Out of the Fog

I read a true story about a man who was canoeing. He got into a fog and could not see where he was going. He was LOST. He didn't know where to go. The thought came to stand up. What a stupid idea to do that in a canoe. Well, he gingerly stood up and he found out that the fog layer was now below him when he was standing up. He would look out over the fog, see where he needed to go, then sit down and paddle. After a while he would have to stand up and take stock of where he was and where he was going again.

I think this of describes our situation well. We really are the child of God. That's a fact. But, we get confused and think that we are puny humans. We believe what we see and see what we believe. In that state of mind we are in a dream state, which says we are separate, vulnerable, hurt. But that's the fog. Remember, in Genesis 2, a mist came up and obscured the earth. Then all sorts of problems started. As the image and likeness of God-good we are not lost, separate, vulnerable, hurt, grieving. To get out of the dream you can feel

1. I am the spiritual child of God. That's who I really am.
2. I am not a hurt dove. Evil is not a person, place or thing. It is not any of them. It seems so real, it hurts until you can see through what it is presenting.
3. I am standing up in my canoe, getting from God and Christian Science what the landmarks of Spirit are. And, I am heading, towards Truth, which is God-good. Then, I'll relax, stand up and get my bearings again.
4. I will find peace and healing.
