No Separation

DOROTHY DESMOND

To many millions of the world's citizens today, one of the most relentless suggestions is separation. Train, plane, bus, and ship often seem to have but one mission, the rending of human ties, the parting of loved ones.

But students of Christian Science, in their understanding of divine reality, have the means of escaping lonely hours or years in an arid waste of belief in separation. In meeting this claim, let the student of Christian Science be radical in his stand from the start, heeding well the Biblical instruction. "I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."

The "I" which sets forth life and blessing is the divine Mind, described in the textbook. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 591) as, "The only I, or Us; the only Spirit, Soul, divine Principle, substance, Life, Truth, Love: the one God." That which, on the other hand, sets forth cursing and death is the belief in a material selfhood separate from God or Truth, and in this belief is the only sense of separation which can possibly exist.
