Scientific Method of Adjustment

HERBERT W. COCHRAN

Because human existence is a state of flux, human beings are constantly undergoing adjustment to new friends, new work, new environment, and different conditions of living. He who can adjust himself easily to the changing conditions of the material sense of existence, especially without a regret for the past or a dread of the future, is indeed wise.

From Christian Science one quickly learns that real being is changeless and permanent. One recognizes and admits that nothing in the divine kingdom needs improvement, revision, or adjustment. The real individuality of man, so far above that which is discerned by the physical senses, is spiritual and forever held in the rhythmic order of harmony and perfection. The divine Mind knows its own perfection, and it knows no opposition to infinite being. God's man, then, Mind's reflection, is not confronted with difficulty, perplexity, or embarrassment. He is never out of adjustment with divine facts and the true harmony of being.

Real consciousness, continuously aware of concord in the least detail of existence, has no sense of departed joy or impending doom, a miserable past or a not yet attained heaven, a present dominated by troubled memories or imminent calamity. To divine Truth and its likeness there never has been any sense of discouragement or disturbance.
