Our Safety

EMMA C. SHIPMAN

To achieve safety, one needs a definite concept of what safety is and how it can be found. Enlighteningly does our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, write in "Unity of Good" (p. 57), "Man's refuge is in spirituality, 'under the shadow of the Almighty.'"

God, the Almighty, being Spirit, how futile would be the attempt to gain safety in any other way than by an increase in spirituality; for spirituality alone will give access to "the secret place of the most High," in which perfect security ever awaits us.

It is as impossible to know or develop spirituality through the physical senses as it is to conceive of God through physical sense. Spirituality has nothing to do with any form of spiritualism. The latter emanates from the carnal mind; the former from the Mind which is God. Spirituality has no alliance with sentimentality. There is nothing vague or impracticable about spirituality. It is never mixed with daydreaming or confusion of thought.
