Watching Point 266

266 — WATCH lest in retreating from error, you cling to some phase of it that seems good, since error can use one phase which you accept as real, as a means of establishing other claims as real. Mrs. Eddy once said, “One error rides in on another.”

Lot’s wife represented the last human tie that seemed good to Lot as he retreated from materiality. Not until she turned into a pillar of salt — or he saw the worthlessness of the human, even in its most desirable form — was he ready to turn his back on all error, and leave it to its own self-destruction.
