sees the real Cause to be good, life and peace, for it is God. This seems to be the truth as revealed by today's light in the figurative language of Creation.

Jesus gives the same teaching in his parable of the wheat and tares. The Master planted only good seed. The Garden of Eden is the field, Man's soul that has within it the possibility of producing or expressing the perfection of Divinity. "While men slept" an enemy came; this was a dream caused by ignorance, or immature thought; the enemy appears only while we are asleep to truth.

When we awake, we question, "Whence has this field tares when thou hast sown only good seed"? Jeremiah hears the same question, "I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed; how then, art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me"?

As light increases, true judgment comes, and separation then begins to be made. Knowledge of Truth separates within us the wheat from the tares, garners the wheat planted in the beginning (all good in all is eternal), burns the tares, for the light of God revealing Infinite Good as all Truth, consumes every belief of evil as a reality. When we cease to look at Spirit, we grow blind to it, then we seek elsewhere for our good and become slaves to that which supplies us, Israel is in bondage to Egypt.
