A friend once shared with me a helpful analogy: If you enter a room and turn on a light, it doesn’t matter whether that room has been dark for fifty years or five minutes. As soon as the light goes on, the darkness is gone. 

This concept of light overcoming darkness is a theme I’ve appreciated throughout this month’s issue of the Journal. Whether the light comes as a gradual dawning or as a eureka moment, it represents that change of thought—the realization of spiritual Truth—that brings healing.

The lead article, “What it means to be a ‘child of light’ ” by Lynn G. Jackson, offers an in-depth and practical look at the marvelous light of Christ, Truth, which is already present within each one of us. The more we realize its presence, the more thought is transformed, and we see healing that blesses not only us, but others as well.

Transformation of thought is key to healing, as illustrated in Barb Goodspeed Grant’s article, “In the light of Spirit’s allness.” She writes, “As the darkness of fear and the false belief of the body as matter vanished, dissolved in the light of Spirit’s allness, so did the discomfort.”

As for those sudden realizations about God and ourselves, Linda Stocks-Copley explains in her piece, “My eureka moment,” how a quick and humorous thought shone a clearer light on the concept of age and enabled her to let a mortal sense of life effortlessly fall away.

May the articles, poems, and testimonies of healing in this issue of the Journal enlighten your thought and light up your pathway!
