The definition of YOU

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!

    “MAN. The compound idea of infinite Spirit; the spiritual image and likeness of God; the full representation of Mind.” (S&H) As we have been taught here it is always good to remember when Mrs. Eddy refers to “man” in our textbook, she is referring to YOU! So therefore, YOU are the combined ideas of infinite Spirit – in all its beauty and radiance and immortality! YOU are God’s very image and likeness! All that Mind is and represents YOU are! If you accept this as the Truth of your being (which it is!), how can YOU ever feel sick, downcast, ugly, stupid, tongue tied, lonely, misplaced or any of the other lies error tries to pin upon you? It would be impossible! So, remember who and what YOU are and don’t ever come down from your high estate as a beloved child of God!

    Thanks for this post!
    When at first we cannot take in this precious identity, we must at least be willing to accept and obey what has been given, until we understand and take it into our hearts. Past history does argue and dissuade but our obedience to God is required for our own sake.
    Through strong, consistent and persistent correct identifying we then take possession of the dominion that is ours and with it we begin to see the aggressive lies’ for what they are. We gain greater conviction of what is true about us and that reveals the nothingness and powerlessness of evil of every sort; physical, financial or mental. The constant reminders here about who we are is invaluable, since without it what would we be defending when error rears its ugly head? It is a wonderful motivation to know that doing our part is blessing the whole of humanity.
