A time for transformation
THERE are many ways to begin a commentary against terrorism, but only one way to end it — that is in an effort for resolution and healing.
The fire and dust of the destruction we have witnessed as a nation and world spring out of the fire and dust of dementia. Appalled and angry, we go to our knees. And then we pray to find, in this sacred and searching moment, the most spiritually refined measure of right needed to heal our grief and guide our justice.
It is a time for transformation. An unusual range of disturbances, across a wide spectrum, have surfaced over the past months. Their only linkage is that they are evil and wrong — from shark attacks to worldwide economic stress, to persecution conflict and revenge vented upon affront to suicide bombings, this evil, and the evil mentality that incites it, must be put down. The resilience and indomitable response of the people of the United States—and the support from people all corners of the world—show the inevitability of the triumph of good. Mary Baker Eddy, who established this magazine to watch over the spiritual progress of mankind. wrote: "God is not the creator of an evil mind. Indeed, evil is not Mind. We must learn that evil is the awful deception and unreality of existence. Evil is not supreme; good is not helpless..." (Science and Health with key to the Scriptures, p.207).
