25 Pages ~ As we gain in understanding of God, if we are not the same Mind making the same understanding of individual being — our being, God is still a theory. What is the difference between theory and reality? A theory is something believed but not necessarily used or lived. Reality is being what one understands. It is realistic Being. In Christian Science it means understanding God, thus demonstrating I AM individually, instead of merely believing in God. 

Mary Baker Eddy says in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, “If God were understood instead of being merely believed, this understanding would
establish health.”
Much may be accomplished for the Cause of Christian Science and the world today by the individual who is knowing and being the one Mind. Because he understands his being to be the individual appearing or manifestation of God, this individual works effectively, with power. He looses a sense of himself as having a mind separate from God. He feels sure of his work and he speaks with authority, whether it is a belief of sin, disease, death or warring nations he is handling. One does not feel that his work is futile if the suggestion should come, “What can your thinking do among so many?” He knows better than that because he is gaining a new meaning of “One with God is a majority,” as we read in Miscellaneous Writings. He knows his consciousness is God.
