The Dimension of Depth

From the March 1974 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In one sense, depth Is the same as height. It is upside-down height. What is ten feet high from the bottom is ten feet deep from the top.

Christian Scientists think naturally in terms of rising above the evidence of the senses, of lifting their gaze toward Spirit, of mounting to the height of demonstration, of ascending the scale of being. But Mary Baker Eddy also writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures in regard to Jesus of Nazareth, "He plunged beneath the material surface of things, and found the spiritual cause."Science and Health,p. 313

This made Christ Jesus not only the most scientific thinker of all time but also the most profound practitioner of depth psychology—if psychology is understood in its true meaning as the Science of Spirit or Soul.
