A SPIRITUAL EQUATION |
by Gail Gupton |
Imagine yourself in a mathematics
class. The teacher has given you a problem. You hand in your solution only to discover
it's the wrong answer. Your understanding of the principle of mathematics was obviously
not sufficient to bring about the true and only answer to the problem.
How many "untrue" answers would one have to turn in to make the answer right?
How many negative solutions to the problem could one come up with? If one could come up
with a million negative answers, they still would not be true. There is only one true
answer to the math problem. Two and two will always be four, no matter how many wrong
answers one comes up with.
This is a spiritual principle. One that no human law can break. It has remained a
spiritual principle since the beginning of time, if there ever was such a thing. Human
beings have created their own set of "rules" which says we have to be ill, we
have to suffer poverty, we have to experience stress and confusion in our lives. One tries
many "remedies' and still the conditions persist. These equate to the million wrong
answers to one math problem.
If one is experiencing a "problem" - some type of negative condition or
situation, is it because he/she hasn't yet perceived the understanding of the truth? Just
as one who lacks the understanding of the principle of mathematics, is one who's
experiencing a negative in this world lacking an understanding of the principle of life?
We all know someone, perhaps ourselves, who swear up and down that a negative situation is
real. Using our senses, we "feel" it, "see" it, "hear" it.
But when the person handed in the wrong math answer, didn't he/she feel it was indeed
true?
Once one discovers a condition to be negative, one should be able to relax in knowing
there is no truth in it. The problem has only one answer. There is only one Truth.
