As a newspaper reporter, I cover stories that not only support the fact that what we physically see and hear is a subjective state of human mind, but also that people utilize this rule to free themselves of that which hinders increased wisdom, happiness, and strength.

One story was about an older gentleman who staged a one-man play depicting his life. He had little memory of his older sister, who was severely disabled and placed in a “warehouse” when she was eight-years old because at the time, in the 1950’s, that is what was done. The man never took the time to get to know his sister but he did attend her funeral forty years later and was dumbfounded to find a large crowd at the memorial service. He was poignantly astonished by the tears and comments coming from all those who grew to know and love his sister. When asked if he would like to say anything at the services end, he braved up and, with tears of sadness for missing out on what all those people did not miss out on–knowing his sister, he then thanked them for being her family.

In divine Science, the fact that beauty, or deformity is a subjective state of the human mind, and that the human mind can yield to a greater divine Mind that only knows beauty and intelligence, is a powerful tool we can wield to free ourselves of limiting perceptions.
