Scientific Statement of Being

“Question.—What is the Scientific Statement of Being?

Answer.—There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is his image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.”¹ by Mary Baker Eddy

Life is eternal. It has no beginning and no ending. This was proven by Christ Jesus over 2,000 years ago when hatred tried to crucify Love. He proved the impossibility of killing Life. He proved over and over that life isn’t in a mortal material body. He proved that no disease, no sin, not even death held power over God’s Man, the image and likeness of God.²

Mary Baker Eddy was healed many times of many ailments. She even had a ‘deathbed’ experience. When the doctors proclaimed there wasn’t anything else they could do for her and that death was what was going to happen to her shortly. She asked for her Holy Bible. She opened it up to a healing account of Jesus’ and she was healed. She got out of the bed, dressed herself, showed herself well to her friends instead of dying. She then went on a three year mission with her Holy Bible, studying, praying, gleaning, learning and proving the what and how of her healing by healing others. She later shared her learning with others and called it Christian Science. The Science of the Christ, the Science, knowledge of the how and the what of the Christ. The Christ power that was in the life experiences of those before Christ Jesus and that is in all of our lives in the here and now.

The power she learned from the Christ healing work she shared with the world. As Christian Scientist we feel great gratitude for Mrs. Eddy as well as for Christ Jesus. Because the two of them are the forever two witnesses to the Laws of God, Love. They shared the power, manifestation, expression of ‘Immanuel, God with us’ all. They gave proof to the ever-present divine Laws of God. They taught us all, that it isn’t a gift for a few but for all mankind to express and prove for themselves. This healing ministry is provable for all. “The divine Principle of healing is proved in the personal experience of any sincere seeker of Truth.”⁴ This ‘divine Principle…Truth’ is God Law of Truth and this heals the sick, lifts the sinning and dying, and reveals Life as God’s presence being reflected by Man.

Many of us have seen this healing presence of God’s divine laws being manifested right where the mortal claims of disaster, disease, sinful temptations and even death claimed to be more powerful. God is the only power, the only Life, the Spirit, Soul, Principle Creator of the Universe including Man. God is Love and He expresses His healing Love through us all and with us all. He never leaves, therefore His perfect Being, the Being that we reflect, never leaves us. This perfect Being heals us of all misconceptions, lies, opinions, theories, false systems, dogmas and creeds concerning life in a matter based, mortal existence, the lies of the error, devil that tries to forever separate us from the Truth of our Being as God’s children.

God’s laws are the only true Law, otherwise how could Christ Jesus heal man and woman from all sorts of the mortal beliefs? Man reflects these laws and is maintained by them. Man is here as proof of these laws and are to prove them in his daily experience. God’s laws are the only Power. The false claims of mortal beliefs have no power to change the ever-powerful, ever-present, All-in-all of God. As we prove God’s healing ever-presence and Man’s reflection, expression, duty and responsibility to be healed and heal with God’s laws, the lies disappear.

Man is the proof, the reflection, the image and likeness of all that God is and is doing.  We are told “mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace.”³ By ‘marking this perfect man’ in our thoughts and our lives, we are proving the ‘Scientific Statement of Being’.

Burdened? Sick? Sinning? Dying? Learn this Scientific Statement of Being. This Scientific statement is our being as the image and likeness, the ‘perfect Man’ of God’s creation. It is provable, healing, lifting and powerful.

Let us stop being the victims of lies and see our Divine Right as the Children of God.

Gentle hugs

'Ignorance isn't bliss'

After driving through the United States once, I was SHOCKED at how many laws I had broken without knowing it.  Each state having their own laws can be so different from one state line to the next on certain issues.  I hadn't taken the time to check.

Have you ever driven into a state without knowing all of their laws?  Afterwards, or when we get into trouble, we realize that we have broken several laws without intent? 

Saying, “I didn’t know they had that law,” as we get a ticket doesn’t stop the law or the punishment. Whose fault would it be, ours for not knowing or the state for having the law?  Ignorance isn’t an excuse when it comes to laws.  We are responsible for learning the laws of the land and then following them.  There are ways to learn these laws but we have to take the time to search for them, study them, and memorize them so that we do not forget and break them.

Just as there are laws of the land, there are also Divine Laws.  When we break them, even unintentionally, we are penalized for them. As long as we keep breaking them we are in the wrong and we then pay a price.  To acknowledge that they are there but then not to follow them doesn’t free us from the cost of breaking them.  We must know them and obey them.

The very first and utmost Divine Law, a Law that a majority of people have read and have been taught is, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”  This ‘me’ is God, Love, the Creator, the One All and only Good.  When we find other things, people, jobs, activities more pressing, more important, more attractive, we are actually breaking a law, a Divine Law.  Those who do not pay attention to this law or doesn’t realize its validity is no less immune to the penalties. Just as one who drives through a state that has a law such as ‘hands free’ cell phone usage and doesn’t obey that law.  

When life seems like we are hitting brick walls, one after another.  When life seems harder than it should be, filled with obstacles, hardships, disappointments, we need to find out the spiritual Divine Law that we are breaking and stop it.  We need to realize that if life is hard it is probably because we’re making it that way. By not knowing and turning to, following and obeying a Divine Law we’re making our lives harder.

It is like turning a page and trying to read the words upside down.  Most of us can do it. After many years of reading this way it would seem normal. But it is harder. We would have to work at it.  It is disconnected and slower for our brains.  Life could be so much less of a hassle. 

Life can be more productive, more rewarding if we knew the Creator’s ways, means, laws, and directions.  Things could be calmer, more gentle, easier.  Let’s go back to the very first commandment.  If we had only one God and that God was Good, Love, the Truth, intelligence; and, if we followed God towards every question, receiving Good as an answer, why would we want to work so hard?  Because as errant children we think that we won’t get our own way, our own object, intent, or good.  Like disobedient children we keep trying to do it our way with the frustrations, anger, disappointments that disobedience brings…’how’s that working for us’?

God knows all because He created all.  God is Good and His way, intent, love is to give us all Good.  All we have to do is learn His Divine Laws, follow them to the letter and obey.  The reward?  Good!
