Hidden secrets

GLADYS C. GIRARD

Sometimes the many things deeply hidden in human consciousness are seemingly unknown to the individual. Yet many of our difficulties and illnesses appear to stem from these buried beliefs and fears.

In the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, a paragraph that is particularly relevant to this subject invites earnest attention. The marginal heading for that paragraph is "Buried secrets." This awakening passage states, "Do not suppose that any mental concept is gone because you do not think of it." Science and Health, p. 87.

The surface thinking of an individual can be very apparent both to himself and others. But what about these hidden thoughts? The criticisms. The doubts. The blaming. The excusing of self. Such oftentimes become so habitual that they are allowed to work in thought practically unrecognized.
