[Ref. journal #8]

Loosing keys? It's not about the keys themselves [they are always going to be where they will be] so retaining our sense of Soul, harmony, is more important than anything else! [our freedom from being in the mist of muddled thoughts] so it's about the exchange of frenzy for a quality of God. Something useful like them are part of this quality too. When we are in tune with Soul's beauty we have all we need.

This happened to me on the golf course when at the end of a beautiful sunny evening a storm started breaking and I realised my clip-on watch was not on my wrist. Umbrella up, I was sure nothing could foul our nine holes of bliss and we decided to retrace our game. Patiently we enjoyed seeing the course backwards towards the setting sun, dark clouds are lowering behind us. Somehow the storm passed to one side and as I enjoyed the calm I recalled I had had a problem with my golf bag and went to the place to search among the undergrowth where it was hidden on the soil!

To me it was proof that we should never let anything disturb us... It even showed me that even the haste with my button was to be guarded against. In Science and Health we read:

"Reverse the case. Stand porter at the door of thought. Admitting only such conclusions as you wish realized in bodily results, you will control yourself harmoniously. When the condition is present which you say induces disease, whether it be air, exercise, heredity, contagion, or accident, then perform your office as porter and shut out these unhealthy thoughts and fears. Exclude from mortal mind the offending errors; then the body cannot suffer from them. The issues of pain or pleasure must come through mind, and like a watchman forsaking his post, we admit the intruding belief, forgetting that through divine help we can forbid this entrance."
