suggestion of law of any kind that can control us, bully us, crash us or deprive our consciousness of good of any kind. "Jesus once said, "Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink," — presuming not on the prerogative of his creator, but recognizing God, the Father and Mother of all, as able to feed and clothe man as He doth the lilies." S&H 530:7

ESPAÑOL
¡Donde quiera que yo esté, Dios está! Para vivir en la "conciencia del Amor" como MBE lo explica en el Salmo 23 (CyS 578:17), tenemos que asegurarnos de no permitir que entre en nuestro pensamiento alguna sugerencia de ley de cualquier tipo que pueda controlarme, intimidarme, aplastarme o privar a mi conciencia de cualquier clase de bien. “Jesús una vez dijo: "No os afanéis por vuestra vida, qué habéis de comer o qué habéis de beber" —no arrogándose la prerrogativa de su creador, sino reconociendo que Dios, el Padre y la Madre de todos, es capaz de alimentar y vestir al hombre como lo hace con los lirios.“ CyS 530:8

Thank you Brian. Live in the presentce.

Revelation and reason. God knowing us, so it is both being known and knowing it. Our awareness of Love's presence and power in and around.
How very special for those labeled "homeless". An impossibility we can help un-know.Thanks, Brian, for the higher view and meaning for all. Sweet.

Thanks so much, Brian. A month or so ago I decided that whenever I saw a homeless person, or someone begging by the road, instead of seeing them as poor and needy I would affirm in my own thought that these individuals could only be really dwelling in the 'consciousness of Love'.

So am grateful to have this truth reaffirmed in this Daily Lift!

Wow! that is amazing. What an insight!
Thank you Brian

It is really helpful to know where the responsibility for our home lies, to know that God alone is in control. And then, to realise that this our God is Love, is extremely reassuring. Mary Baker Eddy says it best in Science and Health 'The depth, breadth, height, might, majesty and glory of infinite Love fill all space. That is enough!' Certainly is.
Thanks Brian

HI Brian, thanks for reminding me that divine Love is not 'out there' but here and now!

Many thanks Brian for your inspiring fresh look at Psalms 23 from "Science and Health" page 578:17, by Mary Baker Eddy, to "...dwell in Love's consciousness of us.!" . Myself, I can also gain fresh inspiration by reading page 578: 8, as "Love restoreth my --- spiritual sense:" Individual inspiration is limitless, just like God [Mind}.. "Eternal [infinite] Mind the Potter is,..." (Christian Science Hymnal #52)

Thank you Brian.
I love the new concept for me to see Love's consciousness of all of God's children. Our spiritual "home" is with and of God. Nothing can change this.

Thanks, Brian. Very inspiring. A "keeper."

Thank you very much. This is a beautiful and most soothing message. I will surely listen to it many times again today.

Thank you, just what is needed now and to see and know that all of God's children are safe in His care.

Thank you very much indeed for the wonderful daily lift which adds to the Lesson Sermon so perfectly. I shall treasure it. Claire.

THANKS FOR THE LIFT!
A NEW WAY OF SEEING A FAVORITE BIBLE'S VERSE.
VERY INSPIRED AND INSPIRING

SO helpful. Thank you!!

Excellent, pure, and true. I pray to drink this in truly and deeply. It is treatment. Thank you so much.

This Lift was so lovingly and clearly delivered. I feel absolutely wrapped up in Love's presence. Thanks so very much, Brian!

Thank you for this wonderful sense of our oneness with Love....truly a lift!

Great lift, Brian! And a different way of looking at it than I had thought of. Very helpful. Thanks a lot!

Thanks Brian for the great uplift. Very thought provoking,I'm going to listen to it again.

Thank you, Brian, for a whole new view: dwelling in Love's consciousness of me/us!

Thank you, Brian, for this absolutely beautiful lift. It was so lovingly given that I immediately felt lifted and conscious of Love's presence.

What an appropriate message for the Christmas season. You have given me a new idea to ponder, Brian, and I can already feel it giving fresh direction to my prayers. Thank you.

Dear Brian, this is truly inspirational to realize that I dwell in Love's consciousness of me! I'm always in there endeavoring to be conscious of Love's presence instead of acknowledging that Love is already conscious of me! It is mind-boggling - a fresh, new thought! Thank you so much!

Secure in Love's consciousness, which includes Man. Our perfect habitat!

Makes living with a sense of debt seem a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?
Mrs Eddy recognized the stages we grow through with words likes these: "Rest assured that He in whom dwelleth all life, health, and holiness, will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory." MY 186:13

Thank you, Brian, for elevating our grasp of where we live today!

Thank you for this lovely Lift, Brian. We watched The Soloist tonight. A movie about the homeless in Los Angeles, California. It was about a man who played the cello beautifully, and learned to accept love. I was praying one day and God said "Love is not something we get. Love is who we are." God always speaks to us with words we understand. As one who spent nights in big pipes under roads far out west, and tucked in down a little bush track, I do appreciate that we are at home in consciousness absolutely everywhere.
Thank you for this wonderful Christmas gift, Brian. Everyone will appreciate it as a gift of unconditional love. (In Australia we call a gift - a present - a pressie. It's what we do. . . )
Nathan I know who's going to lead the carols at your place this
Christmas!

Thank you so much for the lovely Lift - a wonderful thought to ponder all day!

WOW!!! Thank you Brian for giving us another way to ponder on dwelling in Love's consciousness. Man lives in God's consciousness and dwells in Love's consciousness of man. When I observe a homeless individual, I think to myself he or she is never homeless. Our home is in God. Man is just temporarily houseless. Thank you once again Brian for such an uplifting concept.

This is beautiful. And it works all ways. Sometimes we are loving and love is returned to us. Sometimes God's love is revealed in the human kindness we receive, and sometimes we know it directly from the Source of it all. But this Lift says it lots better than my thank you...

I do like to tell others and remind myself that true home is hinted or revealed in elevated affections. And that "heart" and "hearth" are from the same root...

Brian: WOW, another "light bulb" moment from the Daily Lift - dwelling in LOVE'S consciousness - isn't it just like mortal man to have looked at this as always me and mine?!? HA!!! Thanks so much, Brian, for sharing LOVE'S insight. And thanks, also, for the wonderful lecture in Waco on Sunday - it made the idea of healing in Christian Science so natural and attainable.

And thanks to TMC for it's commitment to sharing CS through the Internet - Daily Lifts, Chats, Podcasts, Lectures. Those resources and the publications along with S/H and the Bible are my CS family.

Infinite blessings to all!

Lovely, gentle, and powerful! It's a week indeed to cherish the 23rd Psalm.

I really like the idea of us dwelling in Love's consciousness as it opens us up to inifinity! Thank you, Thank you very much!

This was beautiful and just what I needed to get my thoughts in order for the day ahead!

Brian,

What a great revelation!!! This spiritual truth, that we all dwell in Love’s consciousness of us for ever can be seen and traced in the following precepts and line upon lines of the Scriptures as stated by Christ Jesus: "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 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. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14: 1-3) "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." (John 1: 16-18) "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. (John 4: 11-14) Thank you for another great lift!!!

Brian, Wow! Thanks for "enlarging our tents" by enlarging our understanding that we truly “live in Love's consciousness of us" and are not limited to just what we understand of “what we are consciousness of Love” today! This is one gift that will keep on giving as we treasure, share and grow in the wonderful understanding of God, divine Love, the Father-Mother of the family of man made in Love’s image and likeness, in “Love’s consciousness of us!” Thank you, thank you!

Thank you, Brian. My husband and I recently stopped for lunch at a fast food restaurant and I witnessed a man traveling with large suitcases who after some perception, I realized he was homeless. My heart went out to him and I started feeling sorry for him. But today your thoughts will enable me to withhold him and others in the same situation with the spiritual thought that they are really in Love's consciousness. No time to be sad or sorrowful. Thank you again.

Cada día el Padre provee para nuestras necesidades, Gracia a Dios por su dón inefable! no hay necesidad alguna de mortificarnos, preocuparnos, llenarnos de dudas o desconcierto por lo que será mañana,"Basta a cada día su propio afán.
si miramos para atrás veremos como fuímos provistos en cada una de las viscisitudes que nos toco atravesar, "Venid a mí yo os haré descansar"

MODERATOR'S NOTE:
Matthew 11:28

Thank you Brian I will find a way Sunday to mention this verse to a homeless man who attends church and studies and perserveres., and is not bitter.

A transforming moment--thank you!
I have always loved this concept-- HOME, Harmony of Mind Expressed--which is certainly Love's consciousness of us and where we dwell.
I will pay closer attention to my responses when I hear or see or think homelessness could ever be true of God's idea.

Wonderful. Thank you, everyone for another week of vital Lifts.

There is no other place I want to be....nor can be!! Thanks

Thanks, Brian. Some parents have children who are coming of age and wanting to express their individuality in finding a place of their own, or moving into a home with good friends. It's comforting to know that our children are covered with Love's knowledge of them as well as of ourselves. What better and more safe place can we be than being in Love's shelter where ever we are.

"In him we live and move and have our being." (Paul)

Oh, what a comforting message, Brian. Thank you so much.
And how wonderful to know that it's true for all of God's children!

Wonderful lift! Thank you for this thought-filled message!

The minute I heard "We dwell in Love's consciousness of us" I wrote it down. Then I read all the comments and saw that everybody had done the same thing! It's never about us, but always about GOD. "His Love encircles me and mine and all." MBE's hymn. Thanks so much Brian! :)

Hearing this is a blessing today, thank you. My husband and I are in this very challenge. Home and supply. Rather than accept this picture of being homeless we've strived to see our home and supply in God. Your talk is one more step up. Thank you!

Understanding this truth helps to relieve the false belief that we are responsible for the maintenance of our home, too. Originally, economy meant how a woman maintained her home. Our Father/Mother does the maintaining and she addeth no sorrow with it!

The article by Adam Dickey entitled Possession brings out some lovely points regarding our true home.

Thanks for sharing your insights.

MODERATOR'S NOTE:
The article mentioned above can be found in the <em>Anthology of Classic Articles </em>. It is available in any Reading Room or on www.spirituality.com.

It is so comforting to know that just like Noah, we are all safe in the "ark" today. (S&amp;H P.581) May thanks to all to make the Daily Lift available.

Thank you for that reminder. It was a line from the 23rd Psalm that brought me into CS, at a bad time in my life I turned to God for help, and I heard the angel message "leave the valley", at the time I lived in a community that the name ended in Valley, so I asked leave this valley, but I heard this "leave the valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil" I don't think I'd heard that Psalm for many years before then, but there it was in my consciousness, and at the same time an image of an aunt came into my thought, and she was a Christian Scientist, and I knew I had to call her. As I've heard before, the rest is history, my life has been better since that day, not without challenges, but always with God I can affirm he keeps his promises. Thanks again!

I like to think that homeless is all-in-all and home is All-in-all.
Thank you Mr. Talcott

Thank you for the good thoughts today. Comfort is right here because we dwell in His consciousness and God, good, Christ, is the Comforter. God is conscious of and loves each of us unendingly and completely. This is the truth of our identity and when we claim it, more of its meaning is brought into our thoughts, words, and deeds naturally. Thank you for the daily lifts! Woke up with Hymn 310 Sing ye joyous children sing, Glorious is the Christ, our king, Truth has come again to earth, Through the Savior's birth."

Thanks to Brian and all the people who take the time to comment. This is a "lovely" message. How can we help but shine forth love to others when we dwell in Love's consciousness of us!

Thank you , it makes me think

Visiting New York City this week, I've seen a lot of homeless people on the streets. This Lift offers such a spiritually clear view of the fact that we "live in Love’s consciousness of us.” Excellent response, and a clear prayer direction for this issue--not only here, but all around the world. Thanks, Brian!

Rosa Maria's comments in 46 were so sweet--here is a fair translation so others can enjoy them, too.

&lt;&gt;

I too appreciated the Love-filled simplicity of your message, Brian, and I know it will be a blessing to me and so many others today.

Thank you, Brian, for that beautiful “lift” for the day! Hymn # 93 1st &amp; 3rd verses by William P. McKenzie from the Christian Science Hymnal goes right along with the thoughts you shared.

Happy the man whose heart can rest,
Assured God’s goodness ne’er will cease;
Each day, complete, with joy is blessed,
God keepeth him in perfect peace.

Dwelling in Love that cannot change,
From anxious fear man finds release;
No more his homeless longings range,
God keepeth him in perfect peace.

Thank God for all the wonderful avenues showing his love and care in every challenge; and for the people who listen and share the good news!

Thank you, Brian. Not only is the idea you've shared perfect and comforting, but just as much the feeling with which you've delivered it.
You've givenhere a gift to carry around in one's Christmas pocket!

A solid conviction that promps practical action for the homeless.

Thank you Brian for those words of comfort and healing. I pass many homeless when I'm in Chicago and the thought of those who are homeless as living in the consciousness of Love as their permanent dwelling is a true healing idea. While in the train station waiting for my train a man came up to me asking for money for food, but I said, I have a box of food that I couldn't finish from a restaurant and you are welcome to it. He gratefully took it. In the past I have given these dear ones money and I may again do that in the future but my prayer will always be based on the supply that operates unspent as the Love that is ever flowing from God operating continuously and constantly from an infinite spiritual resource and can never be diminished.

This wonderful lift gives new meaning to carols such as I'll be home for Chistmas.. we are all already home in Love's consciousness.. what a safe place. Thanks Brian.

Thank you for reflecting that angelic light on the idea of where we stay.

Thank you, Brian. That's exactly the progression of thought I had earlier this week, when listening deeply to this Psalm. I'd always thought about enlarging my sense of Love, my consciousness of what Love was, and living more and more within that. But this time, I could hear an angel whisper, "Come closer." When I did, I could almost literally feel myself standing within Love's awareness of me. God, Love, knowing me that very moment. Love, conscious of me. And I thought, "Oh, now THIS is where I want to live." And of course, once I saw that, I sensed the deepest truth: that I (and every one of God's beloved) had ALWAYS lived as, and within, what Love knew/knows of us. Where else could we ever be?

Yes, this LIft has been like the presenting and unwrapping of a most wondrous Christmas gift. Actually, no, it's not been "like" that--it IS a most wondrous gift!!

Joy to every single one of Love's ideas, involved in the production and appreciation of these Daily LIfts.

Brian - This is a great lift. Thanks.

Thank you so much for your message. I was surprised to hear it because I think so often when people think of someone who is homeless it is stereo typed into the homeless people who are standing with signs along the road or in parking lots and I don't fit into that stereotype, so I wasn't thinking that there were enough people like me that it was a topic that would be addressed. I so much appreciate your thoughts on dwelling in God's conciousness and that I dwell in the house of the Lord forever. I can know that for myself and for all who find themselves in the situatation of not having a material home.

What a simple, profound fact. Thank you! It translates beautifully to prayers for my Marine son deployed in the field in Afghanistan. This morning, my thought rested on the citation from Psalms in this week's lesson that says, "The Lord shall preserve thee from evil: he shall preserve thy soul." God keeps these individuals on the front lines or those without a physical roof over their heads pure and trusting, safe and sheltered. He protects their souls, their spiritual identity and strength, from any assault of the senses. They are sane and at peace, centered and untouched by the human picture, as they dwell "in the consciousness of Love" always at home with their Father.

Thank you for this tender and comforting Lift today. It really leads us to understand where we really live - in divine Love's embracing arms, eternally.
Thank you to all those who commented today. The ideas shared are so helpful and supportive of all of us and those we share the Lift with.

Brian! Great! Yes, I've always taken comfort of the fact that I dwell in the consciouness of Love, but the augmented version is as you said: We dwell in Love's consciosness of us, of me! Divine Love is always knowing the truth about me and it's all good and loving thots. Thanks so much!!

wonderful!.....
We're in Love's consciousness of us!...

Thanks for the solid lift, Bryan

love it.

Thankyou Brian, this is a most beautiful promise that I have used many times as I pray. Dwelling in Loves consciousness of us brings immediate peace and joy for it lifts up thought to our oneness with divine Love which includes everyone.

A lot more power in His/Love's consciousness of us than the other way around. A truly wonderful lift. thank you

What a gentle reminder that brings peace in health, our daily activities, our government, our world. It's all encompassing. Thank you.

Thank you, Brian. This way to think on the verse is a breakthrough. Not that Mrs. Eddy doesn't cover the concept, but it's how we take up concepts and apply them that determines our experience. You've helped me, already. After listening to the Lift before dropping in bed this morning, I awakened with a strong headache, a problem I have too frequently had to ride out, rather than cure quickly, I thought about the Lift and knew I didn't have to get conscious of truths about God. God's consciousness of me didn't include the problem. It wasn't long before I was free. That's just starting to use the Lift for myself, I'm expecting more. The spiritual light this puts on a Psalm so loved by many religions, clearly shows it says exactly what you revealed, another solid confirmation of Christian Science teachings. Language can only inform; understanding determines what we get from the information. Thank you for this Christmas-time gift of understanding. It's a gift that will keep on giving, with enough to share freely.

Very soothing..... and don't you love those Psalms!!!! magnificent.....

More endless love in Love with you and all with thanksgiving!

Thanks Brian! Good reminder that there is only one Mind and that it is constantly beholding us - uniquely.

Thank you Brian for that comforting message.

Listening to the lift, I really felt a relaxing peaceful presence. It quieted a troublesome thought I was having about a situation. Thank you, Brian and other lifters for your sharing of God's goodness.

Thanks Brian! Living in a tent for 13 months is not a bad thing when Love's consciousness fills the tent. The tent-dweller needs to know this, but we can all help him/her by acknowledging the ever-presence of Love.

74 - I can identify with your Marine son. A thought always helpful to me --- in and around the tent --- was: "A spiritual idea has not a single element of error, and this truth removes properly whatever is offensive." (S&amp;H 463:12-13) When we see all those around us as God's children, spiritual ideas, we're protected from any offensive thought or action.

Thank you, Brian. This is a refreshing twist on a common concept, and I like it.

Beautiful Lift! Thank you for your time to reveal these very true and real thoughts that help keep our own thoughts uplifted and elevated to be receptive for new fresh ideas to help us all growth in love in our moments now and moments to come. Thanks again!

I love this fresh view of the Psalmist's verse, thank you so much.

Blessed we are with inspired ideas like yours, and we know that all ideas come from divine Love, God. I am grateful to God for your 'lift'. The 23rd Psalm and
“In Him we live and move and have our being.” from Acts 17:28 were my prayers when last May I had to move from the place where I resided for 14 years. I was not sure what would happen to me then, but the study of the daily lesson and those statements full of substance gave me comfort and assurance that 'all is well'. I was able to move to another location not far from where I was and contrary to all suggestions of high prices, difficulty in finding a residence in the area, etc., I found a place that is better, affordable, comfortable and quiet. What a blessing!

Translation to 46, Rosa Maria
Each day the Father provides for our needs, "Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift!" (2 Cor. 9:15)
There is no need to be mortified, worried, full of doubt or confusion for what will happen tomorrow, Each day has enough worry about itself.
if we look back we will see how we were provided in each of the hardships we played through, "Come unto me...and I will give you rest"

MODERATOR'S NOTE:
Matthew 11:28

I appreciated this 'lift' so much, it stayed with me all day yesterday, and was so inspiring I listened again this morning too, just to ensure the concept of being in 'Love's consciousness of me' was that tangible. I found the concept quite enormous to grasp, that at first I couldn't conceive it, and kept thinking and maintaining it as an idea in all my activities.
Thank you . It is still unfolding for me.
( I am looking for the copy of 'Possession by Adam Dickey' but couldn't find it via the link, not sure where 'anthology' section was - any clues please?!)

This meets a true need now for those of us who may be wondering what next place we will be living,. To know that I always live in God and in his consciousness of me is a very real comfort.

Thank you for this change of perspective.

communication is always from God to man...MBE

This is the turn of thought.
Thank you ;&lt;}

The 23rd Pslam is a favorite of mine; one I've used many times to help get my thoughts back on track. Various Bible commentaries have many helpful interpretations and insights, but dwelling in "Love's consciousness of us" takes this psalm to a new level for me.
Thanks, Susan

One morning as I was getting into my car in the parking lot at a local grocery store, a very nice young man approached me and asked for money. I told him I would buy him a meal. Several eating establishments were a few feet away. I suggested a fast food place. He said, "Do you mind if we go next door to the restaurant? It's actually cheaper, better food, and I can share the meal with a friend because they give you a lot of food." So we went to the restaurant and got his meal. He was so grateful. Since my brother was "homeless" for a long time and our family did not know where he was, I look at these people in a different light. I see them as the "loved of Love" never separated from their Father-Mother God. What a beautiful gift of Love this lift is to all.

Thank you! How inspiring to think of dwelling in Love's conciousness of me!

I love that.

I have been working hard to dwell in the secret place of the most High. Psalm 91. To keep my thoughts spiritual, loving and protected in that secret safe place. It is wonderful to think of being in Love's consciousness there.

Thanks.

Perfect, I really needed to here this, thank you!

Brian, you have given me a new way of thinking of a favorite verse, "For in Him we live and move and have our being." (Acts 17:28)
In Him -- in Love's consciousness of us -- we live and move and have our being.

Thank you, Brian, and thank you to the BoL for keeping these Daily Lifts up for us to refer to long past their original airing.
