Art Review:  Artemisia: Her Passion Was Painting Above All Else
By RODERICK CONWAY MORRIS
Artemisia Gentileschi suffered greatly in her life -- after being raped she endured a savage trial that included torture to test her testimony -- but she survived to became a force in the art world.
Richly endowed by SOUL.





Genesis 1:27, 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)


27So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

Eddy: “All that really exists is the divine Mind and its idea, and in this Mind the entire being is found harmonious and eternal.”

We know that there is much pain and suffering in human existence, but it is healing to understand that our incorporeal entities blossom in the harmony of SOUL.  The imperial and imperious nature of SPIRIT-GOOD comforts us and facilitates our triumphs over difficulties.  Material suffering represents a deviation of perception from the facts of SPIRIT’s preeminence and man’s spiritual wholeness.  We can overcome material troubles by synchronizing ourselves with our SOUL-mandated, spiritual might.  Our spiritual core obtains its excellence from supreme SPIRIT-GOOD.



Psalm 140:4,21st Century King James Version (KJ21)



4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man, who has purposed to overthrow my goings.

Eddy: “A wicked mortal is not the idea of God. He is little else than the expression of error.” Also, “It is our ignorance of God, the divine Principle, which produces apparent discord, and the right understanding of Him restores harmony.”

There are millions of good and evil acts committed every day throughout the world.  But these occurrences never affect our non-material identities, which live and thrive in SOUL/LOVE.  Evil thoughts/feelings are mesmeric in nature.  To annul evil we must depersonalize it in order to shatter its mesmeric hold.  Spiritual education abrogates evil’s trickeries, and gives us the ability to express GOOD/GOD. 



Psalm 119:117, 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)



117Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe, and I will have regard unto Thy statutes continually.

Eddy: “Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed love, receives directly the divine power.”

SPIRIT/SOUL and its spiritual laws are ubiquitous and ever-accessible.  When we understand this fact we can disarm hatred, malice and sickness, and enforce love, justice and health.
