See as God sees.

And be willing to see only as God sees.

Daily, hourly, we need new views. We need clearer views, of ourselves and of others. We need to be willing to see as God sees. We need to be willing, not to be mesmerized by what others think we should think, or what others believe we should believe.

Our standard must be in our willingness to see only what God sees and knows. That will always begin, never with false opinion, judgment, of ourselves or others, but with perfection. Perfect God perfect man as our starting point, and our staying point. Choose God, choose good, to see what you see.

Here I am including a favorite statement on Perfection. See how this stand for identifying perfection brought healing to Irving Tomlinson, the author of “Twelve Years with Mary Baker Eddy.”

“PERFECTION”
Irving Tomlinson (Twelve Years with Mary Baker Eddy), in one of his lectures, told what he learned to do to keep his thought in tune or in oneness with God. It is entitled “perfection”, and I quote:

“I have learned to make Science a thing of life, and I’m going to tell you what the wonderful secret is. For it is wonderful. Now it is this: not to feel, see or repeat any kind of imperfection. It is seeing, hearing and repeating good, and only good… at all times, under all circumstances, in spite of everything that appears to the contrary.

“I make the resolution every morning when I first open my eyes, and review it every hour of the day. I see perfection, the perfect cause the perfect effect, perfect God and perfect man, and I refuse to make any kind of exception. I refuse to admit the slightest imperfection in myself, and my friends, in my so-called enemies, and in the affairs of the world.

“I take that radical stand every day for the perfection of God in everything and everybody He has made. I look upon the world with God’s eyes, and in it, see it as He sees it. I refuse to see it any other way. I stop a dozen times a day and review the resolve and make sure I’m not repeating error, giving way to fear or criticism. I watch my thoughts, even about people, the lame, the old, the unlovely to sense, that I pass, and the stray animals.

“I have taken my radical stand for the perfection of all things and I absolutely will not release the perfect standard. The result has been marvelous. Try it and you will forget to wear glasses; they will become unnecessary. You will be seeing with God’s eyes and will behold a perfect universe. The outward worlds are the pictures of the inward thinking. To change the picture, one must change the thought that produced the picture.”.
