The possibilities now opening up of journeying to strange, unknown worlds attract the imagination and stir the human spirit. What is taking place is more than a spectacular technological feat. Mrs. Eddy notes, "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.'' Christian Healing, p. 11 Space exploration may symbolize this rebellion.
Men have an insistent realization that there is always something beyond what is already discovered and known. What is it that prompts human thought to go on questioning, that keeps curiosity alive? What is it that impels human thought to continue the effort to break out of its successive prisons?
It is the Christ, or Truth. It is the Christ that liberates human consciousness from itself, that enables it to realize that the divine Mind is the only Mind and that Mind's universe is the only universe. All the discoveries being made, all the research and exploration, can be interpreted as hinting the human mind's reaching out for divine reality, for the realization that divine Mind is All, that Mind and its ideas comprise all that really exists.
