THE possession of a home, rightly understood, is inherent in real consciousness, as is seen when man is conceived as reflecting the allness of Mind. However, mortal mind, with its claims of world upheavals, restless personalities, and laborious processes, argues against such direct realization of good. Thus the possession of home often seems to elude the individual.
Yet the study and application of Christian Science show one that no right achievement is impossible. Indeed, students of this Science have discerned the great fact that to whatever appears as a human problem there is a divine answer. Home, as a spiritual concept, is practically demonstrable here and now. How can the true understanding of home be gained? And of what value can a divine answer be to the average person who thinks of himself as an ordinary mortal?
On page 475 of her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy says of man, "He is the compound idea of God, including all right ideas." Later in the same paragraph she speaks of him as "that which possesses no life, intelligence, nor creative power of his own, but reflects spiritually all that belongs to his Maker."
