Day 136: Self-abnegation

264:20-266:19

Spiritual living and blessedness are the only evidences, by which we can recognize true existence and feel the unspeakable peace which comes from an all-absorbing spiritual love.

Mortals must gravitate Godward, their affections and aims grow spiritual,--they must near the broader interpretations of being, and gain some proper sense of the infinite,--in order that sin and mortality may be put off.

Day 100: Human will and opinion

192:4-194:5

This chapter’s title is Physiology, but I always just think of it as the body. The chapter flows from the body –> materiality –> human thought –> human will\opinion.

In Science, you can have no power opposed to God, and the physical senses must give up their false testimony.

Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed love, receives directly the divine power.

Day 304: Healed while helping another

612:3-614:19

The testimony in this reading is about a mother looking for a cure for her son. She began reading the book and soon her son was healed. But not just her son. She was healed as well of issues she hadn’t been praying about.

She wanted to have a better spiritual understanding of her son. But that spiritual understanding applied to her as well. She must have understood this, even if she wasn’t consciously aware of it .
