IN Christian Science, one of the essential points is that infinite Mind is conscious, exclusively, of infinite good. Only absolute good is real; hence, nothing else is known to absolute Mind.
Another essential point is that man is like God in this respect and in all respects. The real man is the conscious reflection of Mind, and reflected consciousness is no less pure than the Mind which it reflects.
Although the terms Divine Science and Christian Science are interchangable, Mary Baker Eddy has said that "the term Christian Science relates especially to Science as applied to humanity" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 127). Humanity is that which needs to learn and to demonstrate the truth of being. Human being is not real; what it seems to be is man encumbered and weakened by materiality.
