Whatever language mankind starts with shows that visional sense has preceded speech.

Man can throw his vision out toward damage for some neighbor and silently mentioning the damage in definite terms he will find it formulated in the experience of that neighbor. But "Add to your strength, knowledge," said Peter. Is it not written that the man who imagined the damage of his neighbor, fell and injured the very limb he had imagined himself using with neighbor-damaging violence? David found out this law: "How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Ye shall be slain all of you; as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence."

See how we need high watch with its high language!

People must learn the law of lifting up the face to the Lord Supreme who worketh noble conditions of life into view.

How shall we make it plain that power and vigor and plenty hail from above, with no need to maltreat or suborn our neighbor?

Things and people are often troublesome. Mystical Science teaches us to let them alone as if they did not exist, and look up to the Vast Vast Countenance for one second of time; maybe two seconds; to have nothing to do with them; to cut the threads of attention toward them. The Vast Vast Countenance saith, "I will set them in order before thine eyes," "I restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten." Have not locusts always been symbolic of domestic tormentings? Restorations hail from above. Expect greatly from above, and greatly shall restorations multiply. "Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
