Transportation

W. NORMAN COOPER

To our Master, Christ Jesus, the problem of transportation presented merely an opportunity to demonstrate his eternal oneness with his Father, divine Mind. He recognized that man's sole purpose is to reflect Mind, and knew that the material limitation of time or distance, and even his belief of a material body, could not hinder him in carrying out his divine commission.

John tells us in his Gospel that on one occasion, when the Master's disciples were going by ship toward Capernaum, "the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew" (John 6:18). But the belief of time, the sense of separation, or the difficulty of transportation did not prevent Jesus from helping his students at this time of need. For Jesus came "walking on the sea;" and the Gospel writer adds that "immediately the ship was at the land whither they went."

To Jesus' marvelous understanding transportation was not a complicated problem. He understood, as we should understand, that man is not a mortal with a material body limited by physicality. Rather is man an immortal idea, created in the image and likeness of divine Spirit. An understanding of one's self as purely spiritual enables one to put off the fetters of human limitation and accept the freedom of spiritual being just at hand.
