Freedom from pornography is essential to health and happiness

By Kay Stroud - posted Friday, 10 April 2015


Like Albert Einstein, she laboured to "know God's thoughts," eventually leaving behind a life of sickness and dead-ends as this deeper understanding of divine reality dawned on her.

In my own life, I've found her book Science and Health unlocks a life-changing view of men and women as actually being the sons and daughters of God, the divine Mind.

When we're awake to this spiritual nature of ourselves and others, the need to objectify women or to allow ourselves to be objectified, to seek women as trophies to validate masculinity or to allow ourselves to be used in that way can no longer motivate us. And the temptation to seek out porn will fade away. We won't spend hours locked away, wasting opportunities to climb a mountain, cook a meal, become a volunteer or laugh with friends.

I get the feeling that Brand is a change-agent for a healthier society and wouldn't mind being described as a guy who's tuned into this spiritual millennium.

Whatever the validity of that view, we each have an inherent spiritual strength to enable us to shut that laptop down when we need to.
