Common judgment leads us to accept as real and concrete what the physical senses convey. That acceptance is just about universal. But when we start to think more deeply, we question whether the senses really do faithfully tell us the truth. We question, for instance, the mixture of good and evil in the sense world and may puzzle about its being so out of character with an all-powerful and good creator, or Deity. Christian Science, however, helps dissolve the enigma.
There's a spotlight
in the Bible on the
need for cultivating
spiritual perception.
That which causes—which is—all our problems, every one of them, is sense evidence and sense chatter that we have not spiritually annulled. "Christian Science and the senses are at war," Mary Baker Eddy explains. "It is a revolutionary struggle." Miscellaneous Writings, p. 101 It is a moment-to-moment confrontation. But when the material senses are silenced, the spiritual truth of God and man is triumphant in our consciousness.
