In her book "Miscellaneous Writings" Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, makes this statement: "Infinite progression is concrete being, which finite mortals see and comprehend only as abstract glory."Mis., p. 82;One dictionary meaning of the adjective "concrete" is, "opposed to abstract"; another is, "real, actual, tangible"; and we find that "concrete" suggests "individuality and actuality of existence or experience."
Progress onward and upward is essential if there is to be any purpose or meaning in life. Without forward movement there is stagnation, corruption, disease, and dissolution.
The Bible unfolds the steady progress of the human mind out of error, and in its pages can be detected the experience of the individual human being as he emerges from beliefs in a false material selfhood to the realization of his true identity as the perfect man of God's creating.
