TEMPTATION TO THE ADVANCED INDIVIDUAL – 6
The healer does not discourage the thought by trying to make that appear first, which is not the beginning but the end of the desired result. The full consummation of Life, Truth, and Love is not reached at once but through the footsteps, as did the apostle. When we have reached divine understanding through these footsteps, we shall then know “the Way, the Truth and the Life.” Then we shall find ourselves the image and likeness of divine Love — the child of God, the offspring of Spirit — never born of the flesh nor of the will of man, but coexistent with the eternal and infinite God. Mary Baker Eddy (Carpenter, Gilbert, Essays on Christian Science, p.26)
