"NOT ONE FAILETH"

Richard J. Davis

In every particular the Adamdream is a belief that man is separated from God. This dream attempts to appear as a perpetual belief that we are not, as John declared, the sons of God—the ideas of Mind—but the sons of men.

Christian Science awakens us to the nowness of our divine sonship. It reveals and explains our present and forever oneness with divine Mind, our Father-Mother God. The study of Christian Science shows us that because Mind is one and infinite, it is upon this Mind that we can rightly rely for our intelligence and thinking capacity. We perceive that right now it is our privilege to demonstrate spontaneous intelligence and divine capacity.

The study of Christian Science shows us that since Mind is one and infinite and man is the emanation and expression of that Mind, there is no limit to our ability to demonstrate that fact right now. Referring to this, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 336), "Immortal man was and is God's image or idea, even the infinite expression of infinite Mind, and immortal man is coexistent and coeternal with that Mind." And she further declares: "The spiritual man's consciousness and individuality are reflections of God. They are the emanations of Him who is Life, Truth, and Love."
