“Divine Science alone can compass the heights and depths of being and reveal the infinite.” (Science and Health, page 292)
The light of Truth as revealed by the Christ is the only true gauge of the extent of good that is present and active. We will not come to understand it through scholarly attainment or through technical advancement, while these may be worthy and helpful to human development and growth.
The breadth and depth of reality can’t be compassed (encircled, grasped, fully traversed) by material sense or material science. Only the divine can fully comprehend and embrace the divine. Only the spiritual sense can perceive the boundless infinite. That which is material is by definition limited, confinable, confined. Material observation and analysis may glimpse the eternal, but it will never come to a solid conclusion about it.
But this does not leave us ignorant! It only wakens us to trust those acute spiritual senses that we naturally have to give us peace and vision. We are able to recognize that the Christ-Mind can know the glory of God’s immortal Life, and that Christian Science is revealing it to human thought every hour. We are blessed in that we recognize that the infinite ideal is that which is always true and present. And so we also know that the limited material concept is unreal, and therefore it cannot bind us or our thought.
The Christ has let us in on the secret of the universe that can’t be uncovered by astronomy, computers or human intelligence. Physics can’t enumerate or demonstrate infinite Love. But, the spiritual secret is ours to claim openly, and by claiming it, to see the influence of the boundless spiritual on what appears as our earth, our bodies, our lives. No limits!
