MORTALS want to "get on," as the saying is. Almost everyone has some sort of ambition, and usually it is in the line of material accomplishment. There comes a time, however, when it is seen by many that all the material things placed at our disposal, and all the acclaim of mortals in praise of our human accomplishments, would not be sufficient to satisfy us or show us what "getting on" really means.
This admission should help to advance us to the point where the false nature of much so-called good is seen as evil in disguise. Then the satisfying simplicity of Christian Science may be understood and welcomed. Hitherto we may have believed in the necessity of a mixture of human good and bad, but now we are able to avoid this trap devised by mortal mind to hold us within evil's so-called power.
We may have been falsely educated, twisted mentally into the mesmeric belief that evil is the dominating force of the world and that good is negative and powerless. But what a travesty is the distorted thought about God's creation, the creation which He pronounced "very good"! Is human consciousness holding to the truth when it assigns first place to evil? Did not God disclose the truth to human consciousness when the fact of universal goodness was made known in Christian Science? God is Truth.
