Evil Revealed 250331
2 Spirit ~ Diapason of Heaven
We must declare often that Spirit is not an invisible personality inhabiting a material body. Spirit has no other meaning than God, and substance. We must declare there is only one Spirit and that is God. Spirit is my God and my God is Spirit, individual, incorporeal, immaterial. Spirit is enthroned in my consciousness. Matter and personal sense are not enthroned. We must declare these statements for ourselves in our work.
Evil ~ How to Defeat it with Spiritual Purpose & Monitoring? 250327
What is your Life's Purpose? One's life should be based on at least one important purpose. It should include blessing other people with good thought, speech & action. Money is the most deceitful, self destructive purpose anyone could conceive of.
It's beyond conception. It's beyond understanding. What one may think of as being able to be a solution to everything is self destructive, and therefore is a solution to nothing. And in fact, it even aggravates applying to the people or activities that was originally intended.
Qualities satisfy but money does not. Instead of bringing fulfillment, it blinds one. It conceals and deceives one of the purpose. Monitoring is probably the second most important term to think of in terms of fulfilling the purpose. Math is truth but deceitful purposes use figures to deceive. Focus on the activity, not any personality.

Latent Error vs Latent Abilities & Possibilities of Man 250325
This angel had in his hand "a little book," open for all to read and understand. Did this same book contain the revelation of divine Science, the "right foot" or dominant power of which was upon the sea, — upon elementary, latent error, the source of all error's visible forms? The angel's left foot was upon the earth; that is, a secondary power was exercised upon visible error and audible sin. The "still, small voice" of scientific thought reaches over continent and ocean to the globe's remotest bound. The inaudible voice of Truth is, to the human mind, "as when a lion roareth." It is heard in the desert and in dark places of fear. It arouses the "seven thunders" of evil, and stirs their latent forces to utter the full diapason of secret tones. Then is the power of Truth demonstrated, — made manifest in the destruction of error. Then will a voice from harmony cry: "Go and take the little book. . . . Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey." Mortals, obey the heavenly evangel. Take divine Science. Read this book from beginning to end. Study it, ponder it. It will be indeed sweet at its first taste, when it heals you; but murmur not over Truth, if you find its digestion bitter. When you approach nearer and nearer to this divine Principle, when you eat the divine body of this Principle, — thus partaking of the nature, or primal elements, of Truth and Love, do not be surprised nor discontented because you must share the hemlock cup and eat the bitter herbs; for the Israelites of old at the Paschal meal thus prefigured this perilous passage out of bondage into the El Dorado of faith and hope. [SH 559:1-31 by Mary Baker Eddy]

The term Science, properly understood, refers only to the laws of God and to His government of the universe, inclusive of man. From this it follows that business men and cultured scholars have found that Christian Science enhances their endurance and mental powers, enlarges their perception of character, gives them acuteness and comprehensiveness and an ability to exceed their ordinary capacity. The human mind, imbued with this spiritual understanding, becomes more elastic, is capable of greater endurance, escapes somewhat from itself, and requires less repose. A knowledge of the Science of being develops the latent abilities and possibilities of man. It extends the atmosphere of thought, giving mortals access to broader and higher realms. It raises the thinker into his native air of insight and perspicacity. An odor becomes beneficent and agreeable only in pro-portion to its escape into the surrounding atmosphere. So it is with our knowledge of Truth. If one would not quarrel with his fellow-man for waking him from a cataleptic nightmare, he shouldn't resist Truth, which banishes-yea, forever destroys with the higher testimony of Spirit - so-called evidence of matter. [SH 128:4-26 by Mary Baker Eddy]
Mary B Eddy
If mortals would keep proper ward over mortal mind, the brood of evils which infest it would be cleared out. We must begin with this so-called mind and empty it of sin and sickness, or sin and sickness will never cease. The present codes of human systems disappoint the weary searcher after a divine theology, adequate to the right education of human thought.
Sin and disease must be thought before they can be manifested. You must control evil thoughts in the first instance, or they will control you in the second. Jesus declared that to look with desire on forbidden objects was to break a moral precept. He laid great stress on the action of the human mind, unseen to the senses. Evil thoughts and aims reach no farther and do no more harm than one's belief permits.
Evil thoughts, lusts, and malicious purposes cannot go forth, like wandering pollen, from one human mind to another, finding unsuspected lodgment, if virtue and truth build a strong defense. Better suffer a doctor infected with smallpox to attend you than to be treated mentally by one who does not obey the requirements of divine Science. [SH 234:17-6 by Mary Baker Eddy]
