Have no fear of variants

December 7, 2021 | 38 comments

There is mounting fear about the omicron variant which is being tracked and traced around the globe. Infectious disease proponents have long warned that variants would keep appearing, so this is no surprise.

What can one do to stay healthy and safe? Must one keep running to the medical clinic for more vaccination shots and boosters for years, and perhaps decades, to come? Or is there a better way to stay healthy?

For the student of Christian Science, there is clearly a better way. One can demonstrate spiritual immunity.

God has built immunity to disease into the make-up of his spiritual creation. Each of us, as a child of God, possess spiritual immunity to disease, and can demonstrate it as we go about our daily walk. Spiritual immunity effectively neutralizes germs, renders viruses harmless, and preserves health.

Demonstrating spiritual immunity to Covid is the ideal protection because it doesn’t matter what variant of disease the carnal mind comes up with. One variant is no more a threat to our spiritual immunity than another variant. It’s like asking, “What shade of darkness is more terrifying to light than another?” The answer is, “None of them, for light is immune to any shade of darkness.”

Fear of disease is mental darkness. Understanding spiritual immunity is spiritual light. As light cancels out all forms of darkness, spiritual immunity cancels out all types of germs. One virus is no more threatening than another.

So, have no fear of variants. Instead, be sure that your faith in Truth does not vary. Stick steadfast with Truth, demonstrate spiritual immunity, and stay healthy.

  1. Thank you, Even. I love your statement: ” What shade of darkness is more terrifying to light than another?” The answer is, “None of them, for light is immune to any shade of darkness.”

    I have been prayerfully knowing, and still am, that because God creates all the conditions of man, and they are always healthy and harmonious, this virus belief never had a starting point in divine Science, and if it suggests variants, they are just variants of nothingness. They have no reality and
    no power to make themselves real. This week’s Lesson on God the Preserver of Man reveals all the spiritual facts that cannot be contaminated by false material beliefs and fears. Love is enthroned.

  2. Thank you Evan. You often talk about spiritual immunity and I have held to that thought and found it helpful on many occasions. I have shared today’s blog with a friend.

  3. There is nothing that can compete with the light of this world. The light does not bow to darkness, nor does it hide from darkness [ i.e. ignorance] but embraces all in its light. LindaLou

  4. Well said Evan, as always..hmm yes shades of darkness..what a thought…darkness is always without light and we MUST constantly shine light on this darkened thought that says we are vulnerable or that error of any sort has shades, variables and types…error is nothing to God as darkness is nothing to light. A virus with any name is still an error of belief , mesmerism that tries to be asserted as more powerful than God. We cannot accept this make imagined adversary to God ‘s power.

    1. Thank you for all the recommendations you have made regarding corroborating articles. I have found them most helpful.

    2. Thank you Angie – what a wonderful article – too many inspired ideas to refer to here one by one – therefore I’m printing the article as we speak – to highlight and refer to as the week progresses.
      In the meantime I’m visualizing God’s protective banner flying high over me, mine and all, indicating the King’s presence.
      Love is the answer – always!

  5. Love the thought that light isn’t afraid of varied degrees of darkness because it is immune to darkness. Thanks to all who have shared, and thank you, Evan for this clear application of what is true.

  6. Like many of the incredibly inspiring SpiritView’s we’re blessed with, this one is a major KEEPER!

    Most of the time when I’m asked if I’ve been vaccinated, I respond with “I’m inoculated,” knowing that God has already protected me from any danger.

    I am so grateful for your generous contributions, Evan, presented in SpiritView. I have copied and sent this one to the Executive Committee of my Christian Science Association and I will continue to share these through social media.

    Many, many thanks.

  7. I too am thankful for Evan’s continued boosters on spiritual immunity. Yesterday I drove an elderly neighbor to a doctor’s appointment. His wife has been in the hospital 3 times over the last 3 weeks and comes home more sick than the previous time. He told me of their intense fear of hospitals and doctors offices due to these variants on top of what is ailing them. They are not interested in CS and know that I choose not to be vaccinated but note how grateful they are for a loving neighbor who they feel is “their guardian angel”. My daily focus is to look for and express Love’s light more consistently, gratitude is our way of connecting to God’s allness. Thank goodness for CS that helps us see through the mist of mortal mind. And, Angie thanks for your continuation of great articles.

    1. Jp, thank you for making your daily focus to look for and express the light of Love. This is how we end a lie of pandemic. I too have been trying to make my daily focus to be one of spreading Love. It feels wonderful and almost always others respond with such joy.

  8. I love how God prepares us for spiritual growth with every progressive spiritual idea, and connecting the truth of those ideas, and their power to bless. With the one divine Mind being All, even in this dream we can appreciate our wellness/oneness in interconnectivity and connecting ideas.

    As I was praying for someone during a bicycle trip on winding roads in the rain and poor visibility and no shoulders, I was reminded of progressive answers to prayer during my bicycle tour across the United States and throughout Western Europe long ago. Each day was emphasizing the “lessons and blessin’s” that “innocence is our protection.”

    Likewise, innocence is our immunity and Community .

    The word immunity comes from to Latin words or word parts: “im-“ or “in-“ which means “not”; “munis” means “readiness for service and contribution”. Roman rich men property owners who were able to inherit or buy citizenship had an obligation or duty to serve the public, or at least the bureaucracy and government that was serving the interests of the rich. Those men who were “immune” from public service were not liable to fulfill their social civic obligation, such as not having to serve justice as jurors and not having to pay taxes or do volunteer work. We are not indebted laborers to present slavery of fear and disease; we have the duty and the joy, the right and the responsibility, to learn and bless through serving our community and world and all living beings. Paul emphasized his Roman citizenship which meant he was immune to or protected from being beaten like a slave or non-citizen.

    We have right citizenship with right government that is health and justice and mercy for all. The right citizenship makes us immune from physical abuse or harm. Or public humiliation and degradation or dehumanization.

    Not a Roman citizen, but one living in an occupied territory controlled by Romans, Christ Jesus demonstrated his dominion and innocence by continuing to love and forgive and a pray for and bless those who took advantage of him not having Roman citizenship and immunity. We are not victims of oppression or depression, We are not citizens of, and are not obligated to, and are not slaves of, and we are not controlled by, the false/faults rule of disease, and fear of it or the exploitation of it. And we are not the oppressed people who are unfairly denied the rights of rightful citizenship and immunity’s protection.

    We are each, and everyone else and every other living creature is, innocent serving good and being served by good, protecting good and protected by good. No one is excluded from rightful service and rightful protection and affirmation of our belonging and innocence. We naturally enjoy serving good and blessing all, so we are innocent of self righteousness and contempt and ego and fear and resentment. We are innocent of wanting to feel entitled to wealth or health or special privileges at the expense of others.

    So that innocence is our protection and it spreads out to protect others, in the contagion of love. In the active citizenship and community of Love’s immunity. This is the immunity and innocence shared by all that is our protection and service for all.

  9. Thank you Evan for addressing this present issue with your understanding of the Scientific state of being found in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. And is that protection granted through ceaseless prayer and the constant conscious capacity to know and understand God? If so, I find it an ever mounting challenge as I approach eternity.

  10. These spiritual boosts in thought are So helpful in these times. Many trust their “natural” immunity, which has been proven to be way more effective than any man made attempt of so-called protection from what mortal sense seems to be throwing at us. Natural is God-given. It is in our nature to reflect
    these innate qualities, which can and will counteract any false beliefs that would try to harm us
    from our light-filled True being. God’s power is the control that we can turn to, where this other
    power that is attempting to take over our thought, will eventually be dissipated into the nothingness ~
    the darkness that it is.

  11. Thank you Evan, and thank you Edith for your insightful comments. I love contemplating the idea of our God sourced innocence being a shield and protection against any form of harm or disease. Knowing that in truth we are Love’s pure reflections,- spotless, blameless. guiltless, and completely free of the dream of life in matter, or of any knowledge of evil. This immaculate understanding of the kingdom of heaven here enabled Jesus to cast out the belief of contagion in it’s most aggressive forms.

  12. Evan’s comment about how light cancels out darkness made me think of something Marian English wrote: “…spiritual enlightenment alone makes healing possible. It’s a bit like trying so hard to battle the darkness that we neglect to do the one thing necessary – let in the light. But the shadows of apathy and opposition cannot invade the enlightened thought any more than darkness can force its way into a lighted room. The allness and oneness of God, good, and the consequent nothingness of evil.”

    1. J thank you for that quote. I had to chuckle at the image of darkness trying to fight its way into a room full of Light, trying all sorts of tricks and of course failing and fleeing from the Light of our divine Consciousness.

      Also appreciated Maggie’s comment on “variants of nothingness.” Nothingness can try to present itself in various ways, but it is still a zero. Even a thousand zeros in different shapes, colors and sizes are still zero, nothing, with no power over the the children, the very creation, of the most high God.

      It is so comforting to me to realize that rin these times, around the world, Christian Science Practitioners, Teachers, lecturers, writers, all of us here on SV, dear Evan, and in fact all students of Christian Science are going around each day knowing and demonstrating the unchangable facts of Being. This is such a powerful force for Good.

  13. Thank you for reminding us to stand our ground against baseless fear and evil. The new variant is simply a new attempt at the same old lie/trick to mesmerize us into believing that God is not all, in control. But God is All, Good. We can calmly trust this to guide our prayers regarding the belief of a pandemic. It is our duty to handle our thought and pray in the way we are guided to wipe this lie out. How wonderful we have the perfect solution in the gift of Christian Science.

  14. Thank you dear Evan. It is so very comforting and very needed, and yes, uplifting from earthly to our spiritual understanding of our being in God, divine Truth and Love!
    Our new government in Germany gives stronger Covid restrictions than the old government did. Without vaccination one can only go to the grocery or supermarket or to the shop which sells medical products. I wanted to let the battery of my watch change, but they let me not in because I am not vaccinated. I am not upset about that. I have several other devices which show the exact time.
    I love the truth mentioned in today’s so refreshing SpiritView … to claim our spiritual immunity … From the spiritual standpoint we have a God-given spiritual immunity against everything not coming from God, the everpresent and all room filling Good!
    Am deeply grateful for Evan’s steady loving help!♡
    And equally thankful I am for all the really wonderful comments.
    And dear Angie, thanks a lot always for your inspiring articles from our CS periodicals ♡♡♡

  15. Thanks so much for your encouragement about immunity. We as Children of God can never affected in any way about fear or diseases.
    When God is ominpresence. Therefore we are forever protected by Him.
