In "Miscellaneous Writings" Mary Baker Eddy (p.264): "Unity is the essential nature of Christian Science. Its Principle is One, and to demonstrate the divine One, demands oneness of thought and action." It was Mrs. Eddy's "oneness of thought and action" which enabled her to interpret in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p.16) the Master's words in the Lord's Prayer, "Hallowed be Thy name," as "Adorable One."
Christian Science teaches that no one can believe in more than one God and demonstrate His wholeness, fullness, and infinitude. In Christian Science the one God is the perfect Ego, boundless, deathless, and eternal. This Ego-God is our Father-Mother, and the Ego-man, generic man, including all God's sons and daughters, has never lived apart from God in an existence of his own. He always has lived in perfect unity with the one God, one Mind, one Life, Truth, and Love. In this Ego-God and Ego-man we find the only I or Us.
In the kingdom of heaven all of God's spiritual ideas are forever individual, governed by the Father, and united in one brotherhood. But in human experience, because of the belief of minds many, there sometimes seem to be dissension and separation. Divine relationship, the only true relationship, has never been disrupted by the dream of human relationship, however sweet or bitter. In the kingdom of Love each one is wedded to his Maker and is in divine relationship to all of God's other children. The understanding of these truths heals the discords and the separations of mankind.
