Keeping Good in Sight

MARGARET EILEEN MOORE

Have you ever looked straight at an object and not seen it? I have. When I have been looking for something, I have sometimes overlooked it, gone away, returned, then looked again, only to see it where I had already looked. This seems to indicate that it takes more than the organic eye actually to see. But there is more to this enigma.

Christian Science shows that what we think we see as a material object is really a mental concept. Seeing is, in fact, wholly mental. Mrs. Eddy writes, "Mortal mind sees what it believes as certainly as it believes what it sees." Science and Health, p. 86;

The divine Mind, on the other hand, sees only what it knows— the expression of its own infinite self-knowledge. This expression is spiritual man and the spiritual universe. Spiritually to discern man and the universe, therefore, is to have an outlook derived from God, divine Mind, who "saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." Gen. 1:31; Clearly, then, to see truly we need the true concept. Truth and Love give the true concept.
