God is infinitely individual. He is the wholly good divine Mind and cause of all that exists. Christian Science reveals that aught unlike Spirit, God, such as sin, disease, and matter, is actually unreal. It is merely an illusion of false, material sense from which Christ, Truth, delivers humanity. God's distinct name and nature have not an equal in His creation, but are reflected in all that He has made. Isaiah records this message from God (46:5, 9): "To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?...Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me."
Each of God's countless children, each of the infinitude of ideas that reflect Him, reflects His individuality in an eternal, definitely outlined, individual, spiritual identity. Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 281), "The one Ego, the one Mind or Spirit called God, is infinite individuality, which supplies all form and comeliness and which reflects reality and divinity in individual spiritual man and things." God outlines the pure spiritual nature and good purpose of all His ideas. He gives to each one the ability to act and to do only His will.
Christian Science reveals that the limited, material sense of individuality, which has seemed to be one's selfhood, cannot dispute the fact that each one actually does exist now and always as a pure, whole, perfect, spiritual, individual child of God. Since matter or error is not God, it cannot create; it merely misrepresents what is already divinely created. And this misrepresentation is seen in Christian Science to be merely a false belief. This false belief is displaced and replaced in human consciousness as the understanding of what constitutes individuality is accepted by the individual.
