Many remarkable unfoldments are going on in human consciousness, but nothing is more important than the appearing of the spiritual idea, Church. According to Christian Science, this structure of Deity includes the true concept of everything created. In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy defines "Church" in its absolute, or real, sense as, "The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle" (p. 583). And in her Message to The Mother Church for 1900 she says (p. 4): "Do religionists believe that God is One and All? Then whatever is real must proceed from God, from Mind, and is His reflection and Science."
Studying this great Science, we find that man is God's reflection, that he is real, that he proceeds from his source, divine Mind, and that each individual has his place in the universal structure. There is great security for the church member who proves his true identity as a specific idea of God, perpetually maintained in a state of perfection by reason of his relation to his Principle.
In order to hold in continuous soundness and inviolate formation all of its ideas, divine Principle utilizes its spiritual forces of adhesion, cohesion, and attraction. The ideas of God adhere to divine Principle, cohere with all other ideas, and invariably express the attraction of Truth and Love. Thus they are spiritually formed and sustained.
