This month's issue of the Journal includes a report of the meeting held in Boston August 16-18 for members of Christian Science organizations at colleges and universities. Those who attended this meeting are now addressing the challenges on their respective campuses of putting into practice the inspiration they gained at the meetings. These challenges call for a new perspective on individual capacities—the capacity to serve the organization and to share Christian Science, as well as the capacities of fellow students and faculty members to receive this sharing.
How prone many of us are to judge capacities by past performances! Yet man is created spiritual and perfect in the likeness of God, the one Mind, Soul, or Life, and the only real Ego. God, the source of all spiritual capacities, causes His man, the true individuality of each of us, to include them all. In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy writes, "The divine Ego, or individuality, is reflected in all spiritual individuality from the infinitesimal to the infinite."Science and Health, p. 336.
Through increasing our understanding of the unlimited divine individuality, or Ego, which we actually fully reflect, we enlarge what may have seemed inadequate capacities in ourselves. We also find readiness and receptivity in others who may once have seemed indifferent to our sharing.
