We must be
"a doorkeeper in the house of [our] God... Ps. 84: 10.
"Stand porter at the door of thought." Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 392.
But, standing where?
Inside, or out?
In peace, or in conflict?
In Science, or in suffering?
Outside: enduring the buffetings of mortal sense;
being pelted constantly with the suggestions of
a self-hood, existence, and mind apart or disconnected from
our omnipresent and omnipotent God, good.
