There is nothing drab or colorless to human life when one begins to build spiritually. Even a glimpse of man's real selfhood in unity with God imparts a whole new dimension to one's experience. There is an innate vitality and buoyancy in Godlike thinking and living. This clothes the most prosaic human tasks and events in a new light. These are seen to afford constant and varied opportunities to build on the rock, Truth, and steadily develop one's spiritual understanding and capacities.
To some this may seem a novel point of view because spiritual activity has been widely considered to be anything but interesting—in fact, the very epitome of all that is abstract and dull. But the materialist who thinks in these terms is being blinded by a false view of himself and his environment. And, unknown to himself, it is this very attitude that makes human life seem a tasteless and pointless series of events having no meaningful goal in sight.
On the other hand, the earnest student of Christian Science has learned from experience that the scientific knowledge of God as infinite divine Love, far from being dull and abstract, is a dynamic force that heals the sick. He sees that his understanding of God can be developed as he grows in Christlikeness, as he strives to be more loving, pure, and true. This spiritual building then becomes his chief preoccupation. Through study, prayer, and Christian living the divine Mind becomes more and more substantive to his awakening thought. The student begins to feel and know himself to be in God, in all-encompassing Love, and more clearly perceives the pure spirituality of his own and others' real identities.
