SOME KEY POINTS 

1. If one desires any topic in which they desire to have a permanent foundation, then Principle is the operative word, which is the 4th term for God in the order of spiritual development. 

2. How do we obtain a true spiritual foundation? Mary Baker Eddy, in her usage of the term ~ creative ability ~ which gives us the function needed to start building the foundation ~ she assigns it to the synonymous term for God, which is Mind. 

3. The term ~ creates ~ is assigned to both the term Mind & Spirit, because Spirit is substance. So, you must have a foundation based on the substance of Spirit if you expect it to be of permanent value.

4. Mind being the ~ creative ability ~ is where we must look in order to build a true foundation. 


5. Principle is the core ~ the center of all structure & system. Therefore, Mind, Spirit, Soul, Life, Truth & Love ~ all 6 ~ branch out from Principle, & everything connects to it. Principle is always in balance & therefore always harmonious. But that is only th...e case if each of the other 6 synonymous terms for God are involved in the structure, the foundation, or the principle. Otherwise it is not in balance & it will not be harmonious.

6. Mary Baker Eddy assigns the words ~ idea & ideal ~ to both Mind & Principle.

7. We could think of Mind as generating ~ the idea ~ Principle as holding ~ the idea ~ as a part of the foundation to Truth. So the ~ ideal idea ~ is a result of the interaction between Mind, Principle & Truth.


8. In many of the prayer treatments that the Mary Baker Eddy Institute (MBEI) provides, there is discussion about the interaction of the 7 synonyms & how they are all connected as one grand complete operation & functionality of God, along with the 4 operators & 4 levels.

9. Mary Baker Eddy used another term for Mind which is ~ all faculty ~ & that really includes ~ capacity, capability, functionality, action, & facility. Those together bring about performance & that is measured as power.

10. Mind is incorporeal, divine, supreme, & infinite. Those 4 terms also apply to the other 6 synonymous terms to define God. These terms are adjectives to explain the characteristics of the other 6 terms for God which are Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth & Love.
