Man's Nature Is Spiritual

JOHN JACOB LAUPPE, JR.

Christian Science , the revelation of real being, is gently erasing from the human consciousness the mistaken belief that man is material. Through an understanding of this Science we learn that man exists eternally as the perfect reflection of perfect Mind. An understanding of the allness of God, divine Mind, and of man's oneness therewith, frees one from belief in the existence of many minds, or the belief that each individual has a mind of his own separate from the one infinite Mind.

Man has no intelligence, life, or will apart from God. Since God is the only Life, omnipresent and eternal, man cannot be separated from Life. He is forever protected by God, Principle, through divine law. The creative Principle, divine Love, is reflected in God's creation.

Inasmuch as man is the true image and likeness of God, universal Love, he is universally loving. Since he is the perfect reflection of his creator, he cannot lose, or be separated from, any of his divinely derived qualities, such as holiness, understanding, purity, love. Such qualities as these emanate from divine Mind and are expressed by man.
