Meeting the claim of "nothing happening"

GEOFFREY J. BARRATT

This is the absolute truth of existence: Man and the universe are even now manifested as the effect necessary for the full being of the one cause—eternal Principle. All that needs to happen, then, has already happened—is always happening, outside time and in eternity. Being is endless unfoldment.

But to human sense, always incompletely seeing the perfect creation of God (if at all), there's always something that has yet to happen. We catch ourselves saying, "I've prayed, turned to divine Truth, denied erroneous beliefs about God and man." Then adding wistfully, "But nothing's happened." Christian Science leads our limited sense of things to yield to spiritual vision and so see what God has already done.
