Christian Science shows us that man's potential is infinitely greater than that of the fallible mortal we see walking around. We learn how to reassess our identity in new, spiritual terms by relating it to God, divine Mind, as its source.
Making this reassessment takes some doing because the limited material evidence regarding man seems so utterly convincing. But this false testimony can be shaken, and the process must be started by first learning more of the allness, the infinitude, of the real man's creative Principle, omnipotent, omnipresent Mind. Mrs. Eddy makes this clear. She writes, "We know no more of man as the true divine image and likeness, than we know of God." Science and Health, p. 258
We need have no fear that we will lose anything of real value when we begin looking beyond the material body and brain for evidences of the real you and me. The more we know of God and of man's inseparable unity with Him, the more our native joy, infinite capacities, and impregnable health will come to light. Human experience will improve in every department, for there is nothing abstract about Truth.
