CHRISTIAN SCIENCE teaches that absolute facts are eternal realities, and may be recognized as the solution for the problems of daily life. Mrs. Eddy writes in "No and Yes" (pp.10,11) that "eternal harmony, perpetuity, and perfection, constitute the phenomena of being, governed by the immutable and eternal laws of God." This reference indicates that the business of Life is represented by divine Science at work in the realm of infinite perfection, the action of eternal laws in constant operation. The realization of this truth is of such value to humanity that it is worthy of the deepest consideration, for only through the understanding of absolute Truth, and increasing obedience thereto, can men find permanent freedom from the delusions of material sense.
As we reason from the premise of the reality of infinite spiritual good, it becomes clear that all the activity of real existence occurs within divinity, for God is All-in-all. It naturally follows that the spiritual creation is forever manifesting the activity of immortal Life, thus expressing the divine pleasure. Did not our Master say, "It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom"? How effortless, then, is Life's care for all that Life produces! How joyous the creator's perpetuation of universal spiritual existence! Creation is blessed by the unbroken, boundless rhythm of heavenly harmony, forever expressing eternal Principle. God, Life, sustains spiritual creation with the bliss of parental Love and the freedom of scientific supremacy.
The sustaining action of the one cause is based upon the changeless value of infinite good and the firm basis of Principle, and not upon the shifting values of mythical matter. The Science of Life operates through "the infinite cycles of eternal existence" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p.319), and is always expressive of undeviating order and purpose. This truth rebukes the belief that Life's business passes through cycles of mortal thought and is sensitive to shifting material belief. The action of divine Principle is always the work of intelligent dominion. Principle contains no element of chance or luck; it always acts scientifically in the bestowal of blessings. The Father's business holds its eternal way through divine laws alone. This activity is Spirit's care of spiritual existence and not mortal mind's manipulation of matter. Boundless wealth of substance is available for this universal care. The divine resources always permit of the unfoldment of existence because they are naturally omnipresent and infinite.
