To many of us, there is a sameness to human life. Not necessarily monotony or boredom, but a sameness in things and thoughts. From the deepest cave to the highest space orbit, people's thoughts tend to move within rigid convictions about matter and mortal existence as ultimate reality.
Even so, there are winds of change. A divine force is altering human convictions from a material to a spiritual basis. This change might be likened to the shift of tectonic plates beneath the earth's surface. The force causing the change in human thought is ever-present, pure Truth—God Himself. The irresistible influence of Truth is revealing to human consciousness that man is not material but is the spiritual image and likeness of the one perfect God. And this is transforming human experience. As Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, "Eternal Truth is changing the universe." Science and Health, p. 255.
Some people, sensing this shift, may be puzzled by it and ask, as Pilate asked Christ Jesus, "What is truth?" John 18:38. They don't know what the change means or where it comes from or why they feel it. Perhaps these words of Jesus describe their response: "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth." John 3:8.
