CONTINUITY, which is the state of being continuous, characterizes the life and individuality of man and of all reality. This is so because the one real cause, Mind, Spirit, God, is continuous and it is in Mind's manifestation that the continuity of God is individualized and made evident.
Mary Baker Eddy says, "Spirit is the life, substance, and continuity of all things" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 124). Spirit, Mind, is the only real life of you and me, the only real substance of each of us, and the continuity of all of us. The uninterruptibleness of our life and consciousness is as sure as is God's continuance, which man must ever express.
Mortals, for the most part, have long believed that life is not stopped by death. They have had an innate feeling that in some way the continuance of life is provided for by forces they did not understand. In some museums one sees the food and clothes that were placed in the tombs of Egypt's kings and queens thousands of years ago with the intent to supply their immediate human needs in the hereafter.
