If so, will I expect the light of Truth to be ushered in with lightning flashes and thundering voices from above? Or can I recognize the Comforter speaking to me, softly, through each small-but-eventful spiritual discovery, through the firm-but-gentle "chastisements of Love," Science and Health, p. 323. The full sentence reads, "Through the wholesome chastisements of Love, we are helped onward in the march towards righteousness, peace, and purity, which are the landmarks of Science." to use Mrs. Eddy's words, prodding me upward?
