If we look outside for help, it is because of ignorance. "Ye know not what manner of Spirit ye are of." (Luke 9: 55.) If drugs or health laws have helped, it has been through our faith in them.

If the branch of a tree should look upon its good fruit and say, "I will sustain myself upon this fruit," it would soon perish for lack of supply. The supply that the outer can give is soon exhausted. Eve thought to feed her soul upon the fruit.

If the individual look upon form (fruit) and, believing it good to make one wiser and better, say, "I will take of this visible substance to support my strength and health," the individual will soon feel the lack of supply.

In our day of judgment, we discern between the true Source of supply and that which it has produced. Though perfect, the outer can not sustain us nor add anything to us.

We have entered the judgment of Truth to which we are willing to surrender sense judgment. Are we to deny the senses and the evidence of the senses? No but we are to educate the senses to know that they are governed by Consciousness, and not to believe we are governed by them. Unillumined, the senses deceive us.

Seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling are connecting links between invisible and visible things. They represent the perception through which Infinite Understanding sees its world of form.
