If at present content with idleness, we must become dissatisfied with it.

~ Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 240

To demonstrate Life in Spirit, thought must move from material sense to spiritual sense, from complacency with mortal mind to active engagement with divine Mind.  

As a hiker knows from hiking mountains, it takes preparation and effort to trek from the bottom of the hill to the top.  One cannot stand at the bottom and think about being at the top.  One needs to make effort to get there.  He needs to put on his shoes and start walking until he arrives at his desired destination.

The same rule applies to demonstrating spiritual truth.  It takes effort and action to accomplish results.  We can stand idly by dreaming away the hours in material sense and advance rapidly with spiritual sense.  We need to wake up from any mesmeric trance of life in matter and start trekking with Life in Spirit.  

The effort is worth the reward, for faithful obedience to Truth brings health, harmony and heavenly peace our way.  

Idleness is a deceptive feeling.  When indulged, it might feel okay to be doing nothing.  But if one is honest, doing nothing yields nothing.  And it often opens thought to wayward influences that are not in one’s best interest to follow.

Live a productive life.  Be progressive.  Keep growing spiritually.  You will love the results.
