FROM the studio of a broadcasting station proceed programs of music, song, and recitation. The station acts as a medium of service, education, information, and pleasure to very many, and is helpful in proportion to the excellence of its program and the public's response to what it has to offer. In order to receive benefit from the service being rendered, the individual must make correct contact through the radio receiving set. It is not necessary for one to know anything about the workings of the broadcasting station or its location. It is essential, however, that the dial of his receiver be turned to its proper place; and provided mechanical operations are harmonious, this results in immediate response. At times, interference known as static causes a blurred sound, and the message is not clear. A station may be in constant operation, but its activity is available only to those who associate with it through right contact.
Man, created in God's image and likeness, perfectly reflects God. Mind, God, is never inoperative, but is omnipresent and omniactive; and man, as God's expression, reflects Him. Onpage 262 of "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy, writes: "God creates man perfect and eternal in His own image. Hence man is the image, idea, or likeness of perfection—an ideal which cannot fall from its inherent unity with divine Love, from its spotless purity and original perfection."
Creation, as effect, is composed of spiritual ideas, which coexist with the one and only cause, God, and express His eternal perfection. God is infinite individuality, self-conscious Being; and God is expressed in the activity of His ideas. Man, God's idea, is the embodiment of all right ideas, and true selfhood reflects the qualities, attributes, and capacity of Mind. These spiritual facts reveal the truth of being, including man's indestructible, harmonious, and eternal unity with the indivisible creative Mind. They further prove the absurdity of any claim of a possible separation of God and man, because without God, man would be nonexistent, and without man, God would be unexpressed. Thus we may comprehend, to some degree at least, the truth of man's "inherent unity with divine Love."
