Healing through the light of Truth

HAZEL TERESA COOK

Sunlight brings cheer to those bathed in its brilliance and beauty. Christian Science uses the sun to symbolize God. We read: "Sun. The symbol of Soul governing man,—of Truth, Life, and Love." Science and Health, p. 595; Mrs. Eddy gives us this definition in Science and Health.

She also states, "Christian Science brings to the body the sunlight of Truth, which invigorates and purifies." Then she further describes the effects of Truth: "Christian Science acts as an alterative, neutralizing error with Truth. It changes the secretions, expels humors, dissolves tumors, relaxes rigid muscles, restores carious bones to soundness. The effect of this Science is to stir the human mind to a change of base, on which it may yield to the harmony of the divine Mind." ibid., p. 162; Truth also restores harmony in human relationship, business, and financial problems— in all forms of human discord.

One morning about dawn I was praying. As I sat facing the window my attention was drawn to the sky. Several dark clouds were gathering; from all appearances we were going to have a very dreary day. As I watched the gathering clouds I was reminded of the little errors that sometimes gather in thought unnoticed, a few at a time, until consciousness becomes so overclouded that the sunlight of Truth seems completely hidden.
