No Change—Only "unfolding bliss"

RUTH C. EISEMAN

No one likes limitations. Mortal mind sometimes suggests periods of depression or discomfort, periods of necessary physical or mental adjustments. Christian Science shows us how to meet and master these suggestions which knock at the door of human consciousness.

From the teachings of Christian Science we may perceive that man, created by God, as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis, is not cursed with limitations, but is blessed with God-given dominion. He does not respond to the false suggestions of the Adam-dream, nor does he accept them for himself or others. He is free to express his Godlikeness at all times and seasons, at all periods and stages of existence. He does not live for just a short span of years, but for eternity. He is in reality an idea of Mind, not a mortal, limited by a physical body. He does not respond to suggestions from nerves, which have no authority over the expression of God. He is majestic and noble. In the universe of infinite divine Mind, in which he dwells, there is no material-mindedness, mortal weakness, or personal frailty.

Those wishing to prove the continuity of harmonious unfoldment will do well to turn away from false material beliefs to God, the source of their life. God is Soul, the one all-harmonious, radiant Being. True selfhood, the ideal man, is at one with Soul and reflects this joyous, healthy, enduring radiance. Soul is never variable; neither is man as the reflection of Soul, nor can he be irritable or restless. Rather does he express stability and poise. Man, whose senses are spiritual, does not seek satisfaction in person, or in personal whims or indulgences, but is satisfied with the all-presence of God. He is steadfast, calm, at peace with his God, and so with all God's creation.
