Excerpts from new book, “from science & religion to God,” by Cheryl Petersen

Human thoughts have their degrees of comparison. Some are better than others. A belief in Truth is better than a belief in error. But to be grounded on rock, the belief must advance with divine logic and revelation. Spiritual progress radiates movement from intuition to hope, to faith, to understanding, to fruition, and then reality.

Angels guide. Angels surround us. Angels are pure thoughts from God.

Consider these factors:

-The temporal never touches the eternal;
-The changeable never touches the unchangeable;
-The inharmonious never touches the harmonious;
-The self-destructive never touches the self-existent.

Reproduction by Spirit’s individual ideas is but the reflection of the creative power, God.

Without the image and likeness of Mind, God would be a nonentity, Mind unexpressed. But we are Mind’s witness. We are proof of Mind, Life.

Truth has no beginning. We can hear Truth, just as prophets did, and still do, even in the middle of a fight with error. As we struggle to conquer false beliefs, we can trust the presence of angel messages to give us spiritual strength and divine power.

God will sustain us under all circumstances. When Moses was called upon to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, he despaired over making the people understand what God would reveal to him.

Moses was told by the Lord to throw down his staff. It became a serpent and Moses ran from it. Wisdom bid him return, take up the serpent and realize its alarming power was harmless.

Moses was then led to put his hand inside his cloak. When he drew it out, the hand was leprous like snow. He repeated the same simple process and when taking his hand again out from under the cloak, it was healthy. The power of Mind then became Moses’ reality and his fear diminished somewhat. Though inspired to help humanity, Moses struggled mentally. He believed his lack of eloquence would be a detriment to the mission. Therefore, God led him to recruit his brother, Aaron, a fluent speaker, for assistance.

There is no hypocrisy in Being. Integrity is imperative. Human resistance to true new ideas weakens as we give up error for Truth. Our purpose is to live and be like God, Love.
