Instant replay— through the lens of Spirit

JOHN LEWIS SELOVER

Anyone who has watched an athletic contest on television, is probably familiar with the technique of instant replay. Live action on the playing field is recorded on videotape and is replayed for the TV audience to review a significant event in the game.

One day while rock scrambling in California's Sierra Nevada, I took a minor fall and badly wrenched my ankle. It occurred to me to review mentally my attempt to climb the rock through a spiritual instant replay. Not to relive the accident in slow motion but rather to see the true facts of my being as a safe, secure idea of God—to stop the pain and heal the weakened ankle.
