Destroying Loneliness

From the May 1973 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Christian Science reveals a spiritual sense of companionship that brightens and uplifts the human mind. It destroys the unhappy feeling of isolation or loneliness and frees one from dependence on other persons for completeness and well-being.

This does not imply that one becomes coldly indifferent to his family and friends. What it does mean is that he gains a truer sense of companionship by understanding the real man and his inseparable relationship to God. We, our family, friends, and all men are really one in substance, life, and intelligence, for we reflect individually the divine Mind that conceives us and holds us forever within itself.

When we begin to understand that man's real individuality is not material, but is a compound spiritual idea, comprised of all God's qualities, we see that we never can be separated from the true identities of others, because we all are spiritual embodiments of those qualities, never isolated but united in the substance of the one infinite Soul.
