Any conclusion you may reach about yourself and your experiences, whether for good or evil, depends entirely on the premise from which you reason. Present-day judgments are based largely on the premise that man is an imperfect creature, part flesh and part mind, living in a material universe and striving almost helplessly to advance towards a state of perfection, which he believes he must ultimately die to achieve.
Here Christian Science enters the picture to declare with rousing authority in the words of Mary Baker Eddy (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 242), "Unless you fully perceive that you are the child of God, hence perfect, you have no Principle to demonstrate and no rule for its demonstration." Christian Science has brought to humanity the revelation of a demonstrable Principle and the scientific rule for its demonstration. Christian Science begins with the premise that your true selfhood as well as mine is perfect and spiritual now, and the realization of this fact assures the manifestation of untold blessings.
In order to experience and enjoy perfection now, one must acknowledge perfection now. There is no other way. Dare to claim perfection as the reality of your true being, even while you deny imperfection as the false testimony of material sense. In the measure that you perceive this perfection it will appear in your experience.
