“Man reflects infinite Truth, Life, and Love.” (Science and Health, page 94)

The true man, the man that you are, is the reflection of that which is limitless and wonderful. We not only have the qualities of goodness that God has created us to express, we have them fully, enduringly, eternally, infinitely. Life, Truth, and Love are boundless and we abound in them naturally.

Reflection does not own its attributes. Reflection—man–is not the possessor of the substance of Spirit, God. This unlimited good is safe in the Original, in God, in Mind, in the Father-Mother-Creator. Nothing good can be lost nor can it be limited by a false sense of personality, materiality, circumstance, geography. We are always as big in goodness as God is, for we reflect His changeless perfection.

Don’t belittle yourself or anyone else. Man expresses infinite Being. He is Love at its fullest, Life without beginning or end, and Truth triumphant, pure, and unopposed. We are God’s own image, His idea expressed without reservation, condition, or obstruction. There is no partialness to this expression, nothing pared down, diminished, or meager. Truth, Life, and Love are infinite, ever-present, and the very nature of you and of me!

“Hear these imperative commands: ‘Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect!’ ‘Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature!’ ‘Heal the sick!’” (Science and Health, page 37)

These commands to each of us are imperative! We absolutely must obey, because we were made to do so. Our duty to God and man is based on our own readiness and rightness for the job. As God’s own ideas, we cannot possibly go forth promoting error or even keeping silent or apathetic about the good that is ours to live and to prove.

We were made in His image and likeness, perfect and therefore perfectly capable of radiating that light of goodness throughout the world, bringing our heavenly awareness to our ready earth. Neither Jesus nor Mary Baker Eddy was tentative about this declaration of who we are and what our calling is. They knew the power of divine reflection, and the necessity of bearing God’s standard forth eagerly and expectantly into the world.

Imperative: “absolutely necessary or required; unavoidable.” There’s no way to escape it! Our perfection and its demonstration are both entirely natural and absolutely necessary. Let’s get about being who we were formed to be—powerful ideas of God, actively proving His presence, His goodness, and His all-embracing Love. It’s our calling and our blessing.

“In some way, sooner or later, all must rise superior to materiality, and suffering is often the divine agent in this elevation.” (Science and Health, page 444)

We have been given the kingdom. The spiritual sense of Life is ours to claim naturally and to enjoy fully. We must come to recognize the limits the mortal mind has seemed to place on our gracious and grateful reception of all that belongs to us. In order to do this, sometimes there may seem to be suffering. It isn’t punishment, but a “divine agent” to our “elevation.”

God’s Love will not let us continue to stay confined to a material sense of life and its unfair limits. This true Love requires that we give up any familiar comfort with that which is less than right and less than satisfying for us. We were formed by God to be His perfect expression, to radiate His glory and announce His goodness. We cannot truly do this if we are still content with living a lie.

The seeming suffering cannot harm our true state. It cannot touch who we are. It can only force us to give up the wrong thinking and acting, that which limits our loveliness, and to come to know the better, higher, and holier way. We can cease the suffering sense as we consciously recognize who God is and Who we are naturally as His children, and refuse to see or be anything less. The discomfort in matter and the dissatisfaction with material life can only lead us necessarily into the Comforter’s arms, into the real Truth of our Life as spiritual, full, satisfying, pure, and free.

“Human will-power is not Science. Human will belongs to the so-called material senses, and its use is to be condemned.” (Science and Health, page 144)

Christian Science is not based on human will. It is not forcing the human mind to think something or do something. It is not one person willing another person or oneself to be better. Human will is not only an unfruitful approach to thorough and lasting healing and human betterment, it is a form of hypnotism, an activity of the mortal mind, and it disobeys and dishonors the One Mind, God.

It may seem at times that we need to rely on human will to get us where we need to go, to discipline ourselves, or to achieve a certain result. But human will is not wisdom, only material effort. It does not come of what is really right and what is truly powerful, but merely of material reliance which is by nature limited. This method cannot bring us the natural freedom and satisfying life that is our own ready inheritance to claim.

Yield up that belief in your own personal will or the reliance on another to bring about results. Your heaven rests easily on the divine will, and that will is always actively at hand. We must give up the sense that we are little individual minds striving through human effort to be more godlike. Instead, the answer and peace and resolution come by releasing ourselves to the divine will, that which is not human desire, but spiritual rightness. This sweet and powerful impulse of divine wisdom must unfold life according to that which is not only good, but which is perfectly, naturally, right for us and for all.

“For we walk by faith, not by sight:” (II Corinthians 5: 7)

As we love and adore God and recognize the Christ–the Truth come to earthly beliefs– we can no longer judge our lives or anyone else’s by appearances. We can’t take what the senses feed us as an indication of how well we are doing or what our potential is for life. We can’t take our steps merely according to what seems humanly right. Instead, we walk, live, give, express through our reliance on God’s own clear and flawless Truth.

Sense testimony is a blind guide, and we have a more confident one. Our faith, our reliance on and love of good, God, Mind, opens our spiritual eyes to limitless reality. As we give up the limits that personal sense erects for the broad horizons of Soul’s viewpoint, we are able to experience the Life God has designed for us, one that is abundant in good, suitable to us, and pleasing.

We are followers of our Guide, our Shepherd. We walk with Him, trusting not what human opinions or material testimony would attempt to project for our acceptance. Instead, we walk in the sweet simplicity of a child, reliant on his own Father and Mother to take us where we need to go, to show us what we need to know, and to love us forward with a gentle insistence that is just right.

“Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.” (Psalms 147: 7-8)

It’s time to sing for our supper! Let’s join together in praise and joyous harmony for the gift of God’s grace, His abundant love, and His precious promises ripe for the claiming. Let’s sing forth our gratitude in our conscious awareness of His goodness. Let us love the good we do see and be awake to even that which we do not see.

Creation lives and moves according to God’s will, His loving intention, His order, and His limitless design. God is everywhere and His fullness is ever active, so His qualities are always at hand for us to accept and to relish. We can and must be grateful for that which is real and right and present. The awareness of our abundance is our key to receiving it and to sharing it.

God has never been anything but plentiful. The belief in lack is a belief alone and does not affect in any degree the boundless Principle. Let’s sing the song of gratitude for the grandeur of comfort and love, of security and peace, of fun and freedom, for wisdom and health and agility and energy. These are God expressed and so they are ours today and every day. Let us breathe in the aroma of His beautiful gifts, and dine together on the meat of His always ready, always right, always satisfying goodness and love.

The happiest of Thanksgivings to you all!

“Perfect and infinite Mind enthroned is heaven. The evil beliefs which originate in mortals are hell.” (Science and Health, page 266)

Heaven is God’s supremacy acknowledged and obeyed. Hell is giving to mortal thought a power it isn’t worthy of and can’t handle. Any hellish experience is dwelling in and dwelling on that which would suggest that there is an opposition to Allness, to pure goodness, Life and Love. This hell isn’t a real place or a real condition, and it isn’t something we are stuck with, even temporarily.

The infinite Mind has guaranteed that our heaven is at hand. The eternal and true nature of God and His perfect goodness, gives us a certain and ready access to peace and harmony. The thought is the thing. We can believe in and fight and argue with and succumb to evil beliefs, writhing in the hell of our own acceptance. Or, we can choose to enter into the heaven of His consciousness and find joy and peace.

It is not mere positive thinking. It is a clearing out of evil thoughts by yielding to the solid and sustaining Truth of Life as not at the mercy of matter or error. It is an agreement to believe and worship good, God, and to disbelieve and give up the acceptance of anything less than what He is and what we deserve to experience. We must enthrone God, perfect good, in our thought, give it full authority and trust. Heaven is ours because we are God’s own ideas never out of His sight, and our natural state of being is harmonious, lovely, and free.

“The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul, to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony.” (Science and Health, page 247)

Soul is God’s conscious awareness of Himself, all that constitutes Life as it really is. We are privy to this true perspective, are able to relax into and release ourselves to that freeing sense of life that is true beauty and satisfaction. We can beat a hasty and joyous retreat from the belief that everything we experience is related to our body and its sensations.

Life is more beautiful than that. We are more beautiful than that. The pleasures and pains of sense are illusions, never solid or reliable Truth, never the arbiters of how we are doing or of who we are. Soul brings to what may be a wrong sense of body, a limitless concept of it—man unfettered from that belief that his body is his life and that it contains his freedom or his slavery.

We are under God. Our being is forever beautiful because it is radiant reflection, not a clod of matter whose sensations can bring agony or ecstasy. We can see and know ourselves truly, see our faces clearly, recognize our grace and loveliness, when we leave that illusion of matter body for the body of ideas that constitutes our changeless identity as the accurate expression of God’s own magnificence!

“This Soul-sense comes to the human mind when the latter yields to the divine Mind. Such intuitions reveal whatever constitutes and perpetuates harmony, enabling one to do good, but not evil.” (Science and Health, page 84)

Our Soul-sense is keen and clear and at the ready. This true intuitiveness comes not of human wisdom or insight, but of divine revelation. The divine Mind is always right and always actively proving that rightness. Our rest in this day and in the days to come is to acknowledge that One Mind as infinite and yield the willful human mind to God’s sweet direction and harmonious resolutions.

We know our Soul-sense is at work for us when we feel that sense of peace and freedom that such intuitions must necessarily bring. The impersonal and yet so individually right thoughts that come to us as we listen faithfully, may or may not seem logical or realistic in a human sense. They may not meet the test of “pro” versus “con.”

Instead, these Soul-inspirations come of God, and therefore have no such limits upon them, no opinion to discourage them, and no negative side to them. They simply are right, and being right, they are true, reliable, and provable. As we stop the sense of a personal mind with its personal obstacles and weaknesses and intelligence, we can hear and feel these deep and true intuitions, that can never harm us or anyone and which bring us satisfaction, peace, and rest.

“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” (Ephesians 6: 16)

Our protection against the attacks of materiality and its limits and lies, is our faith in the Truth. The reliance on and belief in God, good, the great I AM of all Life, gives us everything necessary to deflect evil’s accusations. As we know the omnipotent ever-presence of good, Truth, the insistent battering of the lies does not concern us and cannot paralyze us. Our trust is well-settled in God’s authority and goodness and purpose.

This “shield of faith” is our daily identification with God, our awareness of Him and of our own presence with Him. We can conscientiously realize the Principle that is infallibly loving, sustaining, and saving. We can actively draw close to that divine Principle of our Life that does not fear the taunts of material sense or evil purposes, because in that Truth our innocence is found and kept intact.

The fiery darts of mortal opinions, of false judgments, of the doom of time and circumstance, are quenched in this protective embrace, washed away in the refreshing reality of Love. Nothing can harm us, for our faith is well-placed. Our Father-Mother is faithful to us, and we are the faithful reflection of His infinite and perfect and safe and triumphant Life!
