Look around you. What do you see?
Table, chairs, walls, a window? Trees, park bench, cars? A huge range of material objects constantly facing us and apparently real may lead us to think of them as entirely actual, parts of our natural environment.
Christian Science equips us to be so undistracted by the moving, colorful, sometimes disturbing scenes about us that we're not deflected from recognizing the presence of God and realizing Deity as the only presence. It shows us how to be spiritually rather than materially minded and to enjoy the mastery of discord that spiritual mindedness brings.
