GRAVITATING GODWARD

Robert Ellis Key

God controls every function of the real man. There is only one power, the power of good, felt through the laws of God and forever expressed by God's image and likeness, man. A mortal, finite sense of mind is not capable of controlling man, whose origin, basis, and development are found in Mind, God.

A spiritual idea abides in the realm of Spirit. It is held there by the all-embracing law of spiritual attraction. Man cannot gravitate away from Spirit, but must move in obedience to Mind and be subject to its unerring control and direction.

A mortal believes in earthward gravitation, and thus in his belief he is subject to fall, decay, decrepitude, and death. But this is not true of man made in God's likeness. Which definition of man do we accept: that of the falling, erring, and temporal, or the immortal, spiritual, and eternal? Let us begin with the spiritual idea and turn from the fable of a mortal, who is fettered to earth by the beliefs of time, finiteness, and limitation.
