Come naturally into Spirit.

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!

    “Emerge gently from matter into Spirit. Think not to thwart the spiritual ultimate of all things, but come naturally into Spirit through better health and morals and as the result of spiritual growth.” by Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health, page 485

    “Emerge: To rise out of… That is–emerging from the deep. To reappear, after being eclipsed; To rise out of a state of depression or obscurity; to rise into view; as, to emerge from poverty or obscurity; to emerge from the gloom of despondency.”(Websters 1828 Dictionary)

    Before coming to Plainfield “emerge gently” was a way to explain my lack of progress and healing. On the other hand I also had the opposite idea that if I read or said absolute Truths that was Christian Science but I think it was trying to “thwart” the process. Since coming here and working with a Plainfield practitioner and participating I have been given solid building blocks. This practical application it is more of a step by step, precept by precept. “Emerge gently” means to show what you know by daily bringing my thinking, attitude, behaviors in line with God. While this requires great persistence, honesty, and discipline. It is more “natural” and has resulted in better “health and morals” of which I am very grateful.
