The Reality of Things

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!

    The lyrics of this song are enlightening and helpful to me — they clarify responsibility and privilege. Thank God that we have the Way, and our Wayshowers, Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy. And thank you, Plainfield, Peter, Faith, and Jared, for this wonderful song.

    “The Christian Scientist is alone with his own being and with the reality of things.” Mary Baker Eddy, Message for 1901 20:8-9, Mental Malpractice

    The Reality of Things by Peter Kidd, performed by Faith and Jared

    I know that You’ve heard me, and
    I know that You love me.
    Is there anything more to be said?
    If you ask your Father for bread
    Will He give you a stone?
    It’s my faithlessness that stings.
    I’m alone with my own being
    And the reality of things.

    There is not an out there.
    For out there is within mind [meaning here: small m—consciousness—or Mind].

    So then what is this terrible foe?
    Tell me, how have I come to know
    Something that can’t be known?
    Bit by bit, imagining.

    I’m alone with my own being
    And the reality of things.

    Alone, but not a solitary being.
    For insofar as all creation is one,
    There is no separation between me
    and all I see,
    And nothing needs to be undone.

    Give me clearer vision.

    I know that You’ver heard me,
    that You and I are one,
    And I know that You love me
    (what is Love?).
    Is there anything more to be said?
    If you ask your Father for bread
    Will He give you a stone?
    It’s my faithlessness that stings.
    I’m alone with my own being
    And the reality of things.
