WHAT AN EXPANDING ADVENTURE it can be to catch glimpses of the radiant womanhood of God that reveals "the highest ideal of Love"! Isn't it wonderful that not one of us—either man or woman—is defined by the Eve-type mentality put forth in Genesis 2 in the Bible?
Eve is not just a woman—she represents a state of thought that is vulnerable to the suggestions of "the serpent"—of being incomplete, separate from God, the one Mind. Lacking divine wisdom, this mental state naively believes what it sees with the material senses and is bolstered by the serpent's promise—being made wise by believing that both evil and good comprise all that is real. This ignorant state of thought inevitably falls victim to the lying temptation of the serpent. Guilt, unworthiness, blame, sorrow, and failure accompany this counterfeit of womanhood.
In bold contrast, Mary Baker Eddy presents the Biblical description of true womanhood in Revelation, in which all evil falls.
