(Some lessons from nature)
Nature voices natural, spiritual law and divine Love,
but human belief misinterprets nature. Arctic regions,
sunny tropics, giant hills, winged winds,
mighty billows, verdant vales, festive flowers,
and glorious heavens, - all point to Mind, the spiritual
intelligence they reflect. The floral apostles are hieroglyphs
of Deity. Suns and planets teach grand lessons.
The stars make night beautiful, and the leaflet turns naturally
towards the light.
(Perpetual motion)
In the order of Science, in which the Principle is above
what it reflects, all is one grand concord. Change this
statement, suppose Mind to be governed by
matter or Soul in body, and you lose the keynote
of being, and there is continual discord. Mind is
perpetual motion. Its symbol is the sphere. The rotations
and revolutions of the universe of Mind go on
eternally.
(Progress demanded)
Mortals move onward towards good or evil as time
glides on. If mortals are not progressive, past failures
will be repeated until all wrong work is effaced
or rectified. If at present satisfied with
wrong-doing, we must learn to loathe it. If at present
content with idleness, we must become dissatisfied with
it. Remember that mankind must sooner or later, either
by suffering or by Science, be convinced of the error that
is to be overcome.
In trying to undo the errors of sense one must pay fully
and fairly the utmost farthing, until all error is finally
brought into subjection to Truth. The divine method
of paying sin's wages involves unwinding one's snarls,
and learning from experience how to divide between sense
and Soul.
