07.02.23 "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness"

On Tuesday in the USA we will celebrate Independence Day which commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4 in 1776, 247 years ago. While signed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by the members of the Second Continental Congress, it was actually read to the public for the first time in Boston, Massachusetts from the east side balcony of The Old State House (see picture) on July 18, 1776 (2 weeks later). That building is now a National Historic Landmark and when the CMC did its ACIM Conference in 2019 we were just a couple of blocks from it. I toured the museum inside. It was inspiring. In the second paragraph of The Declaration of Independence we read about the “self-evident” truths of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” ACIM has a lot to say about all three of these things. "The Holy Spirit guides you into life eternal, but you must relinquish your investment in death, or you will not see life though it is all around you." (OrEd.Tx.11.42) Join me this Sunday as we gather powerfully to relinquish our investment to death together, which is the only way it ever can be done. Join me as we celebrate Independence Day. 34 min.
