The True Busines of Living
So We have seen that the business
OF living is the business of expressing
God OF rejecting Him in every
thought. in every deed. In right
! living We express the true concept
OF being. True being is oneness with
| God that is. constant aWareneSS
of divine Minds presence expressing
itself as our true, real, and only
| SelfhOOd.
Are you aware OF your true being
all OF the time, u do You part Of the
time allow thought to wander with
| out purpose or direction? What is
the remedy tor this state of thought?
To pray without ceasing" that is
| the only remedy. We pray without
ceasing when our thought Is lined
| up with Truth. when We express ideas
spiritual ideas constantly, unVary-
mgly, certainly.
Easier said than done. you say?
Well, let us see about that. As We
walk down the street We look into
the faces OF those we pass. Often
| u. in,
OF thought which need TO be handled
for the world at large worry, for
instance, fear unhapplneSS- 50 that
going forth on an errand becomes a
constant adventure and opportunity
for witnessing to the truth. There Is
only one claim of mortal mind. Every
time we clearly see the nOthlngneSS
OF specific mortal belief We are
helping to destroy il for the whole
world, So. instead OF allowing idle
thought to beCl0ud our day, we are
thinking constructiVely, helpfully
purpOSetully are praying unceaS-
ingly tor our own good and that OF
many others. This. of course, does
not mean working for, treating, or
praying directly for those who have
not asked for help. but it constitutes
a constant correction of our own
thought. an alert refusal to allow a
false sense of another to rob us of our
true SENSE of ourselves This alert
ness is true correction, the
prayer which puritieS thought and
eleVattS character.
IL we are to have more abundant

{ more than political changes to give il
