Some Notes on True Vision by John Morgan

[MaryBeth]

While we study the Lesson Sermons on the synonyms for God, I also love to refer to the pamphlet “Some Notes on True Vision” by John Morgan (found on our website). Mr. Morgan takes each synonym and beautifully applies it to our vision, and vision is so important to all aspects of our lives. The following are a couple of excerpts from what he wrote about the synonym “LOVE”:
“LOVE beholds me as its own beloved. The divine Mother, Love, conceives me as complete and perfect. I reflect this divine conception and accept it, and so conceive and behold everyone in Love.”
“‘I saw the love of God encircling the universe and man, filling all space, and that divine Love so permeated my own consciousness that I loved with Christ-like compassion everything I saw. This realization of divine Love called into expression the beauty of holiness, the perfection of being which healed and regenerated and saved all who turned to me for help.’ (attributed to Mrs. Eddy. From “General Collectanea” published by Gilbert Carpenter Jr.)”

Thank you for this post! When I read “I saw the love of God encircling the universe and man, filling all space, and that divine Love so permeated my own consciousness that I loved with Christ-like compassion everything I saw” I was reminded of what the mother of the child said in her testimony about when Mrs. Eddy healed her little girl of the boil on her head (The Healer – The Healing Work of Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 120-121):

“I wish I could make the world know what I saw when Mrs. Eddy looked on those children….I saw for the first time the real Mother-Love….It is impossible to put into words what the uncovering of my own lack of the real Mother-Love meant to me. As I…walked toward the line of trees in the front yard, there was a bird sitting on the limb of a tree, and I saw the same Love, poured out on that bird that I had seen flow from Mrs. Eddy to my children. I looked down at the grass and the flowers and there was the same Love resting on them. It is difficult for me to put into words what I saw. This Love was everywhere, like the light, but it was divine, not mere human affection. I looked at the people milling around on the lawn and I saw it poured out on them….It was not only everywhere present, like the light, but it was an intelligent presence that spoke to me, and I found myself weeping as I walked back and forth under the trees and saying out loud, ‘Why did I never know you before? Why have I not known you always?’…When we got back to the hotel, there was no boil on my child’s head.”
