["Fluxation"—The Christian Science Monitor, Boston, U.S.A., Oct. 30, 1920]

The dictionary definition of the word "fluxation" is: "The act of flowing or passing away." The scientific or real meaning of the word is given in the Revelation of John where we read, "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new." Throughout all the activities of the world of to-day, in religion, in politics, in labor, in society, fluxation is the term which can most truly be applied. Then as revelation is the perception of eternal Truth, it must be God who is making all things new.

One must not, however, get confused by this picture from Revelation, which is but one instance of the imagery of Eastern figurative language. God is not a superman looking on at a material world of mortals, and improving His own creation by making all things new. God is divine Mind, and with Mind the process of making new is a purely mental process through which minds many are expelled before the understanding of the omnipresence of the one Mind.
