It is evident to the world that many boundaries of the human mind are breaking down. The limits imposed by matter are disappearing before the application of intelligence to the uses of the so-called forces which constitute matter. Mary Baker Eddy says in "Christian Healing" (p. 11), "We are in the midst of a revolution; physics are yielding slowly to metaphysics; mortal mind rebels at its own boundaries; weary of matter, it would catch the meaning of Spirit."
Through Christian Science we find that our experiences are mental, the externalization of our thoughts. In other words, we think our limitations and then experience what we think. Through Science we also find that matter is only a limited way of thinking, a misconception of what God creates. Inevitably, all the physical boundaries set up by mortal thinking will break down as human beliefs yield to the unlimited concepts which are forever known to spiritual sense. The meaning of Spirit— its harmony, omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience—is finding its way into the thinking of receptive mentalities as men instinctively rebel against the boundaries of matter and explore new fields of thought which Science reveals. Matter's nature as mesmeric illusion is being recognized, and many are refusing to be deluded by its claims.
The spirituality of Christ Jesus, that is, his knowledge of God as Spirit, freed him from the limitations of matter and its laws. He thought in terms of the vastness of Spirit, the depth of Love, the infinitude of Truth, the impersonal perfection of man. Mrs. Eddy says in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 30): "The great Way-shower illustrated Life unconfined, uncontaminated, untrammelled, by matter. He proved the superiority of Mind over the flesh, opened the door to the captive, and enabled man to demonstrate the law of Life, which St. Paul declares 'hath made me free from the law of sin and death.'"
