"Perception of infinite possibilities."

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!

    “Through all the disciples experienced, they became more spiritual and understood better what the Master had taught. His resurrection was also their resurrection. It helped them to raise themselves and others from spiritual dulness and blind belief in God into the perception of infinite possibilities.” Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy page 34 : 18-9

    “RESURRECTION. Spiritualization of thought; a new and higher idea of immortality, or spiritual existence; material belief yielding to spiritual understanding.” S. & H. page 593

    “…spiritualization of thought is not attained by the death of the body, but by a conscious union with God.” Miscellaneous Writings by Mary Baker Eddy page 42

    “Spiritualize:To purify from the feculences (Muddiness; foulness) of the world;” (Websters 1828)

    From last week’s lesson and included in the instruction from our Roundtable: “In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error, — self-will, self-justification, and self-love, — which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death.”S.&H. page 242

    In the lesson this week we read in Matthew that Pilate, “knew that for envy they had delivered him.”

    This struck me that indulging in self-will, self-justification, and self-love I am attacking the Christ consciousness and “conscious (aware of and responding to; awake) union with God”

    I can instead participate in the resurrection by “Spiritualization of thought” and “christianization of daily life” as Mrs. Eddy instructs with the many practical tools given here.
