"With one Father, even God, the whole family of man would be brethren; and with one Mind and that God, or good, the brotherhood of man would consist of Love and Truth, and have unity of Principle and spiritual power which constitute divine Science." So writes Mrs. Eddy in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (pp. 469, 470).
It is in this true sense of brotherhood, a sense which Christ Jesus stressed, that Christian Scientists keep alive in their thought the fact that those who have gone on have the same everlasting Father that we have—God. We realize that from the standpoint of man's unity with God these individuals embody and express immortal qualities and that these qualities constitute their deathless identity.
Even a slight recognition of this fact assures us that as we grow in spiritual perception and discernment we shall cease honoring death as an actuality and realize that the mortal belief in death cannot separate identities from each other any more than it can separate them from God.
