When ANY thought occurs to oneself that is NOT 100% God-like, IMMEDIATELY start reciting silently or verbally, depending on your discretion, any truth or Truth that you know. One must give 100% attention to what one is reciting and individualize it if needed. It does little or no good to recite only words in a routine fashion. It is by far better to think about what you are saying and elaborate on it as you are reciting. State it with enthusiam and conviction as if you realize your life depends on it. Your consciousness is your life as what you think is what you will experience. The object is to NOT think about people or things or events but the absolute. EVERY time you recite the same thing, if you really do it sincerely, you will expand in a different way into a different dimension, avenue, or realm of thought. Say something along this theme to yourself - this applies to me. The Mind that is talking is the Mind of God, the only Mind there is. These words are conveying substantial thoughts to me as every word is based on Sprit which is the only substance. There is NO matter since matter is the suppositional object of mortal mind and there is NO mortal mind since Mind is immortal. God is guiding me in every single thought, speech, and action. My consciousness is the Christ consciousness and is impervious to any attempted penetration by any error or evil of any kind whatsoever. This treatment is a manifestation of Mind and is effective. Nothing can interfere with the effectiveness of this treatment. Nothing can dilute, deflect, stop or reverse this treatment. God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, and infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love and I know it because God is my knowing and God knows all and I reflect the knowing of God.

Full Page | Show all | Mary Baker Eddy has defined God to be All and to be divided into seven primary categories which are Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth and Love. If one studies just one of these seven, then they are looking at one particular view of God. As one studies others, a more complete view appears in one’s consciousness. There are four sides to the city of God which are considered operators. In mathematics, the operators are add, subtract, multiply and divide. The operators of the system of divine metaphysics are named Word, Christ, Christianity and Science. Since God is infinite, it is obvious the above is only a short summary for describing the nature of God. | |

It's important to recognize the invisible attribute or invisible form of the illusion, because that is what is really tricking us. We're not even aware that it is operating, & we only see the visible form or experience the visible form.

Eddy, Mary Baker | 7 Terms for God ~ 1 Mind ~ All Source is mental ~ SH 469 [HTML 1] | HTML 1 HTML 2 | Show all | True sense of infinite Question. — What is Mind? Answer. — 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. [SH 469] |

Eddy, Mary Baker | 7 Terms for God ~ 2 Spirit ~ Real versus Unreal ~ SH 466 [HTML 1] | HTML 1 HTML 2 | Show all | Real versus Unreal Question. — What are spirits and souls? Answer. — 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. [SH 466] |

Eddy, Mary Baker | 7 Terms for God ~ 3 Soul ~ Mankind Redeemed ~ SH 466 [HTML 1] | HTML 1 HTML 2 | Show all | 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] | |

Eddy, Mary Baker | 7 Terms for God ~ 4 Principle ~ Science interprets the Principle ~ SH 376 [HTML 1] | HTML 1 HTML 2 | Show all | Principle must be stated accurately in its Science. Principle is the Principle of all sciences Principle interprets itself through its system of categories, classifications, and self-operating calculus. Principle explains itself by interpreting itself Principle is always working as a self-operating Principle. Principle proves itself through a system of ideas and interrelationships. Principle unites all into one through relationship, bringing all into relationship with Principle. [SH 376] | |

So Christian Science can be seen only as the clouds of corporeal sense roll away. The clouds Earth has little light or joy for mortals before dissolving Life is spiritually learned. Every agony of mortal error helps error to destroy error, and so aids the apprehension of immortal Truth. This is the new birth going on hourly, by which men may entertain angels, the true ideas of God, the spiritual sense of being. [SH 548] | |

Eddy, Mary Baker | 7 Terms for God ~ 6 Truth ~ Truth vs Error ~ MISC 346 [HTML 1] | HTML 1 HTML 2 | Show all | Truth versus Error ~ "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." It is a rule in Christian Science never to repeat error unless it becomes requisite to bring out Truth. Then lift the curtain, let in the light, and countermand this first command of Solomon, "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him." A distant rumbling and quivering of the earth foretell the internal action of pent-up gas. To avoid danger from this source people have to escape from their houses to the open space. A conical cloud, hanging like a horoscope in the air, foreshadows a cyclone. To escape from this calamity people prepare shelter in caves of the earth. They who discern the face of the skies cannot always discern the mental signs of these times, and peer through the opaque error. Where my vision begins and is clear, theirs grows indistinct and ends.

Can you see an enemy, except you first formulate this enemy and then look upon the object of your own conception? What is it that harms you? Can height, or depth, or any other creature separate you from the Love that is omnipresent good, — that blesses infinitely one and all? Simply count your enemy to be that which defiles, defaces, and dethrones the Christ-image that you should reflect. Whatever purifies, sanctifies, and consecrates human life, is not an enemy, however much we suffer in the process. Shakespeare writes: "Sweet are the uses of adversity." [MISC Writings ~ 8] | |

But keep your treasure in Heaven where there is neither moth nor rust to spoil it and nobody can break in and steal. For wherever your treasure is, you may be certain that your heart will be there too!" "The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If all the light you have is darkness, it is dark indeed!" "No one can be loyal to two masters. He is bound to hate one and love the other, or support one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and the power of money at the same time." "That is why I say to you, don't worry about living - wondering what you are going to eat or drink, or what you are going to wear. Surely life is more important than food, and the body more important than the clothes you wear. Look at the birds in the sky. They never sow nor reap nor store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you much more valuable to him than they are? Can any of you, however much he worries, make himself an inch taller? And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the wild flowers grow. They neither work nor weave, but I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was never arrayed like one of these! Now if God so clothes the flowers of the field, which are alive today and burnt in the stove tomorrow, is he not much more likely to clothe you, you 'little-faiths'? "So don't worry and don't keep saying, 'What shall we eat, what shall we drink or what shall we wear?! That is what pagans are always looking for; your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all. Set your heart on the kingdom and his goodness, and all these things will come to you as a matter of course. "Don't worry at all then about tomorrow. Tomorrow can take care of itself! One day's trouble is enough for one day." [MATT 6:21-34] |

We have the gospel, however, and our Master annulled material law by healing contrary to it. We propose to follow the Master's example. We should subordinate material law to spiritual law.

Man is not matter; he is not made up of brain, blood, bones, and other material elements. Scriptures inform us that man is made in the image and likeness of God. Matter is not that likeness. The likeness of Spirit cannot be so unlike Spirit. Man is spiritual and perfect; and because he is spiritual and perfect, he must be so understood in Christian Science..... See PDF for full text |

Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. [MATT 6:24-34] | ||
44 | Daily Study | Daily | Mental sculpture, Choose ye to-day, Immortal memory | Eddy, Mary Baker | Perfect Models ~ Science & Health | Show all | 1. Mental sculpture The sculptor turns from the marble to his model in order to perfect his conception. We are all sculptors, working at various forms, molding and chiseling thought. What is the model before mortal mind? Is it imperfection, joy, sorrow, sin, suffering? Have you accepted the mortal model? Are you reproducing it? Then you are haunted in your work by vicious sculptors and hideous forms. Do you not hear from all mankind of the imperfect model? The world is holding it before your gaze continually. The result is that you are liable to follow those lower patterns, limit your life- work, and adopt into your experience the angular outline and deformity of matter models. [SH 248] 2. Choose ye to-day Dear reader, which mind-picture or externalized thought shall be real to you, — the material or the spiritual? Both you cannot have. You are bringing out your own ideal. This ideal is either temporal or eternal. Either Spirit or matter is your model. If you try to have two models, then you practically have none. Like a pendulum in a clock, you will be thrown back and forth, striking the ribs of matter and swinging between the real and the unreal. [SH 360] 3. Immortal memory If delusion says, "I have lost my memory," contradict it. No faculty of Mind is lost. In Science, all being is eternal, spiritual, perfect, harmonious in every action. Let the perfect model be present in your thoughts instead of its demoralized opposite. This spiritualization of thought lets in the light, and brings the divine Mind, Life not death, into your consciousness. [SH 407] |

45 | Daily Study | Daily | Prayer, Lord\'s by Christ Jesus with Spiritual Sense by Mary Baker Eddy | Eddy, Mary Baker | Prayer, Lord's ~ SH 16-17 | Show all | Only as we rise above all material sensuousness and sin, can we reach the heaven-born aspiration and spiritual consciousness, which is indicated in the Lord's Prayer and instantaneously heals the sick. Here let me give what I understand to be the spiritual sense of the Lord's Prayer: Our Father which art in heaven, Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious, Hallowed be Thy name. Adorable One. Thy kingdom come. Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Enable us to know, — as in heaven, so on earth, — God is omnipotent, supreme. Give us this day our daily bread; Give us grace for to-day; feed the famished affections; And forgive us our debts, as And Love is reflected in love; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivereth us from sin, disease, and death. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All. [SH 16:20-17:15] |

46 | Daily Study | Daily | Matter non-existent, All is Mind, Spirit, Immortal Truth, Mortal error, False claims annihilated | Eddy, Mary Baker | Scientific Statement of Being ~ SH 468 False claims annihilated ~ SH 450 |
Show all | Question. — What is the scientific statement of being?
Answer. — There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual. [SH 468]
FALSE CLAIMS ANNIHILATED Who, that has felt the perilous beliefs in life, substance, and intelligence separated from God, can say that there is no error of belief? Knowing the claim of animal magnetism, that all evil combines in the belief of life, substance, and intelligence in matter, electricity, animal nature, and organic life, who will deny that these are the errors which Truth must and will annihilate? Christian Scientists must live under the constant pressure of the apostolic command to come out from the material world and be separate. They must renounce aggression, oppression and the pride of power. Christianity, with the crown of Love upon her brow, must be their queen of life. |

48 | Daily Study | Daily | Doctrinal beliefs, Bible, Supreme God, Divine Comforter | Eddy, Mary Baker | Tenets ~ Religious Tenets of Christian Science | Show all | Question. — Have Christian Scientists any religious creed? Answer. — They have not, if by that term is meant doctrinal beliefs. The following is a brief exposition of the religious tenets of Christian Science: 1. As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life. 2. We acknowledge and adore one supreme and infinite God. We acknowledge His Son, one Christ; the Holy Ghost or divine Comforter; and man in God's image and likeness. 3. We acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin in the destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal. But the belief in sin is punished so long as the belief lasts. 4. We acknowledge Jesus' atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man's unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; and we acknowledge that man is saved through Christ, through Truth, Life, and Love as demonstrated by the Galilean Prophet in healing the sick and overcoming sin and death. 5. We acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection served to uplift faith to understand eternal Life, even the allness of Soul, Spirit, and the nothingness of matter. 6. And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as we would have them do unto us; and to be merciful, just, and pure. [SH 497] |

49 | Daily Study | Daily | God, Individual, Incorporeal, Principle, Love, Cause, Creator, Spirit, Mind | Eddy, Mary Baker | The Universal cause ~ Platform - Plank 6 ~ SH 331 | Show all | God is individual, incorporeal. He is divine Principle, Love, the universal cause, the only creator, and there is no other self-existence. He is all- The universal inclusive, and is reflected by all that is real cause and eternal and by nothing else. He fills all space, and it is impossible to conceive of such omnipresence and individuality except as infinite Spirit or Mind. Hence all is Spirit and spiritual. [SH 331] | ||
50 | Daily Study | Daily | Ascended throne, Inability to rule, Asked God for Wisdom | Solomon, King | Wisdom ~ King Solomon ~ 1 Kings 3,4 | Show all | When Solomon ascended to the throne, he sought after God, and God gave him opportunity to ask for whatever he wanted. Solomon humbly acknowledged his inability to rule well and unselfishly asked God for wisdom. God gave him wisdom and wealth besides (1 Kings 3:4–15; 10:27). In fact, “King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth”(1 Kings 10:23). God also gave Solomon peace on all sides during most of his reign (1 Kings 4:20–25). |
