Human Mind Handled

It’s been said that the human mind, when left unhandled, works to hurt us and separate us from the Truth. But applying the Truth to these disturbing memories and thoughts can bring healing and forgiveness to ourselves and others.

I had a lot of self-loathing that has been healed. I didn’t really have a good relationship with my mother, and I now feel healed of this. But there was one lingering painful memory that needed to be healed. Just after my first wife and I divorced and she remarried, there was a time where she had our kids call the new husband “daddy.” This was very painful, and left me pretty angry for a long time.

Learning to live this Science, and having the place and purpose that God has given me here, the pain of the memory was definitely lessening. Couple that with the fact that my kids and I have a really good relationship, I certainly have nothing to complain about. Also, knowing that God is my Father and their Father helped a lot.

That said, it still was the only memory I had to actively handle my feelings about. This was until just a few months ago, when a real angel message helped me to finally be healed of this. I had the sudden realization of what it means that the human mind, when left unhandled, really works to hurt us and separate us from the Truth, and how it applied to that situation.

I could see that my ex-wife didn’t know how to handle animal magnetism, so she let it work through her to try to hurt me. I didn’t know how to handle it, so I took it personally and let it hurt me. But in the end, the reality is, it wasn’t from God, and it wasn’t true about her or me, and Christian Science allows me to prove what Mrs. Eddy wrote on page 538 of Science and Health: “evil has no history.”

I am so grateful for this understanding, as it has healed that situation completely. Christian Science constantly proves itself to be the only way to true healing and true happiness and freedom.
