S&H 76: 32-18

[Pilar Deblinger]

“Death will occur on the next plane of existence as on this, until the spiritual and understanding of Life is reached”.
Question: does this means that we will continue or be reborn? Until we get it?
And, “Then, and not until then, will it be demonstrated that ‘the second death has no power.’”
Question: what is the second death this sentence is alluding to?
Thank you

Unity of Good by Mary Baker Eddy, page 2 : 28-7:
Those who reach this transition, called death, without having rightly improved the lessons of this primary school of mortal existence, — and still believe in matter’s reality, pleasure, and pain, — are not ready to understand immortality. Hence they awake only to another sphere of experience, and must pass through another probationary state before it can be truly said of them: “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.”

I was praying about your questions, Pilar, and after reading a few things from Mrs. Eddy, including this last quote, I realized it does us no good to try to uncover what forms the illusion may take if we fail to learn what we need to learn here and now. Let’s all take this time we have to study and live Christian Science as fully as we are able, and hold no doubts that God is on our side and wants us to succeed!

Essays and Other Footprints, (the “Red Book”), by Mary Baker Eddy, page 70:
Keep the joy of Christian Science, and a well-grounded hope in your success. Remember as Truth progresses, error grows more subtle and aggressive, but it does not become something. It always remains an illusion, and is always met and destroyed with the understanding that divine Love is the only power. Stand guard against the effort of evil to cause things to happen that will fill you with grief, wrath, or fear, and thus shut out your sense of the allness of God.

Thank you!
