Know Thyself and Love Thy Brother

Paul Stark Seeley

Just now a student of Christian Science said to me, "I can work for others, but it seems difficult for me to work for myself." Many times have I heard other students make that same statement.

Still others have as frequently said, "I can work for myself, but I cannot seem to work for others." Is there any basis in Science for either statement? If not, let us see that there is not, for our individual progress is furthered whenever we refuse to accept and voice mistaken and limiting viewpoints.

When one first accepts Christian Science, he finds himself entering what to him seems a new universe, the universe of Spirit, Mind, God. He begins to reason from the standpoint that all reality is comprised in infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation. He thinks of his individuality differently than before. He begins to see that his true selfhood is not a three-dimensional, material, organic body with a mind inside, but contrariwise an individual idea, or image, of limitless Mind, existing for the rational purpose of individually evidencing the presence, activity, and perpetuity of Mind. And he recognizes that his brother exists for the same reason.
