Truth never chemicalizes. It is only mortal mind that seems to do that. Many and many of these disturbed mental conditions does a student of Christian Science pass through in climbing the mount of progress. To realize what these darkened conditions really are, and to feel no resistance to the action of Truth and Love, is to dispel them. Closer relations to the Infinite Presence do not appear to one while agitated by a chemical, but while peacefully and patiently waiting to know what new day the darkness or silence portends.
Does the thought of the reality of evil or error tempt you? Then fill the void with the realization of the omnipotence and all-presence of universal Love. If malice seems to work against you, know that it has neither power nor intelligence. Meet it thus; remembering the absoluteness of God, Good, and his universal family, all led and governed by Truth and Love. As we do this and confine ourselves to our own work, not attempting to intermeddle with the work of others, the adversary findeth nothing in us, wherein to abide and disturb the calm trust and restful joy of the obedient and willing follower of the teachings of Divine Science.
Mortal mind pronounces and suffers out its own sentences of ignorance and error. A chemical only means growth, as it throws off some of the scum of personal sense and self-seeking. The student who cannot bear to see his own personal beliefs disappear, or to realize their nothingness, cannot come into the peace and permanence of the one Mind and its directions. Only as we dare to rely upon the Principle of our work, can we be led divinely.
