The Ark of Safety

Alan A. Aylwin

Where is the place of safety from accidents? Is it a materially contrived location or thing, or is it a higher sense of man's identity as a child of God, divine Love?

In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures Mrs. Eddy states categorically, "Accidents are unknown to God, or immortal Mind, and we must leave the mortal basis of belief and unite with the one Mind, in order to change the notion of chance to the proper sense of God's unerring direction and thus bring out harmony."^{Science and Health, p. 424;}

One must surrender a material sense of himself and of his environment if he would prove his birthright of unalterable security. He must begin to understand the mesmerically illusive nature of material existence, and from this premise logically reason that because accidents are but a phase of this mental mirage, they too are illusions of the carnal mind. Therefore they can be eliminated from one's experience as he learns the real nature of man and his indestructible existence in and of the one Mind.
