Model city?

FEROL AUSTEN

The city.

So often we speak of it in polarized groups, as if it were some wild beast that needed taming—or as if we needed taming in order to live there. Instead of analyzing it, perhaps we should learn to love the city and see in it the demonstration, not of the lowest human denominators, but of the divine attributes of God. A city has to be run in an orderly fashion, and the opportunities to express Love, Truth, and Principle—the government of God—are countless.

What is the "city" we actually dwell in? A teeming metropolies? An industrial town? A hamlet? More important, what is our spiritual abode? If we realize our inseparable unity with God and are striving to make sure that our thoughts and behavior emanate from and reflect divine Mind, then the blessedness we abide in mentally will be evidenced to some degree in any place where we may be.
