A demonstration of Christian Science in the healing of sickness and discord or in the fulfillment of a long-awaited, joy-bringing event is a sacred experience. Whether the individual need is instantaneous healing or a step-by-step process of orderly and harmonious development, each demonstration signifies a clearer unfoldment of God's omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience, thus proving the redeeming Christ-mission of Christian Science.
The term spiritual unfoldment in its highest sense describes the self-existence of God, Spirit, eternally manifesting Himself through man. It is the ceaseless functioning of divine Mind, expressing itself through its ideas in perfect harmony, order, and intelligence. Spiritual unfoldment indicates the self-perpetuating, vitalizing activity of God, eternal Life, manifested by His creation. It represents the eternal utterance of Truth, proclaiming through man its invariable and undiminishable omnipotence.
In its relation to human consciousness spiritual unfoldment is the revelation or discovery of divine reality. It is the dawning of spiritual truth, gradually dissolving the mists of material ignorance and bringing into accurate focus objects or ideas as they exist in Spirit. It loosens the restricting and enslaving bonds of mortality and establishes harmony, healing, and regeneration.
