A thought, a seed, a flower.

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 only intelligence or substance of a thought, a seed, or a flower is God, the creator of it.” Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 507

    “To successfully treat children, cut off the parent thought. Man is the offspring of God, not man. The material birth is but the false conception. Realize that matter cannot transmit good or evil. It is inert, unintelligent, and cannot be the medium of intelligence. Seedless oranges are produced by turning the top of the parent plant back to earth, and when rooted disconnecting it. The offspring produces seedless oranges. Detach the thought of the child from the parent and the germs of erroneous seed of the parent thought will cease to impress the child.” Course in Divinity and General Collectanea, (the Blue Book), page 147

    “Seed: That from which any thing springs; first principle; original;”
    “Erroneous; false; mistaken; not conformable to truth; erring from truth or justice;”
    “Impress: To imprint; to stamp; to make a mark; to fix deep;”Webster’s 1828

    I have been using the above line from S. & H. in my prayers for children, to cut off, “..the germs of erroneous seed of the parent thought,” replacing it with affirmations such as the line above from this week’s lesson in order that the lies, “will cease to impress the child”. I love to think about the seeds God is planting in our thoughts, in the tablet of our being.
