There are times when one feels imprisoned in a dark place surrounded by high, solid walls. This is never true. A world of light was revealed to mankind with the advent of the Master, Christ Jesus, and the dawning of the Comforter he promised: divine Science.
The reality of being, presented to all mankind through the Christ, Truth, has opened the prison doors of a mortal sense of man. Mrs. Eddy tells us in Science and Health, "Inharmonious beliefs, which rob Mind, calling it matter, and deify their own notions, imprison themselves in what they create."Science and Health, p. 251;
Mortality—the word for all discord, disease, friction, heaviness, lack, and misery in the world—is something one imprisons himself in. We afflict ourselves unknowingly. We impose upon ourselves all the terror and misery that seem to be put upon us. How? By believing man is mortal instead of the son of God, who is Life itself, the great I am. By believing the distorted pictures presented to us by the material senses.
