Shape our views.

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!

    “Life is eternal. We should find this out, and begin the demonstration thereof. Life and goodness are immortal. Let us then shape our views of existence into loveliness, freshness, and continuity, rather than into age and blight.” from Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 246

    This lesson perfectly follows last week’s Bible lesson and the coordinating Roundtable. We are to see as God sees us and all creation – “shape our views” in line with Christian Science. It brought joy to review the meanings of the following words to gain a deeper appreciation of what God has created.
    “Continuity: Connection uninterrupted, ceaseless.
    Freshness: Not stale, sour, decayed; unimpaired, not altered, made anew, free from taint.
    Loveliness: Harmony, lovable, beauty.”
    (form Websters 1828 Dictionary)

    Mortals and immortals, what does God know about this? I saw this mortal mind constantly projecting its own mirage-world or creation of discords, sin, disease and death, war and sufferings untold. When I saw a room full of people receiving chemo therapy, poison poured into their veins, my soul cried out, O my God, how far have we strayed! From You, source of all goodness and blessing! The divine Mind could ask: where is there something wrong? Is it here? That is impossible, because I am here, omnipresent Good. Is it over there? No way, I am there too. I am everywhere mortal mind is not. Mortal mind is the omni-absence of Omnipresence. God’s thoughts should be omnipresent in my mind, creating in me a kingdom of harmony and health. When we think as God thinks, we find God taking place. It all takes place in our inner being, or thinking and feeling. Omnipresence is omnipotence, Truth and Love, All-in-all. For of Mind, and through Mind, and to Mind, is All. (Romans 11:36.) Thank God we have not to struggle with matter, or with a reality. We just must allow Mind to be omnipresent as us. find yourself as Mind.

    Wait patiently for divine Love to move upon the water of mortal mind, … 454.
