“Convinced of the fruitlessness of their toil in the dark and wakened by their Master’s voice, they changed their methods, turned away from material things, and cast their net on the right side.” (Science and Health, page 35)

The disciples weren’t having a good day. They had lost hope and seemed destined to spend hour upon hour without catching a single fish. The elements seemed to be against them and their own gloominess kept them from seeing the ease of an answer and a blessing already at hand.

They needed the fish for nourishment and they needed the work to feel successful, for satisfaction, worth, and peace of mind. And with the voice of the Christ, they were given both. They were beckoned to stop their fruitless toil and change their methods. They needed to choose the right side, where spiritual Truth was abundant and where all their needs were already met. This fishing, this spiritual seeking, reaped the rewards of a net full of fish and a heart full of joy, expectation, and gratitude. They were ready to work, and to keep on listening.

We can hear this Christ voice as well, awakening us from the mesmerism of peering over the boat on the wrong side into the dark depths of emptiness. This clear and wise and practical voice of Truth is calling us to know the easy way, the way that does not confine itself to material methods, but opens itself to the instruction of God, to inspiration, to refreshment, to Life as it really is—nets full of ideas that feed bodies and spirits with all that saves and satisfies.

“I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” (John 12: 32)

Jesus’s ascension certainly drew mankind to follow his light and his message of Truth. His resurrection was an indication to all that he spoke truly about being the son of God, Spirit, Life. But this statement concerns each and every one of us. It is not simply about Jesus cheating death and getting attention and worship for it. It is about the way in which we each go about our lives.

When we lift our thought above earth, when we release our ego to the divine “I,” the one true Mind and Life, we are able to become a healing force in the world. It is not by our commiseration with matter and its constant barrage of limits and lies that we are a help to ourselves and to others. It is by a conscious recognition of who we really are and where we really dwell.

It is that conscientious acceptance of our oneness with God, our heavenly dwelling place, that which is clear and right and good, that we will draw others unto us, have an influence on thought and lives. We need to keep out of the tomb of deathly thinking, to be able to claim that healing perspective that is full of daylight and which breaks the gloom for us and for all. Jesus proved that Life is God–not fearful, not earthbound and doomed. This is our truth as well. So let us be grateful, joyous, buoyant, and bright with this irresistible light!

“Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” (Isaiah 44: 6)

There has never been any God but our God, infinite good. There has never been and will never be another ruler, another Principle, another power or creator. The Father-Mother has always existed and we have always been His children. There have never been other gods vying for our obedience and affection. God declared Himself and His Word stands forever. He is One and All.

The Christ comes anew to redeem us, to announce this unchanging Principle of our Life. Daily we are reminded by this loving Savior, Truth, that we are indeed the children of God, and just as He has never stopped being God, we have never stopped being His beloved ones. We actively and necessarily express Him Who is All and in All. There is no God besides Him and no man besides the right and perfect one we are.

Rejoice and be glad. There is no other god. There is no alternative power calling itself person or matter or circumstance or time. There is no presence calling itself devil, evil, sin, disease, death. There is only one God, one ruler, one King, one presence, one power and His name is Love.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14: 15)

Our obedience to the law of God, to His loving rules for life, comes naturally with our love for Him. In proportion to our consciousness of God and His true nature–that which is worthy of adoration, devotion, fidelity, and faith–we are able to keep His commandments with a sense of ease and joy.

If we are loving the perfect spiritual good that is God; if we are acknowledging Him as our very own Father and Mother and True Love, we can’t help but want to be loyal to His word, to trust His laws to guide us and keep us safe and satisfied. Recognize this natural love of God, of Love, of Life in your hearts and minds, and gracefully and gratefully obey Him.

God’s commandments are truly beckonings into the very Life that is most like us, most right for us, most loving and freeing. His commandments are not restrictions. They are those laws that open our lives to its true potential. His commandments are not that which deprive us of freedom, but which alert us to freedom, all that is real and enduring and right.

Be true to God by being true to yourself, to that which Love caused you to be. Honor divine Love’s creative control, and follow His perfect way of infinite purpose, protection, potential and promise.

“Material sense does not unfold the facts of existence; but spiritual sense lifts human consciousness into eternal Truth.” (Science and Health, page 95)

The revelation of life as it truly is will never come through the five material senses. The senses can’t perceive infinite Spirit, or know the expansive presence of perfect Life and Love. We shouldn’t put faith in sense testimony to show us who we are, what we are, or how we are doing. Physical perception can’t tell us the Truth, for the Truth is spiritual.

The facts of existence come to us through our spiritual senses. This spiritual evidence is clear and right and unshakeable. The human limited thought can awaken to this spiritual awareness by turning to God, good, and away from error, matter, limitation. Each of us has been given a heart that already holds in it the Truth of Being, God’s perfect Love.

Eternal Truth is ours to claim, to see, and to feel. Our spiritual sense is always at the ready. We know when we are receiving this true Word about things because it feels good and it feels right. Spiritual sense is not jarring or disturbing. It is that which calms and assures, enlightens and settles, for it is God’s own voice to our receptive thought, His own caress to our willing souls. Material sense can’t take you home to Truth’s promise, but spiritual sense reveals that you are already there.

“Jesus never spoke of disease as dangerous or as difficult to heal.” (Science and Health, page 147)

Jesus is the best example we have of how to flawlessly heal every sickness that would attempt to antagonize man. His approach was the one that always worked, and our own healings would be better demonstrated by actively pursuing his way of curing. And our starting point in this is so important.

Jesus wasn’t mesmerized by the symptoms of the trouble or the material prognosis for recovery. He didn’t even take the time to acknowledge the various details of the disease that confronted him. He didn’t brood and worry and look at the data of success for the healing of the sickness before him. He didn’t analyze, nor did he fear the disease or the sin. Contagion never entered his mind, nor did the duration of the problem. It was never too late for healing.

Let’s do our best to clear our thought of the preconceived ideas about sickness and the details of the bodies various organs and functions. If it didn’t matter to Jesus, and he healed all things, so why should it matter to us? What did matter to Jesus and should matter to us is the Truth. It is not what matter tells us with all its lying limits, but what God says about our identity, our makeup, the diagnosis for our life (the promise of Life). Let’s start with the easy naturalness of perfection, and go about our prayer and demonstration with a readiness and confidence, knowing that healing is not difficult or complicated. It is natural, necessary, and now!

“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” (John 14: 17)

The material world doesn’t know you. Personal sense can’t describe you or define you. Human opinions don’t have a clue as to the glory of you, that true idea that makes up every aspect of your perfect nature, beloved of God and powerful to good works.

The spirit of Truth is that Christ-idea that is the true definition of man, of you as God caused you to be and kept you to be. The material senses have no way of knowing Spirit. They cannot grasp or demonstrate infinite Truth, Life, and Love. Your grandeur transcends matter’s depictions, but it isn’t distant or difficult to claim and know.

Your heart already knows God. Love dwells in you and remains there in spite of the world’s doubts and opposition to goodness. Be still and know Him. Know Life and Love and Truth not as something to strive for or that can be lost through time and circumstance. That which is spiritual has no limits and endures forever. The Truth of you is always with you, its silent assurances at hand. The Truth of you is always preserving you, uplifting you, saving you, and loving you.

Receive the gift of knowing your own majesty–right here, right now, and always!

“Let us be faithful in pointing the way through Christ, as we understand it, but let us also be careful always to ‘judge righteous judgment,’ and never to condemn rashly.” (Science and Health, page 444)

We have a great gift to share. We have the understanding of God as All, as good, and as Love. We have been informed that we are all the sons of God, that because of this we are able to transcend material sense, and be set free to be free. We can’t hold this fact back or be timid about sharing the healing truth with others.

But, we must also be careful that we don’t presume that another is not naturally privy to the good news as he is hearing it. We have to be as ready to listen as to talk, to be receptive to others and their views, whether they seem to match ours or not. Every idea of God is precious. Each one has been given the truth inherently, is being attended to every moment by his Father-Mother, and so is discovering what is right and true for him. We need not claim responsibility for bringing another the Truth, or deciding the time and way that they must live and prove it.

We can also be discerners and not judgers. We can see beyond appearances and assumptions to the true, complete, good man that we are so excited to be coming to know. We should be thankful that every day we are being given the opportunity to recognize God’s man everywhere because that man is the only man there really is. Judging and condemning is not a part of our mission. Our mission is to love.

“The history of Christianity furnishes sublime proofs of the supporting influence and protecting power bestowed on man by his heavenly Father, omnipotent Mind, who gives man faith and understanding whereby to defend himself, not only from temptation, but from bodily suffering.” (Science and Health, page 387)

The ability of God to save and heal has been made evident throughout the centuries. We have a history of proof to rely on. The precedent has been set and the law behind it is valid and in force. We have the constant support and power behind all that we are and all that we do, because we are children of God, formed to show forth His Life.

And God has given us and continues to bestow on us all the tools necessary to know the Truth of being, to demonstrate it, to live it. Our omnipotent Mind gives man faith and understanding. That very faith we may feel betrays us with doubts; that understanding that may seem so elusive, God Himself has already provided us. Just as He has already given us the health that can’t be taken away, that well-being that can’t be kept from us, that peace and joy that we have freely and consistently, so we also have inherited the way of knowing this goodness.

Our loving Father-Mother has taken care of all the details. He protects and defends us. He gives us the very faith and understanding that is needed for our full release to the heaven He has made in us and for us. We already have all that we need to know and experience our good Life as God’s blessed and beloved children.

“Whatever is false or sinful can never enter the atmosphere of Spirit.”  (Science and Health, page 70)

The atmosphere of Spirit is impregnable. No material belief or material consequence can infiltrate its firm defenses. Spirit is that citadel in which we all dwell, and it includes every needful thing while leaving out all that is destructive or false, frightening or mistaken.

We are not residents of a geographical area with its climate, its economy, its boundaries and limits. We reside and abide in that spiritual Truth of our being, that Life that is not confined to material circumstances or defined by human history. Nothing evil or erroneous can enter divine Mind where His ideas—you and me—unfailingly live, and nothing ever has. No demon has gotten through and altered Life as God caused it to be.

We can breathe in that atmosphere of Spirit freely. We can know it has no germs of disease or strains of fear. Spirit is always actively enforcing and supporting Life. And we are Life’s own ideas always faithfully and fully expressed. We can walk within this pure atmosphere, energized by its strong currents of Life and Truth, and know that not only are we free, but we are presently and permanently safe!
