Excerpts \u00a0“from science & religion to God”<\/a><\/p>\n

Footsteps of Truth<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is Truth? The efforts of any <\/span>ology<\/span> to answer this question are vain. <\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding comes through spiritual logic and revelation. Following the signposts of divine law, we comprehend the Truth that is changing the world for the better. In this path we find progress attended by life and peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

We do not need to learn our life lessons the hard way. We can stop stumbling around in drunkenness. We can stop being consumed by disease. We can stop being shocked at the evil in the world and gain an understanding that leads to productive improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

This metaphysical system of healing through truth relinquishes the errors of self-serving obsessions, misleading appetites, hatred, fear, lust, superstition, etc. The progression makes a new creation.<\/span><\/span> The way to uncover and abandon error is to saturate the mind with floodtides of Truth and Love.<\/span><\/p>\n

The opposite of Truth is error; however<\/span>,<\/span> knowledge of error and its operations must precede the understanding of the Truth that destroys error. Step by step we learn error is that which opposes divine Spirit and our spirituality.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we discover there is one Mind, the divine law of loving our neighbor as ourselves is unfolded. We experience a relationship with all the attributes of Truth and Love, including wisdom. We become conscious of the existence of Spirit as the source of supply. <\/span><\/p>\n

If Spirit created sickness and disorder, then it would be wrong or\u00a0<\/span>impossible for human beings to try and remove them. Sickness and death are awful deceptions of existence, not put forth by Truth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The brain, nerves, hormones, and stomach can\u2019t talk on their own. They act because of mind. Sensations of the body are sensations of the human mind. Through Truth you discover your ability to embrace your body and outline it with thoughts of health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us prepare for the supremacy of Spirit\u2014the government and law of universal harmony, which cannot be lost or remain forever unseen.<\/span><\/p>\n

All the faculties of Mind are intact. No matter where we are, we can use our spiritual senses to commune with God and be governed by Love.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be controlled by divine Mind is not to be controlled by hypnotism, human cultures, theories, crime, drugs, or fantasies. We learn to utilize spiritual sense\u2014the constant conscious capacity to understand the all-acting infinite Spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cruel narcissistic tendencies inherent in human mind are always germinating new forms of tyranny <\/span>and must be rooted out through the action of the divine Mind. To rid the world of terrorists is difficult, but to destroy mental terrorism is even more difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n

Healing systems must have spirituality in order to be useful. Medicines and religions dictated by money, status-quo, inequality, rituals, and regulations only imitate the old-time opposition that upset Jesus two thousand years ago. \u201cSo, he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coin of the money changers and overturned their\u00a0<\/span>tables.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

Let Truth regenerate the fleshly mind and feed thought with the bread of Life. Food should not be given more power than God. The only diet that works is the diet that follows a mental plan involving honesty, wisdom, hard work, and balance. \u201cThis I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
