the atmosphere of intelligence. The belief that a pulpy
substance under the skull is mind is a mockery of intelligence,
a mimicry of Mind.
We are Christian Scientists, only as we quit our reliance
upon that which is false and grasp the true. We are not
Christian Scientists until we leave all for Christ. Human
opinions are not spiritual. They come from the hearing
of the ear, from corporeality instead of from Principle,
and from the mortal instead of from the immortal. Spirit
is not separate from God. Spirit is God.
(Human power a blind force)
Erring power is a material belief, a blind miscalled force,
the offspring of will and not of wisdom, of the mortal mind
and not of the immortal. It is the headlong
cataract, the devouring flame, the tempest's
breath. It is lightning and hurricane, all that is selfish,
wicked, dishonest, and impure.
(The one real power)
Moral and spiritual might belong to Spirit, who holds
the "wind in His fists;" and this teaching accords with
Science and harmony. In Science, you can
have no power opposed to God, and the physical
senses must give up their false testimony. Your influence
for good depends upon the weight you throw into
the right scale. The good you do and embody gives you
the only power obtainable. Evil is not power. It is a
mockery of strength, which erelong betrays its weakness
and falls, never to rise.
We walk in the footsteps of Truth and Love by following
the example of our Master in the understanding of
divine metaphysics. Christianity is the basis of true
healing. Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed
love, receives directly the divine power.
