Centuries ago, the divine Mind, God, told Ezekiel that the depressing proverb was to cease which said, "The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth" (12:22). In its place was to be a new proverb, "The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision."
Too often people groan over the absence of hoped-for change and sigh over visions not proved true. So we can all profit by the new proverb; it is a call for a search for the good, for the aroused spiritual perception that sees daylight at hand, and gathers in "the effect of every vision."
One thing is quite clear when one compares the last hundred years with the centuries that preceded them. Something new has entered—a new stimulus, a vast expressiveness, an irrepressible expansiveness. These last hundred years show the effects of new vision. What was the point of its entry?
