The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

This statement implies that God’s likeness, perfection, is not something that will come at some undisclosed future time, but is a present reality, and that it is something to be awake to.

Thanks for this post. This is such a valuable reminder since it is easy to think that we declare the Truth etc. for something to be changed in the future. What has helped me is the premise which Mrs. Eddy reminds us to begin from, from Perfection! Also the spiritual fact that Perfect God, Perfect man is the basis of thought and demonstration, S&H. This leaves us then with the awakening to, the realization or the revealing of the present perfection to become clear for us as a result for the work we do. God made everything already, and perfectly, so. All the “purifying of thought” allows the transparency of thought for the correct view of things to appear.
