Fact or Fantasy?

WAYNE D. TODHUNTER

A man who liked to watch parades always took an orange crate along. When his view of the parade became obstructed, he simply stood on the crate and saw everything that was going on.

Spiritual truth works in our lives like that man's orange crate. It lifts us higher. But we have to be willing to use it and to depend on it.

Fear is a common obstacle for many of us. Fear of sickness, of failure, of uncertainty. A material point of view is the basis of fear, which points to our need of an "orange crate" solution—a higher view. A material starting point does not allow us a correct view of reality. It produces fantasy as opposed to fact. It produces an inaccurate and often discordant concept of creation. Creation, properly viewed, is spiritual, harmonious, and infinite.
