Let’s begin to take a closer look at the practical application of Knowing
Respect and therefore welcoming Universal Law in our Lives.
For example, we take disease and vulnerability to disease as a normal
experience of life. Yet in Light of our understanding of Respect, we now
know that intrusion into our body and manipulation of our senses is a
transgression of Life / Universal Law. Therefore, disease is unnatural and
there is no way it can have any power over Life – unless that is, we give it
power – (something the medical establishment is so good at
doing).
Another deception we take for granted upon Earth is the existence of biting and
blood sucking insects many of which are also carriers of disease (or deception
/ false information). Yet in Light of our understanding of Respect, we know
that piercing, harming, wounding, stealing, and so on are a transgression of
Life / Universal Law. Therefore, biting insects such as lice, ticks,
mosquitoes, fleas, and so on are unnatural and do not have any power over Life
– unless that is, we give it to them and accept them in our environment.
Another deception we take for granted on Earth is that varmints such mice, or
insects such as cockroaches, or mold and fungus can contaminate our
dwelling places and food at will. In the same category we also take for
granted that animals such as deer or rabbits can decimate gardens, or that
predatory animals can kill livestock and even People. Yet in Light
of our understanding of Respect, we know that intrusion, contamination, harm,
hunger, death, thievery, and so on are all a transgression of Life / Universal
Law. Therefore, this kind of behavior and activity is unnatural and cannot have
any power over Life – unless that is, we give it power and accept their
presence in our environment.
Are you beginning to get the picture? Right here, right now, on this very Earth
you walk upon, you have the Right and the capacity to experience Life free of
disease, pests, and pestilence. All it takes is a slight shift in
perception and then doing that which supports and strengthens you in
Truth.
As Mary Baker Eddy wrote in her book "Science and Health with key to the
Scripture":
Never fear the mental malpractitioner, the mental assassin, who, in attempting to rule mankind, tramples upon the Divine Principle of metaphysics, for God [1] is the only power.
Notes:
[1] Note that Mary Baker Eddy Properly defines her understanding of God as "Divine Principle, Life, Truth, Love, Soul, Spirit, Mind."
