Holiday Loneliness and Depression Dissolved

I had a few days over Christmas where I felt assailed by sadness and was craving company; this was unusual for me, as I am fine with spending Christmas on my own. I therefore quickly understood these feelings were not my own, but the strong emotions persisted, so I studied Plainfield’s literature to stay surrounded in Spirit.

It seemed too corny to me when like some Dickens’ tale, ghosts of the past were now trying to create angst over past events I wasn’t even concerned about. This was obviously an attack on my Christ which was trying to cobble together some distant memories and then projecting emotion and willpower to suggest despair as if these were my own thoughts and feelings.

I was reminded of Herbert Eustace’s article “How Does Malicious Mind Operate?” which, in essence, says that these lies need an honest conviction on the part of the believer for those lies to take effect; — to fool him into internalising these conditions as though they belong to him and are a natural part of his identity.

This is where I finally closed the door to the five senses, trying to suggest disharmony. From that moment on, I dismissed these suggestions and lies when they arose as Godless, and thus unreal. I recovered my lightness and joyousness, and by then watching a funny movie had me dispelling the last remaining dregs of any silly morbid feelings.

In Truth, there is no evil, no lie, and no victim of a lie, for God, Good is All-in-all and evil is impersonal. Much love to all our angel practitioners, to Plainfield for spreading the gospel, and Mary Baker Eddy for restoring Christ Jesus’ healing methods to all mankind
