Reality is Power

Violet Ker Seymer

On page 353 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy writes, "Perfection underlies reality." The verity of being is the harmony of being, and by means of Christian Science we can grasp this verity and experience this harmony. Throughout the world-wide Field of Christian Science there is mounting evidence of the reality and power of life and health made available to humanity through the understanding of spiritual being.

Yet too often the effort of the student centers on fathoming the unreality of evil rather than on grasping with rejoicing the reality of good. And because this effort is mainly negative, it is not fully successful. To offset this, one should continually recall, and suitably recount, cases of healing where sin has yielded to right-mindedness, sickness to health, sorrow to comfort, and lack to abundance. Recognition of these examples of healing, regardless of who experiences the healings, invigorates the faith of those who are moving on to victory through the smoke of battle. The more readily such as these dwell upon the reality and power of good, the more readily do they grasp and prove the nothingness of the discord which seems to confront them. On the rock of spiritual understanding there is secure foothold for all.
