Continual Preservation
The fortieth Psalm contains the prayer, "Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me." Divine Mind's continual preservation of its manifestation or creation is a fact that cannot be successfully refuted.
It would be illogical to suppose that Mind, God, Spirit, could ever be without the manifestation or expression of itself, for cause without effect is unthinkable. Since God, Mind, is self-existent and eternal, it follows that its creation or idea, man and the universe, is its immortal, indestructible expression, and Christian Science teaches that Mind and its manifestation are coexistent and inseparable.
On page 475 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," its author, Mary Baker Eddy, says: "Man is idea, the image, of Love; he is not physique. He is the compound idea of God, including all right ideas." Since man, the image and likeness of God, includes all right ideas, he must and does include the right, or spiritual, concept of all that constitutes the real, all-inclusive manifestation of Mind, and each of these lesser ideas is as eternal as that which includes them. Mrs. Eddy says (ibid., p. 70), "The divine Mind maintains all identities, from a blade of grass to a star, as distinct and eternal."
