Spiritual Being

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!

    “When we learn the way in Christian Science and recognize man’s spiritual being, we shall behold and understand God’s creation, — all the glories of earth and heaven and man.”

    I have been thinking a lot about our spiritual being and Martha Wilcox explains how to translate what looks like matter back to its true form — Spirit, found starting at page 353 in her Addresses. She quotes Mrs. Eddy often helping us to understand what matter really is. One idea I like on page 361 states, “Jesus translated spiritual ideas, or spiritual facts, into loaves and fishes for the multitudes; into tax money for Peter; into wine for the wedding feast.” “This is ‘translation’ from the opposite viewpoint” which I find very helpful.

    This Spiritual Being is the Truth of Being she refers to and emphasizes in Science and Health pg 418:5-6 Stick to the truth of being in contradistinction to the error that life, substance, or intelligence can be in matter.
    After many years of obeying this Truth about who “man” is, as God’s image and likeness, knowing myself as a Spiritual Being started to become more “normal,” and the opposite of being, as a material being began to yield. It is what helps us overcome the material laws that present as dominating us.

    Mrs. Eddy also gave us the Treatment For Everyday to help us think rightly about who we are..an excerpt from it is:
    1.Every time you declare you are perfect in God, there goes through the body a health giving power.
    When you realize this truth of truths, that you are now, not will be perfect in God, without a single doubt, wonderful changes will come to pass.
    But let me urge you, however difficult it may seem, to declare times without number, that you are perfect, joyful, triumphant and complete.

    What is perfect in God is our Spiritual Being, our True Being, that which is of God.
