I sing my way today,
My heart is joyous, free,
For what is Thine is ever mine,
I find myself in Thee.
This verse from the Christian Science Hymnal (No. 16) proclaims abundant blessings for him who finds himself in God, who awakens to the Christ-idea of spiritual existence here and now. Man is God's son, His likeness, according to the Holy Scriptures. Therefore, because man exists as the exact and complete reflection of God, he inherits good alone.
The recognition of true spiritual being makes one aware of his glorious inheritance of perfection and harmony. To become convinced of spiritual existence one must abandon false beliefs which identify man as a penalized mortal, a product of human parentage, that lives in a mixture of material good and evil and is subject to threats of lack, verdicts of disease, and the inevitability of death. Mary Baker Eddy clearly separates Spirit and matter. Spirit is real; matter is unreal. In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" she draws the line of demarcation between the reality of man, Spirit's reflection, and the unreality of the counterfeit, a mortal.
