MEASURELESS CONCEPTS OF TRUTH

MILLIS CAVERLY

Spiritual understanding is gained through the discernment of divine concepts, of the thoughts of God, which are imparted to His idea, man. Christian Science, discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy, leads us to these measureless concepts of divine Mind. On page 259 of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy says, "Immortal ideas, pure, perfect, and enduring, are transmitted by the divine Mind through divine Science, which corrects error with truth and demands spiritual thoughts, divine concepts, to the end that they may produce harmonious results."

Immortal ideas extend far beyond the confines of words. Even the most beautiful, apt, and consequential words can be but symbols of spiritual concepts. While words in themselves are powerless to bestow good, they may be the doorway through which one enters the realm of spiritual understanding.

One who studies thoroughly the Bible and the works of Mrs. Eddy looks beyond the printed word to grasp the immortal ideas destined to effect the harmonious results so deeply desired by mankind. To accomplish such results, one must guard against falling into a merely repetitious pattern of thinking, as well as against reading words without clearly discerning the accompanying thought. One may grasp the deep meaning of the familiar lines of our textbook by replacing limited thinking with a fresh discovery of the vast and limitless spiritual concepts therein indicated.
