The supposed existence

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!

    “The supposed existence of more than one mind was the basic error of idolatry. This error assumed the loss of spiritual power, the loss of the spiritual presence of Life as infinite Truth without an unlikeness, and the loss of Love as ever present and universal.” (S&H) This statement is such a powerful one. Every time I accept the supposed existence of more than one mind – I suffer the loss of (in belief) 1) spiritual power, 2) the spiritual presence of Life as infinite Truth without an unlikeness and 3) Love as ever present and universal. That is quite a loss!! I can see how important it is to be constantly identifying myself and all mankind with the one and only Christ mind – no matter what the material picture may seem to be there is only one Mind and God Good reigns supreme over all! Knowing this Truth will bring it into focus. Mrs. Eddy has said, “Right thought must manifest itself.”

    Thank you, Marybeth, for highlighting this statement.
    I also read in Essays and Other Footprints (the Red Book), by Mary Baker Eddy pg.89:
    “The power of right thought is the thinking of that thought. I have perfect confidence in my right thought for I know it can do everything for me. (A person can hold a thought not longer than three seconds; therefore we must repeat.)”

    I can see that it is necessary to be alert to every thought and to correct our thinking to that which is true only. I am so grateful that we have been told the Truth about who we really are and what Life really is. We have been given the pathway of freedom from evil and we will claim the Truth and our freedom now with joy, energy and vitality!!
