CHRISTIAN SCIENCE lifts the curtain upon the primal order of the universe. It unveils the truth concerning God and His entire creation, revealing God as Spirit, and all that He makes as spiritual. To the material senses, man and his environment appear to be material and perishable. To illumined spiritual understanding, however, understanding gained through the revelation of Christian Science, the real creation is seen to be spiritual, indestructible, coexisting with and held within the divine Mind, whence it emanates.
Instructed by Christian Science, thought turns from materiality with its claim to be the creation of God, to the recognition of the spiritual universe, which does truly image forth God. The fundamental teaching of Christian Science makes a distinct cleavage between the counterfeit sense of creation as matter, and the true spiritual creation about which the material senses put forth a confused and mistaken concept. In the light of this revelation, the real, spiritual man in God's likeness and the real universe are seen to be as immortal now as they ever will be. They coexist with God eternally, as the ideas of divine Mind. Immortality is discerned to be the true nature and estate of both man and the universe, now and forever. The primal order of true existence is thus revealed.
Into this celestial order, no discord of material belief can intrude. To divine order, disorder is nonexistent. Man and the universe, as God knows and holds them, exemplify infinite order, law, harmony. In humility all things move, obeying heavenly direction. On page 91 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy has written: "The Revelator tells us of 'a new heaven and a new earth.' Have you ever pictured this heaven and earth, inhabited by beings under the control of supreme wisdom?"
