SPIRITUAL PROGRESS IS OUR DIVINE RIGHT

Hello,
I’ve had to take some time away from my blog to help a family member, but have been missing the opportunity to put down my thoughts about all that has been going on. Sometimes we feel that our life has taken a difficult turn, but in retrospect, we find that the spiritual progress during this difficult time has been immense.

Mary Baker Eddy has written some words in her writings other than Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, that I have found to be very comforting during difficult times. They show us that there is always spiritual progress regardless of whatever the picture seems to be. In Miscellaneous Writings, she writes, “He who has named the name of Christ, who has virtually accepted the divine claims of Truth and Love in divine Science, is daily departing from evil; and all the wicked endeavors of suppositional demons can never change the current of that life from steadfastly flowing on to God, its divine source.” (Mis. 19:11)

It’s good to remember that these “demons” are suppositional. They are not sent by God, but exist only in the darkness of thought that is not enlightened by the Christ. And when the light of Christ flows back into thought, these dark visitors flee into their native nothingness. And we realize that the entire experience has faded into a “non-event”. It no longer has a fearful hold on our thought. We are free, expressing the dominion over the earth that God has naturally given man, as spoken of in the first chapter of Genesis in the Bible.

I hope to be sharing more with you in the future. Thank you for your patience.
