It might seem fun to have two people who like you, but for this author, it meant feeling stuck in the middle and afraid that someone was going to get hurt. A simple idea from Christian Science Sunday School helped her find her footing.
Illness is a temporal belief of mortal mind—a supposed mentality opposed to God, good—so its sensations can be faced fearlessly and neutralized with spiritual truth.
It is Christ, Truth, that enables us to see God’s creation—perfect and complete—right where a discordant mortal seems to be, and when we do, it invariably has a healing impact.
It was hard to let go of the hurt and anger this author felt after another girl stole her best friend. But as she studied Christian Science, she realized that not only could she be healed of these feelings, but she wanted to be.
I needed to turn away from a sense of myself as a mortal having too much to do and recognize my true identity as a beloved, cared-for child of God, an ever-present help.
Although this situation might have been labeled a “personality conflict,” it was clear to me in that moment that there was no such thing as an “individuality conflict,” since our spiritual individuality—which is divine Love-given to everyone, including my coworker and me—is never less than Love’s reflection.
