When we view present events or review past ones, it is well to rid ourselves of a false belief that, in the Science of being, we have experienced or are presently experiencing activity or existence apart from God.
Let us face up to issues humbly and honestly as our great Master, Christ Jesus, did. He acknowledged that it was the Father, divine Mind, who provided the intelligence by which he acted, the spiritual power he reflected in his successful healing and redemptive ministry. For example, he said (John 5:19), "The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise."
So we see that neither God nor man exists alone. Each is indispensable to the other. No Father, no son—no son, no Father: but God is Father, and man, His perfect spiritual idea, is son. God and man, Father and son, are coexistent in Truth and in Love. Knowing these truths, we may adapt them to meet the human need, whether the need be the emancipation of mortals from false appetites and passions, from unjust human opinions and decisions, or from biased creeds and dogmas.
