Intruding Thoughts

BY M. J. T.

A thought came to me, while reading the editorial in our last Journal. I was interested, and read with understanding the first two pages, no outside thought interfering with what I was reading. So far, so good. Then, I found far-away thoughts intruding as I still kept reading the third page. I read a paragraph over and over to get its full meaning, before I recognized the trouble. These intruding material thoughts were trying to rule out the real good I was getting, by crowding in their self-assertion.

When I understood the illusion, or saw it as illusion, it was gone; and, peace restored, I could read and understand again. It taught me a lesson. We cannot entertain two opposite thoughts, at the same time, with good results.

We entertain visitors, many times, of conflicting thought, and often try to make harmony between them. With Good and evil we cannot do this.
