"The maximum of perfection"

Violet Ker Seymer

On page 232 of "Miscellaneous Writings" Mrs. Eddy writes, "Proportionately as we part with material systems and theories, personal doctrines and dogmas, meekly to ascend the hill of Science, shall we reach the maximum of perfection in all things."

"The maximum of perfection" is and always has been the fundamental fact regarding God, man, and all creation. It knows no lapse, but is continually being demonstrated by Mind's manifestation. Every case of healing in Christian Science results from a change in human thought, from a glint of perfect divinity bringing clarity and blessing to whoever reflects it.

In order to succeed in each metaphysical task confronting us—and every task is primarily metaphysical—we must continually lay off deterrents to progress. We should give ever clearer evidence in human ways of the omnipresence of divine perfection. Are we still crediting material theories relating to health and heredity, or human doctrines regarding God? If so, these general misbeliefs, contrary to Truth, must be parted with before thought can rise, unfettered, to the spiritual recognition of "the maximum of perfection in all things."
