Two people attend an event where the word of Truth is spoken with inspiration and conviction. One person is deeply moved by what he hears. His life changes radically as the spiritual ideas fill his consciousness. He cannot speak for the peace and holiness that he feels.
The other person shrugs. "Well, that was really very beautiful, but of course I've heard it all before. Maybe it was the speaker's voice, or dress, or what I had for dinner, but I really don't think the message came across."
These two could have been listening to Christ Jesus on the shore of Lake Galilee. Or perhaps they had attended a Christian Science lecture in a stone and glass church. Both listeners could have been entirely new to scientific Christianity or they could have been longtime disciples of it. All, whether experienced disciples or newcomers, are invited to the fountain of truth, but one individual drinks deeply, while another may merely appreciate the sparkle of the water.
