Wisdom at Your Fingertips
“Let not my world obscure the sight of Christ.” What does the name “Christ” symbolize? It is the pattern of complete alignment with the qualities of the creative forces in expression.

“I am under no laws but God’s.“ What are God’s laws, you would no doubt want to know. And rightly so. If you are not subject to any of the commonly known and practiced laws of society, health, economics, and so forth, what are the laws that do apply to you? Think of a parent
