THERE IS NO MATTER, NO TIME

From the August 1954 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The renowned physicist, Dr. Albert Einstein, has proclaimed that time is the fourth dimension. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, states (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 22): "Christian Science translates Mind, God, to mortals. It is the infinite calculus defining the line, plane, space, and fourth dimension of Spirit." Mrs. Eddy discerned Spirit's timeless, measureless infinity, wherein there is no matter.

Divine Science demonstrates the infinite calculus of Spirit, which proves the nothingness of matter and the allness of God. Spirit, God, occupies all space. It is all substance, all-power, omniaction, omniscience. Then, in real being, time and matter are nonexistent. Our Leader says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p.475), "To infinite Spirit there is no matter,—all is Spirit, divine Principle and its idea." This truth of divine metaphysics utilized heals the sick, reforms the sensualist, raises the dead, and establishes universal harmony. It demonstrates Life in Christ.

False education leads men along the road of material beliefs, a way which mortals often travel until Christian Science completely reverses their erroneous thinking. Then through spiritual understanding they walk in the way of Spirit, Truth, and Love. The true and highest education is in understanding the substance of Mind's spiritual ideas—the joy, love, purity, and intelligence that constitute them.
