A hike through ‘The Narrows’ and a widening view

Tracy Colerider-Krugh

It’s encouraging to know that a recognition of all that is spiritually real brings situations into view in their true light.

I love how this concept is explained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: “The realization that all inharmony is unreal brings objects and thoughts into human view in their true light, and presents them as beautiful and immortal. Harmony in man is as real and immortal as in music. Discord is unreal and mortal” (p. 276).

It’s easy to feel confident in the reality of God’s harmony when experiences go smoothly or as expected, but how can we see the wider view—the spiritual view—when our focus becomes narrowed with hurt feelings, frustration, or pain? What has helped me is a growing understanding that the Christ is constantly communicating Truth to our consciousness to save us from discordant disruptions to our peace. It heals, redeems, and saves us as we understand and delight in its tender messages.
