"The model for human action"
The accepted purpose of the education of mortals in human knowledge is so to awaken their thought that they may lay hold of true values and be able to refute the worthless and defective. Material instruction, based as it must always be on premises and conclusions in themselves often speculative and contradictory, provides neither for teacher nor for student anything but the opportunity to select that which appears nearest right and most conducive to progress.
When, through spiritual understanding, men have come to recognize the erroneous and wholly theoretical foundation of all mortal reasoning, they are no longer affected by the contradictory and fluctuating nature of what results therefrom. They are able to observe the ebb and flow, the temporary establishing and reversing of mortal standards, without alarm, knowing that by such means error is uncovering and destroying itself.
On page 306 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy writes, "Undisturbed amid the jarring testimony of the material senses, Science, still enthroned, is unfolding to mortals the immutable, harmonious, divine Principle,—is unfolding Life and the universe, ever present and eternal."
