Healing light

From the April 2012 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Recently, I awakened one bright morning with the first chapter of Genesis vividly in thought. I saw the infinite Creator, God, as Light, or infinite Mind, presenting His infinite universe and beholding all as “very good” (see verse 31). The radiance of this view embraced me as newness of Life. 

I began to translate all that seemed to be material—person, place, or thing—back into the vision of perfect goodness that God was beholding. I endeavored to include everyone and everything, as the reflection of God’s seeing all as perfect. I also embraced my own being as the reflection of the infinite Mind, the Light of the world. In that glorious beholding of the infinite One, there was no Adam, no Satan, no tree in the garden, no talking serpent, no beguiled Eve. It was all God beholding His truth, and it was all good. 

This brought a wonderful sense of peace, as I continued to stay with this revelation throughout the day. It was a taste of heaven—and it was something entirely within. I had let go of what the human mind beholds—with all its suppositions and beliefs.
