The most satisfying experience anyone can have is the awakening to his sonship with God. Such an experience has nothing to do with persons, human records, matter, or time. Its source is Mind, and it occurs always within the realm of Mind. True experience shows forth in satisfying illustrations the oneness, or unity, of God and His idea, man. Christian Science states this oneness with winning and divine logic. Man is Love's expression. In a very exact sense, then, only that which is included in Love can unfold as man's experience.
How vastly different is such a concept from that which the world accepts. The material concept includes any event or happening which appears on matter's horizon. The sordid, the spectacular, the morbid—all these are believed to make up man's experience.
But the Science of Christianity enables its student to be discriminating. He no longer itemizes age and limitation, misunderstanding and mistakes, disease and impairment, as the realities of his being. He is glad, instead, to know and to feel the changeless certainty of real being, which is untouched by time and its measurements. From his standpoint experience and time are not synonymous terms. Time is limitation. True experience is coincident with scientific identification of oneself as the expression of God. Then the watchword of the Christian Scientist concerning any situation should be: If there is no God in it, there is no man in it.
