1 | 250313 | Thursday | Creation | MP3 | Thoughts are things: Look away from the body into Truth and Love, the Principle of all happiness, harmony, and immortality. Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionably to their occupancy of your thoughts. (SH 261:2) [Household #5 by Mary Baker Eddy] |
2 | 250312 | Wednesday | Footsteps of Truth | MP3 | The only way: There is but one way to heaven, harmony, and Christ in divine Science shows us this way. It is to know no other reality—to have no other consciousness of life—than good, God and His reflection, and to rise superior to the so-called pain and pleasure of the senses (242:9). [Household #4 by Mary Baker Eddy] |
3 | 250311 | Tuesday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Love | Love is my God and my God is Love. Good is my God and my good is Love. Love is my God and my love is good. Love is my Principle and my Principle is Love. Love is the law of my being. Divine Love is enthroned in my consciousness as my God. This is the Word of God. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
4 | 250310 | Monday | Atonement and Eucharist | MP3 | Wait for reward: “Work out your own salvation,” is the demand of Life and Love, for to this end God worketh with you. “Occupy till I come!” Wait for your reward, and “be not weary in well doing.” If your endeavors are beset by fearful odds, and you receive no present reward, go not back to error, nor become a sluggard in the race.

5 | 250307 | Friday | Mind | MRS. Eddy’s momentous discovery in the second half of the nineteenth century has revolutionized the world. In simplest words it is that mind is the cause of all effect. If mind embraces and emits Truth and Love it is God. If mind embraces and emits fear, error, or belief, it is evil, a lie. In 1866 only one individual on earth could see the magnitude of this great discovery. [TICS ~ 2011-07 ~ VOL 36-01 ~ Pgs 7-11] | |
6 | 250306-250305 | Thursday & Wednesday | Freedom | Excerpt 1949 Association Paper ~ It is important to know what freedom is and how it is accomplished. It is not just by the rejection of error, but to know a thing is not true. It is the individual alone who can make evil an unreality. Actually, freedom begins with the rejection of error. Freedom comes to the beholder first, and this is divine freedom -- the only freedom there is. ~ What is freedom? There are many opinions but CS supplies the only answer. A Christian Scientist understands freedom. Divine Science interprets “I am free.” It must be freedom, not license. [Mildred L. LeBlond C.S.B] | |
7 | 250304 | Tuesday | Devil | Evil; a lie; error; neither corporeality nor mind; the opposite of Truth; a belief in sin, sickness, and death; animal magnetism or hypnotism; the lust of the flesh, which saith: " I am life and intelligence in matter. There is more than one mind, for I am mind, — a wicked mind, self-made or created by a tribal god and put into the opposite of mind, termed matter, thence to reproduce a mortal universe, including man, not after the image and likeness of Spirit, but after its own image." [SH 584 ~ Mary Baker Eddy] | |
8 | 250303 | Monday | Man | The compound idea of infinite Spirit; the spiritual image and likeness of God; the full representation of Mind. [SH 591 ~ Mary Baker Eddy] | |
9 | 250228 | Friday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Truth | Truth is a sacred name for God. We must divest it of all materiality. Declare often: Truth is my God and my God is Truth. Good is my Truth and my Truth is good. Truth is enthroned in my consciousness. Error and materiality are not enthroned. This is the Word of God. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
10 | 250227 | Thursday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Soul | We must hold Soul in consciousness only as a sacred name for God. We have to rise above the belief that Soul is an invisible personality residing in a fleshly form, with a personal identity. Soul must be recognized as a name for God and a name by which God is to be worshiped. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
11 | 250226 | Wednesday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Spirit | We must declare often that Spirit is not an invisible personality inhabiting a material body. Spirit has no other meaning than God, and substance. We must declare there is only one Spirit and that is God. Spirit is my God and my God is Spirit, individual, incorporeal, immaterial. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
12 | 250225 | Tuesday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Principle | We must hallow this word “Principle” as a name for God. Declare often: there is only one Principle, and this is my infinite, all-present, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-acting, all-loving Principle. Principle is my God and my God is divine Principle. Good is my Principle and my Principle is good. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
13 | 250224 | Monday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Mind | View | Mind is God, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, all-knowing, all-seeing. Divine Mind is enthroned in my consciousness. Mortal mind and matter and personal sense are not enthroned. Ignorance and apathy and materiality are not enthroned in my consciousness. [Mary Baker Eddy] |
14 | 250221 | Friday | Man never less than man | Man undergoing birth, maturity, and decay is like the beasts and vegetables, — subject to laws of decay. If man were dust in his earliest stage of existence, we might admit the hypothesis that he returns eventually to his primitive condition; but man was never more nor less than man. If man flickers out in death or springs from matter into being, there must be an instant when God is without His entire manifestation, — when there is no full reflection of the infinite Mind. [SH 244:13-22 ~ Mary Baker Eddy] | |
15 | 250220 | Thursday | Mind ~ Deformity & Perfection | Sickness, sin, and death are not the fruits of Life. They are inharmonies which Truth destroys. Perfection does not animate imperfection. Inasmuch as God is good and the fount of all being, He does not produce moral or physical deformity; therefore such deformity is not real, but is illusion, the mirage of error. Divine Science reveals these grand facts. On their basis Jesus demonstrated Life, never fearing nor obeying error in any form.
If we were to derive all our conceptions of man from what is seen between the cradle and the grave, happi9 ness and goodness would have no abiding-place in man, and the worms would rob him of the flesh; but Paul writes: 'The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.' [SH 243:30-12 ~ Mary Baker Eddy] Show all |

16 | 250219 | Wednesday | Mind ~ Perpetual youth | Disappointed in love in her early years, she became insane and lost all account of time. Believing that she was still living in the same hour which parted her from her lover, taking no note of years, she stood daily before the window watching for her lover's coming. In this mental state she remained young. Having no consciousness of time, she literally grew no older. Some American travellers saw her when she was seventy-four, and supposed her to be a young woman. She had no care-lined face, no wrinkles nor gray hair, but youth sat gently on cheek and brow. Asked to guess her
age, those unacquainted with her history conjectured that
she must be under twenty.
This instance of youth preserved furnishes a useful hint, upon which a Franklin might work with more certainty than when he coaxed the enamoured lightning from the clouds. Years had not made her old, because she had taken no cognizance of passing time nor thought of herself as growing old. The bodily results of her belief that she was young manifested the influence of such a belief. She could not age while believing herself young, for the mental state governed the physical. Impossibilities never occur. One instance like the foregoing proves it possible to be young at seventy-four; and the primary of that illustration makes it plain that decrepitude is not according to law, nor is it a necessity of nature, but an illusion.

17 | 250218 | Tuesday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Mind | Love the light of victory evolved ~ Mind is light ~ “The real Christian Scientist is constantly accentuating harmony in word and deed, mentally and orally, perpetually repeating this diapason of heaven: ‘Good is my God, and my God is good. Love is my God, and my God is Love.’” (Mis. 206:19) [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
18 | 250217 | Monday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Love - Part 2 | Mrs. Eddy writes in Miscellaneous Writings, “The real Christian Scientist is constantly accentuating harmony in word and deed, mentally and orally, perpetually repeating this diapason of heaven: ‘Good is my God, and my God is good. Love is my God and my God is Love (Mis. 206:19-23). We must mentally and orally, perpetually repeat, “Good is my God, and my God is good. Love is my God and my God is Love.” | |
19 | 250214 | Friday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Love - Part 1 | Love is my God and my God is Love. Good is my God and my good is Love. Love is my God and my love is good. Love is my Principle and my Principle is Love. Love is the law of my being. Divine Love is enthroned in my consciousness as my God. This is the Word of God. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
20 | 250113 | Thursday | Spirit & Soul | What are spirits and souls? — To human belief, they are personalities constituted of mind and matter, life and death, truth and error, good and evil; but these contrasting pairs of terms represent contraries, as Christian Science reveals, which neither dwell together nor assimilate. Truth is immortal; error is mortal. Truth is limitless; error is limited. Truth is intelligent; error is non-intelligent. Moreover, Truth is real, and error is unreal. This last statement contains the point you will most reluctantly admit, although first and last it is the most important to understand. Mankind Redeemed The term souls or spirits is as improper as the term gods. Soul or Spirit signifies Deity and nothing else. There is no finite soul nor spirit. Soul or Spirit means only one Mind, and cannot be rendered in the plural. Heathen mythology and Jewish theology have perpetuated the fallacy that intelligence, soul, and life can be in matter; and idolatry and ritualism are the outcome of all man-made beliefs. The Science of Christianity comes with fan in hand to separate the chaff from the wheat. Science will declare God aright, and Christianity will demonstrate this declaration and its divine Principle, making mankind better physically, morally, and spiritually. [SH 466:7-31 ~ Mary Baker Eddy]Show all | |
21 | 250212 | Wednesday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Mind | Divine Mind is my Mind and my Mind is God. God is my Mind and my Mind is good. I have an intelligent Mind, a good Mind, a wise, perceptive, discerning Mind, a clear Mind, a joyous, happy Mind. Mind is God, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, all-knowing, all-seeing. Divine Mind is enthroned in my consciousness. | |
22 | 250211 | Tuesday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Soul | We must hold Soul in consciousness only as a sacred name for God. We have to rise above the belief that Soul is an invisible personality residing in a fleshly form, with a personal identity. Soul must be recognized as a name for God and a name by which God is to be worshiped. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
23 | 250210 | Monday | Truth ~ Perfection | There are 3 introductory quotes at the beginning of Science & Health. The first quote states ~ we need to understand Truth. The second one states ~ what we think is going to be our experience. Therefore, we must let Truth be what we are thinking about as we are doing our spiritual perception, our spiritual looking. Mary Baker Eddy examined herself hourly to be sure her focus was on the Truth about everyone & everything, which means that no evil was accepted, but only Truth was recognized to be real. Doing this enabled her to heal any problem instantaneously. This is our guide. [MBEI] | |
24 | 250207 | Friday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Truth | Truth is a sacred name for God. We must divest it of all materiality. Declare often: Truth is my God and my God is Truth. Good is my Truth and my Truth is good. Truth is enthroned in my consciousness. Error and materiality are not enthroned. This is the Word of God. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
25 | 250206 | Thursday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Mind | Love the light of victory evolved ~ Mind is light ~ “The real Christian Scientist is constantly accentuating harmony in word and deed, mentally and orally, perpetually repeating this diapason of heaven: ‘Good is my God, and my God is good. Love is my God, and my God is Love.’” (Mis. 206:19) [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
26 | 250205 | Wednesday | Gates ~ The royally divine gates | As the Psalmist saith, "Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King." It is indeed a city of the Spirit, fair, royal, and square. Northward, its gates open to the North Star, the Word, the polar magnet of Revelation; eastward, to the star seen by the Wisemen of the Orient, who followed it to the manger of Jesus; southward, to the genial tropics, with the Southern Cross in the skies, — the Cross of Calvary, which binds human society into solemn union; westward, to the grand realization of the Golden Shore of Love and the Peaceful Sea of Harmony. [SH 575:22-2] | |
27 | 250204 | Tuesday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Life | Life is holy. We must hallow this word, for it is a sacred name for God. Declare often: There is only one Life, and that is God. There is no personal life. My life is God, an infinite, incorporeal, all-encompassing, all- present, all-active, everlasting Life. Declare that God, good, is the only Life of man. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
28 | 250131 | Friday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Spirit | We must declare often that Spirit is not an invisible personality inhabiting a material body. Spirit has no other meaning than God, and substance. We must declare there is only one Spirit and that is God. Spirit is my God and my God is Spirit, individual, incorporeal, immaterial. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
29 | 250130 | Thursday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Soul | We must hold Soul in consciousness only as a sacred name for God. We have to rise above the belief that Soul is an invisible personality residing in a fleshly form, with a personal identity. Soul must be recognized as a name for God and a name by which God is to be worshiped. [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
30 | 250128 | Tuesday | Gethsemane glorified | During his night of gloom & glory in the garden, Jesus realized the utter error of a belief in any possible material intelligence. The pangs of neglect and the staves of bigoted ignorance smote him sorely. His students slept. He said unto them: 'Could Ye not watch with me one hour?' Could they not watch with him who, waiting and struggling in voice less agony, held uncomplaining guard over a world? There was no response to that human yearning, and so Jesus turned forever away from earth to heaven, from sense to Soul. Remembering the sweat of agony which fell in holy benediction on the grass of Gethsemane, shall the humblest or mightiest disciple murmur when he drinks from the same cup, and think, or even wish, to escape the exalting ordeal of sin's revenge on its destroyer? Truth and Love bestow few palms until the consummation of a life-work. [SH 47-48 ~ Mary Baker Eddy]Show all | |
31 | 250127 | Monday | The Sole Governor | We lose the high signification of omnipotence, when after admitting that God, or good, is omnipresent and has all-power, we still believe there is another power, named evil. This belief that there is more than one mind is as pernicious to divine theology as are ancient mythology and pagan idolatry. With one Father, even God, the whole family of man would be brethren; and with one Mind and that God, or good, the brotherhood of man would consist of Love and Truth, and have unity of Principle and spiritual power which constitute divine Science. The supposed existence of more than one mind was the basic error of idolatry. This error assumed the loss of spiritual power, the loss of the spiritual presence of Life as infinite Truth without an unlikeness, and the loss of Love as ever present and universal. [SH 469:25 to 470:10 ~ Mary Baker Eddy]Show all | |
32 | 250124 | Friday | Mind ~ Impossible Coalescence | Mind is the grand creator, and there can be no power except that which is derived from Mind. If Mind was first chronologically, is first potentially, and must be first eternally, then give to Mind the glory, honor, dominion, and power everlastingly due its holy name. Inferior and unspiritual methods of healing may try to make Mind and drugs coalesce, but the two will not mingle scientifically. Why should we wish to make them do so, since no good can come of it? [SH 143:26-2 ~ Mary Baker Eddy] | |
33 | 250123 | Thursday | Freedom ~ deny evil ~ affirm Truth | Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. — John viii. 32 Freedom is the key to a civilization that desires peace. The freedom one seeks is freedom from any & all evil. When we have freedom from evil, we then cultivate only Truth. The real Truth about man is that we are given freedom as a part of our heritage from our real Father, which is God. "God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love" ~ [SH 465]. When we are free, that means that we are reflecting all of these qualities from our origin, which is our one & only Father. |

34 | 250122 | Wednesday | AMERICA ~ Pledge of Allegiance | One Nation Under God ~ America is Above All Storms "I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all." |

35 | 250121 | Tuesday | The Power of Mind ~ Your Divinity Revealed ~ Chpt 04 | WE STAND IN AWE before the great fact that we can learn the nature of God, of Being, as Mind. Mrs. Eddy taught that the primal slavery was accepting human life as defined by the physical senses. IN CLASS she started her revelation at a single point in her students' thinking, namely, their concept of God. Each student had to explain his concept of God. Then, for three days Mrs. Eddy would open up to them a view of divinity that transformed the world they had known. SHE PRESENTED them with a divine Principle that knew no pain or death.

36 | 250120 | Monday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Mind Part 2 | Divine Mind is my Mind and my Mind is God. God is my Mind and my Mind is good. I have an intelligent Mind, a good Mind, a wise, perceptive, discerning Mind, a clear Mind, a joyous, happy Mind. Mind is God, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, all-knowing, all-seeing. Divine Mind is enthroned in my consciousness. Mortal mind and matter and personal sense are not enthroned. Ignorance and apathy and materiality are not enthroned in my consciousness. Good is my Mind and my Mind is good. Mind is my God and my Mind is good. Divine Mind is enthroned, etc. This is the Word of God. | |
37 | 250117 | Friday | Substance or Spirit | Question ~ What is substance? Answer ~ Substance is that which is eternal and incapable of discord and decay. Truth, Life, and Love are substance, as the Scriptures use this word in synonyms Hebrews:" The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Spirit, the synonym of Mind, Soul, or God, is the only real substance. The spiritual universe, including individual man, is a compound idea, reflecting the divine substance of Spirit. [Mary Baker Eddy ~ SH 468] |
|
38 | 250116 | Thursday | God or Principle | Question. - Is there more than one God or Principle? Answer - There is not. Principle and its idea is one, and this one is God, omnipotent, omniscient, and omni-present Being, and His reflection is man and the universe. Omni is adopted from the Latin adjective signifying all. Hence God combines all-power or potency, all-science or true knowledge, all-presence. The varied manifestations of Christian Science indicate Mind, never matter, and have one Principle. [Mary Baker Eddy ~ SH 465-466] |
|
39 | 250115 | Wednesday | Spirit is Omnipresent | The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. [Luke 4] SILENT EXAMPLE: We each are anointed by God if we reflect His qualities, all of which are spiritual. One of the most valuable ways to deliver all messages from God is by silent example. [MBEI] |

40 | 250114 | Tuesday | Diapason of Heaven ~ Mind Part 1 | Love the light of victory evolved ~ Mind is light ~ “The real Christian Scientist is constantly accentuating harmony in word and deed, mentally and orally, perpetually repeating this diapason of heaven: ‘Good is my God, and my God is good. Love is my God, and my God is Love.’” (Mis. 206:19) [Mary Baker Eddy] | |
41 | 250113 | Monday | Treating back in time or Treating Backwards | View | “Before Abraham was, I am” ~ Christ Jesus “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer” ~ Isaiah “That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been” ~ Eccl. Realize that nothing is impossible to GOD ~ Realize that there is no such thing as time “ Treating backwards ” is the term applied to treatment when the person treated desires the apparent effect of the treatment to take place at a given time in the past. [Frederick L Rawson] |
42 | 250110 | Friday | God ~ Seek Him First | “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness…..” ~ Christ Jesus Treatment is the word used to indicate that form of prayer which is based upon right thinking, namely, thinking of absolute good. It is actively thinking of the world of reality. The word treatment therefore signifies the line of demarcation between prayer thus understood and prayer based upon supplication addressed to a distant omnipotent being who, many think, may or may not answer or even hear the cry of the suppliant. [Frederick L Rawson] |
|
43 | 250109 | Thursday | Mind ~ True sense of infinite | Mind is God. The exterminator of error is the great truth that God, good, is the only Mind, and that the supposititious opposite of infinite Mind — called devil or evil — is not Mind, is not Truth, but error, without intelligence or reality. There can be but one Mind, because there is but one God; and if mortals claimed no other Mind and accepted no other, sin would be unknown. We can have but one Mind, if that one is infinite. We bury the sense of infinitude, when we admit that, although God is infinite, evil has a place in this infinity, for evil can have no place, where all space is filled with God. [Science and Health ~ Chpt 14 Recapitulation ~ Pg 469] | |
44 | 250103 | Friday | Love ~ The Universal Plan
of Love |
Love ~ The Universal Plan of Love Everything that happens in the creative Mind-everything which is unfolded through Spirit, identified in Soul, and governed by the central Principle, then operated as the newness of Life, which shows in Truth the actuality of being-this is all going on for one big purpose. It is going on in order to fill a universal plan." This plan is the plan of Love. [Your Divinity Revealed ~ Helen M Wright] |
