Christian Science reveals this great spiritual fact of being: God is the only Mind or perfect creator, who has created perfect, spiritual man. Physical and moral healings are accomplished in Christian Science as the eternal Christ—the true idea of being—is understood and demonstrated. Mrs. Eddy states in Science and Health that "the Christlike understanding of scientific being and divine healing includes a perfect Principle and idea,—perfect God and perfect man,—as the basis of thought and demonstration." Science and Health, p. 259;
Another healing fact this Science reveals is that God, Mind, is Soul, and Soul's attributes—spiritual grace, innocence, harmony, purity—are eternally reflected by man, God's perfect likeness. These qualities of God, and many others, constitute the real man's ageless, sinless, diseaseless, deathless being, or spiritual selfhood. Man's individuality does not exist as a separate entity or ego, apart from God, Soul. Neither is individuality ever material or mortal, but always spiritual, good, immortal. It is the radiant, flawless reflection of God, the one Ego.
Mrs. Eddy writes of the spiritual relationship of God and man: "God creates man perfect and eternal in His own image. Hence man is the image, idea, or likeness of perfection—an ideal which cannot fall from its inherent unity with divine Love, from its spotless purity and original perfection." The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 262;
