it's allright to cry - revisited

There are times when we need to do some mental washing - a type of clearing out cobwebs in thought.

Sometimes our deepest darkest fears that we hide, creep into thought and are acted out in ways we never expected it or wanted it to.

Fear of death, past abuse, an act we are ashamed about - whatever it is, doesn't get dealt with until we are faced with some crisis.

But we can be assured that even now, "Now is the accepted time" says the Bible. Now. We are standing in now. Now is the time that we can experience redemption and new birth.

"It's all right to cry" starts a poem.

Tears, water, beautiful imagery of washing away impurities. Crying breaks through a silent barrier and releases the dam of emotion. Where these waters wash away impurities, God's pure love rushes in, filling thought with new fresh images of divine Love.

Joy comes with the feeling of being overwhelmed with a saturating purity - and to find that purity is your primitive nature: untouched, unspoiled, eternally flowing. This has the double impact of not only restoring identity, but giving you increased wisdom. Wisdom, aged with reason and experience, awakens you to "the looms of crime, hidden in the dark recesses of mortal thought.... weaving webs more complicated and subtle. "

Mary Baker Eddy goes on to say "When mortal man blends his thoughts of existence with the spiritual and works only as God works, he will no longer grope in the dark and cling to earth because he has not tasted heaven. Carnal beliefs defraud us. They make man an involuntary hypocrite,--producing evil when he would create good, forming deformity when he would outline grace and beauty, injuring those whom he would bless. He becomes a general mis-creator, who believes he is a semi-god."

Understanding this helps to put carnal beliefs outside of ourselves. To look at it and view it as an enigma. This collection of the dark images of mortal thought, having no spiritual foundation ( thus no firm basis for reality) "flee before the light of Truth."

The power of God as All-in-all thunders. "The inaudible voice of Truth is, to the human mind, 'as when a lion roareth.' It is heard in the desert and in dark places of fear. It arouses the 'seven thunders' of evil, and stirs their latent forces to utter the full diapason of secret tones. Then is the power of Truth demonstrated,--made manifest in the destruction of error. " Error, carnal beliefs self-destruct. Having no power to determine who we are, what we lack or the burden we carry, it dissolves into its native nothingness.

The path out of the nightmare of abuse is set. "Though the way is dark in mortal sense, divine Life and Love illumine it, destroy the unrest of mortal thought, the fear of death, and the supposed reality of error. Christian Science, contradicting sense, maketh the valley to bud and blossom as the rose." Truth shines forth. We know the Truth and it is the Truth that does the work - the Truth that makes us free.

The promise of healing is also the premise that we start with. "In Science man is the offspring of Spirit. The beautiful, good, and pure constitute his ancestry. His origin is not, like that of mortals, in brute instinct, nor does he pass through material conditions prior to reaching intelligence. Spirit is his primitive and ultimate source of being; God is his Father, and Life is the law of his being."

Joy, a deep and abiding joy is what we start with, work with and end with. Joy is the understanding of the ultimate triumph of life.
