Enlarged individuality

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 scientific sense of being, forsaking matter for Spirit, by no means suggests man’s absorption into Deity and the loss of his identity, but confers upon man enlarged individuality, a wider sphere of thought and action, a more expansive love, a higher and more permanent peace.

    There have been many times before coming to Plainfield where my world felt like it was getting smaller and smaller. These times brought more indecision, more fear, less love, and a feeling of being lost and alone in a chaotic world. This statement, taken in reverse, shows exactly why that happened: I was forsaking Spirit for matter. It was like looking in the wrong end of a telescope.

    It also shows why my time studying and living Christian Science here has opened my thought, my heart, and my world to such inspiration, opportunity, and blessings. I am so grateful to God for this wonderful increase that has been brought about here! Thank you!
