If we assume that life and intelligence are in the human body, we may conclude that God comes into the framework of human organization in which our bodies participate. We then tend to work out our organizational relationships with the expectancy that they have God's sanction. In doing this, however, we ignore the fundamental point in Christian Science that man is the spiritual expression of God, the one Mind.
God is never in physical organization called the human body. Nor is He in any other material organization. God, Mind, unfolds His own pattern of goodness and love. Man, as Mind's inseparable expression, participates in this unfoldment. Knowing this, we gain comforting assurance, for it is by yielding to divine Love's directing that we find ourselves making truly satisfying progress. We begin to feel God's blessing in our increasing inspiration, confidence, and strength.
As we glimpse our pure selfhood in Love's illumination, we reject and relinquish the limited and limiting views of ourselves and of others. We perceive, in humble gratitude, that our affairs move with greater harmony and steadiness along the currents of irresistible Love. We experience some of the blessings implicit in Mrs. Eddy's statement, "Mortals must gravitate Godward, their affections and aims grow spiritual,—they must near the broader interpretations of being, and gain some proper sense of the infinite,—in order that sin and mortality may be put off."Science and Health, p.265;
