Introducing a new contributor, Jack Gregory: “God’s Book of Life”

Recently re-reading the book “Let God Do It” by Wentworth Byron Winslow, I noticed that he used the story of Robinson Crusoe [Ed. a novel first published in 1719] by Daniel Defoe to bring out a most interesting point.  He pointed out that Crusoe only ever existed as an idea in the mind of Defoe.  Each of Crusoe’s experiences were ideas first formed in the mind of Defoe, his thoughts written down.  When Crusoe was shipwrecked, circumstances were introduced whereby he was saved.  Whatever he needed was met in the mind of Defoe and introduced into the story.  When he needed an axe or food it was supplied.  When he needed companionship, Defoe thought of a way to introduce circumstances whereby the character Man Friday appears to help him.  All of these things only ever existed in the mind of Defoe.

Similarly we are expressions (thoughts) of the infinite divine Mind, God.   As such expressions, we can expect all our needs to be met by the divine Mind, when we need them.  Who knows what God has included in the next paragraph for us?  We can be sure of one thing: that it will be good.

When this chapter is completed, we do not know what the next chapter will be about, but for sure it can only be good and exciting.

S&H 151:26                 All that really exists is the divine Mind and its ideas...

S&H 520:3                   Unfathomable Mind is expressed...
Ps. 139 (NRSB)            Your eyes beheld my unformed substance.  In Your book were written all the days that were written for me, when none of them as yet existed.

Retrospection & Introspection 70:18   Each individual must fill his own niche in time and eternity.
