Cast out of our thought mere personal attachment, prejudice, jealousy, envy, resentment. Relinquishing such, replacing them with right ideas and qualities and impartial love for mankind, we progress out of a sense of evil, or devil, as the Bible terms the supposed opposite of good, into the consciousness of omnipresent good.
This seeking and attaining of a higher, more spiritual standpoint is a certain sign of progress. It proves that old, mistaken habits of thought and action are being corrected. It brings new views of man as God's reflection, the image and likeness of God as divine Life and Spirit.
Spiritual awakening ensures fruitfulness in good works. It impels pure affection for our fellowmen, regardless of race, color, or creed. It imparts ability to heal sin and disease by divine power, as Christ Jesus healed. St. Paul names the fruits of such spiritual awakening and understanding as "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, faith, meekness, temperance" (Galatians 5:22, 23), and adds, "against such there is no law."
