“Time tables of birth and death are so many conspiracies against manhood and womanhood.” (Science and Health, page 246)

Do we really need to buy into and support the conspiracies against us? Is it wise to support these accusations with our fear and preoccupation? Isn’t it much more right and freeing and satisfying to deny the validity of those limits and really live our lives, fully, thoroughly, and joyfully?

The time tables that mortal mind would set up and the human thought would believe are boxing us into a corner needlessly. The sense of man and woman as being born into a material life only to struggle through it with a mere hope of prolonging it, condemns each moment to fear and limitation. Our birth date does not define our life, our well-being, our daily promise of success and health and goodness and fullness of being.

Let us look away from the phases of mortal life (set up by a liar) and claim the truth of our immortal life, that which is consistently one with God and true to His ideal. We are established and governed not by the stars, by a trip around the sun, or by a material picture of what life must be for us at this or that stage of experience. Divine Life is not boxed in by time, but annuls that concept in its own infinity. We are free to dismiss those conspiracy theories as irrational, give up the paranoia, and take hold of the Truth of our glorious and glorified and limitless life and rejoice!

“For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:” (II Corinthians 5:2)

Our most inward selves yearn for spiritual being. Our hearts continue to hope for that which truly satisfies and settles us into ourselves. Mortals may seek material things, material accomplishments, material success and possessions. But this seeking can never deeply satisfy us. We want more and we deserve more.

The spiritual clothing is that heavenly vesture that is always whole and holy, always sufficient to warm us and beautify us, because it has no flaw in it, no limit to it. And this heavenly garment fits us, for it is the very truth about us. It is God’s graceful protecting and adorning, His idea created to perfection and carried out with elegant ease.

The material body that we seem to be confined to has nothing to do with the “house,” that temple of being that is our true abiding place. This state of being contains every right quality, with no possibility of loss, a precision that assures comfort as well as loveliness and joy. This house, this heavenly body and life, is a perfect fit and our only real condition and status. We yearn for this place, this perfect oneness with God, and our plea is met with the Truth: you are there!

“Jesus’ life proved, divinely and scientifically, that God is Love, whereas priest and rabbi affirmed God to be a mighty potentate, who loves and hates.” (Science and Health, page 42)

Jesus knew God truly. This God with which he was always consciously at one, made it possible for him to heal spontaneously, to teach with a wisdom that has held up through the centuries and across cultural boundaries, and to ultimately prove that life was deathless and immortal. He was the Messiah, the messenger of that Christ-ideal, because he declared Truth, and that Truth was Love.

The religious leaders preceding Jesus had a different understanding of God. They certainly recognized God as One and as powerful. They worshipped with their obedient lives and according to their highest sense of religious practice. They saw God’s might and honored it. But the character of the Almighty was still more or less based on a human model, a king who was sometimes good and sometimes despotic, who alternately loved and hated, brought war and brought peace.

Jesus knew God to be Love alone and that Love to be All. He understood His Father-Mother not as an incomprehensible ruler, one Who could not be fully understood, one Who was variable and capable of hate. Jesus knew God was pure Love, and this is why he was able to prove all that he did, to heal, to overcome lack, to still storms, and to demonstrate death conquered. It was the understanding of divine Love’s presence that made this all possible, and this same God that makes all things possible today. We can always trust Love to be Love.

“Mind is not helpless. Intelligence is not mute before non-intelligence.” (Science and Health, page 191)

Divine Mind is wise and active. Divine Mind does not remain silent before error or allow ignorance to continue. The intelligence that is God, the one and only Mind that made all things, does not go blank in the face of evil, sickness, or discord. It does not become fearful and jump to conclusions based on the lies that matter tells.

Mind is our ever-present help and its intelligence is immediate action. Divine Mind’s wisdom is Love that removes the ignorance and fear and reveals the harmony at hand. We have this divine intelligence forever as our very own, for we are forever at one with God. We have this natural and powerful discernment of reality, and a certainty that God is All and in all.

Matter (non-intelligence) can’t make conditions for us or speak louder than the Truth. That which is conscious conscientiousness does not miss a detail in maintaining and sustaining perfection. We needn’t agree to a helpless mind that stands mute before the bluster of matter’s accusations. Instead, let us realize that active and potent Presence that knows all and knows that it is well.

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;…And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.” (I John 1: 1, 4)

The revelation of God’s Truth in our lives is a precious thing. We have been listening and so we are hearing that Word of life that is the very holy message that the disciples heard and that Jesus expressed. His proof of the unreality of material life and the everlasting nature of Spirit as Life is ours to hold and behold.

We, too, have received that healing truth of being and touched it, grasped it and felt it touch our own hearts and relieve our bodies. And we, with the disciples, know that it was true from the beginning and that we are still listening. The simple Principle, Truth, God, out of which all life proceeds, continues to remain firm and fixed, provable, reliable and completely loving. We have Jesus’s example, as well as the apostles’ faith and continued proofs as our own starting point.

That which the apostles heard and saw they could not contain or hoard. And their sharing was not in order that we struggle and be uncomfortable, toil and worry over it all. They shared with us what they knew (and we listened) so that our “joy may be full.” They echoed Jesus’ words and wishes in this. It is for our joy that we have witnessed the Christ, the practical Truth that walks the earth today through our own demonstrations, in our own loving and good lives, and in our grateful and open hearts.

“Mortals develop their own bodies or make them sick, according as they influence them through mortal mind. To know whether this development is produced consciously or unconsciously, is of less importance than a knowledge of the fact.” (Science and Health, page 199)

Mortal mind claims a material body and gives it characteristics, conditions, and abilities. Matter is a creation of mortal mind, and so that physical sense we may accept for ourselves is just a figment of that false mind’s imagination. When we accept mortal thoughts and ourselves as mortals, we may seem to experience the results of those fears and limits.

But we can know ourselves truly and so express those bodies that belong wholly to the consciousness of Mind, that which does not merely imagine, but which knows and expresses truly. In this acceptance of our immortal Mind as knowing every right thing concerning us, we are able to “develop” our bodies in a way that evidences the truth about us, that spiritual perfection that is here to be realized.

Let’s not get hung up on whether or not we are subconsciously or consciously accepting a lie about our identity. It only leads to an unnecessary preoccupation with mortal mind, wherein there is no healing element at all. Be aware only that the mortal mind would seek to present to us something that is entirely false, based on a premise that begins with a lie and must end with an untruth. Let’s give up this belief in a mortal mind and a mortal body altogether, and let ourselves be what our Mind made us to be, and keeps us to be—perfect, harmonious, beautiful, and at peace.

“…God is all, therefore…matter is nothing beyond an image in mortal mind.” (Science and Health, page 116)

Matter simply has no place or ability to be anything besides a delusion, illusion. God is All and in all. He is not made of matter nor does He express in quality a single limitation. Material substance must always be finite. Spiritual substance (reality) is always infinite, always available, always right.

Mortal thinking—that which denies the Truth but never changes it—would prop up another god to justify its fears and doubts and pains and limits. Matter is that god and it is just as unreal and powerless as were the graven images that were worshipped in days of old. Matter and its so-called laws have nothing to do with reality, and so they only apply to their own nothingness, never to man and his nature, worth, and life.

Leave the material image to mortal mind and let it have its dream. You are not a mortal. You are in possession of an awakened mind, one which knows God’s own consciousness, the very expressed idea of the universe. We are aware of Spirit and we know that its laws are loving, freeing, and supreme over all. The illusion has no power to change God’s intelligence and love, and so it isn’t an image we ever need to dwell on or accept. Instead, let’s realize our unconfined nature, our spiritual life, and that which is fully awake to blessings and ready always for gratitude and joy!

“As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.” (Psalms 18: 30)

Our protection is God’s faithful word. His goodness and love, His presence behind us and before us, has kept us shielded forever from harm, from trouble, from accusation. God knows us and He knows the way in which He takes us. He knows the road we traveled and the road we go forth on today. He has set all things down in a perfect way, and He will never allow us to stray into danger, out of Life, Truth and Love.

We can rest in His awareness, His conscious conscientiousness, His guard of our goodness and our lives. That buckler, that shield, remains always ours to hide behind, as well as to fight with. The Truth deflects the arrows of error. We remain secure, for God is secure and we are never separate from His care, from His presence, from His Mind and Life. We are safe.

Let’s trust that tender Father-Mother-Guardian to keep us perfect, innocent, and always on the right path. He has our backs, our fronts, our everything! We are never alone fighting an enemy nor wrestling with the fear of one. Divine Love, forever faithful, is with us, embracing, defending, and uplifting us to the realization of our present and eternal victory!

“Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” (John 20: 29)

Thomas needed to see materially in order to believe the truth of Jesus’s divine sonship and of life spiritual and immortal. He was not a bad apostle because of his doubting and questioning, but Jesus did admonish him in a way for believing that only the senses could report to him reality.

Jesus understood that believing spiritual sense rather than and even in spite of the material senses and their presentations, was a blessing. He saw those apostles and other followers who could simply honor the Truth because it spoke in their hearts and then stay with that in praise and gratitude, were gaining the greater good for it. Their spiritual perception, their soul-senses giving them the assurance and inspiration, was a blessing without measure or condition, and it set them free.

Let us show the doubting Thomas in ourselves and in others some mercy as they continue to ask for active evidence of heaven in body and in life. This doubt itself can lead to answers to that essential and eventual clarity. But let us also seek to quell that need to have material proofs of what matter has no capacity to prove—Truth, Life, and Love. We have not seen Jesus in the flesh, and yet we know he gave us the supreme demonstration of life everlasting. So, simply believe, and be blessed.

“To the burdened and weary, Jesus saith: ‘Come unto me.’ O glorious hope! there remaineth a rest for the righteous, a rest in Christ, a peace in Love. The thought of it stills complaint; the heaving surf of life’s troubled sea foams itself away, and underneath is a deep-settled calm.” (Message for 1902, by Mary Baker Eddy p. 19)

The thrashing waves of sense are ready for a calming. The burdens that seem to weigh us down are ready to be lifted, and our peace revealed. That true serenity is always ours to know, and, in fact, it is always our true state of being. We can claim that sweet gentleness within, and know that we need seek no farther for it than our own heart of hearts. Even the thought of it settles us.

We do have our rest at hand, our comfortable steadiness and safety readily available. This irresistible Christ is within us, naturally and necessarily calming fear and showing us our security. Seek and find that calm that is deep-settled, that endures within us even when the senses and human fears want to rile us and wrestle us down. We have that pure peace, it is always ours and we can recognize and claim it in spite of the lies of mortal mind, because we know the Christ-promise is true.

And knowing that our God is indeed All and always with us, we discover our hope. And our hope is glorious, uplifting us to the true consciousness, that real perception of heaven here and now, peaceful and powerful in its peacefulness. The sweet voice within that says “all is well” can be heard and accepted. All is well. Christ tells the Truth, and all the raging, foaming, fury of material sense must obey, be still, and we must have our righteous rest in Love.
