GOD IS THE SEAT OF POWER. THAT IS, LOVE AND JOY ARE THE BEDROCK OF BEING

by Anthony Whitehouse CS

And yet mortal existence is continually asking us to allow our thought to dwell on error and dwelling on error we lose the sense of love and peace as being the seat of power.

We can afford to have only one sense of seat — the uninvaded stillness of Mind. As long as we allow thought to dwell on error we lose the correct sense of what that seat involves.

You KNOW that error does not have a seat at God's table !

"Thou shalt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee."
"Where shall the gaze rest but in the unsearchable realm of Mind."

Engineers know that pistons and valves do not work properly until they are well seated in the engine block. The same is true of the mechanisms of thought. Unless they find their seat in love, joy, serenity and harmony they malfunction.

Part of that seating is to never allow thought to dwell on error. Interesting word  Dwell
– origin Old English dwellan ‘lead astray, hinder, delay’ (in Middle English ‘tarry, remain in a place’), of Germanic origin; related to Middle Dutch dwellen ‘stun, perplex’ and Old Norse dvelja ‘delay, tarry, stay’.

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
Matt 5:1
