Email to friends, too big to text,Covid-19 Spring 2020 Emma Curtis Hopkins

Email to my wine&whine chocalatier friends, during our isolation from COVID-19,  Spring 2020.
We've been texting and phone chatting and "planets"-walking (far apart but together, i am mercury, because I wanted to be close to the sun, C1 is Saturn because she wants to be surrounded by rings, C2 is Earth and Venus depending on the moment.)
this was too long to text, even for me, hahah.

Reading my dear guide, Emma Curtis Hopkins, who was a 19th century Christian mystic, shared same teachers as Mary Baker Eddy, who founded Christian Science, but Emma did not follow that line, went her own way as a healer. Emma's early work included being one of the founders of the High Watch Sanitarium (?) that developed early treatment approaches that grew to be some of the roots of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Randomly opened it this morning, and thought I'd share:

"Between om and presence is the little syllable ni. Between om and potence is the little syllable ni, -- abbreviation for two Latin words. Ni stands for nigellum. Nigellum means nothing. Ni stands for nihil. Nihil means nothing. So, between Om, the Mind, and its rightful possessions of power, place, and Science, or Wisdom, is the claim of darkness, or nigellum, which is negation, standing as if it were something, while it is nothing.

Thus, between your mind and the attainment of its supreme bliss is the everlasting "ni," or the very bold assumption of nothing that it is something. By dropping the claims of misery, you step through the valley of the shadow of the apparent reality of misery, into the reality of blessedness divine."

nineteenth century language, but I catch that There is truly NOTHING between God's totality and the Power, omnipotence.
nothing Between God's presence and ourselves, omnipresence
nothing between God's knowing and our reality, omniscience.

"ni, standing as if it were something, while it is nothing"

very cool, i find it cleansing for my spirit.

every blessing on you and yours,
