What an uplifting thought that will be to all mankind, when we shall have but one God, one mind, and shall love all things and be loved by all. Then the God-given power and dominion will be made manifest, as Christian Science teaches. Now just think how thankful we should be to God for the revelation of truth, and the instructions we have received in Christian Science through our dear Teacher, Mrs. Eddy, by which it is daily demonstrated that "all is Mind," that all things created and made are eternal, from everlasting to everlasting, because God Himself is the only real creator and maker, and there is no other; and as we recognize God to be Spirit, we see that man and the universe must be spiritual.
One may say, What is it, then, that we see with our physical eyes? Why simply the inverted thought, for God's man and God's creation can be seen only mentally.
Spiritually speaking, God is the life and substance of man, hence they are inseparable. They exist in perfect harmony; are always thinking, speaking, hearing, and acting good. Their oneness is such that no possible separation can take place, as man exists because God exists, and we understand God exists forever. Christian Scientists recognize this inseparableness of God and man, which fills them full of love—such a love as those outside Christian Science cannot understand; and some in Christian Science find it hard to do so. That is why the Christian Scientist is so often misunderstood, and even condemned, when he is perhaps following nearest to the divine command, "Love your neighbor as yourself." For that reason we find the good we are trying to do is often a stumbling-block in our way for a time. But God sees all good and rewards according to motives. Scientifically speaking this oneness exists, and we prove it so by every demonstration in Christian Science, let it be great or small.
