Seeing Without Glasses

DAVID C. KENNEDY

It is commonly believed that we have little or no control over our sight—that matter does the seeing for us, and consequently the condition of our sight is determined by the condition of matter. That is untrue.

For matter to see, matter of itself would have to possess life and intelligence. But Christ Jesus proved that life and intelligence are entirely separate from matter, therefore forever untouched by what seem to be laws of physicality. He healed the sick and restored lost faculties—including sight—annulling so-called material law and showing what God has from eternity bestowed on man: indestructible perfection.

Then what is matter? Though appearing to be a solid condition, it is actually a mental state. Mortal mind is a label for the supposed mentality that views being materially, that holds all theories— beliefs—that would contradict and invert spiritual reality. Human experience, unenlightened by spiritual understanding, is the acting out of this material, inverted view. But spiritual understanding reveals the existence of one Mind, God, and one creation, the perfect, spiritual manifestation of Mind.
