"Fear them not, therefore; for there is
Nothing covered that shall not be revealed;
And hid, that shall not be known." —Matt. x. 26.
It begins to be seen that Mind is a power beyond what has hitherto been realized or suspected. No one that thinks but discovers, in his observations of mankind, a mighty power of thought, that is restless in its activity, that carries out its own purposes and aims, and weighs for good or evil on others. Mind acts upon mind so that no one thinks independently except in so far as, through understanding of Truth, he has gained the mastery over the false thought of mortal mind that seeks to find lodgment in his own thought, there to bear fruit after its kind.
It is revealed in Science that all action is Mind, Truth, or its counterfeit, error; the immortal Mind, the All in all, or mortal mind which is a lie from the beginning each — expresses itself in individual lives, and is recognized by its fruits. Can one perform any so-called physical act to benefit another, or speak a kind word, but there is first the impulse of desire or love in mind, that thus takes form in thought, and expression in act? Is it not seen, too, that, though no act be performed, no word spoken, the bare presence of one whose heart is filled with love to all, gives happiness, and peace, and rest, to all who are near? Such is the power of Mind for good that, consciously or unconsciously every individual living in the atmosphere of Love exercises.
