Spiritualization of thought: it's the only thing that will prosper and unite our church and keep it safe. It alone must finally help Christian Science stand out, separate and apart, from merely mortal thinking and organization.
Metaphysically seen, consciousness is divine. Job perceived this when he said of God, "He is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth." Job 23:13; Consciousness isn't something that needs to be spiritualized or that can be. Scientifically, it is the activity of Spirit. The best way to spiritualize our thinking is to accept the consciousness of divine Spirit as ours. This isn't primarily a matter of time and labor but of inspiration and real love.
To keep safe the Church of Christ, Scientist, and to maximize its usefulness to mankind, we must understand that Church is really Love's divine idea. Just as there is only one kind of consciousness, there is only one kind of Church, the infinite Church, representing the infinitude of Truth and Love. That there is the divine idea, Church, and that we have a church institution doesn't mean there is more than one Church. It does mean that the one Church can be seen in a human way.
