“’Down the road a way in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha, ‘Gazelle’ in our language. She was well-known for doing good and helping out. During the time Peter was in the area she became sick and died. Her friends prepared her body for burial and put her in a cool room. … They showed Peter pieces of clothing the Gazelle had made while she was with them. Peter put the widows all out of the room. He knelt and prayed. Then he spoke directly to the body: ‘Tabitha, get up.’ She opened her eyes. When she saw Peter, she sat up. He took her hand and helped her up. Then he called in the believers and widows, and presented her to them alive.”

Eddy: “The admission to one’s self that man is God’s own likeness sets man free to master the infinite idea.  This conviction shuts the door on death, and opens it wide towards immortality.”

We obtain from LIFE-SPIRIT a healthy, vigorous, fruitful, bountiful, and joyous life-energy.  PRINCIPLE-LIFE holds our divine essence outside of time, birth, sickness, failure and death.  Eternal TRUTH commands and capacitates us to rise out of the confines of material difficulties.  SPIRIT has fastened the Christ-spirit to us and we can employ it to express more life, health, accomplishment and freedom. 

We too can feel the assurance that in expressing LIFE-TRUTH we are raising ourselves and humanity from the sepulcher of mortality.  Knowing and feeling the energy of LIFE obliterates aging, decay and death. 

Our expression of LIFE-MIND’s resplendency enlightens the world.  It heals us and others in an effortless way. 

When we are wrestling long and hard with illnesses, sins, betrayals, disappointments, losses and failures, we can remind ourselves that LIFE’s perfection undergirds our very being.  One fresh insight of our spiritual unity with SOUL, one strong conviction of ever-present GOOD-GOD can wash away all our troubles.  Right now and always our spiritual essence constitutes SPIRIT-LIFE’s celestial, immaculate, eternal opus.  This is our uncompromised reality.  

The metaphysical interpretation of biblical stories and parables reveals TRUTH’s universal and timeless laws of health, love, peace, and bounty.  Metaphysical insights represent a spiritual salve which heals humanity.  They are the biblical, healing “leaves” for all people.  They heal individuals, families, societies and nations.

Divine insights promulgate intelligence, health and power.  Every man, woman, and child throughout the world is armed with Christ-sense.  It is imbedded in their actual, incorporeal essence. 

No one is too old or not old enough, too clever or not clever enough, too intellectual or not learned enough, too righteous or not righteous enough, to manifest LIFE-power.  But one does need an open and generous mind.  Then we can know LIFE exempt from materiality, feel LOVE without limits, and experience the rivers of SPIRIT’s blessings. 

Although SPIRIT-TRUTH is everyone’s heritage, to live it successfully demands honest-self-analysis, correction, persistence and consecration.  Self-examination and humility uncover hidden sins, and spiritual correction releases our celestial wholeness.

Many sincere followers of Christ have been healed of longstanding physical difficulties when they released erroneous patterns of thinking. Willfulness, pride, criticism, lust, resentment, envy, deceit, and revenge are some of them.  But they all vanish when TRUTH lights our thought. 

Material confusions/sins are eradicated by MIND’s continual revelations to every receptive consciousness.  LOVE-given insights and the transformations they produce solve family problems, meet professional challenges, heal fissures within organizations, and resolve community and world crises.  

LIFE’s excellence is our immortal, spiritual reality. The abundant flows of goodness from superlative LIFE-LOVE magnify health, resources and solutions for everyone.
