Cool It!

Alan A. Aylwin

When someone becomes angry, the modern rejoinder is, Cool it!

However, under intense provocation this isn't always easy. Thought may be ablaze, and self-control about to go out the window. What do we do?

If we are students of Christian Science, and in the heat of the moment have temporarily lost sight of its teachings, we need to pull ourselves up short and vigorously reject the sensation of anger as a mesmeric illusion. We should remember that spiritual man is the reflected image of God, the infinitely loving divine Mind, and because of this our real selfhood has no consciousness or will apart from this Mind.
